Who will win the ticket to Malmo next week? There have been some differences between the Jury and Public Vote – could we be in for a shock result? We had always predicted the Finnish Final to be a close decision. This could go down to the wire.

This year’s final is excellent, much better than previous boring years for Finland…
All songs are good, but only two have the thrill that makes a European overall winner: Mikael Sarri (great vocal and emotional sound and melody, dramatic atmosphere) and Great Wide North (anthemlike song).
My favorite is Mikael. Please, Finland, send him to Malmo !
What are your favourites Franck? It is a great line up
