– This was a flop.
– This was fine, but I’m so sad now.
– Antti should have won.
– Pete’s voice was not as good as I expected. There is still time to improve. I’m just saying how things are. No hate.
– I didn’t like the winner. Antti should have won
– Thank you Antti Paalanen, second place is fantastic. Too bad there was no profit. Next year to new and winning.
– Voting was unpleasant because most of the shows were poorly filmed. Komiat and Pete and Linda were reasonably portrayed. That’s why it was really hard to figure out who you should vote for based on the presentation. And in Eurovision, the stage show is 70 percent of the performance.
Some of the UMK viewers would have rather given the victory to Antti Paalanen. Elle Laitila
On the other hand, the victory of Lampenius and Parkkonen did not come as a surprise to some.
– For the second time in a row, the UMK winner was known as soon as the list of performers was published.
– Will it come as a surprise to everyone that the most viewed UMK song wins?
– Heh, heh, I already guessed the winner in the first meters.
– You already knew this a little in advance. I was pretty sure of winning when I heard this for the first time! And this one might have a chance to make it!
Many of the viewers, on the other hand, are satisfied with the duo’s victory.
– Don’t complain that it was unfair when the best won.
– This went right!
– Thank God that Takatukka didn’t win.
– Linda and Pete are going to conquer the European audience!
– Yes, I hope we win Eurovision.
– A well-deserved victory!
– Now there is a high-quality and elegant mood. Pat on the back.

Some also suggest improvements to the duo’s Eurovision performance. Flames, furniture and a cupboard were seen in the UMK performance.
– Now we have to make something else for the stage show than that terrible chicken cage!
– In the Eurovision, Pete and Linda on stage closer together like at the end of UMK.
– Pete’s shirt off!
– Pete still needs to practice singing.
– Yes, now we have to get Pete out better.
– Then dancers for Eurovision and a proper explosion to the end!
Some of the viewers especially hope that Pete Parkkonen’s role will grow in the show. Elle Laitila
