Serbia is really saving us. If Cicciolina doesn't win, Hurricane will have a huge advantage.

At this moment, they have the best stage presence!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

I almost forgot our dear Samanta!!!! Shame on me!

 

[Kitakaze]

Oh dear, can’t deny the snippet triggers some alarm bells. Think we can assume she won’t be winning the jury vote. Please say she’s planning to wear the garland headdress and is saving it for the show.

Finland.... Just choose Erika internally. Or you will be arrested for murder, when my body is found dead, in case Cicciolina isn't your entry by Saturday night!

If Erika doesn't win I'll walk out into the forest and let the bears eat me.

 

[Ezio]

Cicciolina is really fun and camp, but Finland please, get your act together and get the fuck out of the trash department, that you're stuck in since 2013. Notable exceptions 2014, 2017 of course.

Finland aims to be everyone's guilty pleasure every year, but that doesn't cut it.

If the Nordics were a family, then Sweden is the polished queen who knows what she is doing, Norway is the jealous and overambitious sister, Denmark is lazy sister that doesn't even really try and Finland is the crazy draamaa queen.

If Erika doesn't win I'll walk out into the forest and let the bears eat me.

Me too!

Me worried about the juries around me:

@Kitakaze please don't be right

 

[EscGeek]

Same top 6 as before, but since it's the end of the season i'll add colors:

1-F3M "Bananas"
2-Erika Vikman "Cicciolina"
3-Tika "I Let My Heart Break"
4-Sansa "Lover View"
5-Catharina Zühlke "Eternity"
6-Aksel Kankaanranta "Looking Back"

Take it from someone who didn't care much for "Majakad" or "Draama" from a few years ago: - "Cicciolina" truly is something special. (I bet it's the sex appeal that made the diffeence for me )

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Let's be honest.

"Cicciolina" will definately win the televote. She has 1,5 millions streams on Spotify and 1,2 on youtube. The others have less than 250K.

"Cicciolina" will definately NOT win the juries. I'll be so surprised, if it does.

So it all depends on the televote 2-6 places and juries 2-6 places.

Let's hope juries put "Cicciolina" in top 3 at least.

Let's hope televote put Aksel and TIKA in bottom 3.

My fingers are crossed, dear Cicciolinas

 

[RainyWoods]

Cicciolina looks likely to win the televote, yes, but it's going to depend entirely on how they combine the votes tonight and the fact of whether she'll be able to keep up with the jury. Aksel I feel will come 2nd with the televote, and his song seems like quite an obvious jury favourite. They only need to place a random lady ballad into that 2nd place and then Erika would have lost. My gut tells me this goes very wrong tonight, and I think (hope) I'm prepared for it. I have thought this since the reveal of the songs anyway. The Cicciolina hype has been a wonderful surprise but is a song like it really going to win an NF? None of my other similar favourites in the past have managed to.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Erika and "Cicciolina" is already going viral in Finland, like for real!!

I just hope the rest of Europe will get the same experience. Not just Europe, but Erika too, because she really derserves it

You forgot Iceland on your list.

 

[gingerale]

You forgot Iceland on your list.

Because she is the one sister living in an asylum.

 

[Mrm]

 

[NikolaiMoller]

OMFG

@Mrm are you trying to kill me?

 

[shameless]

Do we have an international jury tonight? Because then year, Cicciolina will have a hard time for obvious reasons otherwise I fail to see how people really sacrifice an obvious top 3 tellyvote in the FINAL for a plain ballad by a boring chub. I won't see any NF live tonight and am sooo terrified to read that "Finland sends Aksel to Rotterdam"

Oh, we most certainly do have an international jury. Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Russia and the United Kingdom will be there tonight.

From the rehearsal clips I think Tika is way more of a threat than Aksel with both the jury and the televote (she even has the VOTE FOR ME pyro curtain)

That's odd. In Finland the pyro curtain is seen as an embarrassing cliché, so the response to that has been ... not enthusiastic.
I think, in general, Finland likes Aksel more than Tika. So I expect him to win if Erika fouls it up like it's her job.
