Finland: The results of the first episode of Viisukupla – Eurovisionsbubblan!

The first episode of Viisukupla – Eurovisionsbubblan took place on Saturday, April 23rd, where 14 of this year’s Eurovision entries were evaluated by the audience and the panel of judges.

The Finnish preview show is presented by Märta Westerlund and Katri Norrlin. Permanent members of the panel are Eva Frantz and Mikko Silvennoinen, while every week there will be two guest judges. In this episode we saw Petra Laiti and Benjamin Peltonen. The audience and the panel of judges could vote for each entry by choosing a color. Green when they liked it, yellow when the song left them with neutral emotions and red when they did not like it.

The results of the judges:

1. It is impressive that for their participation, Jezebel, there were conflicting reactions, since one of the judges stated that he did not like it, while another was neutral.
2. The winners of the judges’ vote were Sweden, Ukraine and the Netherlands with 4/4 positive votes.
3. The Czech Republic received very good reviews, with three positive votes. A good sign for the participation of We Are Domi, since they participate in the same semifinal as Finland.
4. San Marino was the only participant that received 4 negative votes from the judges.
5. Switzerland and Latvia followed with 3 negatives.

Audience results:

1. It is even more impressive that the Finnish public does not seem to be crazy about Jezebel either, since only 17% voted that they like it, with most declaring it neutral (67%).
2. The winner in the public vote with 84% is the participation of Ukraine.
3. The Netherlands was very high with 80%, while the Czech Republic was also high in the public preference with 77%.
4. Last in the public vote is Switzerland, where only 3% said they like it.

Next Saturday, April 30, the second episode of Viisukupla – Eurovisionsbubblan, where 13 more entries this year will be evaluated.
