I don't want to sing about going to a party with friends, I want to sing meaningful songs that can inspire people and I think Sia's songs are really deep. 'Chandelier' is about young girls who think they have to please others to be loved and that really touched me.
I was scared to be myself because I love to be flamboyant.
When I came here I moved to London and I was meeting so many new people and had to speak only in English, which is not my native language.
I want to do a musical. I want to write a book. I have all these ideas and I can't get away from them.
I'm quite tired, so when 'Dancing On Ice' is over I need a good holiday.
The staging for 'Monsters' is all about me getting free. In the beginning I'm like tied, in a dark place... until I am scared no more, and I'm taking the lead of my life, I'm being the queen of my life, I'm ruling the world! In the end I'm taking a risk, but I'm taking the leap of faith.
I was on 'X Factor' the day after the Brexit vote. People voted for Brexit. But the public also voted for me, they wanted me to be there and part of the music industry. I haven't felt any bad effects.
There are not actually many people in Finland who are openly gay together, let alone two women.
I'm now working with some of the best songwriters in the world and Sia has written a song that has been given to me. Oh my God, it's just insane.
I came second in 'The Voice of Finland' in 2012 and my career really exploded at home. I had 300 gigs a year.
I can be a bit serious because I'm always focused on my work, but when Meri's around I feel so relaxed. My body and soul are like, 'Ah, OK, everything is fine.' I know I am meant to be with her. It feels right.
When people come to my gigs, they feel accepted as they are and they feel part of this family.
'The X Factor' has brought so much joy to so many people.
I was in 'The Voice of Finland' in 2012 and my girlfriend - fiancee now - watched the show, liked me a lot and sent me a fan message through Facebook. She wrote, 'I have never, ever sent a message like this to anybody, but I just had this intuition that I have to send this to you.'
But when you grow, you get older and I realized that I would prefer being with a girl.
I'm of course jumping right in with the attitude that I can win the Eurovision Song Contest - or at least finish in second place!
This song is by Bjork called 'Oh So Quiet' and it's really different. I'll be screaming and just having fun on stage. It's really, really different but I'm very excited to do that number.
I think it's mainly the language barrier and the cultural barrier, but of course also my songs, they have been very serious and melancholic, and so maybe people need to see more of my bubbly side and my personality.
I grew up in Finland, so it's cold in Finland, we have ice rinks outdoors.
That's been my goal since I was a child and saw the Spice Girls on TV: I was like, I want to wear those fancy outfits and sing my heart out on a big stage.
