Isn't Robin just going to win this anyway? Lol.

I think so, juries will love his song probably and since he's a very popular singer he's probably getting high televote score and winning the NF, but who knows, so far we had quite some surprises this NF season

I think Lxandra has a very good change to win jury votes. However is it enough to win the whole thing, because juries are 25% and televotes 75%.

Why do u think juries will probably love it?

If we assume juries look for - lets call it - "Artistic value" Lxandra should rather be their pick (but i dont think juries really work like that tbh)

 

[jatojo]

My current top 4 is: Benjamin 1st, then Keira, Robin, Lxandra.

 

[Gwendal]

Really enjoy Lxandra, but i'm afraid it's not enough impactful, especially when televote counts much more than juries. If Norma John didn't make the cut, I fear Lxandra can not either.

Right now: Benjamin > Lxandra >> Keira >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Robin

Well 1st of all the name

Then the song is very well produced

And also it's some kind of jury magnet song, well produced basic pop song sang by famous singer

 

[Looren]

Just listened to Lxandra

I really like it, very good ballad !

I think it'll do well in jury votes, not sure about televote tho

When NikkieTutorials shows up in Finland to launch the Benjamin win

 

[njdevils94]

Everyone knows deep down Robin is winning. This is basically an internal selection for him disguised as a national final. I've seen many fan blogs go out of their way to not say anything negative about Girls Like You despite being a very meh entry.

Hopefully I'm wrong but seems doubtful.

 

[Sammy]

The first time I listened to Lxandra, I thought it was quite boring and I caught myself doing other stuff after a minute or so. Today I relistened to it - mainly because it got so much praise here. I can understand why people like it, it has a beautiful melody and there are nice changes throughout the song. So definitely a big grower after only two listenings. I‘m curious where his will end up in my ranking.

I also hope, that Robin won't win, because of his name. Keira is right now my winner and I hopea, her stage and live performance is great. But I won't be mad, If Benjamin or Lxandra.

Still Käärijä, Kuuma and Portion Boys' songs are coming. Especially I am waiting for Käärijä and Portion Boys' songs.

And also it's some kind of jury magnet song, well produced basic pop song sang by famous singer

Hm i never thought what u just described sounded like a "Jury magnet"

Well change the "famous singer" by "cute boy" and you see songs like Ingrosso's one or Lake Malawi were strong in juries, and these were just some well produced basic pop song sang by some cute singer (even if I liked Lake Malawi tbh)

Nooooo! I'm not having "Friend of a Friend" described as "basic" (even though I think you meant it more as simple and not a criticism.) That song was pop perfection and a clear example of the juries getting it right, the televoters getting it wrong, and another excellent song being stupidly put 3rd in the final running order (see Hvala Ne! and Saudade, saudade for further examples.) With the odd exception, 3rd place in the running order (semi or final) is now reserved for Goddesses (see Manizha, Monika Liu, Konstrakta) and perhaps Gods too if they're lucky.

Sorry, got off topic there!

Yeah no don't worry, I don't think "basic" is a bad thing per se, there can be very good basic/simple songs
