Eurovision 2010: Sisters are doing it for themselves in Finland
Finland 2010: And doesn't it just scream 'winner' at you?
The Finnish national final finished last night and the band Kuunkuiskaajat, fronted by sisters who bring to mind thoughts of those dreadfully tuneless twins for Your Country Needs You last year, will be giving it laldy in Norway with the rather unusual number Työlki Ellää.
It starts off rather folky, as though someone's decided to get an especially lacklustre wedding reception going with a bit of a sing-song round the accordion and there are certaimly signs of it having the desired effect among the audience members.
But is it a winner? Or even a song which will qualify to the final itself form the semi? There are still too many songs to be picked to make any concrete predictions, but let's just say that after clicking 'save' on this particular blog entry I won't be dashing to ladbrokes.com for a cheeky flutter.
And they look like such charming young ladies as well. So cruel.

Hey, this isn’t half bad…it’s wholly bad. A song that aims incredibly low…and misses. What happened Finland? You were the country who gave us the delights of Kirka and Rikki Sorsa (how I loved that melodeon). Was this load of old tosh really the best song you had on offer? To say this song is poor would be to miss the perfect opportunity to use the expression, TOTAL CRAP. I would advise Finland stay away for longer than one year in order to find something called a ‘song’.
First of many violins I suspect.....
Oh Laurent, you're being terribly harsh. Bizarrely, I actually quite like this and fair play to the Finns for actually singing in Finnish, which is hardly Europe's most melodic language...it might not get to the final, but I won't be pressing the skip button on the CD in the car
