Finland’s looking back: Reviewing UMK 2020

Finland returned to an open version of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu this year, deciding that Aksel Kankaanranta would have gone to Rotterdam. But with that dream now over, what did we think of the songs that didn’t quite make it?

Michael, Liam and special guest Robbie shared their thoughts on one of the year’s best national final competitions.

Who had the queer content that JOY needs?

What did Robbie think of the vocals?

Were the bears worthy winners?

Make sure you vote for your favourite too!
