Over past few weeks readers of wiwibloggs have been voting for their favourites to win Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2015, Finland’s selection for Eurovision 2015. The poll has been closed for a few days and we will re-open it after the results from the first heat of the contest are clear. Thus far more than 1,600 votes have been cast, and we have a clear winner…
In first place it’s Satin Circus with their entry “Crossroads”. They earned over 400 votes, or around one in every four. Only one other act from this heat —Norlan “El Misionario” — made the Top 10 of our poll. Our poll suggests that he, along with Pihka ja myrsky, will advance from this heat to the final.
Siru and Opera Skaala, who will both compete in the second heat, round out the top three.

I used to really hate Pihka Ja Myrsky’s song, but it’s really grew on me to the point that it’s my favorite in this heat. It just doesn’t deserve its title and its chorus–the instrumental and its verses are genius.
If Siru doesn´t win in Finland I´ll Stop watching UMK!
If Satin Circus doesn`t win in Finland I`ll stop watching UMK!
Mustelmat is the only song that’s going to get Finland back on top!
