[@silencestation557]

Even tho I think Käärijä was the right choice for Liverpool, Ylivoimainen is probably one of the most beautiful Finnish songs I've ever heard ❤️

[@NikolasssNokia]

Yess!!

[@oscaralvarenga4391]

I say the exact same thing!

[@19jenbob]

Totally agree! Their new album is fab too.

[@pm4186]

"Tulipalo" (their previous single) is even more beautiful in my opinion 💙

[@siobhan28483]

Totally. 🇫🇮

[@ESC_jackqulen]

It's the kind of song that is just 3 minutes of eargasm and don't need anything more 😍

[@nikogronlund6703]

Tämä oli nimenomaan paras kappale, jota voisin kuvitella kuuntelevani enemmänkin tulevaisuudessa. Mutta ei ehkä kuitenkaan euroviisuvoittajamateriaalia. Hyvä biisi joka tapauksessa

[@aine5762]

Vähän samoja ajatuksii. Ei mikään kisabiisi mut just sellanen minkä kuulet 10 vuotta myöhemmin ja saat ne parhaat maholliset nostalgiset väreet

[@ziwuri]

Oon ihan samaa mieltä. Tää oli mun mielestä näistä parhaan kuuloinen biisi jota jaksaa kuunnella jatkossakin, mutta Käärijällä on paremmat mahikset voittaa viisut.

This is and will not stop being my winner. KUUMAA did amazing and it's very well put out. The vocals were flawless aswell but I already knew they would be🔥

[@benitocamelo1488]

They might've not won UMK but they won my heart! Discovering Kuumaa was a great way to start this year and I'm sure this isn't the last thing I'll hear from you guys! Greetings from Mexico! 🇲🇽💞🇫🇮

[@sunnylev5940]

🥰🥰🥰🥰You won my heart and you are the winners for me. Congratulations from Israel.

Un mexa con gustos basadísimos, lo que me gusta ver 🍷

[@kv6uf]

I went to two Kuumaa gigs last year. Never heard of them before. Enough said.

[@ignaskucinskas591]

Can all 7 UMK songs just go to eurovision, all of then genuinely deserve to be there

[@kurkkupastillitjalammintee]

Tää esitys on niin kertakaikkisen onnistunut! Hyvä biisi, äärimmäisen upeesti vedetty laulu (joka täydellisyydellään hipoo studioversiota) ja sit viel tää simppeli, viehättävä ja toimiva lavashow! Aivan ihana

[@At-b_music]

I feel like i am floating when the chorus is playing.Its so good

[@emeegeeehen]

The vibes of this performance were IMMACULATE. eta: obsessed with the mountain graphic btw

[@annakobuk3618]

They are my biggest discovery this year. They remind me of other great bands from Northern Europe: a-ha from Norway and Kent from Sweden.

[@leenarauramo8850]

True, they have the same melancholic sound.

[@EternalNyappy]

That explains a lot, why I love them. Synth music is my fav, but it’s these specific vibes that make me love it

[@Selinaaureliaa]

This only getting 5th in the televote was the biggest crime of the night.

[@종쓰Kim]

I'm from korea and knows nothing of any song's lyrics or meaning but i find this one as my most favorite of all eurovision candidate songs from entire countries among eurovision participants.

[@naapurinheluna]

nää äijät ois ansainnu ehdottomasti kakkossijan

[@Bandido894]

Just! Mutta arvattavasti äänestivät sen sijaan Portion Boysin paskapökälepelleilyä!😡

[@MatiasVoutilainen-do1ov]

Tykkäsin kyllä portion boissistakin mutta kyllä tää on parempi kuin se tai robin tai keira

[@heikkiuusikoski4151]

Kyllä. Olisi ansainnut kakkostilan. Portion Boys oli ylivoimaisesti paras. Käärijä taas oli aivan uskomatonta kuraa.

[@satuhukkanen2524]

Kiitos Jätkät! Aivan ihana biisi😍 Tämä jää suosikikkeihini kyllä. Nyt ei auta muu kuin tutustua muuhunkin tuotantoon 👍

[@kaisamatilda2254]

Onneksi olin katsomassa kenraalia, jossa Kuumaa oli lavastettu voittaja. Oli kiva nähdä Ylivoimainen vedettynä muka voiton jälkeen. Olisivat ehdottomasti ansainneet vähintään toisen sijan.

