Krista Siegfrids – Marry Me Arion – Lost Not the final running order though.
February 6, 201312 yr The running order is as follows: 1. Arion – Lost 2. Elina Orkoneva – He’s Not My Man 3. Lucy Was Driving – Dancing All Around the Universe 4. Krista Siegfrids – Marry Me 5. Last Panda – Saturday Night Forever 6. Mikael Saari – We Should Be Through 7. Great Wide North – Flags 8. Diandra – Colliding Into You Unlike most recent previous Finnish finals, there will be no super-final this year, and voting shall be made up of 50% televote and 50% jury vote. Read more here: http://escxtra.com/2013/02/running-order-a...dure-announced/ I haven't heard any of the songs apart from 'Colliding Into You' but I love that, so I really hope Diandra can win!
February 6, 201312 yr Hmm, that running order is fairly good for Diandra and presumably Arion - via opening the show with a bang. I'm still expecting and hoping for Arion to win - if it doesn't, well my BJSCLII entry is sorted. The other 'frontrunner' Mikael Saari has a good slot too although I don't know his song as well as the other two. I don't think anything else has a chance.
February 6, 201312 yr Just listened to Mikael's song and that is really good! I'd be happy with that winning too, but I still prefer Diandra! :wub:
February 9, 201312 yr OK, tonight. I'm quite scared for Arion/Mikael Saari, both of those are what I want to win but Diandra could go and take it with her underwhelming song. Does anyone know what time this is on and whether it's clashing with Melodifestivalen? Because this'll trump it.
February 9, 201312 yr Please, this is the best of what Finland has to offer (always good *.*) vs an underwhelming MF semi. The production may not be as good but as far as song quality goes... Now I just need to attempt the task of finding a stream.
February 9, 201312 yr Author I'll be with MF up until Erik & Tone then flipping to Finland. 'Marry Me' would make the best entry but Diandra would be the best out of what's realistic.
February 9, 201312 yr I would do that but Arion are on first and Mikael is on near the end. :/ Diandra wouldn't make a TERRIBLE entry, but it'd be more on the level of Da Da Dam than any of the numerous fantastic Finnish entries. Still, I've left it growing room.
February 9, 201312 yr I want to watch this, MF and MGP :drama: I think I'll be going for MF though just for the fact it's MF. Such a eurogai dilemma though :drama:
February 9, 201312 yr Author Well I'd only count about 4 fantastic Finnish entries but yaknow, different strokes for different folks and all that.
February 9, 201312 yr I think Marry Me will win, just because of the performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV5VOdBX2ns We have a quality final this year though, I'm glad!
February 9, 201312 yr Nar Jag Blundar >>>>>>>>> The only Finnish I really care for besides that are Da Da Dam and Leave Me Alone really, if I'm honest. Diandra would be a great entry but I'm disappointed with the song from who she is. Mikael Saari is good too though, and seems to be a realistic winner for now. I don't know though, we'll wait and see. Edited February 9, 201312 yr by Liаm
February 9, 201312 yr Lordi, Hanna, Terasbatoni (yes, I do claim this), Waldo's People, Kuunikuiskijat, Pernilla - a 6/7 hit rate since I've bothered listening is among the best of any country - and Da Da Dam isn't that bad, just a little too twee. I'm scared of listening prior to Lordi in case I shatter the image of my favourite country but I should at least try 2000-2005 sometime soon I guess.

February 9, 201312 yr Ok, Bomfunk MCs being Finnish passed me by. SARATON HEAVI-LA... here comes Arion! *.* (and calls for my death due to contrarianism)
February 9, 201312 yr The lead singer really doesn't look comfortable on stage. Good vocals (although a couple of slip-ups) but I don't think that's the performance they needed. :( If they do get it, they are really going to need to work on that.
February 9, 201312 yr Ok, fairly well sung singer-songwriter song from Elina and a bouncy soft rock song from Lucy Was Driving but we clearly don't have a winner so far. Nothing abysmal though. Success.
February 9, 201312 yr Marry Me had completely passed me by before, that's a fairly strong (if ridiculous) pop song. Could be a contender.
February 9, 201312 yr Mikael Saari was GOOD. I think he should be in with a very good chance of taking the top spot. no, I'm not feeling lonely, why'd you ask?
