Kiki shares their disheartening experience just before taking to the stage for the Uuden musiikin kilpailu (UMK), a highly anticipated event that represents a culmination of their dreams. Despite their hopes, things didn't unfold as planned due to various factors outside Kiki's control. As they were about to step on stage, Kiki experienced technical difficulties, including not being able to hear the countdown, the backing track, or even their own singing clearly, which ultimately affected their performance. This incident has been a source of disappointment for Kiki, as they know their true potential.

In addition to the audio issues, Kiki faced challenges with the visual aspects of their presentation at the Nokia Arena in the final moments. These mishaps added to the complexity of the performance, leaving Kiki feeling frustrated. However, even with these setbacks, Kiki expresses gratitude for the experience, noting that they poured their heart and soul into the UMK project. Despite the hiccups, Kiki believes that this journey has provided them with more than they anticipated, stating that they have learned significantly and grown as an artist, reaffirming their path in the music industry.

The competition concluded with Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen winning with their song 'Liekinheitin', amassing a total of 570 points. Kiki acknowledges the achievements of the winners while remaining hopeful about future opportunities in their own career, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to continued growth as an artist.
