I have seen the Finnish Final of Eurovision Song Contest 31st of January! What about it? Yes, Finland seems to live and breath hard rock nowadays. I was a bit afraid that Finland would send hard rock to the Eurovision Song Contest for the third time.<\/p>\n
The evening began with a second chance, with songs that had not qualified to the final.\u00a02 of them with most votes went to the final to compete with 6 other songs. Later in the evening there was a Super Final for the 3 most voted songs.<\/p>\n
What do I say about the songs in the final? Yes, I say that I sent 2 great songs to the competition but the answer\u00a0was no. I hope my visitors don’t mind\u00a0when I say that I think that my songs\u00a0are better than some of the songs in the\u00a0 Finnish final:) Better luck for me next time!<\/p>\n
Maybe the right song, the song with a great melody, was not there, but I got a favorite anyway among the songs. It was Waldo’s People. There was so much self confidence in there number and the most important thing: There was a superb female vocalist with a really great voice on high notes. I think the chorus was catchy, too.<\/p>\n
Waldo\u00b4s People\u00a0became one of the groups in the Super Final.<\/p>\n
Another group in the Super Final was Signmark. It was hip hop, a lot of joy\u00a0there, and the thing that was special and new was that a deaf artist\u00a0 expressed the lyrics with sign language. It was great. He was an important member in their number.<\/p>\n
The third group was\u00a0Passworks. The thing I did not\u00a0understand was the\u00a0huge silver Christmas star or snow flake on\u00a0the female vocalist’s\u00a0back. What\u00a0had that thing to do with their song Surrender?! It would be interesting to hear the female\u00a0vocalist when she\u00a0does not\u00a0have a sore of her throat. The male vocalist was great and carried his parts great. I\u00a0really\u00a0did hope\u00a0that\u00a0Finland would not\u00a0send\u00a0hard rock to the ESC again, this song was not the best of these three.<\/p>\n
The group that won was Waldo\u00b4s People although Signmark got very much votes, too!\u00a0I’ll be glad\u00a0to hear their Lose control on the semifinal and hopefully\u00a0in the final, too. I had never heard of\u00a0the group\u00a0but they said that they were\u00a0the one among the groups\u00a0\u00a0with the biggest career going on abroad\u00a0these days.<\/p>\n
I wish them good luck!<\/p>\n
