In the past, Finland didn’t get much a rap for their Eurovision selection competition. It used to be a poor cousin to the other Nordic contests, but the Fins have stepped it up over the last few years. They’ve turned Uuden Musikiin Kilpailu, or UMK, into one of the national finals to watch.
Michael, Liam and eventually Io preview the seven possibilities for Liverpool in this episode. You can enjoy UMK via Yle Areena at 8pm CEST on Saturday 25 February, or 6am on Sunday 26 February if you’re on the Aussie east coast.
How gay do the Finns get?
What do Liam and Io disagree on this time?
What curse might befall a favourite?
