Alternative title: A man displays more empathy & emotional maturity in a 40 min interview than entire countries.

[@conversekitty3378]

Amen

[@dianecooper2483]

I’m an English lady in my 60s and I love this young man. He deserves to go far in life.

[@yucku]

Thank you so much for the subtitles. I don't think I've ever been this intrigued by a musician before, let alone someone I got to know thanks to Eurovision. Jere is right -- Käärijä is a phenomenon. You could look at them as two sides of the same coin, and these two sides are both equally magnetic and attractive. Käärijä is amazing, but what completes it is Jere himself as an individual with his down-to-earth personality, his emotional intelligence, his self-awareness, his introspection, the kind of healthy mindset where you know your shortcomings which you accept and try to make them better. I found myself surprised at how much I can relate to him in some ways. I wish him all the best in the future, because no doubt he's got immense pressure from this sudden fame. I think most people would cave under the weight, but it's comforting to know that Jere is surrounded by people who really support him. He's got the making of a great guy who people can look up to, and he can use his platform to do great things if he so chooses (whether as Käärijä through his music, or just simply as Jere). Honestly, it sounds cliché to say this, but we need more great people like him. He's won my respect and appreciation, for, perhaps, years to come. If I had to choose a favourite part from this interview, I'd say it was the part about the time-travelling. It's such a simple, yet multi-layered question that, if taken seriously, can show one's true colours. I loved Jere's answer to this question.

[@Sinivalkoseepra-yz1ke]

Such a good analysis. I agree with all of it. And I was also impressed with his answer to the time travelling question. I have now watched this three times, and after every time I feel so... I'm not quite sure what's the right word. Impressed? Having great amount of respect towards him. And inspired to grow as a person myself.

[@mikanchan322]

I feel exactly the same way but you've expressed it better than I can. I liked him before, but this interview really showcases his..wisdom? Intelligence, yes, but also this sense of having experienced a lot in life and having learned a lot about himself and the way life works. He really seems to understand who he is. I love how he openly speaks about being sensitive and experiencing emotion intensely and the way he has learned to regulate that. Like you, I could really relate to some of the things he mentions. The time-travelling question really only required a light-hearted answer, but his answer again showed his thoughtful and empathic nature. I have a new, deep respect for him.

Kudos both to the interviewer for asking such interesting questions and to Jere for being so authentic and vulnerable. He seems like a really honest, grounded, self-aware kind of guy.

[@kmn_000]

Now that English subtitles are available, I watched this interview, and....man, I literally cried, especially where he talks about his parents. I just want to appreciate his family. Käärijä is not only a wonderful musician, but a good person, and mom and dad definitely influenced that. Thanks Yle for working on the subtitles for non-Finnish speakers!

[@fanciot]

An intelligent guy much more mature than his age, with a capacity for introspection and analysis of the outside world. If he can carve out his moments of solitude in private, and if he has genuinely friendly people around him who give him good advice, people who are not parasites, this artist will go a long way in whatever field he wants to pursue, not necessarily music. In English he does not yet express himself at a high level, but STILL manages to be very communicative and witty. In his native language, on the other hand, he communicates a very deep and damn interesting view of the world and of himself very well. Unexpectedly, I like the thinker Jere even more than the Käärijä-character, which I already like very much.

[@KaleunMaender77]

I don't think he necessarily needs to learn English; I just think Google Translate does a good enough job that it has a "conversation" feature 😅 but to be able to speak in deep concepts and self-analysis to such an unbearably deep and comprehensive degree is something that a lot more people are capable of than we think, but simultaneously, whether truthfully or ostensibly, a lot of others don't seem to appreciate so much. I think people need to self-assess from time to time, but preferably not to the degree that that self-assessment would lead to self-flagellation. People need to be aware of themselves. People need to be introspective, and be able to recognise the good and bad within themselves. People need to acknowledge what they know is good and strengthen the good points, and they need to notice what they know to be bad and work out how best to resolve those bad points in a way that will minimise harm to themselves and to others around them. By about 30, one should be able to live with oneself, to live in one's own skin, to be aware of the consequences of actions and behaviour, and to accept the prices to pay for those consequences. It's very difficult to express in a manner that doesn't sound like asking for self-flagellation and beating oneself up, but people need to be more aware of themselves, and the people around them, and the ways the two parties interact with one another.

