PJXTRA 21: FL 2000s (done, dusted, dead)

This was almost going to be my choice for the side theme, which would kind of be cheating since I've entered it in PJ00s, but also would kind of not be cheating because I made the (questionable?) decision to enter the Radio Edit, which basically cuts out the first half of the song. But I'm posting it here instead because I ended up coming up with something else.

No idea how this did, but that's a belated 12 from me. WOW.
 
Ruveals today?
But we need a veto panelist to actually send their votes!

Entries I guessed correctly:

EDGÄR - Réveille-moi // berserkboi
Key - Killer // Untouchable Ace
ATARASHII GAKKO! – OTONABLUE // TéléDex
Johanna Amelie & Moritz Krämer - Bunt hier // DominoDancing
Monique Smit - Wild // Sprockrooster


Can't really predict who could win this. Maybe Key or Alessandra, not sure.

And I decided to send something I originally had in mind for PJSC but the song only becomes eligible with the next round, so why not send it right away. "Furore" was the big comeback single from Paola & Chiara (also a national final entry for Italy) and it's a catchy disco-inspired banger that I had on repeat for a while. Hopefully the participants are here for the bops again.

I've loved Värttinä for almost two decades now, they were another discovery made in my halcyon Björk 4um days, after a friend of mine from there posted one of their songs. It was the first time I ever heard the Finnish language and I fell in love!

I have most of their albums now, along with a fair number of other Nordic "alterna-folk" albums from the NorthSide label, which is unfortunately no longer in business but was based in my city and their releases were pretty easy to find locally. This stuff just scratches an itch for me, similar to my love of Slavic folk singing.

When I've shared this band with others, they usually have a pretty extreme "love it or hate it" reaction. I've been waiting to send them in here to see how they play, and I thought the powerful blast of springtime pollen that is "Nahkaruoska" fit this time of year perfectly.

~ Absolutely gorgeous. The way this sounds like it could've been released in any decade from 60s onwards. Beautiful and memorable melodies, the melancholy feel, the unique whispery quality to the vocals and whimsical instrumental - I feel extremely baited by this one. Definitely the best song in this round (yes, including my own entry).
