Me on stage with The Rasmus, singing Rakkauslaulu

Well, this is a video of me up on stage with The Rasmus, singing Rakkauslaulu.
If you're curious to know why I was there, this is the story:
On the 24th of January, TR were having a gig in Gothenburg, Sweden , and me and my friend got to the arena they were going to play at pretty early (11.30 am), and we were the only ones there for a few hours. Early in the afternoon, Aki (drummer of TR) arrived at the arena, and sweet as he is, he came and talked quite a bit to me and my friend. At one point he asked us if there was any particular song we would like to hear, and we both said Rakkauslaulu.
He told me that they had said that they wouldn't play it, but asked "If we play it, will you come up and sing?" Of course I said yes, but I didn't think it would actually happen.
But then, in the encore, sure enough, they pulled me up on the stage, and let me sing with them.

I know, I'm not a good singer, and I don't speak finnish so what I'm singing is probably... way wrong at times, but this really was the most special moment of my life, so I'm sharing this video with you anyway.

Who filmed you??? Afterwards, where did you stay in the stadium???

[Peroti616]

It was my mother, who is also a TR fan.

I went around and stood at the back, but it was only one song left, so I didn't miss out on that much :P

[intheshadows4mytime]

Congratulations! You were so lucky! Where are you from? Where was the concert??

[Peroti616]

Thank you :) I'm from Sweden, and this concert was in Gothenburg, as I mentioned in the video description

[RasmusAngel267]

Haha! I can't speak Finnish either, but I practice this song all the time just in case TR decides to play it once they come back to the US! And you can bet I'd be there hours, if not days, early, just like you were. :3 Now I just need them to COME TO THE US!!! lol!

[xxKellyzonexx]

OMG that is so funny x)

i wonder why you kept looking at him, probably to sing correctly lol

and then they just startdet to do some freestyle and you were like huh?? xD

a bit mean still they're sweet :)

[Mimichan86]

you were the first, in sweden at least. went to the other one, and they didn't sing Rakkauslaulu then. I think they began singing it with a fan after you did it. note, I think :P

[Niennago]

hahahaha love it! you're an idol! I would never go there and sing in front of so many people.

[Peroti616]

On this tour, yes, I am aware that they have. Should that make me feel less privileged in any way? I wasn't just someone they randomly picked out of the crowd anyhow.. (No offence to those who were) And as far as I know, I was the first one.

[QueenArwen90]

ppl always have to sing rakaslaulu

[Maximalkor]

Fan va jag e avundsjuk på dej xD

[therasmusfreakyfan]

TR is the sweetest band in the world towards their fans ^^

In Brussels they asked people to sing Rakkauslaulu too (:
