Paskana is a really good track, I can see why the Finns have taken to it already. I don't know that it's the sort of song that would get out of midtable area at Eurovision, but it's got a great melody and is well produced (the production, especially towards the end, gives me more modern All The Things She Said vibes). Would be a very solid successor to Cha Cha Cha.

Kuori mua is the best song on here but I see that it’s getting beat in the polls by that Windows 95 thing and while I don’t think it’s a bad song by any means I just think that’s sad

I am starting to believe 'Paskana' could do really well at Eurovision, could potentially be one of those foreign language songs that really cross over, I don't think it'd get lost necessarily.
Definitely seems like it'd be a shock to get anything else winning tonight due to the odds and I'm hearing promising things from the performance although in the warm-up jury show it seems that Windows95man won the audience poll - but Sara was close behind. |

It's on now. Kuori mua didn't come across very well on stage sadly.

Not watching this year due to heading out for a mates birthday but I’m hoping that Windows95Man doesn’t win. That’s absolutely the wrong step for Finland to make I think. It’s a decent enough track but I don’t think the right thing to follow up ChaChaCha. Although anything will have an extremely tough task following up that

Definitely wanting either Cyan Kicks or Sara after that, poor Sini but I don't feel she has a chance. Agreed, 'No Rules' would just feel like a bit of a step backward.

No Rules was hands down the best on stage, but rooting for Sara regardless.

I am declaring myself pro-Windows95man and I regret nothing!

I... can see it sort of working but I'm hesitant. It's very much a party track of yesteryear, the sort that gets high odds and expectations but doesn't really live up to them.
plus if he can't get those Windows 95 logos on the Eurovision stage that dogs it too. |

I like the song, not totally mad it won since I knew Kuori Mua had no chance, but I’m kind of baffled as I really thought Paskana would win and I do think it’s possibly a mistake for Finland here to pass up a safe but very good song that would do well for this.

I think it could go either way but I’m inclined to agree I think it will get some hype and have vocal support but I don’t think it will live up to what’s set for it. It’s the kind of thing that will come like low top 20 or just outside I feel. |

The worst song in the NF. I hope they fail to qualify and it teaches Finland a lesson whilst the Swedes laugh on.

Oops, not sure this is a good choice. Paskana is brilliant and this feels like an attempt to emulate last year but not really understanding the brief.
It's a catchy and quite good song, but Finland had the chance not to typecast themselves, and even though it's nothing like Cha Cha Cha, it feels like it's trying to capture a similar vibe and I just don't see lightning striking twice for them. It doesn't press the same buttons really. |

Paskana did well with juries but fell a bit flat on televote and the same would have happened in the ESC had it won today. I like it but that performance had no winning quality in it.
