Benjamin is also my favorite! But I can see Cha Cha Cha winning too. But also Keira and Kuumaa deserve it. Argghhh Finland, what are you doing to us!? If only some other countries could borrow their songs...
I just wanna say that KUUMAA’s song (at least for me) is very addictive and every time I listen to it I feels like I’m in some kind of ecstasy 🥴 And this is why I personally love that song❤
Thank you for your reactions! Käärijä is the biggest favourite here in Finland right now. I think he´ll win if he nails it live. My personal ranking is : 1) Käärijä 2) Benjamin 3) KUUMAA 4) Keira 5) LXandra 6) Portion Boys 7) Robin. But Robin is a very charismatic performer, so he can lift the song with his live performance. I´m sure Portion Boys will certainly put up a show too and LXandra on the other hand has a song that benefits a lot if she can bring the intimate feeling on the stage.
Portion Boys is mostly loved band in Finland, this song is funny, but it is not their best, it isn't good enough, to me personally the lyrics in that song makes me ashamed and embarrassed. Robin Packalen has a big fan base in Finland, but the song isn't good enough. It is good, but the other songs in Umk is better this year 😂. Robin has made music in Finnish for years, We were waiting for him to make a big hit song in English. This wasn't that we were waiting for. Käärijä is not as well known as an artist, but his song is different, a rock-pop-rap song, it has a meaning that most Finns can relate to. We are serious, tough and rough around the edges, but after few drinks we finally get to ease ourselves. KUUMAA is gonna be a big radio hit next summer, but I'm not so sure about winning the UMK. I think KUUMAA is trying to make them better known in Finland and UMK actually can achieve them that. Lxandra has a beautiful voice and a meaningful lyrics yes, but the song is not memorable enough. Keira is only 17-years-old, soon to be 18. No business on the dancefloor is her first single, and what a pop hit it is, just marvellous. Benjamin's songs is a hit. It is good, it is sexy and it is a grower. But does the sex still be the only thing what sells this songs? I don't know with song will win UMK, but I do hope it's Cha Cha Cha 😍 🇫🇮
Benjamin won "Dancing with stars" in Finland last year. He's a singer/songwriter/model who originally rose to fame in Finland via Instagram. He publicly came out as gay just last may during Pride festival. And yes, he is a VERY pretty boy indeed.
Yes Robin is famous in Finland, he is kinda Finlands' Justin Bieber, I believe he had his breakthrough at the age of about 13. He's got quite a weak song here, compared to his back catalogue. ..
I am glad the world gets to see finnish musical talent with UMK when in the Eurovision itself our track record is rather... Interesting :D We actually do a LOT of music.
WHOOPS! Because of some copyright issues a part of the video is missing and it where I'm talking about my FOURTH place - drag down to reveal it :)) (also apologies about the brief pause on 9:11 as that's again a copyright precaution! it's KUUMAA :)
Ylivoimainen dinledikçe üst sıralara tırmanan ve kendini loopa aldıran bir şarkı. UMK Finali gelene kadar daha fazla seveceğini düşünüyorum. Grubun enerjisi ve şarkının kalitesi iyi bir canlı performansla birleşirse birincilik iddiaları oluşabilir.
Finland is absolutely killing it in UMK, this is a fantastic national final! I'm mostly rooting for Benjamin and Käärijä to win. Also Lxandra might not be as much in the running to win (although I wouldn't mind if she did), but that song has already become really special to me. There's no bad song here really, although I think Robin's is maybe a bit bland and I just don't really vibe with Portion Boys.
Thank you for your interesting video! As a Finn I think Käärijä will win UMK, so many people name him their favorite. He is my favorite too. My list: 1. Käärijä, 2. KUUMAA, 3. Benjamin, 4. Keira. The rest are more even but 5. Lxandra, 6. Portion Boys, 7. Robin. To answer your question, yes Robin is well known here, he was a child star. Search Frontside Ollie. Also Benjamin is well known and Portion Boys super popular in Finland. The rest are (or were) more unknown. KUUMAA was named as the band of the year in Finnish Emma Gala 2023.
Benjamin's song is catchy but the lyrics might be too racy for some people. My favourite is Käärijä (whose name you pronounced perfectly, by the way), if he can pull it off live. Finns love him at the moment but I think the winner depends on the live performance so nothing's set yet! Kuumaa's song is nostalgic and I could listen to it on repeat, but it's maybe not the right one for Eurovision.
I am like : You say for portion boys: I think these lyrics are bit random* Me(i am finnish) : TIEDÄT KIMI RÄIKKÖSEN? SE VOITTI FORMULA YKKÖSEN!! English: DO YOU KNOW KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN? HE WINNED FORMULA ONE!!!✨🌿
Your first, Swede-Finnish Benjamin the ex teen star, came out some time ago and got a new start for his career. I'm just afraid he and young Keira (18y this year, also Swede-Finnish) are not the strongest performing live. In Finland Käärijä has got the biggest attention, really curious to see his live performance, he could steal the whole show or be just meh... Kuumaa sounds the most Finnish here, kind of typical Finnish melancholic, radio-friendly pop, in good and bad.
I think Käärijä is going to win because there is an insane amount of hype around him. To be fully honest I wish Benjamin would win because I am a big fan of him and having lgbtq+ people in eurovision is always fun. Either way, I am going to be happy with whoever wins this years UMK. Every song is a banger
Benjamin is my favourite and Käärijä is the best...BUT Käärijä is also my favourite but Benjamin is the best 😭 Try u to be from 🇫🇮 ... Hard, hard, hard..
Ylivoimainen is such a typical finnish radio pop song. It'll be played to death here, I can already tell. 😆
888888888888
Benjamin is also my favorite! But I can see Cha Cha Cha winning too. But also Keira and Kuumaa deserve it. Argghhh Finland, what are you doing to us!? If only some other countries could borrow their songs...
They can't, because we are keeping them all ourselves 😉.
I just wanna say that KUUMAA’s song (at least for me) is very addictive and every time I listen to it I feels like I’m in some kind of ecstasy 🥴 And this is why I personally love that song❤

