Passionworks feat. Tony Turunen - Surrender (almostESC Finland 2009)

After two whole years of not winning the ESC Finns realized again, that it's impossible to win with heavy music. So we gave Waldo a chance to make a big comeback - which ended up as good as Jasmine did in 1996, into the final with jury votes and placing last there.
This dance music slip up cost Passionworks a lot, since their awesome heavyrockpowerballad 'Surrender' never made it into the big show.

This was the second time when a member of the Turunen family ended up in 3rd place in national final (Tarja in Nightwish 2000, her brother Tony here)

So awesome. Should have won! It's a pity the singer had a sore throat (or so) on the night of the final :(

[proGoalie88]

@Imp1981 actually I think that gave them more votes.. She really sounded sick and even ephasized that by trying to sing all the most challenging parts. But that raspy voice sounded kinda cool too..

[BorisBrate]

can;t wait for new celesty album.... tony is theirs new singer.... it will be great!

[proGoalie88]

@BorisBrate Where did you get the info about Tony? I tried to search their home page but there was nothing about this news..

This song deffinetly should have represented Finland in 2009 ESC. The song is amazing and Passionworks is awesome.
