Idols Finland Season 6, It's back, early 2012! - Finnish Idols- merged Options

[Mysteriosa]

Some front runners who made it to theater round 2.

Torsten Borg
Dennis Ståhl
Petri Piippo
Heikki Tuomi
Ina Forsman
And everybodys favourite and maybe next winner: Diandra Flores

These are only auditions clips and not so HD-quality because MTV3 really likes delete videos from youtube. But atleast somebody sees the trouble for uploading them.

And The Voice of Finland battles starts tomorrow. Here is some my favourites:
Mikko Sipola (SOOOO my winner!)
Saara Aalto
Jesse Kaikuranta
Karoliina Kallio
Lauri Mikkola

Thanks.

A few people with guitars, I like that. I was surprised at how big a voice Dennis had. Diandra has a nice deep voice. Lots of potential in these people. No one I actually don't like.

Oh, I think your Voice has some better people than the US one. I really like the song Mikko did and he did a great job of it. Wow, Saara did a whole lot of technically difficult stuff, and kind of showed off at the end. I notice your judges don't hesitate to turn around when they're impressed. Jesse was pretty good, he's got a nice tone in his voice. It's still funny to me how they all sing in English and then suddenly go super Finnish afterwards!

What the hell is Saara doing in this show? I've her album, never thought she was trying for this show.

She is trying everything. First she tried Finland's Got Talent, then Eurovision and now this. I don't know why she is trying winning this because I just checked her site, and she already has gigs.

Yeah, and an album which is really good. Still, I don't mind her here, I'm backing her, she's great

[Fin-Idol]

Should I make topic of Voice? It's easier to watch because someone uploads videos to youtube? Anyway, here is last nights battles:

The Voice of Finland - Nelli Järvelä vs. Selja Felin - Sun Särkeä Anna Mä En
Henrika Ignatius vs. Lauri Mikkola - Moves Like Jagger
Heidi Akselin vs. Valerie Nyholm - Only Girl in the World
Kimmo Härmä vs. Ilmo Ylinärä - Hard to Handle
Johanna Mäkelä vs. Tanja Vähäsarja - Hölmö rakkaus
Isabella Hammarsten vs. Bettina Hammarsten - Lady Marmelade

Omg that Isabella Hammarsten is HOT!

WTF, Artur was send home and Dennis quit.

Next week is last theater round and top 15 show where public and judges decides finalists. Result show is on february 26. I don't understand why they can't reveal finalists in same day. After this, next episode is all about finalists and finals starts march 11. Wow, how boring is that?

Why was Artur sent home? They didn't think he was good enough? Dennis quit? What?

Maybe they need time between when they decide and when they announce it, in case someone changes their mind. They seem to be making it spread out.

[Fin-Idol]

Whoops, my bad. Artur was NOT eliminated last week. He actually made it to the top 15
Diandra was amazing today. She blew everyone out of the contest with her "Set Fire To The Rain". Heikki was amazing too. His rock scream was so scary This is interesting season. Girls talent is good, so maybe we finally get new female winner. That hasn't happened since season 1. Or is it like last year? Girls rocked but they were voted out first in finals.

Here is whole top 15. Just click the pictures. I'm too lazy to upload pictures to anywhere

Idols TOP 15 song choices: http://blogit.stara.fi/chaostube/?p=13796

I really like Ina, Artur and Diandra.


And I don't think there's any rules to who can audition for The Voice, there are crapload of professional singers other than Saara Aalto competing, she's not the only one. (and I still think Finland should have sent her to ESC last year instead of that Paradise Snoozefest Oskar). Karoliina Kallio anyone? Mia Renwall performed years in FORK (an accapella show) at Svenska Teatern in Helsinki etc. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't The Voice meant for semipros and professionals instead of amateurs anyway? I haven't really seen those "I've never performed in public" type singers in TVOF, at least not that many. Most of them already have some kind of careers as musicians although they're not household names.

Saara is so amazing... she's the voice. I've seen her a couple times live on small gigs and she just kills it, no matter whether she's performing at the club, outside at the park or in freezing cold weather in December. I'm so glad she took part in this... I immediately recognized her in those eaaarly TVOF commercials last year.

What happened to Finnish Idols? The only one singing rock was Estonian (I loved him tho).

I liked Diandra, Niina, Susanna and Sini too.

This season might turn interesting... I thought there were people that were above average Finnish talent and then people that way below average,

[Fin-Idol]

Diandra She is amazing. I like her more every week. She is winner material for sure
Tiina was good too. Her Carrie Underwood song was perfect for her voice. What happened to Heikki? I liked him but seriously, singing Coldplay? I hate Coldplay.

[Fin-Idol]

Diandra Flores - Set Fire To The Rain
Diandra Flores - Hurt

Can you upload the Top 15 show? I can't watch the performances on the site

[Fin-Idol]

Can you upload the Top 15 show? I can't watch the performances on the site

What does it say? I can't watch them either with Firefox, but Chrome works fine. This user uploads some performances to youtube.

And we know top 10 finalists now. Here they are

[mds]

I can't watch them cause I'm not in Finland and it's unavailable in my location. And I saw that channel, the quality isn't good though and not all the performances are uploaded

[Fin-Idol]

This is not even contest anymore. Last night was first final where they singed their audition songs. Very boring night but Diandra once again blew others away. She is just amazing! And Petri Piippo was first one to go home.

Here is Diandra's most talked performance "I Have Nothing" Even Laura said it was best performance even in Finnish Idols

Is there any chance to follow this season outside of finland? The youtube channel only uploaded some of the Top 10 performances (Ina, Diandra and Tiina) but i would love to watch the rest and the Top 9 performances.

[Fin-Idol]

Top 8 (mostly). Video quality is horrible, but audio is good I couldnt find Arttu's and Niina's performances but you don't miss anything. Arttu is just backrunner, judges wants him out quickly, and Niina is just Niina Not best night because theme was number one hits, and Sini was so boring that she was eliminated. I hope Torsten goes soon too. His ballads starts sound so boring already. This season is really predictable. Everyone wants Diandra to win. She is most popular contestant every week, and media says this is not even contest because everyone knows she will win.

Susanna Erkinheimo - Like A Prayer
Sini Tuominen - Take a Bow
Tiina Puska - Big Girls Don't Cry
Heikki Tuomi - Black Hole Sun
Torsten Borg - You're Beautiful
Diandra Flores - (Stronger) What Doesn't Kill You

Tonight is Idols Gives Back night

Been away for a long time. I don't have any of the episodes, sorry. But I do have a way of going round the geoblock on the MTV3 site. They don't seem to have the 1st or the 2nd finals though. You can go past the block by using a proxy based in Finland. I found a proxy, that works fast. For now anyway, don't know for how long. The address is 82.130.33.68 and port 3128. Instructions for Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera (the latest versions, if you require help for older versions just ask):

Explorer: go to Tools (under the x in the right corner). Then Internet options --> Connections --> LAN settings. Under Proxy server tick the box Use a proxy server for your LAN and Bypass proxy server for local addresses (optional, but recommended). These settings don't apply for dial-up connections. I'm not sure, how to set proxy for dial-ups. Sorry.

Firefox: the settings are in the left corner. Click on the button that says Firefox. Then Options --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet. Select Manual proxy configuration and enter the address in HTTP Proxy box.

Chrome: open Customize and control Google Chrome (the icon in the right corner, that looks like a wrench). Then Settings --> Under the Hood --> Network --> Change proxy settings --> Connections --> Local area network (LAN) settings. The settings are same as in Explorer.

Opera: the settings are in the same place as in Firefox. In the left corner, where it says Opera. From there open Settings --> Preferences... --> Network --> Proxy Servers. Under Protocol tick the box HTTP and enter the address in the box Proxy server and port in Port.

This should work.

And of course links to the episodes available would be helpful too...
