In a recent discussion on the show 'Very Important Content', Finnish singer Olli Herman delivered a critical evaluation of the song 'Liekinheitin' by Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen, labeling it as disgusting to listen to due to its toxic lyrics. Herman, while assigning a score of 8.5 to the song, emphasized that the lyrics reflect a distasteful narrative about toxic relationships. Co-host Mitja Toivonen provided a slightly more favorable rating, giving the song a score of 7.5, but still agreed that it carries the hallmark of a frontrunner in the Uuden musiikin kilpailu (UMK) competition.

Herman initially praised the musical talents of both Lampenius and Parkkonen, highlighting Lampenius's violin play and Parkkonen's vocal abilities. However, he couldn't overlook what he perceives as a problematic lyrical content that he describes as toxic. He provided a metaphorical comparison, likening Lampenius's character in the lyrical context to the wicked witch from the Snow White tale, which further illustrates his strong disapproval of the song's themes.

The conversation around UMK and its contenders sheds light on how critical feedback from established artists like Herman can impact public perception of the competition. His comments will likely resonate with audiences and could influence the reception of this song among UMK followers, as debates about lyrics and themes in contemporary music gain prominence in Finland.
