UMK16 // SAARA AALTO: “No Fear”

[@LuViiCo]

12 points from the UK! out of all the songs this is the one I keep coming back to, I just can't stop listening to it! it's so catchy! good luck Saara, I really hope you win as I would definitely vote for you at Eurovision!!

[@pholst]

This girls has gotta be one of the most hard working musicians out there ever. She's been around for a while now here in Finland, but never really made it in the traditional sense (big record company, radio play etc.) Though she says she is happy for being able to do exactly what she wants and for having a very loyal (albeit smallish) fan base. She is incredibly versatile (search KZbin for her songs in fluent Mandarin!) and talented. I wish her all the best. Not many last as long as she has, pursuing her dream.

[@tiia1688]

And now she is in the X Factor!!

[@NezumiAthens]

TiiaEvee 17 and she got 2nd plce

[@SilverStrumer]

AND she's now representing Finland at Eurovision 2018!

[@V3RN444]

@@NezumiAthens she would have won, but they couldn't let an finnish girl win, sadly. it wasnt about talent, not at all.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

Extremely unique song, the music is just great and her voice is fantastic. Saara and Tuuli Okkonen are my favorites, I hope one of them wins

[@ericsocarrat75]

I imagine this song with a colorfull stage. Like a Bollywood party! If it is like this, I fell in love. Good luck from Spain! 👏🏽🇪🇸🇫🇮

[@miguelmartin1500]

THE BEST ONE OF THE UMK THIS YEAR. Hope she wins, good luck Saara

[@kjESCil]

Kinda sounds like a mix of a ballad, swedish eurovision pop, modern electro music and oriental elements - it's really nice!

[@aikkuhoo6983]

+kjESCil Chinese elements, she has lived in China and is pretty popular there.

[@kjESCil]

+blondboybc I'm not an expert for this kind of music, sorry

[@aikkuhoo6983]

kjESCil I don't think many of us are but if you like the song, it's enough. :)

[@kjESCil]

Aikku Lootus Yes, and I'm happy that she qualified! My favourites are No fear, On it goes, Good enough and (guilty pleasure) Poom Poom xD

[@jjeeqq]

+kjESCil Without swedish big poop blondes. THank god.

[@tarvivor]

This song needs to not only win UMK but Eurovision as well. It is absolutely INCREDIBLE

[@escmarco]

omg, love this ❤️ best song of umk 2016! :)

[@thomassturley9605]

i really hope they send it friend cause this plus maybe two others i like!!

[@jonahwilliams4966]

So happy that Saara will represent Finland next year in Lisbon

[@rafaolalla97]

OMG I LOVEE IT!!! Saara to Stockholm! Can't stop listening it... 12 points from Spain

[@rafaolalla97]

And? Not because it has not a great message it doesn't mean it's a great song. Good voice and very catchy, with great options to do something interesting in scene, so, SAARA TO STOCKHOLM

[@rafaolalla97]

Well...I don't see Saara's song as a ballad so...

[@quinten2003]

sameeee

[@ESC2016]

Catchy and perfect message ... Helsinki, here we come ! :)

[@messin1000]

Had Finland sent this they probably would have qualified

[@JesusKrispies]

+messin1000 Had Finland sent this they may well have been in the running to win.

[@AlirioAguero2]

Saara, Mikael Saari and Kimmo & Annica would all have a legitimate shot for not only a pass, but a win as well. However, Finland F-ed up once again in their preselection.

[@jannujokunen2701]

but this is absolute garbage?

[@Ritaaw1]

They are this year

[@escboy6901]

Saara Aalto is representing Finland at Eurovision Song Contest 2018! Congratulations!!

[@ESCJed]

Good luck with X Factor this year, I'm rooting for you!

[@NezumiAthens]

Me too! And hi Jed!

[@46lfries]

not sure she should be on the X Factor it's a show for unknowns she acted like she was looking for a break she's already famous hell she sang at Univision competition I don't think X X-Factor should let her compete what are you think

[@nicovarnava2169]

+Larry Fries Lol first of all she did not sing for Finland in the Eurovision song contest earlier in February she competed in a competition to represent Finland with a bunch of other singers, unfortunately she came 2nd place with this song and so she has come to the UK to get help with her music career same as every other person on that show.... Look at last year with the girl group 4th Impact they were already known in by people since they performed in talent shows in Asia but came to the UK X factor because it a bigger and better platform to show their talent, just like Saara. Besides lol she admitted on the show she did a lot of talent shows in Finland so shes not really hiding anything from the public. Personally I really like her hope she gets far in the competition.

