16. Norlan El Misionario - No Voy A Llorar Por Ti
17. Shava - Ostarilla
18. Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - Aina Mun Pitää

That's actually a decent bunch of songs. I love a good opera car crash, so Opera Skaala is the song I like. I like the variety Finland is once again offering, even having a song with joiking in it (Solju's), but also rock in various styles. It's not all glorious though, especially Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät is terror to the ears.

Eurovizijos dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka (catchy name)

1. This Time
2. Take My Love
3. Not Perfect
4. Skęstu
5. The Right Way
6. Sound of Colours
7. Say You Love Me
8. No More Tears
9. Factory Hearts
10. Feel My Love
11. Dangerous (S.O.S.)
12. Es Tut Mir Nicht Leid

I feel like I can't really judge it, some artist might sing one song great, but the others make it crappy. And not every song fits every artist. But this nf isn't bad at all. ("This Time" is head and shoulders above the others imo)

Songs with video clips: here
And a recap with the videos

Will do a proper ranking at a later date (hopefully!) but Mustelmat simply has to win, I'll be so sad if it doesn't

I finally listened to all the Finnish songs and I have 5 favourites....Satin Circus - Crossroads (yes, the one I had selected in random in chat one night...lol), Siru - Mustelmat (very atmospheric song, not sure how it will be live), Solju - Hold Your Colours (very different), Jouni Aslak - Lions And Lambs (catchy) and Vilikasper Kanth - Äänen kantamattomiin (love the melody in this one).

Good songs in general, anyway..as long as they don't send the opera woman

Edited to add: OH DEAR GOD the most views on YouTube are for that AWFUL song -Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - Aina mun pitää
