Position 10: Club La Persé - My Little World:
For me this is a very strange and disturbing song. I would not like to say that I am really looking on the persons behind the song but the whole occurence of the band is so creepy!
The song itselves is not a well entry which is competetive in a show like Eurovision. The lyrics are not working with the melody of the song, the harmony is not as good as it is in other songs of the competition. But as we have learned in Finland in the last years, never say never... (e.g. PKN - Aina mun pitää) Maybe we can notice that Finnish people like an other way to perform and of course, this is somethink special...trust me!

Position 9: Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri - La Rubies - Caveman:
Well, the last song was only bad and has got no positive arguments for me but the Caveman is entertaining. It is nothing good too but it shows again the special type of music which Finland seems to love. The lyrics are annoying and it is much harder if you understand German because the "Wunderbar" is not funny, it is really annoying as I have said it! The whole song works more as a title song for a bad parody for "Rocky" than for a serious TV-Show like Eurovision or UMK. I think this song will fail if it does not work with the staging in the moment of performing because it is the only chance to remain in memory.

Position 8: My First Band - Paradise:
It is very charming that YLE, the Finnish broadcaster, hopes that a band might bring the old souccess back but not with this song. Paradise looks so sweet and sounds so tropical, only the name, but it is not a real paradise because of some different reasons. Firstly I felt no power when I was hearing the song at the first time. The refrain was to mediocre and the lyrics are to simple to make it powerful. Second- and finally these band is not looking like a boyband. I miss the characters of the persons on stage where little Finnish girls might can say "Oh, he is so sweet! I will vote for him!" It is a bandproject but they are out of the age where you can get votes with your age, so it might be a difficult situation whlie they have to get votes...

Position 7: Anni Saikku - Reach Out For The Sun:
I am very disappointed about the fact that I have to list this well song in these position.
All things seems to be perfect: The girl looks beautiful, the songs sounds nice, the music video is fine but where is the power of the song?! It builds up so well uo to the moment where the refrain is starting and I am thinking: Why?! The moment where the sun have to reach out does not come and this makes me feel so sad about it. The song cannot take me away into an other world because it sounds a bit powerless and exhausting for Anni. I am so sorry but there are too many good songs this year which might work better on stage than this one...

Position 6: Lauri Yrjöla - Helppo elämä:
There are not so many bad sights on this song because there is a good uptempo feeling which gives the song a chance to beeing alive. Probally it is the different style of the lyrics which makes the song a bit more memorable. These mix of Finnish and English is well chosen because you sometimes can know what he is singing about but (if you are not speaking Finnish) you can only listen to the music. I have at this point to mark that there is a chance that you might lost the connection to the song in these parts because you did not understand a word but if you are open for the music, you might feel the song and like it. Thats the reason why it placed only on my 6th place because it is very difficault to say a clear position for this special, bilingual song...but the beat drops are at least very good :-)
