[konstantinossss]

After hearing this song i felt like a hurt Finnish woman.
Meanwhile I am a guy from Greece!
MASTERPIECE 🇬🇷❣️🇫🇮

[aprilambrym]

I love the Käärijä effect that we are seeing this year, that you can sing in Finnish and people will listen and you can still rise to the top.

[easytoremembereasytodelete]

This is the one Finland. Yes, you are the kings of Rock, but now you can be the kings of Eurovision too. It's your choice.

[eemelikatajamaki]

Kyllähän tämänkaltaisia balladeja ollaan viisuissa ennenkin kuultu mutta tässä on sitä jotain jolla voitais erottuakin. Itsessään suomen kieli erottaa meidät jo muusta massasta. Positiivinen yllätys kaikin puolin. Ja kyllä tämä tunteellisuus vetoaisi varmasti myös muuhun Eurooppaan.

Nyt uskaltaa jo sanoa, että tämän sen on oltava, kun kaikki biisit ollaan saatu kuulla.

[jannesuono]

Every country should sing in their native language! Would be more interesting and artists could give more! There are so many beautiful languages in Europe! Subtitles are always there!

[YehoDrago]

Finland is really solidifying itself among the best in Europe. If this goes through to Eurovision and the jury and televoters appreciate it enough, I see it landing a top 10, but it's really big shoes to fill after cha cha cha. Finland deserves another win.

[unevaknou]

Mielenkiintonen aihe/näkökulma ja hyvin sanotettu. Tähän pystyy samaistumaa ihmiset ympäri Euroopan ja maailman, joten sanoisin, että this is the one tähän mennessä.

[francescopitrelli]

Tämä biisi on iso yllätys! Viime vuonna olin paskana ja nyt olen hiljalleen toipumassa, tunnen todella sanojen ja musiikin minussa resonoida. Kaunis ja voimakas biisi, hienoa taas Suomi.

[divine]

Can't stop listening to it, help me!😁 Guaranteed top5 material with a good staging and live vocals 💯
Finnish is so beautiful❤️

[andymart]

THIS IS THE SONG!!! I have no words to describe how I loved hearing this song for the first time. Finland you NEED to send this fr 😮

[GospodinNelson]

Love to see so many songs in Finnish, countries are slowly getting rid of fear of singing in native language and see it as a clear advantage unlike in safe 2010s when everyone sung in English.

[MallaMoija]

Sara oli mulle ihan tuntematon artisti, enkä odottanut paljon, kun tsekkasin pari biisiä. En tykännyt biiseistä, äänestä ja Paskana-nimikin kuulosti teennäiseltä. Sitten katsoin videon ja vollotin koko biisin läpi. :D Ihan mahtava, kaikin tavoin.

[TheJustme]

Finland could you please choose this awasome song for ESC2024 ♥ and you do not gonna have to dissapoint in rest of Europe. 12 points from Estonia.

[jiriaaltonen]

Voidaanko lähettää välillä vaihteeksi hyvällä äänellä varustettu Nainen; ihanan dramaattinen biisi, tosi hyvä melodia ja lauluääni super! Euroviisut on LAULUKILPAILU! ❤️ Mulla ainakin lähti heti listoille ja päivittäin kuuntelen monta kertaa, HUIPPU ❤️

[tobiassandqvist]

Sara Siipola for Eurovision 😍 One of the best and strongest songs I've heard in many years!!! Pure perfection ♥

[aitorroblesmorillas]

Hello FINLAND??? WOW, This Entry is the truth of feeling and power the music can transfer us!!! BRAVO SARA SIIPOLA AND YLE FROM SPAIN ❤🇪🇸

[mayden]

I think that's exactly what Finland should send in Eurovision. powerful anthem with a relatable message, sung by an outstanding vocalist. plus in national language. no need for the viewers to understand the lyrics, music remains about feelings and she's definitely transmitting the right emotion. Whatever the result would be, you could only feel proud with such a worthy representation

[otarqimeridze]

Finland pls send this to Eurovision, Love from Georgia 🇬🇪🇫🇮❤️🤍💙🤍

[christophergrevenerofficial]

This is the one - we need this in Malmö with a huge staging! Totally different direction than Käärijä and I think thats what we need ❤

[artursemilsvaljus]

12 points from Latvia 🇱🇻🔥💕🇫🇮 This is the winner 👍🙏
