Eurovision 2017: Finland

Finland hasn't been one of the most successful Eurovision countries in the past few years, so listening to this year's entry was a surprise.

Norma John   "Blackbird"

The dark, moody song by the duo Norma John isn't like any other song in the contest.   Instead of tending towards the pop sensibilities of today, the son brings to mind the music of Eva Cassidy--not a name you necessarily associate with the Eurovision Song Contest.

Sadly, this song in another song that could easily not qualify, since there are more Eurovision fan friendly songs in the contest and that makes me sad, since it's one of my three favorite songs in the contest and I'd willingly spend a bit of money to vote for it.
