I've just searched for some more Hungarian entries and with success! I've now found 19 of them (was 6 before today). Karcolás remains to be my favourite
Finland had its first heat a few days ago. One contestant was sent home (Lili Lambert), SoftEngine qualified for the final and the rest went to the semis. I've only had time to listen to those now, so here's my ranking for: UMK Heat 1 Dennis Fagerström - My Little Honey Bee Jasmin Michaela - Kertäkäyttösydän Hukka ja Mama - Selja Lili Lambert - Let Me Take You There SoftEngine - Something Better MIAU - God/Drug
Time for UMK's 2nd heat! Hanna Sky qualified for the final, MAKEA went home and the rest needs a semifinal! UMK Heat 2 Mikko Pohjola - Sängyn Reunalla Clarissa ft. Josh - On Top Of The World Lauri Mikkola - Going Down Hanna Sky - Hope MadCraft - Shining Bright MAKEA - Painovoima
No artists known for the songs, but the songs are out: Eurovizijos You Found Me Dying One It's Not Too Late Breakaway Take A Look At Me Now Is This The Way (You Want Me) Blowing Out Cobwebs Map Worlds Apart Silent Tears It's All About A Boy In The Rain New Beginning Attention Last Date
Eesti Laul Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui Tuuled Pöörduvad Nion - Muud Pole Vaja Maiken - Siin Või Sealpool Maad Lenna - Supernoova Brigita Murutar - Laula Täis Taevakaar Tanja Mihhailova - Amazing Kõrsikud - Tule Ja Jää Wilhelm - Resignal Mait Maltis - Elu Norman Salumäe - Search August Hunt - Kus On EXIT? Traffic - Für Elise Super Hot Cosmos Blues Band - Maybe Maybe MiaMee - Fearful Heart Sofia Rubina - City Lights VÖÖRAD - Maailm On Hull Nimmerschmidt - Sandra Lauri Pihlap - Lootus The Titles - Flame State of Zoe - Solina
I see you added Sandra Nurmsalu's song. Here's a little Top 5 ranking from me. (In no real order) 1. Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui Tuuled Poorduvad (Bloody strange intro, cut it and it's a nice song) 2. Nimmerschmidt - Sandra (Electropop is always something I like to listen to) 3. Tanja - Amazing (Only tolerable English song in Eesti Laul imo - nice and catchy) 4. Nion - Muud pole vaja (Catchy chorus) 5. Laula Tais Taevakaar (Cute indie folk song) (I also enjoy Siin Voi Seapool Maad and Kus on EXIT?)
Here's mine - considering they're only 30 seconds. 1. Twin Twin - Moustache 2. Joanna - Ma Liberté 3. Destan - Sans Toi
Uuden Musikiin Kilpailu 2014 - Final Mikko Pohjola - Sängyn Reunalla Hukka ja Mama - Selja Lauri Mikkola - Going Down Clarissa ft. Josh - On Top Of The World SoftEngine - Something Better MadCraft - Shining Bright MIAU - God/Drug Hanna Sky - Hope Well sadly for me, my #7 and #8 are the two songs that didn't need a semi to qualify for the final, cause the jury put them through directly.
I'm hoping for Hukka Ja Mama - the Finnish songs are ten times better than the English songs in UMK this year. Knowing Finland though, they'll make a bad choice once again and go for Hanna Sky or Clarissa and Josh.
National Final - Live versions Destan - Sans Toi Joanna Lagrave - Ma Liberté Twin Twin - Moustache Admitted, Destan is a car crash live, but Joanna's ballad is a little too 'Maltese' for me.
My ranking. 1. Destan - Sans Toi (Complete turn around for me - it's young, modern and catchy and one of them has quite a good voice.) 2. Twin Twin - Moustache (Catchy, I still like it. He sort of reminds me a bit of Stromae if he was a little more insane. ) 3. Joanna Lagrave - Ma Liberté (Vanilla, plain, boring as shite.)
