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

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

Major Laura Kong reporting for duty

 

[LoveHate]

Laura mumbling at the start.

 

[BorisBubbles]

YOU SHOULD PRAY PRAY PRAY ALL THE GAY AWAY

 

[JChan]

I think they spent more on that chess piece than the entire song

 

[heke1988]

Nah, no for Laura.

 

[escFinn]

running order

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

 

[Morty]

Not bad. Top 3 for me.

 

[mauve]

Nah ...forgettable

 

[lavieenrose]

Laura could really make anything sound compelling, but she's REALLY testing the "anything" with that. Staging is great, Laura is great, song is not.

 

[heke1988]

Awkward bears at screen.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

 

[LoveHate]

Not bad. Top 3 for me.

Out of the songs so far? I agree.

 

[crashworld]

Laura's staging is really good. But her vocals are questionable at times. And she seems like she is chewing her words when she sings. And I hate she tried to do those vocal runs/ad-libs. They sound so out of place.

 

[RainyWoods]

I burst into laughter the moment I saw Laura sitting on that chess piece. Fabulous. Sadly the staging didn't save the song. It's just too middling and even Laura herself somehow seemed disinterested.

 

[cegs5]

Even with that bland song and performance Laura managed to outperform Aksel.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

ERIKA'S BEARS GETTING THE SPOTLIGHT

 

[Sammy]

I wonder where the bear story is leading us to...

 

[lavieenrose]

Is this just a tribute to Erika Vikman's bacon dansers [sic]? I'm so in

 

[Morty]

Out of the songs so far? I agree.

No, in this final. But it's not really that close to the top 2, they're in a different league (BC and TB+P)

 

[Sammy]

Erika seems to be more present than ANY other contestant without even competing.
