Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  After a tiny little break another dose of #Finpop 2025 in between all Vain elämää covers dropping. This time with already #Finpop regulars Aliisa Syrjä, Jemina, Costee and Atti Ketonen with AI artist Sofia Noir. Yes, AI. I discovered that a bit too late as I am against AI stuff but let this be a good reminder and warning that you cannot trust your ears and eyes anymore...... Aliisa Syrjä - Meit ei löydä kukaan Jemina / costee - Epäreilu maailma Antti Ketonen - Ohimenevät päivät Sofia Noir -  Oot mun seikkailu

  Here comes a dose of #Finpop 2025 with a lot of UMk flavor. Aka the latest offers from Nelli Matula, costee, BESS, Ilta and previous UMK winner Aksel Kankaanranta who sadly never got to Eurovision thanks to... you know what. Enjoy! Nelli Matula - Uus ikuisuus costee / BESS - Köyhä ja kipee Aksel Kankaanranta - Helpottaa Ilta - En mieti sua

  Another week, another dose of #Finpop 2025. This time with UMK 2025 artists Viivi and Costee who has teamed with jemina, already featured in this series a few times. Hugo has teamed up with superstars JVG and finally Tomi Saario with his latest effort - he's been on a hot list for UMK by fandom a couple of years so who knows, maybe 2026 he'll be lucky enough? Jemina / costee - Epäreilu maailma HUGO / JVG - Kellon suuntaa Viivi - Ilman sua Tomi Saario - Kuka sä luulit että mä oon?

Finland chose its entry for Eurovision song contest 2025 in Basel in a show from Nokia Arena in Tampere. Some last minute drama was provided by Goldielocks and lost voice, as she was forbid by doctors to speak between dress rehearsal and the final. During the live show it was clear she couldn't sing and the show producers had decided in her favour to use the filmed rehearsal instead. Phew! As she had risen maybe the main contender to challenge Erika after One last morning withdraw/was disqualified taking away another one would only fueled more conspiracy theories against Yle. (Well, I never believed them for that matter but it was worth mentioning this). Update 9.2: 2,270.000 viewers last night  and 342.543 votes given - both are new records! The show was hosted by popstar Sanni and Jasmin Beloued, and by the way they were fantastic!  The sold out arena (as well as sold out dress rehearsal in the afternoon) witnesses a show opened by last year's surprise winner Windows95man wi...

It's time to launch the charts following post again. The first week we can expect both Neea River and Nelli Matula to enter the charts while the others will come next week. And indeed a great start for Nelli as #2 while Neea has to do with #8.  The songs debut (week 3/25)  in  the Radioplay Nelli at #39, Costee at #57, Viivi #63 and  Goldielocks #85. Neea debuted already last week (week 2/25) at #87 and climbs to #80 this week. It's interesting Goldielocks gets radio time but not One Morning Left.... Let's see next week how Erika debuts! Week 4 Erika enters at #2 missing the #1 spot after all but all seven UMK2025 emntries are within Top-12! Goldielocks enters at #6 and One Morning Left at #10. In Radioplay Erika enters at #14. Nelli climps to #28, Costee to #37, Neea to #39, Goldielocks to #44, Viivi to #53 and One Morning Left enters at #68 Week 5: Erika drops to #3 in official singles chart and Viivi drops to #4 and Nelli to #5. Costee drops to #10, Goldielocks to...

Another week, another dose of #Finpop 2024. This week mostly rather not household names. Costee is the biggest name and is also heavily tipped for possible UMK 2025 participation. NOTO is none other than Italian born Sebastian Noto and the others are talents to be yet discovered by most. Enjoy! GABRI - STARTTAA ÖVERI / NOTO - KAUNIIMPAA COSTEE - SANO VAAN N.E.O. - VÄRITETYS SADUT 

Today's dose of #Finpop2023 is rather electro poppish, including UMK favorite Lxandra. HUGO feat. Costi - Taulut costee - Rakastunut suruun Elsa Brotherus - Kokonaan Lxandra - Blonde
