Finland: Saara Aalto (UMK 2016) will her heart go on in The X Factor UK?

Week 7 of The X Factor UK competition, saw Saara Aalto take on Celine’s Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” for movie week. Impressive staging and powerful vocals, she gained positive comments from the judges for her performance this week, with even one of the judges on the show, Nicole Scherzinger, saying that “you being able to do a song like that, a Celine Dion song from that movie is just really a testimony of how great a vocalist you are”

Saara has made it through yet again to Week 8 of the competition, showing how much she has turned around the public opinion of her in the competition, when in the first weeks she was struggling to gain votes in the competition often ending up in the bottom 2. If the competition was purely down to vocals and performance, we feel that Saara could go all the way. Once again, Saara’s face was full of shock as she was announced second to go through to the next week. This really is a turning point for Saara Aalto in the competition.

So perhaps we will see her in another national selection next year. Her first
