Autio says they were “mildly amused” by Yle.
– Isn’t it mainly half of the coalition youth who thought, and the other half was the opposite? Autio ponders.
– Why not think of sex as a normal thing? He wonders.
How much does this huge amount of criticism affect the planning of Vikman’s Eurovision Song Contest?
– I can say that in no way. We will have much less criticism than thanks, the main producer replies.
– That’s why I’m a little surprised by this because we have received a lot of praise for how well UMK went. And how great it was that Erika won the competition, he continues.
According to Aution, they have discussed some criticism with Vikman, but have not been left “stuck there.” Finally, Autio sends a huge message to those who thought Vikman’s performance was too sexy.
– I would tell them the people have spoken. There were so many votes that there was not much to do with it, says Autio.
