That's horrible! Where's ''Running''? Well whatever they chose Finland will probably enter the bottom of my list...
dimitris "An unexpected list of finalists!" That's mildly put. This UMK is pure catastrophe! Whole jury full of amateurs, who have not a clue of music!
What strange choices, yes (not surprising ones though, as the list had already leaked ;)). Can't help but wonder at the motives of this so-called jury...? Well, one can only hope a good wildcard will be chosen, and that a tolerable song will be sent to Baku (not easy with this lot, I must say) :)

wtf?//////////////////////////////
YESSS!! Iconcrash qualified :)
An unexpected list of finalists!I will listen to them some more.Ville Eetvartti,Leola&Pernilla Karlsson are great.The 3 demos going for the audience wildcard are lame!Martina and Jessica and not DCX or Raita Llomaki?
I'm missing the best of the top 40 songs here, "Erase you" by DCX. Stupid jury.
