Finland: Laura to release her greatest hits

Laura Voutilainen is back with new material as she is set to release more music from her greatest hits. The Finnish representative in 2002 shot a video clip of her new song Rakkauden soturi (Soldier of love).

The song performed in Finnish was written by Laura herself and the video clip of the song was filmed in Malta few months ago. She is currently taking part in a popular TV show called Strictly Come Dancing broadcasted on MTV3.fin.

The Finnish pop star is still going strong in the local music industry. Her greatest hits are set to be released on 6th October. Laura released her first album in 1994 and she did extremely well by selling over 120,000 copies. The upcoming album is expected to receive positive feedback following the release of six more albums throughout her career.

Laura represented Finland in the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest held in Tallin with the song Addicted to you. She ended up in the 20th place receiving 24 points. Laura Voutilainen tried her luck again in 2007 but she did not manage to win the national selection, thus not making it to the Eurovision stage for the second time.

Ohh Marianna....that's true, I didn't like them very much, but my mother loved them and their song, it was her favorite in 2011!
Enjoy your time in Estonia! ;) :)

Thank you, nice that you liked. I was so depressed when you hated Kuunkuiskaajat day after day. :P

I see, that you have been in London. I have been also there, unfortunately only five days.
In Finland, Big Brother began this week, but I don`t see it .
I am not home, I am in Pärnu, Estonia.

Man, the old eurovisions were filmed so well, and the camera work is just great. The focus is always in the singer, (and backings) and you don;t get a headache from to many suerves. Songwise 2002 was an awful year, but the stage looked great !

"Addicted to You" is one of my favourite entries from Finland (K) Should have been at least in Top 10 :) My winner that year is Malta :) Other good songs were Greece, UK, Denmark, Russia, France and Croatia. My horror that year were Lithuania, Germany and Sweden :@

Ooops I forgot Ira!! :( :( Sorry Ira you are my winner of 2002 together with Sarit, Afro-Dite and Vesna Pisarovic! (K)
Vesna Pisarovic had one of the best performances in ESC history!

I like Maja Tatic's song as well, she was the first Bosnian Serb to represent B&H in ESC!
For me 2002 is not bad at all, it can't be with Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel from Romania (L) , Afro Dite from Sweden (L), Vesna Pisarovic from Croatia (L), Sahlene from Estonia (actually Sweden :D), Sarit Hadad from Israel (the best)
I like Prime Minister from Russia, Francine Jordi from Switzerland, Rosa from Spain and some more, Jessica Garlick is so average but not bad, not horror like Sestre from Slovenia, S.A.G.A.P.O (one of the biggest horrors in ESC), Marie N from Latvia (gosh what a bad winner :S), Cyprus 6th place ewwww (S) and Belgium Sergio & The Ladies "Sister" AAAAAAA that's AWFUL! :( :(

I agree with Axel. 2002 was a very dull year, yet Laura saved the day along with Maja Tatic and Sandrine François.

I didn't like the song at all when I watched the 2002 contest. I've heard other songs from Laura, and they were much better than this average-sounding entry in my opinion.

I like this singer, but I dislike her ESC entry!

Now if there ever been one entry highly underrated, it must be this one... I absolutely adore "Addicted to you",..... great stuff, great singer.... never understood why it not ended top 5 at least..
