I think that the livestream ended already.

Evening newspaper has replayable stream:

News header: "X-Factor film crew had to tell fans to be more cheerful and make more noise at the airport"

I heard and saw an x factor crew member go over to a little Finnish girl and say to her "can you say 'I love Saara, and just met her. This is the best day ever!'"

They then put a camera in this kids face, she said it then they walked off

So fake

You have to appreciate that it is a different culture.The XFactor crew didnt tell those people to be there in the first place.

Looks like they told Saara to go straight up the other escalator when she got down for some reason. Weird.

Still think it is wrong they made Saara fly back to Helsinki today. I mean the whole point of her X Factor journey is how she has become accepted by the British so a "homecoming" with her new fanbase in London would have made much more sense and would have completed the "acceptance" narrative nicely.
Instead, packing her back to Finland on the week of the final is pretty stupid and I think the producers are trying to sabotage her chances

I don't know, and its good for the X Factor UK 'brand' to show that people all over the world tune in and watch the acts and are rooting for them. It's the often repeated 'because this is best in world' that massages Simon's ego.

Played well, Saara returning home could be a proper moment- Not being accepted in her home country and coming back to a riotous reception and being met at the airport. Will have far more impact than the other two imo and its not exactly a secret she's from Finland.

Didn't you know that most of television is like that. I guarantee the other contestants will have the same experiences. TV is a lie - get over it!

Saara's parents were flown by the X Factor production from Oulu (north of Finland, Saara's home) to Helsinki early in the morning and they met Saara at her home in Helsinki. First time in months. Her parents got the tickets late last night after it was confirmed that Saara will be in the Final.

Her parents have already bought the tickets to go to London next weekend.

Have you discovered whether we are going to be able to watch the live stream of this concert today?

And is the blonde girl at the bottom of that article Saara's sister?
(looks like she was on the Finnish Voice?)

ETA: Yes it's Saara's sister Suvi. Here's the two of them singing together.

Starting now. Host telling everyone that there will be some pyrotechnics. They may need to film some scenes couple of times, but they will instruct the audience accordingly. Saara will meet the audience, sing some songs and there may be couple of surprises along the way.

YLE, meaning Finnish Broadacting Company, just told in their stream that they wont be able to show some songs due to a copyright issue.

Not sure what other livestreams are able to show.

EDIT: Apparently this applies to all media livestreams. They wont be able to show every song.

Couple of takes of Saara exiting horse carriage and hugging Santa Clause.

Actually it's +1 celcius, but it has been windy so it adds to the coldness.
