The lyrics of "Kuori Mua", much like an onion, are actually layered. Layer 1: The lyrics are about wanting to be undressed, for implicit reasons Layer 2: The lyrics are about wanting to be seen and understood in more than surface level Layer 3: The lyrics are a reference to the onion scene from Shrek.

I’m not sure about them being a real reference as they are a symbol like the onion was on Shrek. The song is about getting up close and personal with someone, undressing is not literal, but more like removing masks and armor and getting closer to the person under them. The onion is a symbol for multiple different layers people have, and that in order to really know someone, you will have to get through all of them. As Sini says, undress, dive deep and get ready for tears.

I feel like the expectations this year were so high that whatever songs Yle picked, people think this year is worse than last year. I think Sara Siipola (better than Tattoo) is the best choice we have, and its definedly the best ballady-pop song UMK has ever had. I would love us to send something else than rock/rap this time as there isn't clear public favorite yet (Sara Siipola is fan favorite already, but would not be the first time Finnish Eurovision fans disagree with the rest of the Finns). Im 99% sure we send either Sara, Cyan Kicks or Windows95man.

I’m a bit annoyed that people are still looking for Käärijä. Like he is the only thing in music in Finland. Käärijä wasn’t even known in Finland when he joined the game and nobody is trying to copy him. But it seems everyone else expects them to. That’is a bit unfair in my opinion.

An excellent selection overall, as I'd expect from UMK. Here's my personal top 7 with some comments : 1.) Sara Siipola - Paskana : It's just so good. The lyrics are really impactful and even though I can't understand Finnish at all, I honestly could feel her emotions just through the video and vocals. Obviously, reading the lyrics after my first listening also made it even more impactful but I think it's important that it already is impactful if you don't know the actual meaning of the song. It's a really memorable pop / kind of a bit electro ballad as well, the chorus just stays in your head and it is an interesting formula for a ballad, it makes it less predictable in my opinion. My absolute favourite. 2.) Cyan Kicks - Dancing With Demons : It's a really good song and we know Cyan Kicks are great live so I have little worry about this one. I'm just not, personally, a fan of rock/metal so it doesn't appeal to me as much as Paskana and because of this is a decently distant second by personal taste. Of course, it does have poppy elements so it does help with that and I think pop lovers can still be attracted by their sound and it's probably why I still like it a lot. I think it might the song that has the most potential getting along with the most people out of all the songs in the selection, but at the same time it could hurt it a bit since it doesn't really fully commit to any genre but tries to get them all together, which it does successfully to me though. I just note that since I often see in comments people being slightly disappointed that it's not ''rock-y'' enough for them or such, although personally I really like it as it is. Might be the best choice for Eurovision although I'd be really curious to see how well would Paskana do because I think the public at Eurovision would respect it and juries would love it so hmmm... It's a bit of a struggle :s 3.) Jesse Markin - Glow : Another really good song, especially with a really good chorus that has a great, memorable and catchy melody. Not a fan of rapping at all but the song itself is really good. I guess I'm just slightly disappointed that he doesn't feel like singing in Finnish as well because I love how the language sounds but the English lyrics are overall pretty decent. Not necessarily fully for me because of the rap but just a really good quality song so it has to be noted. It does also have interesting sounds in it. I do think it's maybe on the safer side though overall and probably better as a great radio track than an Eurovision entry. 4.) Sini Sabotage - Kuori Mua : It's a good song with interesting sounds but not for me. The Finnish lyrics avoid being put off by them because the English lyrics are kind of... something xD. I don't have too much to say about this one apart from that I think it deserves the fourth place because, despite not being for me, it's just quality and it is a brave entry with experimental sounds. I'm just not sure I'm buying it at all personally. There's nothing really attracting me in this entry but it's still really qualitative and gets points from me for its originality, even if it's not for me, so I can't say anything bad about it. 5.) Sexmane - Mania : It's a good song but perhaps one of the more ''predictable''/formulaic-ish and mainstream ones in the selection. It's actually probably the song I could see first and foremost on the radio personally, which I don't mean as a bad thing of course. It is catchy and I still like the sound of it so that's good, although I do feel like it's less for me than Glow musically. It's also of course still really qualitative. I guess it's just probably the second song that surprised me the least apart from No Rules, the difference being I don't actually consider No Rules ''safe'' in that it doesn't go for a current sound. Overall, it's good, I just think it's one of the safer songs to me overall as well, probably with Glow being the second one of them because both feel the most mainstream to me and overall less surprising too, but Glow feels catchier to me and I remember the chorus' melody better than I do with this one. I just feel like it wouldn't fit as well as an Eurovision entry than a great radio track. 6.) Mikael Gabriel & Nublu - Vox Populi : I'm not sure what I think about this one at all, it's kind of my question mark song... It's interesting I guess but there's nothing I personally like in it. It's not for me. It's still quality and it's above the seventh placed song just because it is interesting. Not much else to add though, I'm a bit confused by this one actually xD 7.) Windows95man - No Rules : I do think it's a decent song because the production, for what the song is, is good, but its real strength lies in how enjoyable and carefree it is. It doesn't care about being taken seriously and it's just there to bring the party on and have fun, just be positive about pretty much everything. Unfortunately and although I know it's not what this entry goes for, if you do analyze it ''seriously'', well, there's not much actually interesting about it. It's a great addition to the selection but this shouldn't be a choice, unless Finland does want to just send something fun that references Eurovision 90's beats and isn't to be taken more seriously than just having fun with it. It does serve its purpose ! Really looking forward to what stagings these songs will have though... That will certainly be a deciding factor since, overall, even if some songs are less for me or such, it's an excellent selection overall, where all songs are at least up to a qualitative standard which is great

