WaterfallRiku Nieminen, who became famous from the series, competes in a new one Stars, stars in the season. In the first episode, the contestants perform hits from the 80s.

Nieminen interprets Phil Collinsin a legendary hit In the Air Tonight.

– This is on the edge of a knife, whether this is already a meme song or not. After watching Phil Collins pull it off, it’s really sincere, really pathetic. Then, however, it becomes a really genuine feeling, Nieminen justifies his decision.

A sensitive interpretation of the country hit can be seen on stage. Nieminen sits in the audience at the beginning of his performance. He finally walks on stage and starts playing the drums.

The show’s jury is in awe of Nieminen’s performance.

– This was amazing, that you started with a song like this. I thought it was really believable and I liked those drum effects, says Juuso Mäkilähde.

Lilli Paasikivi hits Mäkilähde.

– You did put flour in our mouths, Paasikivi says, making the audience laugh.

Musician Sami Yaffa is shocked by Nieminen’s performance.

– This came completely out of the blue for me. Yes, I know that you are a really solid and versatile performer. You come up with all kinds of good and funny things, and also serious things. I didn’t know this about you at all, Yaffa praises.

Tähdet, tähdet starts at Nelose and Ruudu at 19:30 on Sunday, April 7. See all TV programs and broadcast times in Telku’s TV guide.