[@adelen6379]

This guy is just a pure diamond . Good interviewer too

[@stygio.medusa]

He's so incredibly self aware about the whole surreal experience of going through Eurovision and his effect on people. It's really refreshing. Wishing him all the best with his upcoming projects - can't wait to hear them!

[@kolejnytrup]

So, good job Jere's parents. Well risen child. That mindset we all talk about in comment section doesn't com from thin air.

[@youtubecat9526]

I think what united millions who don’t share a language is that literally all of Europe except one country had to learn english. Like yes I can speak and write it and all that but it’s not my language, it’s not how I think, how I feel, it’s not my mother tongue. And I believe thats why people love to hear artists singing in their native language, it feels real, it feels right, and in interviews in the native language I see the person for who they really are although I don’t understand a single word but I don’t necessarily need to because if I listen and watch carefully I hear and see their emotions and emotions are a universal language 💚

[@paulinamd5046]

Thank you for sharing and subtitled this wonderful interview. Jere it's a model to follow: his courage to talk about his mental health, his down to earth answers, and even if I don't know a word of his mother language, he put the nail about how corporal expression (his voice and hand gesture in this part of the interview *chefkiss*) and be true to yourself it's a universal language that conected all people around the world to Käärijä, to him (Jere) in this thoughtfully interview, and his work. From Chile 🇨🇱, I send all my love to Jere & Finland.

[@alisa8321]

I have mad respect for this guy. He is open and honest. He's painting us a picture about his journey - and shares all the ups and downs with us. That requires some courage. He also seems really passionate about these topics and seems to enjoy meaningful and deep conversations. Thank you also Tommi for this great interview ❤

[@vesnakitanovic7274]

This is how an interview is done. Open questions to make connection. Thank u YleXFeat for bringing out Jere and talking about things that matter, on a human level.

[@astronauticaI]

The moment Jere said "I'm not playing a role, I'm trying my best" about speaking in English, I felt like I wanted to noclip to Finland and hug the dude. And interviewer Tommi too, for good measure. Thank you for this interview and adding subtitles so us non-Finnish speakers can appreciate it, too. Best interview I've probably seen.

[@saprix0268]

Thank you so much for the english subtitles to this. It was one of the most insightful interviews I have ever seen, really went deep on the difference between Jere and Kaarija, I loved to hear about it. The fact that he was the one that lived all the finnish support the least was what hit me the hardest personally. I can honestly say that Kaarija has become a legend now, at least for me, and I really hope he gets to achieve even bigger things in life. His story really was a huge help for my mental health. Kiitos Ylex! Kiitos Kaarija!

[@katherinak1455]

First of all BIG THANKS for creator of this interview, one of the best interview i ever saw in my life❤ All those I heard today made me like Jere even more, because he have such a huge soul and wise mind. It's easy to shine and smile when you got easy life and "flying somewhere in the sky" with your thoughts, but all that Jere did as Kaarija, so many positive energy he found inside his difficult huge internal world and gave for peoples around the world in those dark times - IT'S INCREDIBLE! He is real HERO, much much more than just a winner.💚 Finland have real treasure and i understand why you so proud of him, because he is a person who deserves huge respect, no matter Kaarija he is or Jere🤗

[@katitiikkaja610]

Olipa ihana, lämmin ja kunnioittava haastattelu. Molemmat aidosti läsnä. Tommi oot ❤, valmistautuminen priimaa ja annat tilaa vastata, mutta ohjaat keskustelua sujuvasti. Käärijä on ilmiö, Jere ihminen sen takana. Kunnioitettavaa miten tervepäisenä pysynyt tässä pyörityksessä.

