Blind Channel won Finland’s national selection in a landslide, which is a win for late 90s early Naughties rock. When I first heard this song I thought of Evanescence and Korn, which sounds like a meal that you’ve paid too much for. This years song is a long way from the more standard Eurovision song that was due to go to Eurovision last year.
Unlike last years entry, this years did not get their career via a talent show, well until the Eurovision selection UMK. Meh, this years song is better than some.
Finland’s Eurovision history started with a lot of solo artists, then they went to duos and even had a solo artist with a duo. It wasn’t until 14 years after their first Eurovision that they decided to send a band and this is what they sent in 1975