Great vid as always gorgeous 😘. First of all, I am absolutely obsessed with Finnish since Kaarija, what a super interesting and amazing language 😍😍. Then, wow wow, there is actually not one song that I really dislike from UMK 😱. And they are all so radioready! I really think we will be hearing more than one of these songs, winner or not, the coming months. And then, my humble opinion: Cyan Kicks - this is the rock I like 😁. Good strong guitar and percussion, good female voice (not shouty), lyrics that make sense and go further than gothministers (no offense) 5 same frases without a real meaning. My favourite of UMK. Sexmane - this is not for ESC but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it ! The guitar did elevate it even more. I went to his channel and I also like therest of his songs. But I am with you, that this is not for ESC. Sara - nice and that could do good in ESC. I was like you, didn't really know what to make of it, but after hearing it a few times, I started to like it better. Jesse - the sound of this song makes me happy and sticks in my head, yes. It's a bit repetitive after 2 minutes though. Windows 95 - this is SOOOO wrong and SOOOO Fire Saga 🤣🤣🤣. But I am unable to dislike it 🤣🤣🤣. Don't liiieeee Shane !!! That naughty smile and those blushing cheeks of yours say it all, you WILL dance on this on a Thursdaynight 🤣🤣🤣. Sini - I am sorry for you, but this is the one I like less, together with the next. But will I dance when it comes up, YES. Mikael & Nublu - this reminds me of the 90's, DJ Darkraver, Adidas tracksuit, Nike airs, shaved heads and "hakkûh" !!! Not my favourite, I was not a "gabber" in the 90's 🙃. Every Dutch person here will understand what I am talking about 🤣🤣

Ooof Shane, we are disagreeing a bit here. For me this is Sara or bust, if chosen it is likely to be a strong challenger for my Eurovision winner. It is easily my favourite of the NF season so far. Though not heard the Portuguese or German songs yet. I just love everything about it. The only other one I would even be happy with winning is 'No Rules' which you didn't vibe with at all, but I just loved the 90's throwback vibes in the song and music video. Cyan Kicks was a bit of a disappointment for me, not nearly as good as 'Hurricane'. Sini was alright, but yeah, not really crazy about it. Sexmane and Jesse were just fine and probably my two least favourites, and 'Vox Populi is probably similar to Sini, it's alright but not really crazy about it. If I was to venture a top 7 I would go with: 1. Sara 2. Windows95man 3. Cyan Kicks 4. Mikael Gabriel x Nubuli 5. Sini Sabotage 6. Jesse Markin 7. Sexmane But like I said, Sara is the only one I am really interested in winning here. She does seem to be the slight fan favourite from what I can tell, and I believe I have heard the song went down very well with the Finnish public. So I am a little bit hopeful here that she will take this. I certainly think she is the best chance of a strong result for Finland. I just think the other 6 will all ger shunned by the juries. Whilst 'Paskana' will do a 'Bridges' with the juries and I think there is a stronger televote for 'Paskana' then they was for 'Bridges' too. Anyways, I am keeping my fingers crossed that after a few more listens Sara sneaks her way to your top spot 🤣

I think this is a very interesting year for UMK as currently I feel that there is no clear frontrunner like we've had in previous years. It seems to me that Sara's got maybe the most hype behind her right now. But as you also said there's something to like in basically all of the songs, and I've heard a bunch of people say for any given song (except mayne Mania) that it's their favourite, so I'm expecting a close race. As for me personally, I have a hard time picking a clear favourite right now. I'll have to wait for the live performances and see who can bring their energy and singing to the stage best.

