Euroviisut 2011 - The Final

Last night Paradise Oskar won the Euroviisut 2011 and will represent Finland in Düsseldorf.
I definitely think that the best song won, he has an amazing charisma, knows how to move on stage and i think Finland will be proud of him. His performance in the final was good but i prefer his semifinal performance.

Also i have to say that i was really impressed when my 3 favorites get into the superfinal, so congratulations to Saara who showed that is an AMAZING singer, i hope to see her soon in Eurovision and Father Mckenzie for that great song.
The Results
3.Father Mckenzie - Good enough 12.6%
2.Saara Aalto - Blessed with love 40.7%
1.Paradise Oskar - Da da dam 46.7%
The Lyrics

Da da dam
M&L: Axel Ehnström

Peter is smart,
he knows each European country by heart.

He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard
and wait for an apple to fall.

When Peter is nine
his teacher tells him that this planet is dying,
that someone needs to put an end to it all
and so when Peter comes home
he tells his mom:

"I'm going out in the world
to save our planet.

And I ain't coming back
until she's saved.

I'll walk my way to see
the King and parliament.
If they don't help
I'll do it by myself.
I don't wanna be

Da da dam
da da da da da da
da da dam"

Peter is young,
he tries to talk
but no one listens to him.

Everybody's busy living and dying,
not thinking about what they're doing.

But look at the boy who
went out in the world
to save our planet.

And he ain't coming back
until she's saved.

He walked his way to see
the King and parliament.

But they all turned their heads
and walked away
singin'
Da da dam

And now I'm going out in the world
to save our planet.

And I ain't coming back
until she's saved.

I'm walking in the footsteps
that young Peter made.
And everybody is welcome to join,
and sing with me:
Da da dam

Well all i can say is good luck to Axel(Paradise Oskar), i really wish him the best in Germany and lets sing da da dam da da dam...

Euroviisut 2011 - Semifinal 3

The last semifinal started with this:
What happened to his hair, he looked so weird and funny, his hair made me laugh so bad but i love it lol. Now its time to comment the performances:

1.Eveliina Määttä - Dancing in the Dark


With just the first 10 seconds i knew it was going to be bad, the song is not bad, but its kinda weak, her vocals were just ok but her stage presence is very very poor, she looked nervous, strengthless, her charisma is 0, i didnt like anything of it, i have a lot of bad things to say about it but im just going say that it was the worse performance of the euroviisut 2011. Im sorry but this wasnt good.

2.Sami Hintsanen - Täältä maailmaan

This is the typical boring song that finnish people vote but he is a great singer and he did a nice performance, the only thing i didnt like was his clothes, he needs to wear something more appropriate for that song.

3.Tommi Soidinmäki - Seis!

This song was one of my favorites since november, its a very different song, his vocals were very good, he stage presence amazing and i really liked it, i also loved the way he looked, great connection with the camera and a very strong performance.

4.Saara Aalto - Blessed with love

She was my favorite in this semifinal, her song is beautiful but i had some doubts about her live vocals before the performance but she showed me that her vocals abilities are amazing. she did a great performance, i love it, the dress was good, the backing vocals did a fantastic work and the best of this song its Saara, magic stage presence and the best vocals in this Euroviisut 2011, im very very happy for her and i wish her all the best in the final.

5.Stala & So - Pamela

The 1st time i saw a pic of the band i thought he was an old lady lol, this was good, they had a great energy on stage, the song its very catchy, his vocals were ok for this kinda songs, they knew how to do it and they did it well, the audience there loved it and i think it was very good.

The Finalists
Sami Hintsanen
Stala & So
Saara Aalto
 
The YLE Wildcard
Eveliina Määttä
Is this a joke? O_O
I just cant believe this there were much better artists, performances and songs, there is no reason to think this girl is better than Tommi, Jonna and even Jimi, the only way i think she get the wildcard was putting all the names of the non finalists on a box and her name was chosen radomly.  Well at least we know who will finish last on the final.
 
The final will be on February 12, im not sure how the finnish people will vote but i guess it will be between Stala & So and Paradise Oskar.

New Music Videos - Ithaka Maria, Elmayonesa, Saara Aalto & Ola


Ithaka Maria is competing on the Eesti Laul with this fabulous song, the video is awesome, i think this is my favorite for Estonia 2011 and cant wait to see her live.


This can be my 2nd favorite from Eesti laul, its so interesting, he is from Argentina and it can be very interesting to see this representing Estonia in Eurovision, waiting to see if it sounds good on the live performance.


She is Saara and is going to be today on the 3rd semifinal of the Euroviisut, i like her song and the video is ok, i wonder if her vocals are good live, we will know soon.


