[@olvr2271]

His English has improved so much

[@selenbetul]

Yes yes 💚

[@paulaautio4251]

Haha 😂 are you sure? But he is so cute ❤

[@juliethompson5301]

A lovely guy 💚🖤

[@ER-lh4sx]

He has learnt to say exactly ❤

[@arusyakeskijyan2944]

Why is his English mast be perfect? This is not a contest of the English language. He is an extraordinary performer, and that is all we need. Only his smile does more than every perfect seid English word.

[@sam_k]

Damn I've never been this proud of someone we've sent to Eurovision. He seems so lovely and the song is amazing

[@shaairah]

Ditto!

[@ioi649]

Finnish delegation : "How many neon green/black outfits do you need for Eurovision ?"
Käärijä : "Yes."

[@familyguy1885]

you are wrong, it's '' yes yes'' xD

[@vanessafrey3557]

He's so cute, i can't 🥺💚🖤 Hoping very much that he wins🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@CinnamonBlade]

he is so precious i cant even, bless him and i hope for Helsinki 2024 💚🖤💚

[@JK-cg3rb]

Tampere 2024

[@hanna-mariauvinen3361]

Yes, the next ESC will take place in Tampere, that's for sure. In Nokia Arena. Yes yes! 💚💚💚🤩👌🥳👍💚💚💚

[@hanna-mariauvinen3361]

Actually Käärijä said in one of these interviews that if he will win the contest will be in Tampere.

[@suppohkram]

Käärijä can be so crazy so party but he can also be so earnest. I love that about him 💚

[@alexandrasgarn]

i'm so in love this has to stop

[@sielukettu]

Me too it's ridiculous 😆

[@fangirlinneverland6335]

Literally

[@Classified564]

Same! It's getting unhealthy xD

[@ela_istcrazyitsparty]

Yes.

[@dreverie]

[@hanomazom9670]

Lovely Käärijä ❤

[@sophiapilati7551]

this guy is gold

[@punaviinihaarukka]

Beautiful human being, both inside and outside

[@demem6478]

He‘s so charismatic. And if someone don‘t like it just go away and listen or watch something that makes you Happy 🤗🙏🏻

[@Cane78]

The blonde guy filming is actually his brother.

[@lauravision2791]

Is there any way he could do Eurovision every single year please??

[@clambloom4539]

I am not saying I have a huge crush on him but that's exactly what I am saying.. 🤭

[@artistique_mind]

Hahaha

[@kimslice9993]

William was waiting for him to say pina colada 😂

[@zemonsta]

Simply lovely

[@KarenJones-wx1bl]

The more I see of him the more I love him.

[@ymi2.02]

I must say, the production level this year is so much better than in Turin

[@tinan2179]

I liked the energy in Turin as well as the turquoise carpet arrival setting better, but preferred the musical arrival of each artist and their actual welcome in Liverpool. Special shoutout to TIM 🇺🇦 and SAM 🇬🇧and RICHIE.🇬🇧

[@JustSaying001]

🇫🇮 My hero, my winner! ❤

[@emmettcarlsson2739]

Käärijä is so sweet, can't wait to see his show tomorrow ☺💚💕

[@headwound]

How's he so charismatic 😭 I love this guy

[@BlarLjoskottur]

Käärijä & his team 💚 Finland all the best on the Tuesday 9th, a fan from Iceland

[@LucyInNightmares1]

I love him so much

[@paidatomriehuja]

I wanna marry him

[@kunojaga]

No, I'm gonna merry him 😊

[@smallblueangel]

how can anyone not love this man?! he is so full of love!!

[@user-xl6jv6yh1g]

Omg just stop being so cute already!!!

[@Scheherasad]

The sound problems are still not fixed. He had no rehearsals with working in-ears ? Poor Käärijä

[@BartekKowalski-qi4rj]

👍👍👍

[@diananilsson07]

0:03 omg blanka and loreen interaction!

[@tuijasaari1463]

The blond guy with a camera is Käärijä’s brother.

[@SilverStrumer]

He’s biologically blonde?

[@pirjosaarimaki6925]

​@@SilverStrumer Käärijä is naturally dirty blond.

[@notanarchitect1146]

Käärijä is such a sweetheart

[@Hienohomma2]

I will always love him, he is my idol and all of my five sons idol.

[@amandab2337]

I was disappointed with his answer to the question "What will you drink?". Surely it has to be Pina Colada 😂💚

[@tasvapontaranne6373]

He drank it yesterday 😅

[@thankots385]

Good luck...kaarija

[@Sonnen_Licht]

Not really related but I love I Feed You My Love playing in the background

[@urbanvoice8318]

WINNER 🏆💚

[@mayanord]

Break a leg Kääri

[@miljdollarboy82]

💪🏻🟢🟢🟢😎

[@UsernameUsername0000]

Loreen and Blanka had an entire conversation in the background

[@AnnaWisniaWisniewska]

Zen .. masakra

[@lilalu8470]

Why he have do drink alcohol to enjoy i dont get it 😼

[@film4o]

I hope he doesnt buy real leather, because this would be not only disappointing and ignorant, but cruel too.

[@Kaarijaendedyourfav]

He does and apparently it’s not even made from cows…😬

[@pikyogkrblx4433]

Finally, he's wearing something to cover up his body. Please keep that for the shows.

[@Piia2023]

It's only for the cold weather he wears it

[@etozhelev2]

what's your problem damn

[@ga1axyshad191]

Please actually go chew gravel. He is comfortable in his body and if that makes YOU uncomfortable you're just fragile and insecure.

[@pikyogkrblx4433]

Good for him. The reasons why I said what I said are because:
1. If they asked Ronela from Albania last year to change clothes because it was exposing, I don't know why they haven't asked Kaarija yet
2. Families with young children watch Eurovision and I think his performance and outfit are not very family-friendly at all.

[@demem6478]

@@pikyogkrblx4433 and that‘s exactly the reason why they don‘t change it. Oppinions are like butt***** everyone got one. And sometimes not in a good way dear.🤗
