So say Krista Siegfrids who has invested a lot in her Marry me, in time, energy and even money. "I'm paying the costs myself" she tells the media today. "YLE is paying a fee to the participants but it covers pretty much nothing. Eurovision is my dream, I have been following it for a long time and I want to offer an entertaining show. Luckily many people have helped me and even free, and I'm paying the dancers etc myself- Not much but what I can! We do this for passion. And we have 12 dancers on stage tonight besides the backing singers!" The UMK rules don't limit the number of people on stage like Eurovision does, or Melodifestivalen. Krista is particularly happy her song has been noted also abroad. "I have given interviews to United Kingdom, France, Spain, Sweden... just to name a few. The biggest Eurovision website in Spain especially has been following me since the jury performance!" It is going to be a close run with at least four artists tonight and she says she feels no pressure. "In a contest like this anything can happen. I'm going to have fun on stage tonight and nothing stops Team Ding Dong!" she laughs. We will see tonight if Finland will go ding dong indeed!
