Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2015: Reviews from the Wiwi Jury

Finland’s YLE is bringing the heat in 2015. Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) — its national selection for Eurovision — includes boy bands, opera stars, balladeers and more. To help you make sense of all that fabulous, the Wiwi Jury — our in-house team of music unprofessionals — will rate the songs in each of the three upcoming heats. Our jurors will review each of the 18 acts assign them a score from 0 to 10. The scores will then be averaged for the Wiwi Jury Verdict.

You can click the name of each song to see the Wiwi Jury review for that song once it goes live. You can also click on the name of the artist to read or watch an interview with them whenever that is available on the website.
