And to Finnish....


We love Finland. They hosted a brilliant contest last year, and have entered some great songs down the decades.

Tonight's final will feature eight songs. 6 have already qualified, and 2 more will battle their way through in a 2nd Chance round which will take place immediately prior to the Final.

Having heard the pre-qualified finalists we're a bit stumped to know who will win. We reckon it could be Finnish music legend, Kari Tapio, whose version of Italy's 1990 Eurovision winner has apparently become an unofficial national anthem.

However we'd quite like Mikael Konttinen (pictured above), who sings the incredibly Finnish Milloin, to end up victorious. It's just like Finnish Eurovision songs from the 1980s, and we quite like that!