[@TheManninen]

Halusin tulla ihan ite sanomaan, että kiitos 🧡 Tällaiseen kokemukseen on pyritty, kun tätä konseptia on suunniteltu. Ihana, jos pystytään se suunnitelma myös tarjoamaan käytännössä 😇

[@gler3179]

THE SUBTITLES ARE HERE! AHOY! first, kudos to tommi for doing his research. it's not a "i'm doing this for more views" talk where both parties pretend to be interested in each other; no, they both seem to have just enough things in common to build an understanding. the communication major experience shows for sure. then there's jere, who i find very... fascinating seems to be a wrong word, but it is what it is. he's confident, but not arrogant. he's funny, but self-aware (extremely self-aware, even). he raps, but it's not a slur fest - of course, not every rapper is like that, but just enough of them are where you learn not to expect good things from a lyric translation. he knows about his shortcomings, and he is honest about it, and he works on it. he allows himself to feel things. to someone with 0,5 positive male influences in their life (me), jere's a unicorn. i'd say role model, but he didn't sign up for that. :'D i'm really looking forward to his future releases, as jere and as käärijä both. it's rare that i want to believe in an artist - there's been so many scandals with celebrities and youtubers i used to watch that it's hard not to be pessimistic. but man, jere is finland's best "cultural export" this year (if not decade). not to put him on a pedestal or anything, but it be like that. now i'm gonna go and rewatch the interview once more because it gave me a lot of food for thought on personal matters. a lot. kiitos!

[@samstarba4569]

You might have to prepare for him to get drunk and end up in a wrist fight after a sports game. 😅 That seems to be a common theme for many Finnish celebrities. But usually the celebrities in Finland are kinda down to earth. For example, when I was doing grocaries in a small, distant store, I ran into a celebrity who is both a former MP member and one of the most recognized musicians. He had biked there to pick up a package.

[@gler3179]

​@@samstarba4569 i'll keep it in mind, but honestly, better that and/or gambling that shit like dating underage fans and threatening them if they speak out, for example. of course, death of the author exists as a concept, but i find it hard to separate actions and creations of modern artists, since their experiences and views still influence their work. it's such a bad feeling every time, ughh. like a personal betrayal of some sort. but i kinda wanna give jere a benefit of the doubt. i hope he has more opportunities for sophisticated interviews, if he wants to. :D his words about the confidence to, well, be yourself (even if that self struggles with english) hit me hard, bc im definitely that person that can't pull off an outfit even if it's tailor-made. in general, i think i'd like to be more like him when i'm in my thirties. finland is cool. i want to move there someday - i like the culture, and the cold, and, admittedly, a better judicial system that doesn't jail you based on a made-up case when you disagree with it. there are other reasons, like the language (it's awesome, even if the literary/colloquial difference spooks me a little), a good education system etc. has its downsides too, ofc, but the snow is whiter on the other side xd

[@samstarba4569]

@@gler3179 I really hope that he won't get caught for doing smth utterly disgusting! I'm not getting a slimy vibe from him at all, and hanging out with underage fans is not a huge problem in Finland in general. However, you never really know what people do behind the scenes. I'm glad to hear that you find Finland cool. 😊 We have our ups and downs, as any country does. However, living in another country can be a wonderful experience, even if some things turned out to be difficult.

[@aeonarin]

Käärijä is insanely charismatic and endearing, and I'm happy I got to know him, but damn, I wish I knew Jere from Vantaa. He seems to be a good apple. Thoughtful, perhaps even introverted, and someone that craves meaningful connections, the same way me and mine do. For a minute I couldn't understand why is he not reveling in all this success, and then I realized how extremely tired I get when I have surface-level social obligations for a single day, and he had to do it for months. I hope he can recharge and keep the Käärijä thing going, because he sparks joy and I'd love to see more of him, but even more so I hope he can recharge and keep Jere going with joy, because he is even more of a treasure. Great interview and I think Jere appreciated the connection you offered. Thanks for the translation!

