Just a random thought about KUUMAA's UMK journey this year
Knowing that Kuumaa had a "serious but not too serious" approach, I assumed that they joined UMK this year only with the intention of broadening their audience without necessarily making it to Eurovision in Liverpool. It is considering that they're already getting domestic success and that international eurofans are following the national finals.
I really loved their UMK performance, but I believe that they could have done better with their staging considering they were going against the likes of Käärijä, Portion Boys, or Robin Packalen.
If they were serious about aiming to win UMK, they would've gone all out with their visuals. Their costumes (the blue jumpsuits) and LED graphics at their live gigs (see their YleXPop performance) would've given them a more distinct look needed for them to be easily recognized at ESC. Although I understand that they didn't use any of these as their new album isn't out yet at the time they were in UMK, and they don't want to spoil anything.
Käärijä really was the perfect choice for Liverpool, but Finland should be very proud especially of their UMK lineup this year. They all gained a fan and I'm not sure if the Kuumaa boys would want to do UMK again, but if they do, I'll support them all the way. Their songs are so good, and the band is charismatic, pls do check them out if you haven't!
I think more people deserves to see this
