FINLAND 🇫🇮 Finnish national broadcaster kicks off umm 2021 through which the country will decide the artist and song for Eurovision 2021.
UMK 2020 winner Aksel Kankaanranta will be given a ticket to the final (fair).
There will e two phases. In the first phase there will be a preselection by a professional jury and then the national final. Submissions will kick off in June.
This time YLE calls all artists to submit their interest instead of inviting the broadcasters favourite singers.
To be honest we don’t like the 2020 Finnish entry at all (especially in comparison with the runner up one) but it’s the most fair to say that YLE did the best thing by giving Aksel one more chance.
In the meantime, Aksel is signed up with a new record label and he is turning into indie-pop music.
