In an interview with Finnish tabloid, Saara Aalto revealed that they have called the Eurovision organizers asking what they can do on the stage. She also finished shooting the music videos this week in Oslo.
Big plans
During The X Factor, we saw Saara having big performances with lots of dancers and props. It seems that she has big plans for Eurovision too.
We have been calling the Eurovision organizers and asked if we can do this. We have big plans, but it (having only 30 seconds time to set up everything) gives us some limits unfortunately.
Saara also said that she is very excited to finally get some new music out. She said that she has recorded over sixty songs over the past year and the best three have been selected for Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2018.
Music videos done
Last week Saara revealed on her Instagram that the music videos for her three entries were filmed in Oslo. Yesterday she posted a picture with caption “Music videos DONE!”.
The first song will be released in two weeks, on February 9th. The next two songs will are being released every Friday after that, on February 16th and February 23rd.
Finland in Eurovision Song Contest
For the first time ever, Finland had an internal selection and chose Saara Aalto as their representative for Eurovision Song Contest 2018. She will perform three songs at the final of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2018 and international jury together with Finnish televoters will choose the winner.
Finland has failed to qualify to the final three years in a row. Last time they were in the final in 2014, when Softengine placed 11th with “Something Better”.
