Eurovision 2013 star Krista Siegfrids and 2007 presenter Mikko Leppilampi were revealed behind a mask in the Finnish version of Masked Singer.
Krista Siegfrids The Magic Hat
Krista Siegfrids is best known for representing Finland at Eurovision 2013, but has since also hosted Finland’s national selection, the New Music Competition, and participated in the Swedish Melodifestivalen – twice! She recently gave birth to her firstborn, but before that she had time to perform Masked Singer in Finland.
He made it to the semifinals of the show in Magic Hat. During the six performances, we saw the multi-talented Krista show many aspects we haven’t seen before. In addition to proving that he really can sing Sia‘s’Chandelier”And Edith Piaf‘s’La vie en rose“, he also showed his skills in rap!

Mikko Leppilampi hosted the competition already in 2007, when it was held in Helsinki. In addition to being a presenter, he is also known as an actor and singer. However, some of his performances surprised everyone.
Mikko Leppilampi was behind the androgynous character Frost. He made it to the finals and finished third. The jury was amazed at his performances and awkward clues. In fact, Mikko spoke only English in his hint videos and interviews before finally revealing that he was Finnish in the finals.
Mikko introduced a huge diversity in the genres of music by singing everything Eminem‘s “Lose Yourself” to Right Said Fred’ s “I’m Too Sexy.” His probably most impressive performance was Foo Fighters ’“ The Pretender ”.
The winner of Masked Singer’s second season in Finland was The Doctor. Nightwish bassist Marko Hietala, revealed behind the mask.
In fact, he also has a connection to Eurovision. Already in 2000, the band participated in the Finnish national selection with the song “Sleepwalker“. They received more than 15,000 votes from the Finnish audience, but the juries did not like them as much. Eventually, they finished third and later became one of the most internationally known Finnish bands.
