🇫🇮 Käärijä "Cha Cha Cha" | Eurovision PrePartyEs 2023 INTERVIEW

[@user-vj4dp4xr8k]

Käärijä "I'm exciting." Yes you are.

[@markuserikssen]

It's crazy, it's PreParty!

[@omarzaky8418]

Can you tell me how did you make your profile pic?

[@markuserikssen]

@@omarzaky8418 Daði Freyr had an avatar generator on his website a few years ago. Not sure if it's there anymore, as I can't access the site.

[@chibiusa4072]

We must protect him at all costs.

[@TommyCashLover420]

Absolutely!

[@nathaliebazinga]

He is so weird and I love it! :D 💚 Sincerely, I hope he wins. He is fresh, he is unique and he is FUN! 12 pts from Serbia

[@superhermina1]

We've already met a lot of artists in previous contests that played different roles and did not come out of their fictional character. I admire that Käärijä shows his real personality and introduces himself as Jere. He is very humble, well grounded and nice. I wish him only the best and I hope he wins. 🇫🇮

[@Paivipkk]

Me too, he's great! 💖 He's cute and wise, I think, an old soul. 💖🌌🕊

[@emmettcarlsson2739]

He is so damn cute & doing a great job with these interviews in English. Käärijä doing his best speaking english ads to his cuteness and I also respect him so much for his efforts 🤍💙💚💙🤍

[@SuperJNG18]

Yeah, I have to respect that he's not doing what I've seen a lot of other Eurovision acts who can't speak English very well do over the years and use a translator (although, to be clear, no jury would convict him if he'd had to use one). He wants to get better at English and the only way he can learn more is by testing himself, right? Good for him.

[@edita_gla]

​@@SuperJNG18 yes! it's really great he's speaking English himself and not via translator! that's the best way to connect with people, even if sometimes he struggles, but the most important thing is that he's trying 💪

How is it possible to fall even more in love with this man? From not liking Cha Cha Cha to begin with, it has now become my number one! His charisma and goofy personality have completely won me over

[@edita_gla]

that happened to me too 😅

[@venicerequiron4075]

please protect käärijä at all costs, soooo precious 😮‍💨

[@QueenOfBrokenStone]

He's such a sunshine 🥺 Also, really well done with the English! Only needed the translator once ^^

[@user-vj4dp4xr8k]

It was his friend Eki.

[@dollydolly2002]

thank u for being so supportive of his english

[@fudgecameron_]

We need to protect him

[@granitta]

I enjoy how sincere he is 😭💚💚

[@vop4813]

I like how he asked to translate!! I know this sounds funny but that really made me feel seen! As a person who use a lot english but is not native speaker, this made me happy that it is not shame and it is normal that you always don't understand everything.

[@lauravision2791]

I just love this man

[@escahmet7487]

What a beautiful conversation! He is so kind. Thanks for sharing. Good luck Finland ❤❤😍😍

[@kirsh2036]

It's so beautiful to watch how all the interviews are done with respect. 💚

[@ingerli]

He is so nice guy with nice soul I guess 😊 hope he wins 🇫🇮💚

[@mariakokkonen9047]

You cannot not fall in love with him, he's so genuine and sweet and funny and lovely and warm and his laughter is the best thing in the world 🥹💚💚 so proud of him 🤧🇫🇮 go and charm the world hun!

[@coco5241]

The con of falling in love with him is not paying bills and selling your kids to buy tickets, travel, hotels to Finland instead. But it´s worth it!

[@MrRonski]

Yes. You are exciting!

[@smallblueangel]

one of the most adorable and loveable people ive ever seen

[@KevinWWSP]

I’m new to Eurovision. Cha Cha Cha is not my type of music. I can’t help but feel happy when I watch this guy. The song is fun fun fun and just catchy enough to win. As an American I hope he wins. My favorites are Joker Out, Lord of the Lost, and Voyager but they’re not Eurovision winners in my opinion; however, Käärijä is my number one.

[@THURGOOF]

As an American I hope he wins too he is spectacular welcome to the Eurovision fandom

[@mar97216]

It’s cool that you are checking out Eurovision. It’s quite a contest with history going so far back🤩 Helsinki 2024 hopefully! 👍🏼

[@maijapoppanen218]

I'm guessing you're a rock/metal fan 😄

[@KevinWWSP]

@@maijapoppanen218 Yes, but I can honestly admit that my taste doesn’t really fit the Eurovision winning vibes and that’s OK. I also enjoy Sudden Lights’ song for some reason.

[@KevinWWSP]

@@mar97216 I’m really impressed by the large number of talented artists from the different European countries, and Australia. That’s is so fantastic.

[@edita_gla]

so humble and sweet! love Käärijä! 💚

[@Sonnen_Licht]

I love his earring, it's so cute

[@sairhug]

Yes - little Käärijäs - adorable! The person who made them is on a sales platform called Tori ... but if you are outside of Finland, Sweden or Norway you can't sign up for an account or even contact her to find out if she ships overseas 😭

[@Sonnen_Licht]

@@sairhug does the seller has an Instagram or any socials to follow?

[@sairhug]

@@Sonnen_Licht No - they (using the name Puusormi) can only be found on Tori ... if only they were on Etsy :/

I've booked in with my nail tech to get his nails before I come to Eurovision 😊💅🏻

Käärijä, simply the best 💚💚💚

[@denissapiro]

I thought he can barely speak English, but it’s good 😀

[@heyman-ng3te]

Oh god. Even me, a translator, had troubles with recognising this girl’s accent. Poor Kaarija😂

[@MoniqueDOrazio]

I'm a translator myself and I had some trouble, too. 🙃But lovely interview.

I understand that the letter Ä is difficult to say when it's not used in your language but Kaarija just sounds so funny to me lol Props for the soft J though!

AE is a good substitute for ä for English speakers.

[@selinashen6569]

Where is the accent of this host from? it's a little bit difficult to understand

[@sairhug]

Newcastle (the Geordie accent).

[@zami8827]

it was really difficult to understand this dialect :D sorry.

[@Scheherasad]

From her, I think he was easy to understand

[@Bundeskaiser]

Weird to see how uncomfortable he feels. Considering his bad English it was a very good decision to keep it in native language. However, I think he is way more charming here than he is on stage. I think he should try to bring more of this over to the stage, the stage performance was a disgrace to watch in some parts.

[@Scheherasad]

i disagree with the last statement of yours. Every aspect of his performance fits to the lyric of the song and in the second half of the song he is very cute and charming

[@maijapoppanen218]

I think the contrast is a good thing. He has a powerful attitude on stage but he's this charming, goofy and slighty awkward guy in real life (or at least on social media)

[@omaewamoushindeiru6581]

He just can't sing and can't perform. But people like to scream chachacha so he will win.

[@sagal8620]

​@@omaewamoushindeiru6581 you are so wrong.

[@Bundeskaiser]

@@Scheherasad But will people get that? I doubt it. They already didn't get Silvia Night even when it was very "on the nose". And even in the 2nd half I think is performance is quite awkward.
