February 22, 20187 yr Yeah that's def the weakest/borderline, no thanks. I can't decide between 'Monsters' and 'Domino'. I agree with Lex and I feel like 'Monsters' could definitely contend to win IF it all goes to plan, but one slight mistake and I feel it could cost it big time, espesh with judges. Whereas 'Domino' is a very safe top 5 smash regardless. A win, if nothing else stands out, similar to 'Running Scared' in 2011 (obvz with a stronger song - even if I do love RS myself). But the thing I know is it can't be 'Queens' --- Will this be public voted btw/is there gonna be a show for this? I'm intrigued to see how 'Monsters' comes off live.
February 22, 20187 yr Author I mean all three songs are 10/10 and I cannot wait for the album. Will this be public voted btw/is there gonna be a show for this? I'm intrigued to see how 'Monsters' comes off live. The Finnish public and an international jury will decide the entry on 3rd March on UMK, hosted by Krista Siegfrids and some guy, with Mel C already confirmed as a guest performer.

February 22, 20187 yr Just me who thinks Queens is awful? :lol: Seriosuly disappointed, it sounds like it would come 9th in a Belarus national final or something. I can't call it between Domino and Monsters, but I'd be more than happy with either. It'll come down to how each one is staged and comes across live I would imagine.
February 22, 20187 yr So, basically, it’s a two-horse between Monsters and Domino. I hope Monsters gets it, but Domino is surely jury catnip especially with that money note near the end. Queens is ok, but disappointing given the strength of the other two. Edited February 22, 20187 yr by ScottyEm
February 22, 20187 yr just had another listen to both Domino and Monsters. The latter still has a massive note at the end that could work well but not set up as cliche as Domino. I think it really depends on how Monsters is staged and how Saara keeps up in an uptempo song. Like others have said, Monsters has more potential to be a massive winner whereas Domino is not anything new but would be a safe bet. Either would be great but Monsters is still edging it for me - especially if this year is as ballad heavy as it looks to be (seems like every year now :() also maybe not much to go by - but the YouTube comments on all three videos are supporting Monsters fairly strongly.
February 22, 20187 yr after hearing the three potential entries i prefer 'monsters'. i don't remember how 'domino' goes and 'queens' is v weak (just listened to it again)... very catchy! -.- Edited February 22, 20187 yr by LUKΞ
February 22, 20187 yr monsters has got to win, a bop! wouldn't mind domino but monsters is a clear stand out.
February 23, 20187 yr Really really like all three of the tracks, I’m sure they’ll all do well actually! Agreed that only ‘Monsters’ really stands out as a winner. I love the campy musical vibe in ‘Queens’ and ‘Domino’ is a faultless power-ballad... Saara is the queen I never realised I needed in my life before The X Factor!
February 23, 20187 yr also maybe not much to go by - but the YouTube comments on all three videos are supporting Monsters fairly strongly. That's because the other two videos are quite cheap thrash tbh It seems to me that YLE wants Monsters to win, but I think Domino is a better song. Edited February 23, 20187 yr by SKOB
February 23, 20187 yr Monsters isn't just the best of the 3, it's the best pop song around in the world over the last couple of weeks. I enjoy a bit of hyperbole just cos I love it... :lol:
February 23, 20187 yr Monsters isn't just the best of the 3, it's the best pop song around in the world over the last couple of weeks. I genuinely agree with this, it gives me "Euphoria" vibes.
February 23, 20187 yr I genuinely agree with this, it gives me "Euphoria" vibes. Ever year I rely on THAT 11/10 track, I’ve managrd it the last three years (City Lights, If Love Was A Crime, Love Injected) and Monsters will easily continue that trend, it really is that brilliant.
February 24, 20187 yr I like Queens the most, but really don't mind which track gets the ticket, as they're all superb. The three songs make me want to buy a Saara Aalto album, and I say that as someone who gave up on X Factor yrs ago, so these three songs are the first I've seen/heard of her.
February 26, 20187 yr Author The stage outfits for each of Saara's songs for Saturday have been revealed!
February 28, 20187 yr Unibet have Monsters as the clear favourite at odds of 1/7! Queens a distant 2nd at 5/1.
February 28, 20187 yr Dominos costume looks better for Monsters thank god this is actually a figure skating competition
