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.
Europe will not like Puppy so much like ich komme. Erika is better choice
Finland does really well with transgressive acts imo
I will not vote this time joke acts. If Finland wants do that mistake again. Juries will not vote that joke act. I from Finland and i will vote Erika.
Juries won’t for Erika’s joke as well,
Erika will almost certainly win now.
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.
is groundbreaking and makes a huge impression.?
Watch out Europe ?? ? ? ?
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.)
goldielocks will win mark my words
How I wish for that to be true!!
I don’t think so, but that would be so nice
Ich Komme aged so well to me. Amazing. Finland’s another chance after Kaarija.
Another chance to flop, like Windows95man, you surely mean?
Puppy certainly would!
Erika’s song doesn’t even come close to Cha CHa Cha…
Honestly any but OML works for me, my favourites being Nelli and Viivi
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).
Can’t see Sweden ever would make this kind of song and performance? xD
Erikas Voice is great live and she has charisma galore. So I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Well Erika not flop now because One morning left is now disqualified
Will Anyone write an article about the isolated selection because they just revealed their artists and songs yesterday?
Icelandic?
Yes, it should say Icelandic. I can’t believe I didn’t check before I posted.
Ice-o-lated selection indeed.
my favorites to win is puppy and made of
Vivi obviously. But the yaas queens aren’t ready for that quality.
Have you got something againsy yaas queens?
I love ICH KOMME and Nightmares. I also like Made Of.
Erika of course! The song is fabulous and her breasts are magnificent x
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!
“Made Of” is the best song for me, I think that`s the song that gives Finland the best chances in Basel.
„Made of“ is going to top my Spotify Wrapped this year. I can already see it.
What are you made of?
Erika has the best song. Puppy song is the worst song.
Erika has NO song, it’s just pornograhpy, horrible!
You must have seen not the right p0rnograhpy for sure. OK, it’s sexy and a bit over the top but it’s fine.
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.
I think Ich Komme’s lyrics are very tongue in cheek.
Perhaps that’s the wrong turn of phrase…..
Erika!
To finnish or not to finnish? This is the ef fin g Frage. Pun or no pun my top from Finland this year in this order:
Låt nummer tre: “Sekaisin”
Låt nummer se x: “Made of”
Låt nummer två: “Hitaammim hautaan”
It is rather: To finish? Too Finnish? Finnish? Erika Vikman vs OML vs Goldilocks!
Neea !!
Honestly anyone other than OML could win and I wouldn’t care they’re all the same level for me
The best song should win.
One Morning Left. They are the most unique of the bunch.
its just a childish and brainless la la la drinking song
Nightmares.
I don’t know if they are the best options for Finland but the 2 songs I enjoy to listen are Made of and Sekaisin.
Queen Erika to win with ICH KOMME! Puppy to ROT awful song
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:
FINALLY SOME PUPPY APPRECIATION!!!
my ranking from best to worst:
Erica’s return to UMK is weak, I’m quite disappointed. So OML or Neea.
Anyone but OML
Agree
Rooting against someone, not just due to a different taste but with almost an ideology behind it. So eurofan-ish
Anyone but Erika, you surely ment to say?
