Satin Circus is going to win. Listen to their acoustic version of Crossroads on Youtube. Very, very good. They could go far in the competition.
Crossroads.Or anybody except PKN or Norlan, sorry but that’s just horrible and this is a song contest not a positive discrimantion exposition.
I can try to guess who will win the final? I think that ranked last in the survey: Pertti 🙂
Why so many fans of Opera Skaala? But is this song for Eurovision?
Unusually? Yes.
Its motive is catchy and memorable? No.
Personally for me Norlan “El Misionario” much better.
Really unfortunate to see UMK fall so far in quality from one year to the next. However, Finland has two strong entries in Järjestyshäiriö and Satin Circus. Hopefully one of them makes it to Vienna, and judging by this update from YLE, it looks like there’s a decent chance that could happen.

i have to say that this year umk was one of the best natioanl selection!!! really good songs and i could picture a couple of them perfectly representing finland, but i have all my bets for satin circus: so modern, so catchy, so airplay song
the best bets in order:
opera skaala
solju
shava
satin circus is too boyband one directions song that does not even match the quality and impact of last years Finnish entry.
PKN would suffer the faith of last years entry from Belgium and Germany. it was hyped-up because of the some sob story or unit-other artist group that fell flat in the actually contest. this is a song contest. the not-we European public will not care about the your sob story but the quality of your song.
Solju or Norlan please
Opera Skaala definitely, and Solju is my second choice, although I’d be happy if anyone but Satin Circus won, even PKN (who are the most likely to win, sadly).
OPERA SKAALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
My favorite is Satin Circus, but i would be happy if Opera goes to Vienna…
Opera Skaala has it all, really. Solju has the best song but the live vocals could’ve been better, and Satin Circus had a similar problem. However, that doesn’t mean I’d mind if they won. Despite Siru being eliminated, this is still one of the best selections this year. Jarjestyshairio and Aslak are good too, and alternatively I’d love it if Norlan won…
Finland and Norway are overrated in odds. They are not favorites for top 5.
Please vote Opera Skaala, it’s a definite top 3 in Eurovision!
They all suck. Disqualify all of them and send Terasbetoni again.
Solju or Opera Skaala
Opera Skaala por favor!!!
None of them
i like none of these songs
Opera Skaala, but I wouldn’t be too disappointed if Crossroads went through
Crossroads is really amazing! Hope Finland choose them! They will do very well with them! Opera Skaala is too much eurovision! If they choose Crossroads, it will be on my top of my top!
Definitely Opera Skaala.
Opera Skaala have the best song by a massive margin.
