According to wikipedia, "'Circle of Light' tells about how in the midst of danger or uncertainty you imagine a protective circle of light around yourself, one which no evil can pass. The power of thought makes an intolerable situation tolerable. People across Europe - regardless of age, nationality, or life situation - can surely identify with this topic." :)
To all Finnish people out there, start voting for EMMA at the website of Yle. Finns can vote now for her. She needs your support! The local juries of Finland might choose "Paradise" over her. She's the strongest option for Finland. I'm Filipino so I can't vote for her here. But I'm supporting her with everything that I have.
+blondboybc sorry for the term. I mean the expert panel that viewed and listened to the songs. They seem to prefer that song. Now, if international juries which are made up of "expert" personnel, are going to vote, I think the catchy one would win the other half of the final vote. The only feasible way we can help EMMA win is by voting her on the public televote; and she must have a landslide win on that half of the vote so we can assure a 50% victory for the "Circle of Light" :)
Canaan Blitz I think Emma was clever choosing the girl in this video because she is a Finnish youtube star Pinkku Pinsku who has nearly 200k subscribers (mainly 11-16 years old girls and they are Finnish). And I'm almost certain that she will promote the song and tell people to vote for it!

+Elvis Antero Really? Glad to know I'm not alone 😘 Filipino rakas, #TeamEMMA and her "Circle of Light" will go and win Eurovision Song Contest for Finland!
If this won't represent my country this year, it's possible that I'll never watch UMK again. Not choosing this would be a terribly wrong decision for a third year in a row. I love this song.
Omg this is the best video 😻 It seems like a song for a dystopian movie! It's very very good and i wouldn't mind if this wins, plus she's so pretty and i love how she says "rakas" ✨
Love the parts in the snowy forest, just wish the whole video took place there and the "modern" parts were left out ;) But apart from those, a great video.
+olvi Give a better option for success. Paradise? A sng about eating pussy? Hmmm... Or perhaps the 3 troll entries? Ass club, Gunthrr and Caveman. Yeah sure. Alva, Anni Saikku and Zuhlke are fine, but not strong enough. Helppo Elämä is in Finnish so no. And Blackbird is the only one I would be ok with outside of this song, but I doubt Europe cares for a song like that too much.
Agree❤️More than three years and this still my favourite song ever... One year or another I feel that she will comeback to Umk and get that trophy ✨💫❤️
Emma has to win UMK2017 and represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest! This is such a good song compered to previous UMK winners. It slightly reminds me Greta Salóme from Iceland and has some Irish influences. The video is good and I would give her 12 points! Unfortunately we are Finland so it's possible that we will send a bad song to Kiev. However I am glad we have international juries so we have a chance.
are you Finnish? If we are not sure about how she'll weight on the jury vote, we should let her win on a landslide at the public vote. We should also let international media interact with the song :) She can and will win UMK and eventually bring back Eurovision Song Contest to Helsinki.
ESC Brasil Last two years of Finland: 2015 - We sent some people, who performed a punk song. It was terrible, and Europe doesn't like punk that much. The winner had a pop song, sooo... Oh, and two of them had down syndrome, one had williams syndrome, and one had autism. 2016 - The song was ok, but not that good. The singer was even worse, couldn't hold the notes, and fucked up the singing. If we would have sent Saara Aalto we could have gotten to the finals. (she almost won X Factor UK in 2016)
She's fantastic. Please, Finland, send this talented girl with an amazing song. "No Satan will ever cross the line, we are praying in a circle of Bibles!"
Amazing song, beautiful music video that tells a story and watching some of her interviews , most importantly Emma is a very sweet and down to earth person. Finland don't mess it up again!! Saara deserved to represent u last year but please don't get it wrong again....#TeamEmma
Pity, such a lovely song not to participate in the ESC 2017, I felt sorry for Emma, all of went wrong in the night of final. Was the best song of UMK 2017. End would like to see Emma winner UMK 2018 with an even better song Keep trying Emma.
+opa video YLEn raadilla ei onneksi oo osaa eikä arpaa tämän vuoden valinnoisa. Pelkästään kansäinvälinen jury, joka aikalailla varmistaa että tämä valitaan.
This video reminds me a lot about a woman I see when visiting Rome. She was a fire performer named Alexandra who did amazing things with kerosene--entire dance movements--and it was such an incredible sight. When I talked to her afterwards, she was such a friendly person who talked about how she has been in Italy for a long time coming from another country. I hope she is doing alright. And memories aside, what happened at the end? Did the assassin shoot a gun or shoot an arrow? It looks one way but sounds like another.
No! Wait! International juries decide 50% of the PUBLIC vote, and thus 25%. These are the results: 1. My First Band - Paradise - 42 2. Emma - Circle of Light - 40 3. Zühlke - Perfect Villain - 38 4. Norma John - Blackbird - 34 5. Alva - Arrows - 34 6.Club La Persé - My Little World - 28 7. Lauri Yrjölä - Helppo Elämä - 26 8. Anni Saikku - Reach Out For The Sun - 26 9. Günther & D’Sanz - Love Yourself - 24 10. Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri-La Rubies - Caveman - 14
Oh man if this one, the staging would be absolutely superb with a snow setting and pyromaniac stuff. It would be like being in a tavern in Skyrim or something xD
Emma was the chosen one of the televote, sweeping with score, My first band in second position. But last year Sandja was 3rd in televoting and favorite of the jury and she won UMK 2016. Then, it is very possible that I won My First Band because they are the favorites of the jury ... or Zühlke, and I do not like it. It would be so unfair if she does not win ... Emma is the most deserved winner of this year to represent Finland
Even 3 and a half years later, this is one of my all-time favorite songs.... I still listen to it every day!!
Same 5 years later
came back 6 years later, still amazing.

