Ding dong! Krista Siegfrids (27) has been around and up and coming for some time already and caused a stir in The Voice of Finland last year but didn't reach the final even if she made a lasting impression there. She tells she decided last spring that she will try UMK this year and wrote the song Marry me especially for it, and as a hint to her boyfriend! Being a musician she can't afford the rings (well, maybe all will change in Malmö?) She's got big plans for the stage performance: backing singers as bridesmaids, hunky men dancing around her, a wedding dress, wind machine! She also tells she wanted to have a hook and what's better than "oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh ding dong!" It's stupid but it's good. And fun. She likes strong and brave women and thinks she's one of them. "Some people like me, some people dislike me but hey, that's me!"
She's a fan of party music, Lady Gaga and Maja Ivarsson (The Sounds) and owns a rather special fashion sense... And guess where she had a gig on New Year's Eve? In Dubai!
What did the jurors say?
Redrama: OMG... The text is really corny but it's not a mistake. I think that "oh, oh, ding dong" is the best lyrics here. I think this is a perfect song. This could be a worldwide hit.
Tomi Saarinen: OMG indeed. That had it all. This is so "in your face" as can be. All 3 minutes of it. I think this is probably the best Finnish Kate Perry-ish song ever. American bubble gum pop at its best.
Aija Puurtinen: This craps you and won't let you lose your concentration for the whole song. Everything works, this is perfect as it is, no need to change anything.
Toni Wirtanen: That ding dong thing is the best. This is perfect.