it's a serious competition! after a few listens I must say KUUMAA has grown on me a lot, let's see what happens! thanks for watching:)
Kiitos paljon for making me discover the way Finland get to select their representative to the ESC. Hugs from Belgium.

Excellent overview of all the songs. It's gonna be a real competition in the finals!
cha cha cha 😳😳😳

I’m from Finland and WOW we have a great selection this year! 🥳My personal favourites are Käärijä, Benjamin and Lxandra.
Cha cha cha is a clear winner! 🎉🎉🎉
Gerçekten bu yıl UMK şarkıları efsane
We have to wait till finals 25 February to see the live shows. Thrilling!

Hello from Finland, Robin Packalen started at age 13 year 2012. First he sang in Finnish, but last few years has been singing in English
9:25 Absolutely, I agree 100%!! Nightwish fan since 1997 here!
Yes Robin is famous in Finland, he is kinda Finlands' Justin Bieber, I believe he had his breakthrough at the age of about 13. He's got quite a weak song here, compared to his back catalogue. ..
Ylivoimainen is perfect!!! but it maybe depends if ur finnish? but i still like käärijä more
I'm rooting for Käärijä and Cha cha cha 🔥🔥🔥 It is the only song that has the real chance to go top-5 in the Eurovision song contest.

2. Kuumaa
3. Benjamin
4. Keira
5. Portion Boys

birkaç kez dinleyince bağımlılık yapan tarzda bir şarkı!
@@OnurUzOZ Spotify'da en çok dinlenen UMK 2023 şarkıları içinde 2. sıraya yükseldi. Teorimiz çalışmaya başladı galiba. :)
The letter "y" is pronounced same as ü in Turkish :) Ülivoimainen :D

no business on dancefloor for the win bop
Benjamin or käärijä. Greetings from Finland❤
Spain, the best. 12 points👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Got only 5 from public 😢
you are so handsom :)

This year they are all good songs. Käärijä is my winner. :)

I am like :
You say for portion boys:
I think these lyrics are bit random*
Me(i am finnish) : TIEDÄT KIMI RÄIKKÖSEN? SE VOITTI FORMULA YKKÖSEN!!
English: DO YOU KNOW KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN? HE WINNED FORMULA ONE!!!✨🌿
Käärijä and Benjamin for the win! I'd rather Cha cha cha, because it's a stand out.
Your first, Swede-Finnish Benjamin the ex teen star, came out some time ago and got a new start for his career. I'm just afraid he and young Keira (18y this year, also Swede-Finnish) are not the strongest performing live. In Finland Käärijä has got the biggest attention, really curious to see his live performance, he could steal the whole show or be just meh... Kuumaa sounds the most Finnish here, kind of typical Finnish melancholic, radio-friendly pop, in good and bad.
I've seen Benjamin singing live in a tv studio a few years ago and he had amazing stage presence. I was very surprised.
You could use substitles
Benjamin is like Janek from Eesti Laul on Red Bull (or something more sinister).
You forgot Kuumaa from your top😅. You listed 7th, 6th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st. Forgot 4th but I think you meant to put KUUMAA there.
OMG! sorry about it, yes you're right they're my 4th
total technical glitch!
BENJAMIN PLAESE
The Kuumaa boys are in the audience looking at some other band. Not their own gig 😊
IMHO Ylivoimainen is the best song right before hoidat mut and cha cha cha but cha cha cha will win UMK by far
I think Käärijä is going to win because there is an insane amount of hype around him. To be fully honest I wish Benjamin would win because I am a big fan of him and having lgbtq+ people in eurovision is always fun. Either way, I am going to be happy with whoever wins this years UMK. Every song is a banger
Benjamin or Kuumaa for me
Anyone that is finnish here saying portion boys wasnt easily the best is simply lying to themselves
Benjamin is my favourite and Käärijä is the best...BUT Käärijä is also my favourite but Benjamin is the best 😭 Try u to be from 🇫🇮 ... Hard, hard, hard..
