Last year, we followed Saara Aalto’s remarkable journey on The X Factor UK. From second chance wildcard to the runner-up, Saara’s story is arguably the most memorable in the history of the show. But for Eurovision fans, one question remained… would Saara still want to pursue her original dream of taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest. Today, Saara reaffirmed that the answer is a big fat YES!
Eurovision? “Of course!”
This morning, Saara was casually getting her hair styled so what better way to spend the time than a spontaneous question and answer session on Twitter with her fans? One fan asked Saara whether she had any plans to enter Eurovision, and Saara responded with the answer we all hoped!
Sometimes I really hope to do @Eurovision of course🎉 https://t.co/6Ikw4nO8Ge

It is so refreshing that an artist based in the UK is even happy to just acknowledge a question about Eurovision, never mind dream of taking part! Of course, Saara and Finland’s positive outlook on the contest puts her in a different position to many other UK-based artists. Nevertheless, it is still a pleasure to see that she would still hold getting such an opportunity in such high regard.
The new album will be worth the wait
Regarding her eagerly anticipated new album, Saara has teased its release! However, while we wait we can watch her multilingual, re-written cover of Passenger’s Let Her Go which was released a few weeks ago.
I know you're waiting, but I promise it's gonna be worth it!! I won't stop surprising you , promise 😘😘🌟 https://t.co/DHXPTc4RlC
