The selection will see seven artists perform. The results will be determined by a mixture of public and jury vote. Unlike previous years, the split will be 75% public, 25% jury. The UMK 2021 finalists are:

  • Aksel “Hurt”
  • Laura “Play”
  • Danny “Sinä päivänä kun kaikki rakastaa mua”
  • Oskr “Lie” Oskari Ruohonen, Joonas Angeria, David Pramik
  • Blind Channel “Dark Side”
  • Ilta “Kelle mä soitan”

For the first time since 2016, Krista Siegfrids will not be hosting the show. Instead, Antti Tuisku will take on presenting duties for the evening. The opening act will see the return of Erika Vikman, the 2020 televote winner. Pop band Haloo Helsinki! will perform during the interval.

No matter who they pick, Finland should be really proud of having such a great batch of potential representatives. Says a lot that so far this is the best NF of the season, a really tight group of unique and original songs. Any number of them could stand to do very well in Rotterdam and I can’t wait to see who they choose! (Also: no, I don’t think we should compete, but I can’t act like I’m not a little excited that the USA has a jury in a NF. We’ve got Eurofans too!)
