As usual YLE has been in complete silence how many entries they have received for UMK2017 and this year not even the artists - to be honest very, very few every year and usually those wannabe nobodies in search for some media coverage - have come out shouting out their intentions and how they have sent in a song that will win it. Yah right.
So far there's only a handful of names that can be digged out from social medias that they may have sent in an entry, or have toyed with the idea. Let's have a look....
Katrin Johansson. I have never heard of her but her wikipedia tells all sort of things. Sounds very promising though, as you can judge yourself from her older video below...
Dead Girl Diamonds is a pop rock grunge rap band from Rauma. Not so quite sure about them though....
Lauri Yrjölä is a professional guitarist playing with Isac Elliot, Sanni, Antti Tuisku and Janna and is now trying to step out as a singer-songwriter as well.
Lyel is a German born indie artist living in Helsinki these days and has already had global releases of her songs. Sounds and looks very interesting indeed....
And then we have two acts I hope have not sent an entry after all: Suamenlejjonat and Kolmen Keisarin Liitto.....
As usual we will know the chosen ones only in January. Unless someone leaks them beforehand as has happened the past two years.... Until then, keep guessing and hoping. Jari Sillanpää won't be in.
UPDATE: Looks like at least these two are in it..... Hope they make it!
