The last of the missing ones from the Nordic countries -ICELAND. Their entry is called OUR CHOICE and it is sung by ARI OLAFSSON. It is a real pity this ended last in semi final one – for ESC Covers we had it 4th out of the 43 songs. Ari is so charming and has a great voice so hopefully we will see him again at Eurovision in future.
Saara Aalto gave a pre-Eurovision concert at the Under The Bridge venue in London on Wednesday. She gave a confident and impressive performance of tracks from her album released today ‘Wild Wild Wonderland’ as well as providing some surprises.
ESC Covers was there to cover the event. Saara performed her three songs from the 2018 UMK Finland national selection – Queens, Domino and of course Monsters. She also performed her runner up song from the 2015 UMK No Fear. Saara also sang some Eurovision classics such as Diva and Rise Like A Phoenix.
Saara was joined by some special guests. First up were YouTube sensations 96OneDream. Ari Ólafsson (2018 ESC Iceland) joined her on stage to perform Con Te Partiro. Ryan O’Shaughnessy (2018 ESC Ireland) joined Saara for a version of the 1994 Irish winning Eurovision song Rock ‘N’ Roll Kids. Matt Terry (the winner of the 2016 X Factor in UK where Saara was runner up) performed Calm After The Storm (2014 ESC The Netherlands).
Check out Saara performing Monsters, Domino, Queens and Diva as well as her duet with Ari Ólafsson below as well as a gallery of photos from the exciting evening.
