Niin kaunis on taivas - Finland 1996 - Eurovision songs with live ochestra

[@mp2956]

One of the most underrated songs of the whole Eurovision contest. Yet one of the best ones in my eyes.

[@Zedd1500]

How could this lovely, happy song get such a poor result? Finland was definitely victimised that year. This should have been in the top 5. Hyvin tehty, Suomi! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@bittensrensen9819]

What a great song, 12 points from Denmark

[@turklerinortaktarihi9182]

Best last place ever... The result is impossible to understand! Suomi torilla tavataan! Greetings from Turkey.

[@ELvisLiveS-ok6mq]

1988 entry was also one of those good songs that placed last

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

this song is great and beautiful and jasmine is absolutely adorable just look at her

[@darraghgregory1269]

12 points from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏

[@gutierre75]

Cómo pudo quedar última esta maravilla de canción. A veces la historia de Eurovisión nos sorprende tan tristemente, pero gracias a KZbin podemos darle el valor que se merecieron en su momento

[@pavlimpeis]

The melody was nice but the song was a bit monotonous

Theres nothing to be ashamed here She did great

Beautiful And Lovely Song!! 🎵🎶 12 Points From Greece!! 🇬🇷❤️🇫🇮

[@nowayjose34]

I rewatched the entire competition and it was my second place after Ireland. I was shocked to see it come last. Incredibly beautiful song.

[@turklerinortaktarihi9182]

Hakikaten niye sonuncu olmuş? Bu arada şarkıcı çingeneymiş hatta Türkiye'de de yaşamış.

[@postilaatikko7384]

​@@turklerinortaktarihi9182 that means she is Finnish gypsy, Finnish Kale. They are good singers by tradition.

[@TiiroyGX]

​​What meen cale?

[@postilaatikko7384]

​​​@@TiiroyGXim sorry there was actually typo. They are Finnish Kale. It's a group of romani people and they live in Finland and Sweden. They are one of the few different groups of romani people of the world. I think the biggest group is called Roma, Finnish Kales are a tiny group compared to them.

[@40ny]

Really nice song.

[@j.t.5178]

What's interesting was that this song almost did not qualify. Finland was tied with Hungary for 22nd place, both with 26 points. At the time, the rule was the country that received the highest number of top votes was placed higher. Greece gave Finland it's highest score of 8 points, while Romania gave Hungary their highest score of 7 points and therefore Finland qualified. Had it been today's rules, Hungary would have qualified as 9 countries voted for the song while only 4 voted for Finland. The whole pre-qualifying round was just a mess as it was either music video or live performances of varying qualities. Honestly, If there was a year to start semi-finals it should have been 1996. They had 30 countries and could have done a semi-final similar to the system used from 2004-2007 where the top 10 countries in 1995 auto-qualified, with the remaining 20 went to the semi-final with the top 13 qualifying to the final. I would have chosen Finland over Hungary. It's a great song, not a winner but much better than some of the other songs that qualified and totally bombed live (*cough* *cough* Spain *cough).

[@Botafogoplayground]

Spain sent one of the worst entries ever!!!!

[@j.t.5178]

The studio version is actually not bad. But had there been a semifinal in 1996 they wouldn't have gone through for sure!

[@JeSuisRene]

Was Spain meant to be a joke entry, as that’s the impression I got...

[@j.t.5178]

@@JeSuisRene Nope, that guy was serious and pretty much ruined the Latin American boom that happened in the United States in the late 90s that Spain was riding on. Actually, not really as Spain was pretty much hit miss throughout the 90s.

[@j.t.5178]

@@Botafogoplayground TBH, the studio version was alright. However, that performance was a complete disaster and can be seen as one of the worst.

Probably Finland's most undeserved last place.

[@rhysepoos]

Nope, THE most undeserved last place. I don't know what possessed the juries, it's such a beautiful song, and so different to the typical ballads and schlager we normally have at Eurovision.

[@andrijadjordjevic9584]

@@rhysepoos The song is nice, but she was a problem. Bad singing, creepy voice and she even made a mistake when she once continued singing after refrain when there should be an instrumental part.

[@ELvisLiveS-ok6mq]

I dont agree on the creepy voice or anything she had a great voice. But there was indeed a small mistake but its not guaranteed if the jury even noticed because they dont understand the lyrics. And she continued the song to the end like a pro. Didnt deserve last place.

[@andrijadjordjevic9584]

For the people wondering why it came last, at 2:25 she sings during the interlude

[@TomBartram-b1c]

Maybe it was a stylistic "Mamas and Papas" slip. A Fin I was talking to on hols said this song still gets radio play with it left in.

[@Zoiggelz]

I haven't heard other countries' songs for the 1996 Eurovision, but in my opinion, this doesn't sound like something that would deserve the absolute last place. Sure, I'm Finnish myself so I might be kinda biased, but sometimes I'm in the mood to listen to some more "traditional" stuff exactly like this although I hadn't even been born in the 1900s.

Extremely undeserved last place, just a bit ahead of its time (it's aged very well) and I think coming right after Ireland in the running order killed it -this couldn't be much more different to The Voice and the contrast was just too stark for the juries.

[@sandstrano9107]

I’m definitely not a fan of Finnish songs in this contest, but this is one of the very few occasions I have to say that Finland was underrated. It wasn’t the best song in 1996, but definitely NOT the worst. I think it’s Finland’s best last placed song.

I have heard many other Finns disapprove of this song for some reason, but it sounds beautiful to me, especially when I adjust the tempo to 25% faster 😅. Similarly, I like the last Netherlands 🇳🇱 ESC entry that was sung in Dutch “Ik Ben Verliefd (sha-La-Lie)” and many people from Netherlands don’t like that one which sounds traditionally Dutch. So you’re not alone. I DO like it though, sorry!
