I agree that there was a slight disconnect between the bubble and gp, but cmon UMK did have an insane glowup, six years ago they were producing straight NQs every year. In the 2020s Finland has 3 top10 results and one 11th. They’re basically doing better than anyone but 🇮🇹🇸🇪🇺🇦
I actually mean it, though. there's very clearly a disconnect between what the eurofans think of their songs and how the general public perceives them. the narrative about Finland/UMK having an insane glow-up or working hard for that win doesn't exist outside of our little bubble
