It doens't matter if you send messages or call calls for the artist you find best. For example if Estonia has a good and entertaining performance and most of the voters like it, that doens't matter. The organizers ask Estonia if they have enough money to arrange this event next year, if no they just give Estonia 2nd place. That's how this system works.
When 2002 Finland didn´t win with this song I was sure that Finland will never win. But luckily we won with Lordi 2006. There is still some fairness in this world! This version wasn´t the best possible. Listen to the original version from Finnish finale. This song is great though I am not personally a fan of Laura. Anyway, thank you Laura for this song and great performance!
Ehm, fellas here. This sure was a good song and should've deserved far more better position than 20. This is just another proof how this competition works. Second of all Finland did not have enough money to organize such event as this, or atleast no interest. This said you probably now get the image of things. The arrangers of this competition simply choose the the winner among the good looking/sounding performance + if the country has enough money or interest to organize this event next year
Laura is one of the best singers Finland 'produced'. Enjoyed her performancy very much, even years after. Special compliments to the backing vocals; great team work (anyone know their names??)!
the guy is named gary revel jr. and you can find his own work in youtube also. he has been in the finnish preselections 3 times but never made it :( just search "gary revel" or "safe six" or both :D
I like it. I found this on accident....and OMG I love Tracy Lipp he is a very dear friend of mine and i LOVE AND ADMIRE HIM VERY MUCH!! Anything he touches is magical to me!
It was all rather tongue-in-cheek I guess, she does look quite different nowadays. Song ended low more or less because of the same reason Malene W. Mortensen never really gathered many points;
@wrigleys321 It came from a wrong country. In ESC many people only vote their favourite country not their favourite song. E.g. Russia always get a good result. Many russians live in their many neighbour countries and they would vote Russia anyway, not bebending on whether the song is good or not.
One of the best songs Finland has ever sent to Eurovision Song Contes! Love it! Time wasn't right for this song ang Laura's performance -which now seems sadly boring compared to Lordi etc...-but yet again Laura proved that she really is a great performer and artist. Her other songs are not my favourite, however...
the sad thing about this , besides the fact that it deserved so much better placing , is that she seems to be enjoying herself so much and giving her all and it's really cool to see such a confident , ( really ! ) tall , enigmatic looking lady having the time of herlife !
Laura is absolutely fantastic performer! Yes, I agree with other opinion before. She looks like a lesbian in that dress :) Perhaps we didn´t get much points for that. If she was he, we got winner!
I must be very tired xD I was reading the subtitles and thinking "who idiot subbed this thatäs full of typos".. and then I realized it wasn't Finnish but Estonian XDD.
you god damn russians think all good songs are from your stupid country. well guess what? they're not. so get over it. you can't sing cover songs in eurovision song contest. you have to sing a NEW song so... stop spreading bullshit!!
if you doubt that she doesn't have a strong enough voice, just listen to her song "kosketa mua". It is in the playlist next to the video on this page. the first one. It is a finnish song, a great one, I would have wanted it to be representing Finland this year, but Hanna got the votes from the young. Just listen and be amazed.

This is a translated version of the Russian song "Palyot" (Полёт) by Valeriya (Валерия) one of the most popular pop singers in Russia.
Everyone in Finland and the Baltics please don't take this comment the wrong way! It's just to provide information in case you want to find the original version and enjoy the great voice of Russia' own Valeriya!
Actually this song wouldn't have qualified for the esc if it was a cover version, so it's not possible that Valerija could have done her song first. This is the original version! Palyot was relaesed after the esc. I've heard Valerija's version from a finnish radio station that plays russian music and i think it's is as good as this one. I've heard that those two artist have exchanged some other songs too. Kisses from Finland
This is a good song and a good performer. It just goes to prove that you cannot predict what will win or even do well in Eurovision. Do accept however, that she did not look her best on the night! Should have done much better for Finland who now seem to think that a mock hard/soft rock entry is the best way forward.
Hmmm pretty good a song, but I don't like the performance, she looks so anxious and nervous and restless but perhaps addicts left without their drug just are that... Moving all the time might affect the quality of her voice, too.
this singer is not very beautiful but this song is amazing...I'm not gay but they could love it so much because when we heard it we can remember some songs so gays of 70's, 80's and 90's...I love it