And the last video is from the amazing Ola with that great song, the video looks fantastic and he looks hot!.

Euroviisut 2011 - Semifinal 2

Today was the 2nd Semifinal of the Euroviisut, 3 of my favorites participated, fabulous hosts, bad dresses, rock stars and 3 finalists.

1.Soma Manuchar - Strong

1st think in my mind when the performance started was WTF is she wearing? what a horrible look, i didnt like anything about this, maybe her dancers, bad vocals, boring performance and very weak song, sorry.

2.Paradise Oskar - Da da dam

This is one of my favorites songs since november, what can i say? It was the best performance so far, he has charm, talent, and maybe he looked shy and a bit nervous but that made him look real, i love it and i cant believe how cute he is, comparations with Tom Dice, i think this song is much better that "Me and my guitar" and Axel Ehnström "Paradise Oskar" imo have more charm and something that makes you love him, i love him lol, lovely song, great performance and an amazing artists, da da dam da da dam...

3.Jimi Constantine - Party to party


It was the turn of the favorite, i like this song, its very catchy but i think the performance was too much, there were a lot of things, money, champagne, he talked a lot, i have to admit that i liked when he took his shirt off lol, he is hot but i guess it was too much "rock star" for Eurovision, i think he deserved to go to the finals because his song was good but maybe the finnish people didnt love his rock star performance. I kinda like it, but i  definitely dont want that kinda performance on esc, those performances suits more a live concert but not a contest.

4.Milana Misic - Sydämeni kaksi maata
Next artists and once again the same question in my mind: WTF is she wearing? it looks like a cheap halloween costume. One think i cant deny is that she is very talented, her vocals were good and she seems to be a very sweet woman, unfortunately i dont like the song, its like 3 or 4 songs in one, and it sounds very weird, the performance was good and i wish her good luck.

5.Father Mckenzie - Good enough

I like this song a lot, i think he was a bit nervous but his vocals were ok and overall it was a good performance, im not sure what he needs to improve, maybe he needs to be more confident next time but im very happy for them and i hope they can do it better in the final.

The Finalists

Milana Misic

Father Mckenzie

Euroviisut 2011 - Semifinal 1

Today was the 1st semifinal of the Euroviisut 2011, nice stage, great hosts and 3 finalists:

1.Automatic Eye - I'm not the one who's sorry

Their performance was kinda weak, they looked a bit nervous and his vocals were not perfect, the song to me is ok but forgettable.

2.Marko Maunuksela - Synkän maan tango


I didnt like this song before, but this performance was very good, his vocals were good and the backing vocals are amazing and that gave a great energy to the song, so now i really like it.

3.Johanna Livanainen - Luojani mun

Lovely girl, she is so talented, her voice is beautiful but i dont know what to say about this, i really didnt like her dress, it looked bad and the song to me is nice but maybe too boring.

4.Jonna - Puppets

This was my favorite in this semifinal, she did a very good performance, i liked her choreography, her vocals were good, the song is nice and kinda catchy and i loved her look, to me she was the best tonight, so sad she didnt get into the final. A round of applause for her and her fantastic show.

5.Cardiant - Rapture in time

This song is good, the performance wasnt bad but his vocals were very weak.

The Finalists
Johanna Livanainen
Cardiant
Marko Maunuksela
The other 2 songs will wait for Yle wildcard in the last semifinal.

Is The Euroviisut 2011 Good Enough?

Today the songs that will compete in january in the Euroviisut 2011 were released, some surprises and i already have some favorites, even if i think there were better songs in the Euroviisut 2010.

Now i will comment the 5 songs i like the most

5.Jimi Constantine - Party to party

This one is nice, it sounds a bit like his other song Dirty Cinderella, "We can sleep when we're dead" can be the "Her daddy doesnt need to know", but its a cool song and if he is going to be shirtless it will be hot.

4.Tommi Soidinmäki - Seis!

I like the energy of this song, his voice is very strong but im not sure if this will work in eurovision.

3.Saara Aalto - Blessed with love

This is one of the online winners, they made a nice new version, it sounds beautiful, can she sing it perfectly live? i hope so.

2.Paradise Oskar - Da da dam

What a surprise, when i saw the title and with paradise oskar as a name of the artist i thought it was going to be a dance club song but it was a beautiful song, i love the lyrics and the da da dam da da dam, definitely i think this one should have the chance to go to Düsseldorf.

1.Father Mckenzie - Good enough

This was my favorite since the 1st time i listened, great melody, nice lyrics and if i have to choose one to go to Eurovision, it will be between Father Mckenzie and Paradise Oskar, i really want to see them live, lets wait that the finnish people choose the right one. This is good enough for me.
