But seriously, I think I'm in love

I asked yesterday if he was gay and am still furious noone answered. Desperation.

The proof of sheer joy that this song is.

4 Benjamin
5 Keira
6 Portion Boys
7 Robin

If i could give it 24 points i would do it. This may be my favourite Eurovision song like, ever.

. Nuff said.

For the record, yesterday i hosted a karaoke evening in a venue in my town and played Cha Cha Cha at the very end to celebrate in a sense. People catched it REALLY QUICKLY. He's gonna do wonders in Liverpool, i'm sure of it.

can't wait for the next UMK. This format is pure perfection (I would only change the votes back to 50% jury 50% televote since the winner of the televote gets so many points that they jury votes are more or less pointless.)

Käärijä was my 4th I think but still such a great song. I would change the performance quite a bit but I heard they're keeping the dancers so... Maybe just change their clothes to green or something because green+pink do not work even though I usually like the colours that do not fit.

Yeah. Either ditch the juries completely, or go 50/50 like the ESC final. I guess they want the foreign spokespeople as part of the show, so I guess 50/50 would make sense.

As a principle I don’t like international juries in national finals, because either they have no impact on the winner, or the country ends up sending a song that the domestic viewers didn’t choose. But after Sweden 2022 I have to admit the juries can be useful sometimes.

My three favorites came top 3 and my overall favorite won... why cant every NF end in this way? :-) Second 12 points of the year from me

 

[Luneaux]

Sooooo happy for Käärijä's victory! Voted for him last night. The atmosphere in Logomo on rehearsals was very heartwarming and exciting, too. I was asked from some Eurovision fan reporter after the show who was my favorite to win, said Käärijä, without a doubt! We'll see how he and his team will update staging of the song for Eurovision, if they do... Can't wait!

Kuumaa had a simple beautiful staging. Such a shame that they got so little votes and ended up as this year's Younghearted like I predicted... They will stay on my song lists for long!

Overall I wasn't that dissapointed on stagings this year... Some cases of course were a bit questionable but... Yle improved a bit from the last year!

Now I can't wait to follow Käärijä's Eurovision journey this spring! He will make us proud, for sure!

 

[Grinch]

Pls he's adorable like

I want a pocket size, dancing Käärijä figure so I can take him everywhere with me, put him on my office desk, coffee table at home, look at his funny hair

 

[MopManMoss]

I have never seen the fandom so unified behind a song before nearly everyone of varying music tastes and preferences has gotten behind this song and performance, it is incredible what Käärijä has managed to do

 

[Mrlazzyjazzy]

This song is so fucking fun, he sells the fuck out of it. Won't be mad if this goes all the way and wins the whole damn thing.

 

[Ausesken]

Ok I just logged in to say this is my absolute favourite

The first half sounds like a remix of "We got the moves" by Electric Callboy and "Te quiero puta" by Rammstein

 

[Ezio]

Wouah, another horrible song for a horrible year. The staging was funny and i chuckled,but the song is a steaming pile of garbage. it’s the soundtrack for a BDSM party. The fist pumping killed me.

 

[cassio]

nice and disgusting FREAK SHOW. Finland 0 pts

 

[lasse braun]

that green "thing" reminds me to shum on stage.

 

[rasmuslights]

I don't think this can win though. Compared to Loreen who can do decently with both the jury and the televote (top 3 both for sure). I'm not sure Finland will be in the top 5 with the juries, especially with songs like Spain and Italy in competition.

and estonia.

I guess haahhaha