[@samstarba4569]

I'm not sure if he's introverted. He's probably one of the most extroverted Finns I've ever seen (just insanely thoughtful as well). If you want to see a Finnish introvert in action, I recommend checking out Kimi Räikkönen.

[@aeonarin]

@@samstarba4569 I mean, being introverted doesn't mean being non-social. I'm often mistaken for an extrovert, because I'm loud and confident, and open up easily, but I'm actually the most introverted introvert that ever introverted. Being with people, especially the ones I can't go around with no pants on, exhausts me and I need a LOT of alone time to recharge.

[@clarissablue9026]

@@aeonarin well i'm both introvert and anti social and käärijä is everything but introvert, somehow totally opposite of me, but i like him a lot and sometimes wish I was like that

[@suvijii841]

Introverted through and through! The need for re-charging is a textbook example of an introvert, also the "masking" he does when putting on the Käärijä role. Introverts also often learn to be very good actors, because that's what they have to do all the time: pretend to be interested, pretend to smile, laugh, to be social. Introverts also usually have few good friends & love to hang out with their families, because they already know them & no need to mask or pretend.

I can't thank you enough for adding subtitles! What an incredible interview - much credit to the interviewer for asking very real, thought-provoking questions and holding space for Jere, not just Käärijä. These 40+ minutes flew by. The emotional intelligence and self-awareness from Jere commands so much respect. As fun and iconic as his persona and his music is, it is the person behind it all that I now admire the most.

Ero Käärijän ja Loreenin välillä oli myös se, että Käärijä oli kavereineen tehnyt oman biisinsä. Käsittääkseni Loreenin biisi tuli Ruotsin Euroviisutehtaasta samalla muotilla kuin ennenkin. Onhan se nyt huima ero. Loreenilla on hyvä ja vahva ääni, mutta siihen se jäi. Biisissä ei ollut persoonaa, esityksessä ei ollut persoonaa, ei ollut mitään mitä ei olis ennen Euroviisuissa nähty!

[@coutryside]

Joo samaa mieltä. Itseasiassa ajattelen et kun ensi vuonna on Abban 50 vuotis bileet niin kyllä Ruotsi on laskelmoinut tarkkaan miten voitto saadaan. Eli pyydetään Loreen mukaan ja Ruotsin "musiikkilaboratoriossa" tehdään hänelle biisi, käytetään melodioita vanhoista biiseistä, "hiteistä", tiedetään et entisenä voittajana Loreen vetoaa juryyn, en osaa sanoa onko tässä mukana jotain suurempaa diiliä!? Käärijä oli aito Loreen taas keinotekoinen tässä kilpailussa, kieltämättä hyvä ääni mutta ei koskettanut! Kilpailussa oli parempia laulajia kuin Loreen mielestäni mutta...tää on tätä!

Toivottavasti jengi ottaa myös oikeasti onkeensa noista Jeren puheista ja ymmärtää että hänkin tarvitsee yksityisyytensä ja oman aikansa, eikä ole mitään julkista omaisuutta, vaikka Käärijä julkisuuden hahmo onkin. Jos näet siis Jeren siviilissä liikkumassa, kannattaa miettiä kaksi kertaa onko nyt se oikea hetki mennä repimään hihasta ja pyytää sitä pakollista kimppakuvaa tai videotervehdystä kaverin serkulle. Joskus voi ihailla kaukaa ja fanittaa ilman iholle menemistäkin, ja täten kunnioittaa ennenkaikkea Jeren omaa toivetta. Ihminen hänkin on, ja tällä hetkellä selvästi uupunut sellainen.

