Finland in recent years is not getting very good positions even if they have good songs ... If they took a different and peculiar song like in 2006 I think they would be better.

According to Mari Pudas (journalist from Iltalehti) Johanna Kurkela might be the next representative for Finland at Eurovision. The announcement would be in the middle of October. And if you want get to hyped about it, Tuomas Holopainen, keyboardist and songwriter of Nightwish is her husband. Here's couple examples of her songs (the latter one is composed by Holopainen)

holy shit I had no idea she was behind "Night 13", and the other two songs sounds wonderful as well she would definitely be a fine choice for Finland

Johanna would be a great act. I am praying she gets an amazing song to perform with. And with one of the best Finnish composers as her husband, I'm sure it'll be great.

As YLE hasn't mentioned any information about our representative whatsoever, there has been more speculations about the Finnish representative. One of theories is that the original plan failed (e.g. the planned artist withdrew from the project) and YLE does not have any idea what to do. And it's likely that this is true, as when a journalist asked the producer of UMK if they have decided when the representative gets announced or has the artist been selected the producer refused to comment. But here's some new speculations who could be the Finnish representative in Tel Aviv. Tuure Boelius - For some reason the users from Viisukuppila (the Finnish ESC-fan forum) were quite sure that Tuure Boelius would be the next representative. Boelius later denied the rumors but he said would want to participate in Eurovision someday. Eva & Manu - Eva & Manu posted this on their Facebook page. Juha Tapio - Juha Tapio said on an interview this summer that he would consider participating in Eurovision should YLE contact him.

Okay, it's very likely that Eva + Manu are going to be the Finnish representative as they have not denied about the possible participation and instead have hinted about it (e.g. they put a news article where they have been mentioned as a possible representative & Lordi's victory in their Instagram story). Eva + Manu is a duo made by Eva Louhivuori and Emmanuel Laudic. Eva Louhivuori competed in Euroviisut 2010 ( Finnish NS) as part of a band called Captain Cougar but they didn't qualify from the online selection. Meanwhile Emmanuel Laudic has a solo project called Ritarit (which actually was also a duo until 2016). Here are some of their songs (& a cover):
