KRISTA SIEGFRIDS RELEASES DING DONG ON MAY 10 (AND WANTS TO BECOME A GAY ICON!)

Krista Siegfrids was on live chat with Ilta-Sanomat's Poppipoliisit today and some facts were revealed along the chat with the hosts and questions by the followers.
She's very un-Finnish artists as she started with a bang with her More os more theme and wasn't asking apologies from anyone for breaking through, and she has managed to avoid being labeled both Voice-Krista or UMK-Krista - maybe because she's so different and has been around for such a long time working her butt off....
She will on stage in Malmö in all female company; five girls and herself (three dancers, two backing singers)
She will be doing promo in Amsterdam's Eurovision in Concert as well as London Eurovision, and Stockholm, too
Her album will be released on May 10, 2013 and is called Ding Dong! She describes it as a mix between the styles of Kesha and Joan Jett! She told that she feels completely confortable alterning from rock to pop. With a hint of dance thrown in!
She also told she's living on a minute by minute timetable being so busy she hardly has time to sleep, so life isn't so glamorous as it may look like. But she loves it all, and it's fun and makes her have the strenght to go on and avoid burn out.
She admits aiming for international career and whatever happens in Malmö 2013, she has already a lot of gigs booked after Eurovision, she will be one of the judges in The Voice Kids... she'll be busy!
And how did she react to the Swedish (mostly) feminists getting angry for her song? She laughed. She wrote the song with humor and if someone can't see it, she can only laugh about it....
And no, her boyfriend hasn't yet proposed...
When asked if she wanted to take part in The Voice and UMK to get some publicity and air time, but not to win to avoid labels, she answered she always wants to win! And yes, you can compete in music, too!
She also told how Marry me was born: First of all she wants to get married, and then she wanted to do Eurovision. Next step was uniting these to things or themes, she went to studio with her team playing with some idea she had, one of them being "oh-oh-o ding dong!" that had to be included no matter what. rest is history!
She's also asked with whom she'd like to do a duet and surprisingly it could be a rapper, like Redrama for example. And she wants to rap herself and will also do some on her new album.... 
And she's pretty excited Bonnie Tyler will be in Malmö 2013 as well. Target: photo together!
She's not worried at all about Eurovision label and is very pleased people, especially gays like her song. She's love to be a gay icon (if she isn't already...) She's very pleased the song is already playing a lot in gaydiscos all over Europe as she has been informed....

ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

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?

ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )

UK: Naked Blue

Band member Duncan, who is bi-sexual, recently told The Daily Star : “We are getting our kit off for Attitude magazine like the McFly boys did. I’m up for showing everything off. I’m happy enough about the size of my manhood. ” Extra media attention won't hurt their changes in Germany to win it for the UK for the first time since 1997... They will and they can!

JEDWARD GETS NAKED FOR THE FANS

CAROLA'S BOOBS STEAL THE SHOW, SVT APOLOGIES

Update! Another thing got Swedes talking last night: Carola's boobs when she was giving away an award. This is not the first time her boombs cause headlines; her misfortunate adventures in the 80's in Japan wer explained with her boobs being too big for Japanese market. Ok.... Or was it the song ? Anyways, Carola apologies and says she thinks the dress is stylish and elegant (even her friends said so) and she's a mature woman in her 40s, not a 16-year-old girl and looks like one. The Swedish Oscars, Guldbagge awards were given out last night. Carola was there as a guest star to sing Barbra Streisand's The way we were when honoring the movie stars who passed away during 2012. However, the cameras were too much on Carola, not on the stars showed in photos in the background and that upset many viewers as that part of the show was to celebrate them, not Carola. Oh well...  The producer of the show tells in Aftonbladet the part of the show was made the sam...