First of all, thanks a lot for the interview and for the subs! Must say I am impressed with some kind of maturity and wisdom of Jere and I hope he will manage with the fame and will keep caring about his self-care. At the same time, I wish him not to be lost after Eurovision and keep being successful at what he's doing. Plus, this interview reflected in me a lot, because I used to be extremely harsh to myself after any fails or defeats (as I thought), so, I am working on that. Although I think Jere should not see his second place as something bad, because his success is a huuuge gap for Finnish music. And the talk about path to the dream, its expectations and reality of living it also sounded very in time for me. In general, I wish him all the best, to stay safe and healthy and again, kiitos to Tommi. He's an amazing interviewer!

[@majesticmiu9564]

34:35 : This is the reason Käärijä (Jere) is so well liked. I'm glad he can see that it's just him being him and we all love it!

[@juuliawarrior1188]

Tämä haastattelu oli upea, on mahtavaa oppia tuntemaan Käärijässä piilevää Jereä paremmin. Todella lämminhenkinen, kunnioittava ja rento haastattelu ja oli ihana kuulla myös Jeren syvällisiä ajatuksia ja negatiivisia puolia tästä kaikesta, oppi ymmärräkään paremmin kaikkea, mitä Jere on tuntenut ja kokenut tämän matkan aikana, ei todellakaan ole ollut aina helppoa ja kivaa. Jere on oikea symppis, niin ihanan aito ja avoin ihminen, en voi saada hänestä tarpeekseni, toivon hänelle vain kaikkea hyvää. Hänen kaltaisiaan ihmisiä harvoin löytyy. Olemme todella ylpeitä hänestä ja on ihanaa, että hän pääsee nyt lomailemaan, hän todella on sen ansainnut.💚

[@Goddybag4Lee]

Great interview and wow Jere/Käärijä is such a gemstone. He really is a great guy.

[@TerzitosWife]

Wanna thank Jere's father for introducing him to heavy music! As a girl who preferes rock, metal etc. i do enjoy yelling, guitars in Jere's songs.

[@TN-bp2cf]

Jere on niin symppis tyyppi, että on mahdotonta olla pitämättä hänestä. In english: Jere is such a sympathetic guy that it's impossible to dislike him.

[@Balnazzardi]

Same goes for Loreen...which is why I really hate to see some hateful comments coming from both fangroups. Both of them deserve respect

[@lightshadowsmusic]

Great, sincere interview. I appreciate the subtitles too. To be able to understand this authentic exchange that focuses on the artist as a person. I was happy to discover Kaarija /Jere through ESC, but when I saw how big he was becoming so fast, I did wonder how he was feeling about it. I love creating music, but I am a very private person also. It is so good he has such support around him and the wisdom to view what is happening from such a balanced, healthy place, and to give himself the break he needs to continue. I don’t know that I would ever experience something, so large and rapid but if I did, I would hope to have such support around me also. I wish him well. What a fun, engaging, energizing, and intelligent artist.

[@burnltblue]

Wow now that's one of the best interviews I've ever watched. Thank you so much for that.

[@MissKinuski]

Tommista vois tulla joku ajankohtaishaastattelija tv2lle. Tosi hyvä haastattelu ja kysyttiin erilaisia kysymyksiä mitä jo satamiljoonaa kertaa kysytty mediassa. Sai nyt ihanasta Jerestä irti ihan oikeita mietteitä. ❤ Tsemppiä molemmille

[@lucidsmack1694]

Jere on kyl freesi äijä. Liia moni jengist esittää tulevansa kovemmist lähtökohdist mistä on tai hehkuttaa katu-uskottavuuttaan, mutta Jeren krediitti tulee just aitoudest mist sen pitäisikin tulla.

[@mishynaofficial]

Yes, I really like that he’s just himself and not trying to put himself out there to impress anyone. What a solid lad!

[@YleXFeat]

Word.

