Has Finland's EUROVISION Hopeful KATRA 'Borrowed' From WITHIN TEMPTATION?

January 29, 2007

One of the candidates to represent Finland in this year's Eurovision Song Contest is a 22-year-old female singer by the name of KATRA, whose track "Tietäjä" bears more than a passing resemblance to the WITHIN TEMPTATION cut "Jillian". To hear the choruses to the two songs played back-to-back, click here. A video clip of KATRA performing "Tietäjä" in its entirety can be found at this location.

According to YLE.fi, Katra has been playing the piano and studying for 15 years. Along with music, she has studied expressive arts. Her background in dance and gymnastics comes through in her live performances.

Katra was previously a member of several bands, including LOVEX and ESSENTIA. She played the synthesizer and sang background vocals in both groups.

Katra's debut single, "Sahara", was released in September 2006. Her full-length debut is expected this spring.
