Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

The Finnish Eurovision entry 2017 by Norma John has been covered by the leading Finnish accapella group Club For Five. Enjoy!

The #UMK2017 songs have been out in the internet for less than three hours now so let's have a look what the media and fans are saying when it's still hot. In a popular fans chatroom poll the most popular ones right now are Emma, Norma John, Zühlke and My First Band . A total knock out for Club La Persé and Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri-La Rubies. The entries by Alva and Günther & D'Sanz and Lauri Yrjölä seem to leave fans rather indifferent or get varied response from rather good to rather bad, and Anni does get some positive comments and no one seems to hate her song. On the other hand no one seems to love it either.... Günther gets the most media exposure as expected and his photo is the lead photo in most every article. In Ilta-Sanomat most comments are by the usual Eurovision haters who call for the ending this altogether and knowing beforehand Finland will score null points. Some also complain about the UMK in general and by doing so most make clear ...

I don't get those who say the French entry sucks - well, then I don't get those who say Sweden or Spain are so great either for that matter - as it's a fantastic melody sung masterfully by Lisa, who maybe does look more like a suburban housewife than an Eurovision star but then who cares? France television and their delegation should just take example of Finland 1989 shots and direction and the deal is done.... Anyways, Lisa proved once again what a great artist she is in this live acoustic performance of N'oubliez pas on Grand studio RTL, I wish and hope France will be the shocker this year for fans doing so much better than they think..... Just to teach them a lesson :-)
