Both Keira and Benjamin are good ohmy.gif This is probably going to be the strongest UMK to date and probably also best NS this season so far

As a Finn, the selection is very underwhelming so far. Cannot see any of the songs becoming domestic hit let alone doing well in the ESC.

Robin and Lxandra don't quite measure up to the fabulousness of dark hypersexual queer Finnish electropop for me but both are good additions to the lineup.

Are you team first half or second half?

That is extremely catchy, can't even be mad if it beats Benjamin although I'd still love him to win due to wanting him and Robin in UMK for years.

I love Cha Cha Cha HOWEVER the middle part sounds like a complete rip-off of 00s Basshunter.

What a banger it would make a great gym song *adds to playlist*.

He is a serious tough boxer but when he drinks a Pina Colada he lets loose and starts dancing.

Käärijä is by far the most interesting song so far. Not good enough to get my vote, but entertaining.

Cha Cha Cha is my favourite, BANGER *.*

Could see this going viral on TikTok and being a hit, it's so intense. Not sure how juries at Eurovision would take it but I think it would do very well on the televote. I hope Finland take a chance on it.

The whole selection is really solid though!

3. Something to Lose (9/10)
4. No Business on the Dancefloor (8/10)
5. Ylivoimainen (6/10)
6. Girls Like You (5/10)
7. Samaa taivasta katsotaan (4/10)

Top 5 rating: 8.2/10

EDIT: Cha Cha Cha and Something to Lose moved up

I could see Cha Cha Cha become my number 1 as I only just had it down on my playlist.