Cyan Kicks have competed at UMK in 2022, and now returning with probably a better song, and we know Finland do really well with rock pop songs, so Cyan Kicks have done that. The only problem with Sara Siipola to ESC, would be the semi finals because of the 100% televote semi finals and I know ballads tend to find it really hard to qualify. My favourite has to be Cyan Kicks because the music video is just so good! Sara's song will get people reminding of Tattoo and we know how Finland reacted to them loosing against it so I dont think theyd send something similar to Tattoo because of the 'plagarism'. CYAN KICKS for FINLAND 2024!

Sara's song doesn't stay with me as it stays with you, the melody is not captivating enough for me. I agree totally that the lyrics are mature, very important and mature. And the lyrics make this song special. It's hard to be captivated with it when you don't understand it. And most of the people that watch Eurovision will not understand. And I am telling this with all my "I love when songs are in native languages" attitude. For me - Cyan Kicks and very, very surprisingly to me - Windows95man and guys from Vox Populi. I have no idea why. I am a rock person. I am totally not Eurodance person (Although I'd cut myself for ability to go to Scooter concert when I was around 10). I think that they are just not very serious and I maybe need something not very serious in my life now :P

I must admit to finding this years UMK weaker to more recent years. Must be my taste. Cyan Kicks is the only one I really like, with a couple of others to enjoy. I also feel like Im missing something about Sara Siipola, the song is mid at best for me. And yet I’ve seen a lot of votes on KZitem by other reactors, put her as the favourite to win UMK 🫣

Tbh I dislike most of the genres in this year's selection. I don't listen to rap, get easily annoyed with 90s eurodance sound, and mostly Paramore type of rock, despite being an avid rock listener. So Paskana is the only song I genuinely enjoy. However, I do think that the production-wise, this year's songs are relatively strong. I also have an inkling that they might work well live. So imo this is not a weak year but can feel disappointing to us who enjoy more sentimental/melodic music.

Am I still dreaming, or DID SHANE JUST PICK THE ROCK SONG AS HIS FAVOURITE?! Are you well? And you just can’t have the same favourite as The Balkan Guy! Seriously, thanks again for great video and review. We are sorry we couldn’t give you another Keira or BESS, but it’s nice to see you appreciated our songs this year too. Personally, I’d find Cyan Kicks very dull pick to Eurovision, because that is what everyone in Europe awaits. Dancing with Demons is just too generig song for me although I agree with you that it is better than Hurricane (easily). My favourites are Sara Siipola and Jesse Markin. Jesse is not going to Eurovision if Israel participates (as it is based on the information the other day) so I go full on Sara. And if she nails the live I’m actually convinced it’s her who’s going to Malmö. Mikael Gabriel & Nublu are not a New Käärijä. Their song is really not that good imo and MG’s pro Putin and anti-vaxxer past is too heavy burden to carry. I can see already canceling in Twitter. It’s a bit shame because I like the idea UMK meets Eesti Laul, we should do more together with our Southern neighbor. Thanks again Shaun, enjoy your Eurovision season, I’ll follow it for sure! P.S. You gotta apply trademarks SAP and SAR (Shane approved Pop/Rock)

Hi There! Ok, it will be hard for me to rank these before seeing the live performances because I think it can be very important in these cases. My overall thought is that last year was better, slightly more diversity, but this also maintains a high standard. So don't take this ranking too seriously. 1. Jesse Markin - I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this song. Yeah, take it to the dance floor and I'm all for it!! 😍 This is so groovy, funky, joy, you just want to dance!! 😉 2. Sara Siipola - beautiful song, she seems to have a good voice. 3. Cyan Kicks - great song and what an artist, I need to see this live. However, "Hurricane" was better in my opinion. 4. Sini Sabotage - Cool song, but a bit too repetitive melodysequences. 5. Sexmane 6. Windows95man - It's fun. But growing up with E-Types anthems like "This is the way" with Nana Hedins amazing voice, unfortunately most of the same genre become a worse copy for me personally. I'm sorry!! 7. Mikael Gabriel & Nublu Good luck to all! 🌺