This means she will and must be the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017
Not a chance XD

3 years later after your comment and im still here

+Elvis Antero Really? Glad to know I'm not alone 😘 Filipino rakas, #TeamEMMA and her "Circle of Light" will go and win Eurovision Song Contest for Finland!
She is perfect for Eurovision,she must win😍😄
She absolutely needs to represent Finland!
#Vte4Emma
#RakasWeAreFine
I swear if Finland doesn't choose this song i will never watch UMK ever again.
StormRaiser245 I came to see the hype behind this song and well .. tbh its not my piece of cake. id say we finns are more into heavy metal etc
Who else is here after she lost?
escDisney Calling
Me 😭
Dragana Ristic
I am here now :))
Me
Who else has her as music teatcher
I'm Filipino and I want this want to win, not just UMK, but Suomi's second Eurovision Song Contest! Please Finland vote for EMMA!!
Only if the live is any good :P If it isn't then my pick would be My First Band or Lauri Yrjölä
+Trobl Pussy eating song or a song in Finnish. Meh.
KnifingGame What's wrong with both of those things? ;) I know you would like them both...
Trobl We'll never do well with a song in Finnish, and you can't really take a song seriously when it's about eating pussy.
KnifingGame But if it was about eating a dick it would be okay? 98% chance that a kid watching the show wouldn't even notice any lyrics of the songs.
This is awesome. The best music video for a Eurovision song! Great job, Finland. Excellent job, Emma! This will be the winner this year!
Hopefully yes... Though the Finnish taste is so unpredictable, I've already heard comments like this is "too Eurovision", LOL1
Best song, Best video, if this doesn't win I will be shocked!
Maxxy Rainbow I'm afraid that she will be just like Saara Aalto.. She won televote but jury ruin her chance.
Padma GTV the jury will be international according to my knowledge :)
Santeri I know that but still :D
Prepare to be shocked
100% agree max!
Such a bop !!! still coming back after 5 years
Amazing video and perfect song! Finland needs to send this song to ESC
Winner !! The best 💫🔥#kiev2017 #winnerESC2017
If this won't represent my country this year, it's possible that I'll never watch UMK again. Not choosing this would be a terribly wrong decision for a third year in a row. I love this song.
Omg this is the best video 😻 It seems like a song for a dystopian movie! It's very very good and i wouldn't mind if this wins, plus she's so pretty and i love how she says "rakas" ✨
I may be three years late but may I say I love this song and why isn't it on Spotify or Pandora!
It's on spotify 🤗 Emma-Circle of Light or you can search the umk 2017 playlist ♥️🔥
@@Andrea-vf9cs ah it must not be avaliable in the united states unfourtanetly
Okay, now I really think, we have chances to win if we choose Emma to Kiev. Let's vote Emma to Kiev
pff ei vitus, club la perse
Love the parts in the snowy forest, just wish the whole video took place there and the "modern" parts were left out ;) But apart from those, a great video.
Yeah.. it kind of ruins the feel of everything
florenna she explained this music video in an interview with wiwibloggs! check it out

