Katri Helena is one of the most loved Finnish artists since the 1960's and has sold around 1,5 million albums so far. The media has followed her career, her romances, family life and tragedies closely over the years and now the legend with "blue and white voice" gets a musical based on her life. The musical will premiere in Helsinki City theatre in fall 2011. The storyline is based on her life and her songs that we will hear about 20 over the show. The musical is written by Ilpo Tuomarila, it will be directed by Tiina Brännare and Katri herself will be played by Sanna Majuri. The premiere is on August 25 on the big stage with dancer-backing singer group of 14, and a band of 12 people. More info here. Both her Eurovision entries will be heard in the musical of course: Katson sineen taivaan and Tule luo.
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?
