I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Finland's turn...Krista Siegfrids - Marry Me!
The Finnish selection had some really decent songs this year but they opted for the "in your face" option with Marry Me! It is great, and Krista is a fine performer. She has a much better voice than I gave her credit for at first and I think Finland will really well in Malmo! The national final was held in February, like last year, and it did come as a surprise when Krista was selected. I thought Mikael or Diandra would win but they came 2nd and 3rd, respectably.
Finland will compete in the second semi between Malta and Azerbaijan. She's gonna qualify, lets face it, and then I think it could be a dark horse. A top ten contender, no doubt. But the juries will hold it back. Helsinki 2014 is not gonna happen but a decent position is likely. Krista is a hoot on Twitter, you can follow her here. She also released a parody video-clip for gay marriage - she said everyone should be able to marry who they want. 12 points, Krista!!! In Malmo she's promised a "circus" on stage. #TEAMDINGDONG <3
I’m your slave and you’re my master...Here's the official video-clip...