Najbolja pesma do sad, koja može da predstavlja neku državu na ESC
We could climb up to top-10 with this. Gonna support this at UMK17 final. Fingers crossed for Emma!
lol, no.

+jay random Good one
It’s almost 2020 and this is still lit👌😞
Agree❤️More than three years and this still my favourite song ever... One year or another I feel that she will comeback to Umk and get that trophy ✨💫❤️
It's already 2023 and this is lit in my opinion.♥️

Finland, if this will be in the contest, you've got my vote. Greetings from Czech Republic!
My vote 2, from Sweden!
Still listen this masterpiece ❤
Did you know that finnish word "rakas" means "my love"/"darling"? :) #teamrakas #finnish
PLEASE SEND THIS!! THIS ACTUALLY VOULD WIN THE WHOLE EUROVISION! FINLAND NEEDS THE SECOND WIN!
Kimmo J Hou Will not win because only Sweden or Russia can win this year onward. Even though their songs sucked. They will score to top.
FannomacritaireSuomi if loreen wins melodiefestival we already know who wins esc 2017
venken bjorn DO NOT TELL ME SHE'S COMPETING AGAIN
yes she is competing again
FannomacritaireSuomi i have good news loreen failed but the song that won is already high in betting odds
Perfect videoclip.
Amazing 👍. I believe that this song can win the eurovision.
How to fall in love with a song because of just one single word, "Rakas"! Or, as I say it, Rrrrrhakas!!
Good luck with UMK final, you deserve it!
This is the best thing from Finland since Lordi. She must go to Eurovision and bring back Finland on top.
Love this song forever....
Amazing Song. With Good Staging I Belive It Cat Be Top 5!
she needs to come back and slay
Well this is an obvious winner! ❤️
Emma and Circle of Light are a perfect example how ESC representative should sound and look!!!Go Emma for the win!!!
she needs to win! ♥
Still in love with this song, it it was to compete on the ESC this year it would've been my winner. What a shame.
Winner!!! :)
WInner baby'! Love it12 points from Israel
this is the best song from Finland ever in my opinion!! awesome song and the best video this year!!! 😍😉
Best video in UMK 👍❤
Beautiful video! This would be a great choice.

Legend27 No it won't
Legend27 i think they have international jury

Legend27 international taxi drivers lol
blondboybc We had asphalt men last year.
Best Song
Best Lyrics
Best Video
Best choice for Finland. ♡
But we are retarded when it comes to voting. Finland sucks at picking the right songs.
pianofani Please! Don't tell it to me.
I'm sure you will do the right choice this time. :)

