Seven songs. One winner. Finland decides on 8 February during the grand final of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2025. But you can choose your favourite now.

The contenders span several genres — from pop to metalcore to beautiful balladry to euro-dance. And in some instances multiple genres are crammed into one number!

Some songs sound perfect for the radio. Others sound crafted for the stage. And, no doubt, a few will surprise when we finally hear them live.

But that’s for February 8. This poll is for now. Let us know which of the seven entries is your favourite by voting down below, but remember to choose wisely as you will only be able to vote once! 

Poll: Who should win UMK 2025 in Finland?

Neea River – “Nightmares”

Nelli Matula – “Hitaammin hautaan”

Costee – “Sekaisin”

Viivi – “Aina”

One Morning Left – “Puppy”

Goldielocks – “Made of”

Erika Vikman – “Ich komme”

How is Erika 3 days younger than me? Damn… I love her since Cinciolinna and wanted her to come eventually but I always thought she was in mid 40s and would have mother energy.

I’m fine with any choice so long as it isn’t Puppy. I’m so done with these songs that are so desperately trying to be funny, and failing at it from every angle

ERIKA VIKMAN ICH KOMME.

It’s either Made Of or Puppy! Both equally great, but in different ways. I’d be happy with either in Basel.

I can’t believe Erika is currently leading this poll, that number is just p*rnography, there’s no melody, nothing whatsoever, it’s purely p*rn! But then it shows only hardcore fans are voting here… (Pun intended.)

Neea River and Nightmares is the only choice for a Top 10 for Finland. Watch Erika Flop. Mark my words.

Viivi I would need to see live before I get a opinion even though I love the song.

I love ICH KOMME but Erika is weak on stage, vocally weak and staging wise over the top. Hope they work on the track and staging as it should. If Sweden had this song, it would be Top-3 for sure (they know how to work on the entries and execute perfection).

Man, Neea is criminally underrated! If *Nightmares* were competing elsewhere, the fandom would be all over it. With that said, here’s my top 7: 1. Neea River – *Nightmares* 1. Goldielocks – *Made Of* 3. Nelli Matula – *Hitaammin Hautaan* 3. Viivi – *Aina* 5. OML – *Puppy* 6. Erika Vikman – *Ich Komme* 7. Costee – *Sekaisin* Just a note: the top 4 are quite close in my opinion, so the difference isn’t all that noticeable. The rest aren’t far behind either—though maybe *Sekaisin* stands out a bit as the weakest for me.” This version tightens up some phrasing… Read more »

This is a really good lineup! I’m expecting Erika or One Morning Left to win the ticket to Basel, which I wouldn’t complain about. But hopefully it’s not too much to ask for Viivi to do really well. Aina is my personal winner and I think the performance could be very impactful. It reminds me of Kelle ma soitan in 2021.

For me its Neea or Erika.
I love Nelli Matula also, but not as much as the first two. If either of them win, I won’t be mad. Just sad that one of my faves didn’t make it.

They’ve make it in to my Spotify and YouTube playlists and I’ve been hammering all 3 on repeat since!

Puppy is my choice, I think it has the best chance to have the biggest impact at Eurovision. Ich Komme is a close second. Nightmares is my personal favorite track and I’ll enjoy building castles in the sky to it, but I’m not sure it has got wide enough appeal. The same goes for the other tracks too.

Finland definitely delivers a spectacle, they are up there with my favorite national selections.

Puppy is another silly/joke act. It will do as bad in ESC as Windows95man. Puppy is my least favorite. Erika is winning this years UMK

I’m not sure I know what is meant by a silly/joke act. In terms of light-heartedness, focusing on core human emotions, provocative/non-typical Eurovision style, etc, I think Puppy and Ich Komme are quite similar, aren’t they?

Both acts display high levels of musical talent and I respect them both.

Puppy is comedy, though. Ich Komme is fun, but I wouldn’t call it comedy. Both deserve equal respect, of course.

We are different and this makes things interesting. I like rock genre very much so don’t hate me and I don’t like for example Kant which is a eurofan favourite.
In my opinion Finland this year as literally always has a very good quality of songs and again they will deliver one of the best NF this year.

My top 7:

  1. One Morning Left (10/9)
  2. Neea (10/8.5)
  3. Viivi (10/8)
  4. Erika Vikman (10/8)
  5. Goldielocks (10/7.5)
  6. Nelli Matula (10/7)
  7. Costee (10/6)