[@eels3658]

Great interview, he does indeed spread joy and the translators help him do that, so thank you for the subtitles. 💚

[@Karok00]

Vitsit, miten ihana haastattelu! Sulla on Tommi upea tapa olla läsnä ja tavallaan ”maadoittaa” myös haastateltava siihen hetkeen ❤️ Ja kiitos Jere, olet ihanan aito ihminen. Toivottavasti me fanit osataan tulevilla keikoilla antaa myös sulle takaisin sitä hyvää energiaa, mitä sä jaat ympärillesi. Ihanaa lomaa ja ikimuistoista festarikesää ☀️💚

[@miguhe5126]

What a great interview! Such profound, real, direct speaking, sympathetic, lovable and down-to-earth guy he is! What a great role model for all of us but especially for youngsters. Thanks for giving so much joy for all of us this spring. Cha Cha Chaaaa! Go Vantaa! Have a best holiday! 😀💚 And @Manninen, big thumbs up!

[@taika.melissa2798]

On olemassa ihmisiä, joille toivoo kaikkea hyvää vaikka heitä ei edes tuntisi kunnolla. Jere on mulle yksi heistä. Haastattelu on yksi parhaita mitä oon ikinä nähny. Se on tehty tunteella ja ajatuksella, ei pelkästään rykäisty kiireellä jotain yhdentekevää.

[@crimpyfuzzball8]

Thank you so so much to whoever helped to subtitle this! Such great questions to make a really insightful interview ❤ with beautiful lighting and camerawork too - paljon onnea and kiitos to the whole team!

[@LeilahT]

This is hands down the best interview with a musician I’ve seen. Informative, sure, but so much more! The questions and the answers - everything was so thoughtful and earnest. You don’t usually come away from interviews with new insights on life, but this one - absolutely. The interview was so smooth and comfortable that I assumed they had grown up together, right up until the end. Fantastic job, both of you. 🌻

[@matchalatte42]

Thank you very much for the subtitles - what a great interview and what a smart, thoughtful guy!!

[@RichySpeak]

Oon kuunnelu Käärijää jo pari vuotta ennenku melkee kukaa siitä ties. ja pakko sanoo et se on hoitanu ERITTÄIN hyvin tän koko hypejutun. Mutsiki sano et se oli tajunnu et Käärijä ja Jere on oikeesti niinku kaks eri ihmistä ja et se on oikeesti tosi fiksu äijä. Käärijä ansaitsi kaikki ne yleisöpisteet, ja mukava nähä tälläst rentoo jutteluu ku on nähny vaa sitä euroviisu juttuu mis kokoaja tapahtuu jotai.

[@heidipeltonen9366]

Sama täällä mieheni kanssa ja on ollu aivan mahtava nähdä kuinka hän on jakanut sitä iloa (ja vertaistukea) maailmanlaajuisesti! 💚 Itselleni Fantastista on edelleen henkilökohtaisista syistä lempibiisi, mutta kaikki muutkin ovat mahtavia ❤

[@heidipeltonen9366]

Ja siis sanomattakin selvä jäi sanomatta että olen kommenttisi kanssa täysin samaa mieltä 😊

[@YleXFeat]

🙏🏻😌

[@absurdanza]

Tommi is absolutely amazing, and this was such a respectful and kind interview. I know it's a lot of extra work, but is there any chance of adding subtitles to the rest of the videos? I'm starting to get into Finnish music and I'd love to watch more! ❤

[@miyune1110]

Jere on vaa nii ihana! En oo nähny noin aitoa persoonaa hetkeen! 😍 ihanan positiivinen

[@vanelope7133]

I love hearing everything he says, he seems like a great person and artist, and it makes me happy to know that he is dedicated to his music because I really love his songs. Great interview, thanks for the subs

[@miiaalinikula6765]

Molemmat niin taitavia sanoittamaan itseään, sanavalmiina. Loistavaa analysointia molemmilta. Ehkä parhaimpia haastatteluja ikinä. Kiitos!

