Yes!

Only for one reason though...

And that's this guy! Ari Koivunen.
Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Whitesnake songs in an Idols competition have to be applauded imo.

Beats the usual pop crap Idols type shows are famous for, plus the band loves him! :cool:

This is coming from the country that produced Lordi, don't forget :cool:

Your music scene is fucking awesome, I guess it makes up for the constant shitty cold weather.

quick question, do a lot of contestants sign songs which were originally written in english, in their native language?

Nope, they almost always sing in English, which bugs the hell out of me most of the time. Only a few can actually sing English without their accents or Finnish pronunciation coming through.

BTW, Ari is in the top 3 and has a better than good chance at winning.

edit: he now is top 2!

He won Yo!
Sanity prevails and the teeny boppers didn't decide this years outcome, woot...
Check out the song that pretty much won it for him, a great rendition of The Scorpions 'Still loving you'.

Edit: His competition was pretty lousy, she was just really popular with the kids it seems.

Just an update for those interested! :rolleyes:

Ari has made an album already with help from many of the Finnish music industries biggest names.
First single is one called 'Hear my call'.

Note: not the real video!

Not so bad from an album aimed mainly at the Idols audience, ie. teenage girls and bored immigrants... :p
