Finland (Eurovision 2007 Preview)

Hanna: "Leave Me Alone"

On the opening riff you think the song is going to be cool. Then it isn't.

You think it's going to be some sort of metal thing with a guy channeling the voice of L Ron Hubbard. But it's a chick singing with a generic rock voice. And the rock loses its edge once the power of the riff abates. Then it drags on. Then it closes with about 2 measures of the riff, a sad reminder of unfulfilled promise.