[@Piaapo]

Look up Sada Vidoo, she is in X Factor UK atm too, but she has already sold platinum in Denmark.

[@NezumiAthens]

Lol guys she was runner up!!! Wow Saara slays!

[@Starshii]

The X Factor UK brought me here.

[@davidarnold5271]

Starshii same and Emma and circle of light maybe cause both songs deserved to win

[@mttpab]

come on" :p

[@ToveriJuri]

+mttpab She's been on multiple Music competitions always coming in second. Which is a damn shame since she was the most technical and talented singer every single time.

[@alion-zz1xb]

still listen to this masterpiece

[@Firemat7]

What they call a ''jury'' are just some random people :(

[@yeseniasrevenge3018]

Those random people will not vote in UMK 2017! It's going to be normal, 50% televote and 50% REAL jury! :D

[@erickumano4083]

x FACTOR BROUGHT ME HERE TOO!!....SHE GOT A GREAT VOICE AND I THINK THIS IS THE PLATAFORM SHE NEEDS TO MAKE IT INTERNATIONAL!!... I THINK SHE IS GOING TO BE ONE OF FAVORITES THIS SEASON!!! GREETINGS FROM TIJUANA MEXICO!!!

[@MK-ps7zd]

Can we once send something fresh and crispy? This is my favorite so far.

[@alvarla]

+Timo Kuusisto Jep just näin :D

[@ToveriJuri]

+Timo Kuusisto Voihan tipi tii.

[@NBACoDGaming]

+Toveri Juri vitun tipitii :Ddd

[@aikkuhoo6983]

+Markus Kauppinen I think we have always done that but they don't get it. =D We even sent Lordi for Creece. Finnish are nuts but in a good way. :)

[@MK-ps7zd]

+Aikku Lootus Well yeah I guess so. But this is something that everyone can be proud of and I think that the message behind this song is really good. Like saara said that "Here I'm, no guns no guard." that it means like here I truly am, bare, vulnerable and I didn't come to fight.

[@rvillenac]

12 points for this ! Amazing song, #Finland please send this for Eurovision 2016! Go #SAARA

[@ritalakka3535]

+happydaysfonzie puhu vaa omasta puolestas, mulle ainaki riitti viime vuoden nöyryytys

[@ritalakka3535]

+happydaysfonzie Mielipiteensä kullakin, itsestäni tuntui vaan siltä että pkn pääsi viisuihin vain heidän vammaisuutensa takia, eikä kappaleen. Ei siinä mitään jos kappale olisi ollut hyvä, mutta ihan rehellisesti sanottuna kappale oli törkeän huono.

[@deniznl3397]

What is with Finland and India? I like it though.

[@jonas3770]

Lol

[@thomassturley9605]

actually its chinese influence, she lived in china studying music there! :)

[@deniznl3397]

Thomas Sturley Oh really? That is interesting. But I think it sounds very Indian too.

[@mttpab]

+Thomas Sturley interesting information... so chinese ppl will get crazy XD

[@deniznl3397]

***** So basically there is some Indian influences in the song right? I didn't know about the Chinese influences before I wrote the comment.

+Mübarek İnsan years ago*, so sorry 😱

[@yeseniasrevenge3018]

I'm still listening to this awesome song. Finland, you should have sent Saara to Stockholm.

[@BenCG]

Welcome X Factor UK viewers who Googled Saara Aalto. Yes, Saara is already a successful artist. Yes, X Factor UK is making you think she's some random nobody from Finland. Yes, X Factor knows about this and is quite happy to continue being the fake show it is.

[@MAT7SSON]

She also voice acted Princess Anna in Frozen Finnish dub.

[@vilmathealien]

Maybe she's just not "random nobody from Finland", but it's not like she is already a popular singer. She has been in talent competitions before, but she still hasn't made her break through, though some people may know her name. But she is really talented singer and trying to make an international career (which isn't easy, if you're from Finland), so I really hope that she will succeed in the X Factor. And it's ridiculous to even compare any Finnish talent show to the X Factor UK, because the level of talent and the size of the audience are so far from each other.

[@bombomb7094]

No one knows her outside Finland. She's no famous.

