At this spring of 2005 I thought we as Finns have reached the bottom in Eurovision, not that there hadn't been some Zero poing years earlier but this song with Geir Rönning dropped out from finals...A year later Athens 2006 Lordi.

so i'm asking, why didn't this song qualify? this is so soulful, i love the production and geir's near studio sounding voice. luckily lordi got revenge for finland all the other times they've been robbed so that's awesome!
@anthonyfranco884 жыл бұрын
I think it's cause the guy doesn't look like a star. His outfit looks very dated and he looks old. I think it's a good song - it should have qualified. But when you're up against upbeat songs from pop stars that fit the young/attractive mold, this type of performance falls through the cracks. And it's a shame cause it was a good vocal.

Not saying this is that bad but im still thinking literally WHY. Why would we send a Norwegian singer with a song like this. I skipped ESC this year and i dont remember a Finn who really liked this. Its a decent pop song but anyway. Im glad we do things differently now.
@pekkaollila85057 ай бұрын
Back in 2005 most finns had pretty much given up ESC. So the national selection got minimum attention. Because virtually nobody watched and voted, this won. It's a shame because there *was* much more worthwhile material, such as Jennie and Wäinötär.

@Caldera018 жыл бұрын
Because we have our own isolated culture and taste. While we have a close relationship with Sweden, we are culturally much, MUCH closer with Estonia. This is the main reason why I facepalm at the notion that all Swedes vote Finland automatically. Couldn't be further from the truth. Not only are we rivals, but our tastes are wildly different.
@AmadeusBrown7 жыл бұрын
Caldera we are culturally the fucking same with sweden with minor differences in each of our cultures. And we don't have our own "isolated culture". I don't know where in the backforests of lapland do you live, but you are not making any sense.
@Caldera017 жыл бұрын
Really? If that was the case, then why everything comes to Finland so much later than Sweden? Even movies tend to lag months behind Sweden. This issue was multiplied in history where international cultural waves sweeped accross Europe, Finland would lag behind for a very long time. As a result, Sweden today has learned how to market itself, which is one reason why the term 'Swedish sauna' is in common use. Not only that, but we have tremendous cultural differences through religion (Finnish paganism has a huge influence even on modern finnish christianity) and not only that, as people in general finns tend to be a lot more silent and depressive than swedes. I'll have you know that I live at the very southern tip of Finland, surrounded by finnic-swedes as I am one myself and as such I am so very aware of the cultural differences between Finland and Sweden. Closest nation to Finnish culture is Estonia, not Sweden.

Oskar Göcmen Suomella on oma uniikki kulttuuri. Voi sanoa, että Ruotsilla, Norjalla jaTanskalla on sama kulttuuri, mutta Suomella on omansa. Suomen kieli, kansanpiirteet, perinteet ja mytologia eroavat täysin muiden maiden vastaavista. Pitäisi olla ylpeä oman maan erilaisuudesta, eikä hävetä sitä. Ei ulkomaalaiset yleensä ymmärrä suomalaisuutta "all that well".
