This is old (2008) but part of the Laura Voutilainen's recently released greatest hits CD+DVD. She performs some Eurovision classics Katson sineen taivaan, Lapponia, Eläköön elämä and Sata salamaa here. In the interview on same DVD she admits being a real Eurovision fan and that she had been asked to take part several times before 2002's Addicted to you but she wasn't either ready or the song wasn't right until then.
The Azerbaijani selection show for the represant was as long as the selection process for the five finalists. Kurt Calleja from Malta and Can Bonomo from Turkey were present with Ell/Nikki to see Sabina Babayeva to emerge as the winner after each and every finalist had done about zillion songs amongst other guests. Now the Azeri TV will shop around a suitable song for her.
