FINLAND 2012 - Pernilla - När jag blundar

[TheLuflee]

The dress is going to be an important aspect of the performance, is she keeping the dancer or not?

Nope. She will be alone on the stage with her cellist (Heikki Takkula).

Oh nice, with the right dress & staging this could be magic - she delivers the song so well!

Reporter: You've said it was your dream to participate in Eurovision. Are you not afraid it's going to stick to your career for the rest of your life?
Pernilla: No, this is a very, very good opportunity for any artist - (to represent your country in the Eurovision).

edit:
She plays womens league elite handball for Sjundeå IF?!! Did her team win the cup?

CRASH BOOM BANG!

Description about Pernilla's dress !

She says in the Finnishswedish radio interview (free translation):
Pernilla: The dress is green yes ... very big, nice ... naja, the dress is not that very "tjexi" , I guess, because the song is not like that either, being written to my mother and all.

She plays womens league elite handball for Sjundeå IF?!! Did her team win the cup?

They were the top team after the regular season, but lost in the semi-finals. She was 7th in scoring league-wide (average 5.8 goals/game).

OK, but the team plays the Finnish top series, right? I think it's pretty cool . She said she didn't have time for ESC promotion due to the handball finals. Didn't she go for a promotion tour anyway? Maybe because they lost?

 

[LalehForWD]

In the escchat Prediction Poll - Semi Final 1 (2012), it doesn't look good for Finland. Can we count on a 12p from Denmark and Iceland? I think she will need some promotion and cheering to make it to the final. I hate to see Pernilla left out.

Heja Pernilla!!

 

[lorens]

Heja Pernilla indeed! After listening to every entries this year I just respect our entry more and more - it is simple and original. Try to find that in other entries...

 

[Terence]

Okay so I just can't get into this song... it's nice enough & all, but I RESPECT the Finns for voting & keeping the song in Swedish (in English it would've been lost in the mix).

 

[TheLuflee]

"On the way to Baku! "

 

[Milos-BC]

This song is very simple......but it has something magical in it. I like it, and it creates some special feeling for me when I listen to it.

It isn't amazing but it's really good. I would love to see it in the final.

I can listen to this on repeat & not tire of it, such a beautiful entry!

Solid rehearsal. I expect a similar fate for Finland as they had in 2011. Qualifier but bottom 5 - 6 in the Finals.

 

[RainyWoods]

I feel I have not given this dear little song enough of my attention. Ive pretty much overlooked it despite enjoying each of the very few listens ive had of it. It's quite charming.

 

[swedish]

I hope it goes to the final. Then it will get my vote. Love it, sadly I do not think people that doesn't understand Swedish, will not like it as much.

 

[Terence]

Surprised as to how many people like this. This is in the shake up for qualifying now - the rehearsal went well, even though the song's not among my favourites

 

[daniels1000]

she suprised me today with rehearsal

 

[alca]

She had a good rehearsal! Go Pernilla!

 

[voteme]

Rehearsal was so beautiful, think the judges will love this & have a sneaking suspicion it's going to come across really rather magical on TV - also I'm thinking going after a rather generic ballad (which I like) won't be such a bad thing either...

 

[lorens]

The rehearsal was wonderful, and I just love that dress! Finally a great outfit after so many boring ones.
