Finland: Pernilla – När Jag Blundar


Pernilla, now there’s a name if we have a girl... or not. Can I just say how fantastic I think it is that so many countries are not singing in English? And I don’t mean Molovenglish or Armenenglish or anything like that. I mean, she could be singing her shopping list and I’d still think it sounds sexy. It has definite advantages. Unless you’re Dutch, because then I know what you’re singing about and “three apricots, a bunch of carrots and so many boxes of pasta” just doesn’t do it for me. This song could either be really memorable and moving or very boring and bland. I think I quite like it, though I hope they leave the distracting dancer at home. And invest in a pretty frock for Pernilla.
