Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen performed convincingly in the wise men’s rehearsals.
Finland’s Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen are Flamethrower– pre-favorites of the Eurovision Song Contest.

The five stage has a catwalk that branches in two, and a catwalk in the shape of a semi-arch. This has brought small changes to Finland’s presentation.
If we go first to the things that have not changed. On the stage at the end of the catwalk is a rocking chair, in front of which Pete sits and sings. Linda is on stage in the middle of empty orchestra chairs, like UMK. Linda walks and runs in high heels along the catwalk at breakneck speed and of course does the Linda squat.
The biggest difference is, of course, that unlike at UMK, Linda plays the violin for real. The call sounds the same as in UMK.
Some of the camera times have remained the same as at UMK. Already in Tampere, the scene where Linda walks along the catwalk while the camera films her directly in front received special praise. This seems to be the same in fives.
At the end, Linda runs again to the empty orchestra chairs, which catch fire, and Pete sings high and loud.
The audience, consisting mainly of journalists, gave awards A flamethrower with cheers and wild applause.