2015 - We sent some people, who performed a punk song. It was terrible, and Europe doesn't like punk that much. The winner had a pop song, sooo... Oh, and two of them had down syndrome, one had williams syndrome, and one had autism.
2016 - The song was ok, but not that good. The singer was even worse, couldn't hold the notes, and fucked up the singing. If we would have sent Saara Aalto we could have gotten to the finals. (she almost won X Factor UK in 2016)
ESC Brasil Agree :)
Inb4 Saara Aalto will represent UK one year XD
PLEASE FINLAND, choose this!! Love you and your song Emma
This has the best chance of winning in May! Hope this wins! Good luck from your friends in Sweden :)
The best.
I beg you Finland, please choose Emma. Love from Brazil 💜
Amazing video for an amazing song! ❤
My favourite song of the national Finals this year. I LOVE IT !!!
I can't imagine the Eurovision this year without this song! #teamrakas
I’m so sad she wasn’t chosen, this was so perfect! ): i still come back to it every now and then, she’s my winner!
Love from Poland 💞
12 points from Poland to Finland! :) Go Emma!
A duel between Emma and Loreen 2017 in ESC! Would be exciting :)
This is actually very good song. Absolutely best choice. Top 1-10 stuff.
My favourite song! Good luck! She is my winner. kisses from Spain
Es mi favorita ❤️ me encanta 😻
I love the song
You are winner for me
Good luck from Spain!!!
Rakas❤❤❤❤❤❤💕❤❤❤
She's fantastic. Please, Finland, send this talented girl with an amazing song.
"No Satan will ever cross the line, we are praying in a circle of Bibles!"
I heard Satan is unemployed nowadays. They don't really need him anymore to do the evil.
Unfortunately not in live (because technical problems she didn't hear her own voice through earphones)
Shes my music teatcher!✨
Where do you study!? I'm interested :D
This SONG reminds me Greta Salome's song "HEAR THEM CALLING"
Tykkää jos huomasit Pinkku Pinskun👍
i love this song so much! it's also on my nightcore channel
Finland,if you don't send this....i wish u to stay in the semi,again!

Toivottavasti oot oikeessa.
Kusi Paska nii tais mennäkki
If this gong wins the UMK, will be the favorite to win Eurovision this year...
12 points from Romania :)
This should have been Finland's song for Eurovision 2017!! We actually would have had a chance to win!!!
This is the best!
Please, choose this song this year Finland! 12 points from Spain
12 points from Poland
I love this song
Absolutely great!!!!! GO FINLAND!!!!!
7 years later still listening to this banger
This video reminds me a lot about a woman I see when visiting Rome.

When I talked to her afterwards, she was such a friendly person who talked about how she has been in Italy for a long time coming from another country. I hope she is doing alright.
And memories aside, what happened at the end? Did the assassin shoot a gun or shoot an arrow? It looks one way but sounds like another.
Ianus the video is in 2 different time zones so in the past he got killed with an arrow in the future with a bullet
Best one!
Finland! Choose this tonight pleaseeee
No! Wait! International juries decide 50% of the PUBLIC vote, and thus 25%. These are the results:
1. My First Band - Paradise - 42
2. Emma - Circle of Light - 40
3. Zühlke - Perfect Villain - 38
4. Norma John - Blackbird - 34
5. Alva - Arrows - 34

10. Knucklebone Oscar & The Shangri-La Rubies - Caveman - 14
Oh man if this one, the staging would be absolutely superb with a snow setting and pyromaniac stuff. It would be like being in a tavern in Skyrim or something xD
please all finns vote for her tomorrow!
The best❤❤💎💎💎
absolutely a fantastic song to represent Finland in Kiev. It would end very high... potential winner?!?!
Dear Finns, If you choose this, I will use 10 votes on Finland this year, Best Regards from Germany
Emma was the chosen one of the televote, sweeping with score, My first band in second position. But
last year Sandja was 3rd in televoting and favorite of the jury and she
won UMK 2016. Then, it is very possible that I won My First Band
because they are the favorites of the jury ... or Zühlke, and I do not
like it.
It would be so unfair if she does not win ... Emma is the most deserved winner of this year to represent Finland
