Post Covid, Finland has transformed from the joke of the Nordics to basically be ready to take over Sweden as the fandom's favourite country and UMK as the favourite NF. They were close to win on 3 occasions, most notably finishing second with Käärijä and 6th with Blind Channel and recently with Linda & Pete (despite the latter being the overwhelming favs to win). Which of the last 6 entries do you like the most? I left out Aksel because 2020 was cancelled and Erika should have won UMK that year anyway.
 
Dark Side and Jezebel are "Finland doing Finland" VERY well, but really it was 2023 that turned them into a real powerhouse, obviously with Cha Cha Cha but that whole national final line-up.

Ich Komme easily my personal favourite and she was really unfortunate not to make the top ten, but I watched the final performance back for the first time the other day and my god she really suffers from the crowd noise basically being turned to zero in Basel.

Liekinheitin, very polished and certainly welcome in a weak year, but I never bought it as a favourite. I don't think I've ever been so confident that a song so overwhelmingly favoured on every metric was never going to be anywhere near the win. I just didn't see why "people" would particularly care all that much. Finished respectably because there was a lot of dross, but I don't think I heard a single non-fan even mention it afterwards.
 
God what a RUN OF LIFE!

They really have been one of the few still pumping fresh blood through the withered arteries of the contest.
