Editor's note

Hanna Pakarinen, Finland's first Idols winner

A pop-rock singer whose platinum debut launched a career of six albums and public advocacy.

For her early sound, 'Paralyzed' still captures that breakthrough moment. 'Tulin voittamaan' gives a clearer sense of her rock-leaning side.

When she won Finland's first Idols season in 2004, her debut single 'Paralyzed' immediately topped the charts. That success led to a platinum album and a RCA Records deal, establishing her as one of the country's most visible pop voices. Songs like 'Tulin voittamaan' and 'Falling Again' show her moving between straightforward pop and rock territory while maintaining that initial connection with listeners.

After 'When I'm Alone' went platinum in 2004, she released five more studio albums across pop and rock styles. She's collaborated with artists ranging from Finnish rapper Lord Est to Tom Jones on 'Strong Enough,' showing some stylistic range within her home market.