[@katarzynaszyperska5563]

Thank you for the English subtitles ❤️ We have to remember that the rules of every competition are relative and are embedded within the nature of reality, of which we are largely unaware. We are simply playing and cannot truly take this seriously. The results are merely a reflection of the rules of common perception, and in that regard, I am certain that Käärijä is the true winner for many individuals.

[@mishynaofficial]

He is 💚

[@eemi-sika896]

Tässä on kyllä aivan valtavan upea roolimalli. Oon ihan mielettömän ylpeä hänestä, ja todella onnistunut haastattelu.

[@ttanjakatariina]

Olipa hieno ja rauhallinen haastattelu, jossa oikeesti otettiin aikaan kysymyksille ja vastauksille, eikä vaan kiireellä siirrytty seuraavaan. Hyvää työtä Tommi 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Jere vaikuttaa edelleen, tän ihan järkyttävän ison suosion jälkeen, todella symppikseltä ja nöyrältä tyypiltä ja ennen kaikkea aidolta! Näyttää mahtavaa esimerkkiä nuorille niin monella eri osa-alueella 💚 Parhaan biisin lisäksi oon onnellinen, että just tollainen persoona on tän kaiken hypen kohteena! Erinomainen tyyppi luomaan mielikuvaa Suomesta ja suomalaisista maailmalla 🥰

[@YleXFeat]

Kiitos😌 Ja jaan kyllä ton onnen sun kanssa💚

[@Anna-zb6ou]

Toivon todella, että Jere löytää itselleen aikaa, tilaa ja rauhaa. Ja että ihmiset osaisivat kunnioittaa hänen yksityisyyttään.

[@tedecoo]

Thank you so much for the fantastic translation, I enjoyed that immensely!

[@Nina_220]

Thanks so much for the subs! Until I learn Finnish... 😁 Sending love from Croatia 🧡

[@vikasintti]

Jere on kyllä ihan uskomattoman fiksu ja tunnetaitoinen. Ihana haastattelu! ❤ Edit. Mun lempikohta oli varmaan tuo kysymys rakkauden kielestä korvaamassa englannin kielen taitoa. Tosi hyvä kysymys kaikessa imelyydessään ja tosi hyvä tiedostava vastaus Jereltä.

[@Anna-zb6ou]

Jere on niin aito, hyväsydäminen ja vilpitön ihminen. Hän on kyllä aivan mahtava tyyppi. ❤️ Ja tää haastattelu oli aivan priimaa. Tommi osaa hommansa.

[@xx-dx9oe]

thanks for the subtitles! kaarija is such a down to earth and thoughtful guy

[@raisarahikainen9784]

Sydämellinen, iso KIITOS syväluotaavasta & lämminhenkisestä keskustelusta niin Jerelle kuin Tommillekin ❤️ Oli ilo katsoa, kuinka vähäeleinen, rauhallinen haastatteluympäristö sekä hienosti taustatyönsä tehneen Tommin lempeä olemus sai vantaalaisen Jeren rentoutumaan hyvällä fiiliksellä ihan omana itsenään. 🙏 😘

[@outikane]

Hyvä haastattelu, Tommi! Kysymyksesi johdattivat asioihin, joista kymmenissä haastatteluissa ei ole puhuttu. Käärijän hahmon alta kuoriutui Jere, joka kertoi ajattelustaan aidommin ja syvällisemmin kuin muualla. Kiitos molemmille! ❤

[@tommilaitinen5555]

