Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Namely in popular TV-show Tartu mikkiin (Grab the mic), where singers have to sing and guess musical quizzes and compete against each other and public, too. Krista Siegfrids, Mikael Saari, Diandra Flores and Lucy Was Driving's Otso Koskelo are meeting each other again and competing against each one more time.

Before that we did few promotional CD:s and, of course, we tried to send them everywhere we could. Back in 2005 one of the songs got to semifinals of MTV Nordic's international competition but this didn't include any live shows so I...

If you thought it's easy to just go and sing, in UMK or some other national final or something just have a look at Otso Koskelo's pulsemeter. He had it on all night last Thursday, when Lucy Was Driving made its way to the semifinal next Thursday with Dancing all around universe . The graphic clearly shows how his heartbeat went overdrive during the performance and peaked again during the results (tulokset).
