Template:Short description Template:Infobox pageant titleholder
Armi Anja Orvokki Aavikko (1 September 1958 – 2 January 2002) was a Finnish singer and beauty pageant titleholder. She was chosen as Miss Finland in 1977 and was best known for her duets with singer Danny.[1] She was born in Helsinki.
Toward the end of her life, Aavikko struggled with alcoholism and depression.[2]
She died in Espoo on 2 January 2002 from pneumonia at the age of 43. She was buried in the Malmi Cemetery. Aavikko achieved some posthumous camp notoriety[3][4] in 2006 when the Armi & Danny video "I Wanna Love You Tender," featuring Armi as Sandy Olsson from Grease and surrounded by backing dancers in Rydell High cheerleader uniforms with incomprehensible choreography,[3] became an Internet phenomenon.[5]
