I saw Aksel from a couple of years ago has a new single out so waas worried he'd be doing an Ulrikke.

 

[ADONK5]

Robin Packalen has some other good stuff; I was disappointed when someone else got to him in ASFM first.

This is a banger:

 

[OutSynk]

When can we hear the songs @Finland?

 

[ButterTart]

Portion Boys

I fucking love these. They're VERY #fun4butters

 

[OutSynk]

I fucking love these. They're VERY #fun4butters

I figured.

 

[auretz]

Benjamin Peltonen

 

[OutSynk]

Didn't realize that's HIM.

 

[ADONK5]

Oh, I've had ASFM stuff lined up for him too.

 

[Jacques]

Is ASFM now more twinky? Maybe I should make a return.

I've wanted Robin and Benjamin in this for years so if it's true that they're both in, in the same year, I really don't know what I'm going to do with myself!

Finland unveils sensational 7 competing in UMK23

The seven finalists of Finland’s UMK have been announced: Keira, Benjamin, Robin Packalen, Lxandra, Käärijä, KUUMAA, and Portion Boys.

eurovision.tv

All names are known apart from Keira Lundström.

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

Keira’s song in the first post. A good Britney album track, I feel.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Swing it like Harry Potter??

 

[OutSynk]

Made it about halfway through.

 

[Kaleen]

Oh that’s pretty good. The drop is quite interesting. She has Kadiatou vibes but let’s hope she’s better live. Don’t see it as a winner with the other names in the competition but it will raise her profile in Finland which is what she’s hoping for.

 

[ADONK5]

Benjamin's song is out now:

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Hoida mut is HOT

What a tasty little selection this is shaping up to be already!

 

[Apo-KANT!]

A delightful 80s romp.

EI HUONO

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Also WHAT an opening lyric

It's not your first time in here
or the first time our eyes happen to meet...

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

OMG at the translation of Hoida mut being 'JUST DO ME'

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

It's like an ELEVATED MIDNIGHT BOY!

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

The ‘I’M JUST A HOLE SIR’ energy!

 

[Kaleen]

This is good. It's this year's Ram pam pam I think. Will be a big local hit, but I don't see it at Eurovision.

 

[wildchild]

OMG at the translation of Hoida mut being 'JUST DO ME'

when I saw the title, I was hoping he means ”heal me” but now that I hear all the lyrics, it’s definitely ”do me”. Trivia: his boyfriend will be on the new season of Master Chef Finland

 

[OutSynk]

OMG at the translation of Hoida mut being 'JUST DO ME'

So it does in the subtitles. Google translate gives hold me/take care of me which is also what I'd assume if I compare it to Estonian.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

What a fun language that the same words can mean either ‘heal me’ or ‘DO ME’. Must lead to all kind of wacky mix-ups at the hospital.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

I fucking LOVE how racy the lyrics are

"You're wearing a fishnet top, and I just want a chance to rip it off... because you don't need it on."

QUEEN!

 

[wildchild]

He’s also singing how he’s bored of ”just my hands”. It’s quite raunchy

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I’m tentatively describing myself as HERE for this clearly CUM HUNGRY TWINK.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

It's immediately my favourite of the season so far!

 

[Kaleen]

It's immediately my favourite of the season so far!

Poor Agoney

Photographs of the boyfriend PLEASE

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Benjamin's song is out now:

@Sheena get in here

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

“Rip it off cause you don’t need it on”?

FUCK ME, DOUZE POINTS!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Omg, obsessed with the gay disco greenhouse.

And what a BOP to BOOT.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

HOIDA MUT!

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Ending all my conversations from now on by shouting “JUST DO ME” and promptly walking away.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Ending all my conversations from now on by shouting “JUST DO ME” and promptly walking away.

So what exactly will change?

 

[KNT]

Everyone join my prayer circle to manifest Finland electing the twink possessed by the ghost of Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy to Eurovision.

 

[Apo-KANT!]

DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO, FINLAND
