We hope you brought your stamina, you’re going to need it to go wild for Finland’s Erika Vikman! Indeed, the UMK legend Erika Vikman will bring her incredible Eurovision 2025 entry “Ich Komme” to the London Eurovision Party stage this year on April 13th!
Erika is of course known for her high-energy and outright iconic performances at UMK 2020 and 2025, and is of course flying the Finnish flag in Basel. Before that, the LEP crowd will have a chance to witness her huge epic banger live. We can’t wait!
Who is Erika Vikman?
Erika Vikman is a two-time UMK participant from Tampere, Finland. She has been nothing short of an absolute sensation in the Eurovision community since 2020, when her entry to the Finnish selection “Cicciolina” was revealed. An ode to Hungarian-Italian politician and former adult-film actress Ilona Staller aka Ciccolina, the entry was made to empower strong women. She cemented herself in contest fandom history by appearing on stage in a hot pink PVC catsuit with 2 bears accompanying her performance.
When it was announced that she would be returning to UMK in 2025, she was the early hot favourite. The community was awaiting her entry “Ich Komme” with baited breath, and when it was released? It certainly did not disappoint. A music video where Erika is wearing a latex dress and giving the camera a sultry eye whilst lying in honey? Erika’s sexual and camp energy was back, y’all.
The entire package was exactly what Eurofans were craving with lyrics about sexual liberation, and demanding what you want from your partner. When she appeared at UMK, there was no honey, but instead we were given 3 minutes of a full arena show. Anthemic, powerful and outright exhilarating, Erika used her gold mic and stand to great effect, before ending the climax of the song on a gargantuan version of one, with the word ERIKA written behind her. A statement that this is HER show, it is HER moment.
She won UMK with 430 points, over 100 points ahead of second-placed Goldielocks. A huge televote score really propelled her to the win, and Eurovision fans haven’t stopped talking about her since. She is currently our reader’s favourite to win Eurovision from the songs we have so far, and is surely destined for great things in Basel.
