Krista at Eurovision
Singer Krista Siegfrids took part and won the Finnish national selection process Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2013 with the song Marry Me!. Although she received a poor result at Eurovision, as she came 24th out of 26 countries in the Final, her appearance is quite memorable. Krista’s kiss to a female dancer right after her stage performance was enough to cause lot of contoversy around Europe and beyond. According to her, this was to urge her country Finland to legalize same-sex marriage.
Here’s her performance at the 2013 Eurovision Grand Final:
Krista has made two more attempts to go to Eurovision again; this time for Sweden. She took part in Melodifestivalen 2016 and 2017 with her entries Faller and Snurra min jord respectively. However, she was eliminated in the semi-finals both times.