Jo jostain alkupään haastatteluista kun Jerestä saattoi tuntua vielä upealta lähteä UMK:n jälkeen Suomea edustamaan, taisi sanoa, että laittaa 100% peliin. Sanoisin, että taisi mennä paikoin 110% puolelle. Myllytys kesti kuitenkin useita kuukausia ja oma huoleni oli pitkässä juoksussa, jo reilu kuukausi sitten, että miten mieli ja keho jaksaa. Heitin hälle yksityisviestiä Instassa, että muistaisi myös lepuuttaa ja nukkua välillä, koska kertoi tuossa välissä nukkuvansa pari tuntia yössä. Omasta kokemuksesta tiedän, että jossain vaiheessa mieli notkahtaa todella, todella, todella alas, vaikka muuten olisi kivoja asioita edessä ja takana. Varmasti sitä nyt sitten käsitellään, ja jos samanlaista tai vähänkään vastaavaa myllytystä on edessä vielä kesäpuolella, ne lepo- ja hiljaiset hetket on vaan sitä tärkeämmässä asemassa. Ja varmasti tekee toisaalta hyvää käydä näitä keskusteluita sitten vaikka ihan median edustajien kanssa, koska näistä se ihmisyys siellä kaikkien maskien takana välittyy, ja näkee sitten myös sen, miten haavoittuvaisia sekä herkkiä me kaikesta menestyksestä yms. huolimatta ollaan.

[@kirkku2457]

He has a great personality. Even he asked people should not hate Sweden and Loreen who stole the champion. Tatoo is still by far the most hated song from Eurovision 2023 and even in all Eurovision winning history!

[@d..b5490]

Thank you for the english subtitles! They're so appreciated💖

[@mishynaofficial]

6:50 Jere is just an everyman. I also enjoy watching shows more than living my life.

Kiitos Manninen(+team) kun pidät yllä tasokasta vanhan liiton popparihaastatteluita, ajankohtaisesti ja ajan henkisellä painoksella, kiitos! Kiitos Jerelle kun olet, teet. Ihan poikkeuksellinen ihminen ja Käärijä-hahmonakin😊

[@sofiajokitalo1080]

Kiitos mahtavasta haastattelusta! Jere on niin symppis ja aito tyyppi, kun voi ihminen olla! Ihanaa että just Jere on saanut tän suosion ja näyttää aidosti oman itsensä ja persoonansa. Isot tsempit💚

[@ArigatoraShi]

what an amazing interview

[@hydrangea2969]

Olipa hyvä haastattelu, tykkäsin et tässä käytiin läpi myös niitä hämmentäviä ja negatiivisiakin tunteita rauhallisella otteella. Kiitos molemmille osapuolille!

[@mfromfin1800]

Onhan meininki ollu varmasti aivan älytöntä pidemmän aikaa. Kuka tahansa olisi helisemässä. Lepo, oma rauha jne. on äärimäisen tärkeää, jotta jaksaa! Kiitos Jere, että puhut ja näytät tunteesi esiintymisten lisäksi ❤ Oot opettanut niin monelle niin paljon ja tuonut kansakuntaa yhteen maailmanlaajuisesti. Kiitos 💚💚

[@thisusedtobemyrealname7876]

On kyl harvinaisen aito tyyppi! Jos cha cha cha iloista meininkiäkin kaivataan lisää näinä vaikeina aikoina niin kyllä tätäkin. Tsemppiä tulevaan Jerelle! Edit: Myös hyviä kysymyksiä haastattelijalta, kiitos siitä!

Kiitos upeasta haastattelusta! Saan aina fiiliksen kun mä kuuntelen Jereä et joo, nää ajatukset tulee todella lämpimältä ja positiiviselta sielulta. Maailmassa tarvitaan lisää tämmöstä asennetta! 💚

[@irynabondarenko610]

But as for a person who survived the war two times (back in 2014 and the one now is still in processing of surviving), it is strange to hear from someone wishing to go to war to know how it feels like. Man, I wish no one ever gets to know that kind of horror and grief.

[@brookewoodroffe640]

"I'm not playing a role, I'm doing my best" Damn he spit facts right there

[@swedishdossers3492]

Huikee setti. Manninen loistava valmistautuminen, selkeesti näkee Käärijän syttymisen, hyvä tunnelma, mennään diippiin mut ei kuitenkin syvimpään päätyyn. Puhutaan henkeviä hyvässä nosteessa 😃
