[edit] Season two
The second season of Finnish Idols started in Autumn 2005. This year, auditions were arranged also in Oulu. Although only 1,479 people auditioned for this season, it was a big success (the second season picked up more spectators than the first). Semifinals started on November 13, and Katri Ylander was the favourite. However, Ilkka Jääskeläinen defeated her in the final on December 18, with a vote share of 55%. Ilkka Jääskeläinen went on to sell albums after the season two ended. He has now, however, lost his record contract after his less than stellar record sales.
