The third and last heat of the Finnish national selection UMK (Uuden Musikiin Kilpailu) has just finished and we got the last three acts that will join the 6 already chosen for next Saturday’s grand final in Helsinki. 100% televoting was the method used to select the final line-up for the show in all the respective semi-finals which were held throughout this month.
In bold, you can see the 3 artists and songs that are making it through:
- Lieminen –Â Pehmeiden arvojen vaalijat
- Tuuli Okkonen – Don’t Wake Me Up
- GuÅ¡ani Brothers – Poom Poom
- Barbe-Q-Barbies – Let Me Out
- Pietarin Spektaakkeli – Liian Kuuma
- Sandhja – Sing It Away
So, the acts fighting to represent Finland in Stockholm next Saturday are the following:
- Saara Aalto – No Fear
- Stella Christine – Ain’t got time for boys
- Eini – Draamaa
- Annica Milán & Kimmo Blom – Good Enough
- Cristal Snow – Love is blind
- Mikael Saari – On it goes
- Barbe-Q-Barbies – Let Me Out
- Sandhja – Sing It Away
- Tuuli Okkonen – Don’t Wake Me Up
The show, which was aired from 20.00 CET, took place at YLE’s headquarters in Helsinki and presented by no other than Finnish 2013 Eurovision entrant Krista Siegfrids and Roope Salminen.
Next week, the grand final will take place and solely televoting will decide who will be flying the Finnish colours in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