[@Lareinedesfritures]

In this year many Finnish Artist deserve ESC. Great selection , parola di Italiana Tnx

[@irou95]

Ehkä niille riittää spotifyn kuunnelluin biisi suomessa jo monetta viikkoa putkeen :D

[@liesel03da]

12 Points from Germany to Finland for this wonderful Song ❤️🇩🇪🇫🇮

[@semihellialt7488]

Please my Finn friends, tell me Why did you give this song 63 points on the public vote? You loved it, you made it 1st place on spotify. This is a basicly majestic performance. We have perfect vocal performance but why? Kuumaa didn't deserve 5th place. Anyway, We discovered an amazing band. We'll continue to learn Finnish language with their songs :)

[@theavocadogirl5671]

They had amazing vocals and over all a good performance but they could’ve done so much more with the staging and the performance. For me it was that. And then of course the hype around Käärijä and people saying constantly vote for him. They had a great performance but over all a bit boring to me. It’s a really good song but idk if it would’ve really done that well in eurovision

[@theavocadogirl5671]

And also they didn’t deserve 5th place more like 3rd to me but it was kind of those songs that fly under the radar and people don’t really notice because there are so many other songs.

[@ayumisanyuki7116]

@@theavocadogirl5671 what? do so much then lose out of breath? just look at others performance very weak vocals because of doing too much

[@SepyLi]

I don’t think the results are a top list. Kuumaa and Benjamin for example lost votes for Käärijä. Also some ppl voted Käärijä to prevent Portion Boys from winning. I mean some ppl who voted Käärijä chose between Käärijä and for example Kuumaa. Portion Boys has a different kind of demographic voting for them etc.

[@ashcommittedarsonbutinasexyway]

I love it as a song, it's on a lot of my playlists (also very fun to sing), but it's just not _the_ Eurovision song

[@kimternestaal]

This was my winner, I even learned the song in finnish! 😅

[@blauerose8641]

[@familyguy1885]

in love with this song and his voice... but guys, no worries you have sent a FIREBALL to ESC! Best of luck, i hope Kaarija will get the Trophy for all of these amazing contestants and for Finland of course 🔥

[@eurovisionestonia]

Sounds like classic already with a classy performance to top it off as well :)

[@CangulAkdas]

My winner. I will listen to Kuumaa until I die voittajani. Kuumaaa kuuntelen kuolemaan asti. koska sä oot ylivoimainen 🤍

[@sense8339]

Although I’m incredibly happy and relieved Kaarija got picked, I’m sad that we lost this. It would have been in my personal top 10, it is such an earworm and a hidden gem.

Above all else Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! You're above all else. Heads or tails or whatever it takes. As long as I can get back to you. Once again. The evening's so chilly and I just can't get - the storm inside me to quiet down. I just can't. You told me that you'd be back some day. But I can't just sit here and wait. I've decided I'm going to find you again. No matter what it takes. Even if this is an endless highway, - I'll run it all the way if it takes me to you. I'll jump all the fences and climb all the stairs. Because you're above all else. There's nothing left for me but you. My shoes are in tatters and my heart's on fire. You're the only symbol on my map. Because you're above all else. Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! You're above all else. The highs and the lows and whatever they are. You have it all in you a thousand times. Greater still. You're the last guiding light at the end of my path - that makes me carry on. And everything else that I'm leaving behind - just burn it all to the ground. Even if this is an endless highway, - I'll run it all the way if it takes me to you. I'll jump all the fences and climb all the stairs. Because you're above all else. There's nothing left for me but you. My shoes are in tatters and my heart's on fire. You're the only symbol on my map. Because you're above all else. Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! You're above all else. Even if this is an endless highway, - I'll run it all the way if it takes me to you. I'll jump all the fences and climb all the stairs. Because you're above all else. There's nothing left for me but you. My shoes are in tatters and my heart's on fire. You're the only symbol on my map. Because you're above all else. Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! Oo-oo-oo! You're above all else. here! Enjoy!

They will have my heart forever.❤️‍🔥 Literally sobbing my eyes out.😭😭😭

[@rheffic1971]

simple, very "a-ha" live performance just didn't click on the night at UMK, song deserved so much more (maybe we expected too much from the hyperkinetic video). Lead singer Brotherus is one class act -- a touch of very young Elvis about him!

[@rheffic1971]

more I watch this performance, more I think I overreacted on the night. It's simple and classy, designed to showcase Johannes and his ability to hold a stage with seemingly little effort. A grower.

Tämä oli ehdottomasti Ylivoimainen! 🏆Musiikkia korville! Riittää vain Mies, (tai nainen, mutta tässä tapauksessa Mies) lauluääni ja oikeat Sanat.

Aivan loistava. ❤️😍Tätä olen nyt melkein repeatilla kuunnellut eilisestä alkaen. 😃🥰
