Blackbird is like a song Sarah McLachlan rejected in 1998, yet it’s still probably the best of the lot!

Early Spotify numbers have My First Band clearly ahead, with Emma in second - my favourite two so that bodes well so far! I imagine Emma will be much more loved by the juries than My First Band will be also.

The running order is allegedly
1. Emma: Circle Of Light 2. Alva: Arrows 3. Günther & D’Sanz: Love Yourself 4. Anni Saikku: Reach Out For The Sun 5. Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri-La Rubies: Caveman 6. Norma John: Blackbird 7. Lauri Yrjölä: Helppo elämä 8. Club La Persé: My Little World 9. Zühlke: Perfect Villain 10. My First Band: Paradise This seems like Emma (i.e. the only good song in this mix) has a bad draw but people have won from first on in Finland before so it's not impossible. Still mildly annoyed at the My First Band pimping though. |

This is now 95% certain to go the way of DMGP 2015/16 but at least My First Band is better than the two Danish boyband winners.

Panic averted for the time being, Emma is dominating the voting so far (and this all counts to the final score) with My First Band in 2nd place! Full details here:

I'm certain it is a two-horse race now, surely you prefer Emma over My First Band!!

Having listened quickly to them all, I think Emma is my favourite but she does come across quite Poundland Greta Salome
 Not a great crop this year. My First Band indeed, what an apt name :/

QUOTE(Ryan. @ Jan 26 2017, 06:55 PM)  I'm certain it is a two-horse race now, surely you prefer Emma over My First Band!! Of course! Emma is my third fave whilst the only song that's worse than My First Band is that Caveman bollocks. |

I like Emma and My First Band so would be satisfied with either, but I wish "Paradise" had a bit more oomph / flow between the chorus which I really like and the verses which are letting it down.

TONIGHT'S NATIONAL FINAL... FINLAND  Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 28th January 2017 Begins at 7pm in the UK, 8pm Central European Time or 9pm in Finland. Programme is scheduled to last 2 hours 15 minutes. Watch the selection via the official YLE website. Running Order 01 | Emma - Circle Of Light 02 | Alva - Arrows 03 | Günther & D'Sanz - Love Yourself 04 | Anni Saikku - Reach Out For The Sun 05 | Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri-La Rubies - Caveman 06 | Norma John - Blackbird 07 | Lauri Yrjölä - Helppo elämä 08 | Club La Persé - My Little World 09 | Zühlke - Perfect Villain 10 | My First Band - Paradise Voting The voting will be a 50/50% split between an international jury and the televote. The countries represented in the international jury will be Estonia, France, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The overall televote will be a combination of online votes cast throughout this month as well as votes cast online and via phones during the show itself. The current vote standings can be seen here. The Favourites It is widely predicted this will be a race between two acts. Unibet have Emma as 1/2 favourite. She has been odds-on favourite for weeks but has lost momentum in the final few days, although the fact she is currently winning the online vote which counts to the final vote will be a positive for her. Emma is now closely followed by My First Band at odds of 2/1. The boyband have arguably the biggest fanbase and label behind them and have also been awarded the final running order slot, they have also been winning votes cast by juries in various preview shows aired by YLE. Nevertheless, they do have a deficit to catch up in the televote as things stand. Unibet have Norma John as the only other possible winner at odds of 7/2, everyone else is 8/1 or worse. Do watch out for Zühlke who currently stands at 3rd in the televoting and has been drawn in the penultimate slot. |

This year is awful from Finnish point of view. Whatever song wins it'll have zero chance to reach the big final

It seems William wiwibloggs is the UK jury spokesperson and presumably part of the UK jury too, and he's an a Emma fan

Most probably going to be better than most of the songs in this final, but that's the best start I can remember for the UMK's I've watched (not that I have a particularly strong memory of most of them).

She went a bit off time at one point but it was a strong finish. It's certainly the best of the 'serious' entries.
