Jari Sillanpää will become the second Finnish solo artist to fill up Helsinki Olympic Stadium (Cheek being the first one last summer) in occasion of his 50th birthday on August 16, and 20th anniversary in the business after winning the title of Tango King in Tangomarkkinat 1995. He has been on top ever since and at the moment living careerwise one of the highlights; his latest album has given him real radiohits (Sinä ansaitset kultaa for example) and the album has sold platinum. He won Syksyn Sävel 2011, and then Tähdet, tähdet variety tv-series... He was also one of the artists in the first season of Vain elämää in 2012. That started his move to more pop oriented material and its paying off big time. Right now he's also nominated for several Emma awards aka the Finnish Grammys. Over the years he has released 15 albums (incl. compilations etc) and won countless awards. Time to break some records and make history again? After all, it takes 40.000 to tango!
Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?
