Unconventional Fire

At the Finnish press conference most questions were about the unusual staging of the Waldo’s People’s song.

“We didn’t want it to be a conventional dance show,” said Marko Reijonen, the lead singer of Waldo’s People. “It is a very energetic song. We tried to think of a good visual element to match it and chose fire!” This is why the band’s show will include performance by professional fire artists listen.

According to the singer, the video part of the show will match the music video for this song. “It’s like a video clip. We did not want any trivial stuff, such as sexy-looking girls. So we developed a real story, but still with girls”.

Since the song goes like ‘I don’t want to lose control’, the moderator asked the band’s lead female singer, if she would lose control in case she won. “Absolutely!” she said without any doubt.

The Finland delegation was represented by: Terhi NORVASTO (Head of Delegation), Reetta KALLIO (lead artist), Marko REIJONEN (lead artist), Manna BORG (backing artist), Paivi VIRKKUNEN (backing artist), Niko VIRTANEN (backing artist), Anton JOLMA (backing artist), Aila HAVIA-VENALAINEN (HOP ), Katja TOIVANEN (promotion press manager)
