I really try to avoid NF season because it just ends in disappointment but I'm here to announce that if Ciccolina doesn't win I will be absolutely livid.

Finland, our dear eastern neighbours in the north, you have to send the awesome Eurodance-Schlager 'Cicciolina' to Rotterdam, if so it will for sure be one of my top favs this year!

 

[tuorem]

"Cicciolina" remains anthemic even in a piano ballad version. Who would have thought?

I think her vocals are nice, it's just the sound of the video that isn't the best.

The story behind Eternity

THIS IS HOW I GOT INTO UMK 2020 - CATHARINA ZÜHLKE

Hello my friends! I wanted to share my video I used to pitch my song to UMK 2020! There's still a long road ahead to Rotterdam so thank you for supporting me...

Like all of the truly iconic schlager hits, Cicciolina has received a metal cover version. A blessing today.

Erika created millions of gays with her iconic hit Cicciolina, which is beyond UMK, beyond Eurovision, beyond our comprehension of the universe.

A pop star is born, we gotta worship and give her all our money.

Stefani Germanotta is quaking, Ariana Grande is shaking. Their names will be forgotten like dust in the wind, once Erika announces her world tour dates and confirms her appearance at halftime performance at the Super Bowl.

 

[Uto]

Erika created millions of gays ...

There were no gays created, I can tell you that.

If only someone told me 5 years ago that I'd love a song about a 60yo Italian, who looks like drag queen wreck of a pornstar and was so popular that she got to do politics, sang in Finnish....

By the way, was there any gay porn star so famous that they became politics afterwards? I mean, I'd vote for that.

I bet it was these nuns listening:

and nuns.

I bet it was these nuns listening:

I am the nun in grey at 0:12 and I can confirm that this techno music is processed onto the video afterwards and in the original version we were dancing to Sofi Marinova’s ritualistic hit Love Unlimited, we never felt closer to God...

 

[Sammy]

This song makes me wanna learn Finnish!

About the staging:

I would love to see Erika enter the stage from a swing in the air, while the "intro instrumental" is playing loudly in the arena, then she lands on stage in her swing, where 2 hot female dancers will join her and they will do a hot and cool choreography

I don't know. I actually was hoping she would just do what she does in the lyric video. Just make love to the camera with your eyes. Whatever they do, they need to keep it small and clear. Song is pretty condensed, it doesn't need expansiveness. A cool set piece to kick things off is fine of course.