@@ShanesEurovisionReview Haha 😊 Yes, it was the song I vibed with the most on initial listen. I was so surprised because this is not something we normally hear in "Eurovision". But this is a sound I've danced to countless times at clubs. It's funky, a combination of afro-house, which makes me immediately want to dance. The rhythms are infectious and the beat in the song is heavy!! So uplifting! I've seen that I'm certainly not alone in liking this. For example, the KZitemrs Kostis and Roy PM praise this. Here in the comments, there is not much support for the song. Maybe it has something to do with him not going to participate if he wins, I dare not speculate. Oh god Shane, now we have to bunker up for a long evening. First Eesti Laul and then MGP 🤩💖. Enjoy!

Greetings from Finland. 😘 Thb, UMK 2024 is a huge disappointment for me. I find all of the songs more or less predictable, boring, mediocre at best. ☹️ Some of the songs I find irritating, trying way too hard to be something different. The only song that doesn't put me off is Saara Sipola's, but on the other hand, it wouldn't stand out at Eurovision.

For Finland, Eurovision has never been about winning. We’ve always been the most laughed at bunch, with people not appreciating our artists or entries. When Lordi stepped up, Finland had decided to stop pleasing Europe. After that, we have just chosen the best song to represent us and to have fun. For example we sent Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät to Eurovision because we wanted to support this punk band made of disabled men, to show Europe that equality and human rights are important and that we are not going to change or hide just because we are different. We have always been the oddity in Europe, as we have an unique language and no other country seems to be like us. So we are standing by ourselves, as we are and to be represented on an Eurovision stage, that in itself is a win for Finland.

I for one have no clear favorite, though I think Sini has a good song and the personality, if people would just see beyond their own fears of taboos and realize she’s speaking about deep conversations and not anything else.

Shane-accessible Rock made me chuckle🤣 Interesting you felt Dancing with the Devil was immediately better, as someone who’s winner back then was Hurricane i felt personally it was more immediate. However Dancing with the Devil defo gets better and better after every listen🔥 Wow Paskana had me hooked immediately, that voice and the Finish language paired with the instrumental… Incredibly well executed👏 Has to be a contender here and i think it could do something at Eurovision🧐 Grow is a nice vibe and i like the musical production within the song but i defo prefer MANIA as i click more with it’s chorus’ dynamism compared to hearing the word Glow so much… No Rules! Kindly totally not for me and my only skip from the selection🤣 Something sounded off to me with Kuori Mua especially on my first listen and i still can’t work it out after further listens, maybe there is just so much instrumentation going on that I don’t think fully meshes with the vocal🤷♂️ I knew i recognised that Mikael name from somewhere and it’s because i liked one of his songs from years ago called Helium, so i was looking forward to what he was bringing and fair to say Vox Populi i’m a fan👏 Super fun and catchy, i imagine this could go off on the stage and be absolutely epic🔥 My Ranking: 1. Sara 2. Cyan Kicks 3. Mikael & Nublu 4. Sexmane 5. Jesse 6. Sini 7. Windows95man I’ll be happy with any of my Top 3 winning tbh and i think the live performances could easily change that order on the night👍

(which is so sad bc i personally rly like the sound) and this also means he will Not get the same hype as kä did last year - ur ranking is sooo in line with most of twt??? im used to u being controversial lol - my personal pick for esc would be either cyan kicks or sara siipola

The man in red is Henri Piispanen, he was originally brought in to produce the song but sang the part for demo reel and then they just didn’t replace him. He is known as a voice actor for Finnish version of Paw Patrol, lending his voice to Chase. I feel he is the best part of that song and he never really was going to go to Eurovision until he ended up being admitted.

The thing with No Rules is that those kind of party songs were and are a big hit in the ninetees but the thing is, many entries like that are made with serious face. I feel this song is being undermined by the performance and just straight categorized as a humour act. Which it kind of obviously is, but it is also a banger and the singer is very good. I like it :)
