Finland: Lili Lambert eliminated, Softengine qualifies directly to the final!

Finland kicked off their selection tonight, with the first heat of UMK taking place.

A total of 6 acts performed where one act qualified directly to the final, one act was eliminated and four acts will take part in the second change round. I think the most underwhelming performance tonight was Dennis actually - it's a sweet song but the performance was so boring. Here are the results:

Qualified to the final:

• Softengine – Something better

To Second Chance:

• Dennis Fagerström – My little honey bee
• Jasmin Michaela – Kertakäyttösydän
• Hukka ja Mama – Selja
• MIAU – God/Drug

Eliminated:

• Lili Lambert – Let me take you there

I'm disappointed that Lili has been sent home, but her song was boring and it wouldn't have stood out in Eurovision. My favourite from tonight was actually Hukka ja Mama. The second heat will take place next Saturday.