[@zakariahassan7291]

You do realise that she didnt mention a word about eurovision, if she did they would have shown footage of it. I recognised her straight away and knew she was going to go through. Shes only known in Finland so I dont know what makes X Factor look fake to you if she only said shes from Finland.

[@nataliahummus6414]

+Julia Catty aye slow down, i don't live in Finland but i've known her for like a year now and i'm hoping she'll go very good in the x factor

[@tiinat9606]

Hyvä Saara! Hyvä biisi ja hauska bollywood-soundi yhdessä energisen ja voimallisen popin kanssa. Toimii :) Peukut pystyssä että menee Euroviisuihin!

[@aikkuhoo6983]

Saara, you are absolutely stunning. Love you voice and singing. Well done!

[@jamestee2744]

She's doing the Indian dance thingy which makes the song more catchy :D

[@ariannabanane]

What a strange arrangement. Should stand out. I like it.

[@roosasandelin3326]

omg I love this

[@Atrapadoenelsistema]

Hello Saara, if you are reading this thank you, im feeling fear now about the fact someone i love could hurt me and i want to help and i dont know exactly how, so i remembered your song and yes, love is the only solution forward and yes this song is creating a positive impact in my little life, thank you ❤

[@reinkem1162]

I fell in love with this right after the first listening!!!! Please, Finland, send either her or Sandhja ❤️

[@yeahnoway111]

Aikku Lootus oh yes we do, we vote terrible songs.. like last year...

[@aikkuhoo6983]

FX That was intentional act, we wanted to give those guys once in a life time experience. It was a lot more important than anything else. I didn't vote them but I'm happy we sent them to ESC. :)

Alvin Sebetero omg good predicting skills! She got 2nd

[@mollythedoll9344]

Omg she's amazing! And I'm not saying this just because I'm a finn... I mean she truly is. Something else, entirely :) She really should win the finnish pre - Eurovision, and get to the Real Thing. Eurovision 2016, that is, in Stockholm. Let's hope she will, and lets vote for her! Beautiful, just beautiful...

Concerning her skills, she is amazing here, the chorus part of the song could have been a bit better, but other parts are so great. :D That's a pity, that she didn't qualify. I love you Saara, greetings from Hungary. ^^

***** Oh really? That's nice! Did you like Cancun? :)

[@SuperGilc]

Oh yeah, that song was (and still is) insanely popular here! I'm very glad you liked Cancun ^^ I've also used those jet ski boats and it feels amazing and of course the Mexican food is unique! I never get used to it even when I've lived here my whole life xD To be honest, I've never visited Cancun mainly because I live to the other side of Mexico (in Mazatlan, which is also a coastal city hehe)

[@JackWalker12993]

Saara Aalto was robbed in 2011 coming 2nd singing "Blessed with Love" and I'm so glad she's back in the Finnish selection! She also finished runner-up on The Voice of Finland right? "No Fear" is alternative, magical, contemporary yet dark and groundbreaking, this could be the winner and can stand out in Stockholm. Best of luck from UK! xxx

[@lauuura878]

+Jack Walker: Well put :) And thanks. ^^

[@CoughFee]

Robbed again in 2016! :(

[@aikkuhoo6983]

Cough Fee She has been #2 many times but that is not a bad place except last night, it was. She so wanted to get there. As Cristal Snow, who also had great song.

[@Bandido894]

+Jack Walker Not Robbed in 2011, cause Paradise Oskar was better and right choice then!

[@aikkuhoo6983]

Bandido894 It has nothing to do with Saara, she wasn't there.

[@Timbardur62]

Now I can see the meaning of becoming a runner-up at UMK-2016. Now you'll have a brighter future ahead after your success at the X Factor UK. A brighter one than the one of a forgotten ESC winner like Loreen and many others. Cheers Saara!

Just don't like the song. Saara sings well, but the song is terrible.

[@jannujokunen2701]

she does not sing well, and the song is garbage. i can't understand people rooting for absolute spiritless mediocrity. maybe they relate to it in a deeper level, as they too are void of any real emotions, unless TV tells them to feel something.

[@brahmaputra4691]

awful song and annoying voice

[@Sirppivasara]

This answer comes really late but this was really political song. This was during both immigrant crisis and when gender neutral marriage was about to be legalized in Finland. People hated the message with burning passion. They hated Saara even during the x factor and Eurovision. These people were monsters.
