Iina Salin (27) is from Mikkeli but lives now in Helsinki, a singer, musician, vocal coach and music teacher. She also sings in Emma Salokoski Voices and was also a finalist in UMO's new talent contest earlier this year. And now she chose UMK instead of The Voice so that she can sing her own song. She likes soul and dance music and lists Madonna as one of her favorites along with Aretha Franklin but feels most confortable singing disco and pop songs. Coffee and chocolate keeps this energetic woman going.
What did the judges say?
Toni Wirtanen: I must give credit that she comes in with the chorus, the strongest part of the song.
Aija Puurtinen: Very strong start indeed.
Tomi Saarinen: Best in this clearly is the singer. You can hear she's been doing it a lot.
Redrama: Even if the chorus is very strong I don't think it comes out strong enough. I would make it even stronger as now the beat is the same all through the song.
Toni: With better production and modifying the song a little you could easily make the chorus come across better. The melody is good, it just has to come out clearer.
Aija: If the staging is kinda dark and gloomy it could be very strong, not to make it too fresh and glamorous....
Here she sings Respect & Think (at 4'10) and here's Easier in bed.
