Saraa Aalto - Every Christmas Day

[Smurfie]

Nearly there - just feels like there is something missing, like a lot however. Written by Kylie Minogue, Biff Stannard, Steve Anderson and Ash Howes.  Though have a sneaking suspicion it was actually written for Kylie, but she didn’t want it in the end for her GH repackage, so “gave” it to Saraa.

8/10

Surely it's more likely a leftover from Kylie's Christmas album a few years ago?

I don't mind some of her music, but she is just so desperate for fame it annoys me (I am from Finland). The campaign for her Eurovision entry was insane and still she flopped. She's been on every talent show out there, released several albums, even tried to make it in Japan and UK, but nobody cares for her music. She would be a really good songwriter, but she just wants to stay in the spotlight and that is what is going to destroy her career, unfortunately.

I bet she even spelt her surname that way so she'd be first in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles.

She was born Saara Sofia Aalto.

Funnily enough, Monsters came up on my Spotify playlist this morning, I had very few touch points with her - Eurovision and a couple of episodes of X-Factor which I watched as I’m not UK either so saw by chance and they were mostly the finals. I never coined she might be so stifling as an artist.  I did wonder why Monsters bombed so badly at Eurovision - I thought it was pretty good and a contender, but then it could be (a) I have a ropey taste in music at best (b) she was very over exposed.

But then I thought Verona would win by a mile, but other factors got in the way with that (eg they were terrible on the Eurovision actual performance)

Finland only had luck with Lordi in 2006 at Eurovision, top 5 for the first time in 33 years lol. Maybe we are just not that interesting. Finland isn't really good in anything except ice hockey. Let us have that Like I wrote in my previous post, I was honestly shocked to see Saara flop so hard at Eurovision after all the expose she's had, for example, in UK.
