Finland FINLAND 2021 - Blind Channel - Dark Side

[escYOUnited]

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side

Every psycho in the scene
Hands up and follow me saying (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Empire of the freaks, all drinks on me

Just another night in my pitch black paradise
Don't wanna cry, so I gotta get paralyzed
My body is my weapon, so I keep it loaded
'Til I'm all over the place like my head exploded
Don't waste your prayers, they can't save us
Lifestyles of the sick and dangerous

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Likе the 27 Club, headshot
We don't wanna grow up
I'm, I'm, I'm living that lifе on the dark side
Life on the dark side

Every psycho in the scene
Hands up and follow me saying (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Empire of the freaks, all drinks on me

I'm in a cave of man-made misery
Digging a grave for myself and my enemies
Of all the dark things that keep me wasted
You're the sweetest I've ever tasted

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Like the 27 Club, headshot
We don't wanna grow up
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Life on the dark side

Just another night in my pitch black paradise
Don't wanna cry so I gotta get paralyzed
Don't waste your prayers, they can't save us
Lifestyles of the sick and dangerous

Put your middle fingers up
Take a shot, throw it up and don't stop
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Like the 27 Club, headshot
We don't wanna grow up
I'm, I'm, I'm living that life on the dark side
Life on the dark side

I guess the largest points of Spanish jury will go to the ballads (Ilta, Oskr, Aksel (not in the order).

Tomorrow are so many NFs, but I will concentrate on UMK and keep all my fingers and toes crossed for BC. I truly hope that they will make it. This would be my biggest disappointment this NF season if another act would go to Rotterdam. I could still live with Ilta, but everybody else, please no.

 

[heke1988]

Based on Mikko Silvennoinen total vote points will be 1176: Juries total vote points 294 and televotes total vote points 882. My guess is, winner will have total vote points between 450-550.

Interesting, why do you think it’ll be like that. Do we already know the Spanish jury members?

Last year Spain gave 12 to Cicciolina (the only ones along with the UK), 8 to Bananas, 6 to Lover view ... only 4 to Looking back.
In fact, they were the least ballad orientated among the international juries.

I hope that the juries will give to Aksel a confortable lead before the televote

This time that wouldn't help him.

 

[rasmuslights]

This time that wouldn't help him.

note that there was only 5 point difference in the televote, and 18 points in the jury vote, that means that even if the juries counted only 25 % he would've still won. And Cicciolina is still a big hit in Finland, I doubt BC will do the same.. we should be open to everything

But this time there is Teflon Brothers, which has huge fan base in here. Also Danny will get some televote points, because some people will vote for him because of joke/fun.

Blind Channel or Teflon Brothers feat Pandora will be number one in televote points. Then Ilta/Aksel/Danny. Oskr will be sixth and Laura will be in last place on televotes.

It would when he gets top 3 in the televote again at least.

No, because max. points, which one contestant can get with jury points, is 84.

You wanna Get Loud? Or maybe go on Supersonic trip to Verona! Just hit Play and you will see small talk with Laura Poldvere, experienced Eurovision star!

Okay from Rehearsals Oskr and Blind Channel impressed me....
Vocally ofourse...

 

[lavieenrose]

I have been reduced to a puddle of laughter at Laura straddling a giant gold-plated chess piece.

 

[heke1988]

Teflon Brothers are aliens?

 

[Mrm]

Somebody understand what is Laura singing? One word at least?
It sounds like Swahili to me...

 

[njdevils94]

I really hope Finland brings more interesting up-tempo songs next year because these ones were not it. Still expecting Aksel to win finishing top 2 in both categories. Plenty of sympathy votes will be coming his way and it doesn't hurt that it's a very solid song. It would be amazing for Ilta to win but I don't see juries completely going for it. The other option then seems to be Blind Channel. Looks like it will be quite the stage show but the questionable lyrics put me off a bit. Teflon Brothers x Pandora seem to have a fun staging but that chorus is really bad. Laura seems to be her just to promote her song and Oskr doesn't have the charisma to pull off a victory I don't think. Finally we come to Danny. Can he upset the odds? Probably not but he could finish higher than people expect with his timely ballad.

UMK 2021 Rankings (pre-show)
1. Ilta - Kelle mä soitan
2. Aksel Kankaanranta - Hurt
3. Oskr - Lie
4. Blind Channel - Dark Side
5. Danny - Sinä päivänä kun kaikki rakastaa mua
6. Laura - Play
7. Teflon Brothers x Pandora - I Love You

You know what scares me to death?
The fact, atm, I don't care for other snippets from this recap but Laura..

 

[lavieenrose]

Sorry to keep harping on this but I truly cannot get over Laura's staging. She really said
