Back in early February, a very close run national final in Finland chose Krista Siegfrids and the song Marry Me as its Eurovision representative in Malmö.
Ms. Siegfrids is a stunning blonde with a sassy attitude who came to public attention in her homeland through the television show, The Voice of Finland. Now signed to Universal Music, Eurovision is her big break and she will be hoping she can bring the trophy home for the first time since Lordi won for Finland in 2006.
A victory will obviously depend upon Eurovision viewers' reaction to Marry Me. A self-professed admirer of Lady Gaga, Krista Siegfrids rather delivers the song in a style that is very similar to Katy Perry. The fact that it is one of a very few uptempo, party numbers may help it and a strong, visual performance will do it no harm. I can't say it's a song that has bowled me over, but I suspect that it will qualify from its semi-final.
Finland is involved in the second semi-final on May 16 in which it will perform in fifth place.
Do you like the Finnish song?

Seen this several times live now and Krista hits the mark each time! She's got the staging down to a tee already, it's up tempo and infectious and I have no doubt it will reach the Final, even on first hearing/viewing.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can gather, she is larger than life off stage too, so I can see support for Finland growing up to the Final - the 'ding dong' will stay in voters brains and I think a Top 10 finish is on the cards...
