Finland is the first active country in the dawn of 2013 in the Eurovision Song Contest world. YLE Radio Suomi presents today at 13:00 CET the final versions of the Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2013 through regional and international radiostream. Top producer Jukka Immonen explains how he mentored all 12 finalists mixing up their songs for the final versions. Jukka is also involved in Belgium (no wonder how Finns will vote this year) and how his forgotten song ended up with Roberto Bellarosa.
