The second day of rehearsals has already begun. Laura from Finland was the first to rehearse on stage today and had a press conference some time ago.

Maria Guzenina, the commentator for YLE TV2, said that this year's Finnish song will be performed by an excellent singer who is also a wonderful personality. “ When she is on stage and performing nobody can bear her“, she adds.

Laura agrees that Finland is riding on the right wave this year. Her confidence is based on a new but tough jury system, introduced in Finland this year. All songs had to get past three different juries – professional, international and the decision of the Finnish people.

Journalists were also interested why Laura doesn't use the catwalk. She answered that it's not her decision, but she can go whereever she likes.

Laura also revealed the cooperation plans with Cypriot boyband ONE.

She admitted to be a bit nervous on stage, but said that's it's quite normal for the first rehearsal.

The dress she weared in the Finnish national final was an issue. Laura told, that she will definately wear less than in the Finnish final.
