Krista Siegfrids – Cinderella

“I couldn’t criticise her for not giving it everything”

Tim: Tom’s off again today, but he will no doubt remember Krista, the bride-to-be who’s been haunting his dreams for the past twelve months. Over the weekend, she appeared once again on Finland’s Eurovision selection program, but this time just to show off her new single. (Performance here.)

Tim: There’s not a massive amount to it, or at least there doesn’t seem to be, and that’s kind of a problem. There’s no way I could criticise her for not giving it everything she’s got with those big notes, but I think the song almost needs someone with a voice to handle those better. Compare this to, say, Unconditionally, and I can’t help feeling that her vocal hasn’t quite got the capability this song deserves – the big drawn out bits stop too quickly, really, when I’ve got a feeling they’d sound better if they were held out for a few more seconds. I don’t know. It’s decent enough, but may have had a little more potential.
