Her ozempic era

 

[Lucille]

Finland really is overdue an act with a pair of TITS.

 

[VoR]

The lineup this year is six female-fronted acts and a comedy heavy metal group.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

 

[Lucille]

 

[VoR]

Slight amend - five women, one twink and the band.

 

[Lucille]

I hope the twink gives us BENJAMIN levels of smut.

JUST DO ME!

 

[wildchild]

The lineup this year is six female-fronted acts and a comedy heavy metal group.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Oh fuck my life Just send the heavy metal group already.

 

[wildchild]

By the way I LOVE Viivi. Not sure if she has international appeal but some of you could enjoy her album.

 

[D5K]

I've been a fan of Neea River for a while too so have high hopes for her.

 

[OutSynk]

I've been a fan of Neea River for a while too so have high hopes for her.

She’s awful. I've always thought she was AI but I guess I'm about to be proven wrong.

 

[Ill Advised]

 

[Kratz]

The lineup this year is six female-fronted acts and a comedy heavy metal group.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Well quite, we already know which one is winning.

 

[Penelope]

Well quite, we already know which one is winning.

ERIKA

 

[Kratz]

ERIKA

It’s Finland! The stupidest one ALWAYS wins.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I hope they are finally over their novelty/Käärijä phase.

 

[VoR]

Nightmares is giving KEiiNO. Solid start

 

[Dark Carnival]

The lineup this year is six female-fronted acts and a comedy heavy metal group.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Oh.

 

[Penelope]

Fabulously uncompetitive load of old toot

 

[Ill Advised]

 

[Ill Advised]

Two fantastic songs to start

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Pingu]

It’s nice…

 

[Penelope]

Two for two on bangers

 

[wildchild]

At least we’re not sending Windows95man this year

 

[VoR]

The Nelli Matula track seems to be doing very well on Finnish Spotify.

 

[Penelope]

How well?

 

[Soldi]

How well?

Very well.

 

[VoR]

How well?

#2 for two consecutive days so far.

NEAA RIVER has gone 6-7-9

 

[VoR]

Entry #3



No HOIDA MUT, but quite good.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I can't stop playing this, to the point where I worry my loyalty to Erika Vikman will be tested

 

[Penelope]

God I am so ready to be not myself tonight to Erika on Friday

 

[OutSynk]

a comedy heavy metal group

God I hope this wins.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I do hope this the only DREARY BALLAD

 

[VoR]

Erm... that's brilliant! I'm still rooting for Erika, but that's an incredibly strong alternate.

 

[Penelope]

The last minute of that is terrific!

Not a bad song at all so far. The Finns have really hit it out of the park on how to make a solidly top tier mid-size NF over the last few years.

 

[Pingu]

Literally my only thought across the entire 3 minute running time was what VoR catnip it is and well look at that.

 

[Dark Carnival]

So far:

Nightmares
The twink
The BALLID
The other one
