Thanks for the recap. It must have been so awesome to see Käärijä live. 😃 I hope Käärjiä wins Eurovision. 🥰 I would assume they will change the wooden pallets to something else in Liverpool, since that joke doesn't translate outside of Finland. No matter what, Käärijä will lift the roof off the arena in Liverpool. 🔥🔥🔥 I am so jealous of the people who get to see him live there. Yes Loreen is a threat, but I'm hoping she doesn't win. Much love from Sverige. 😊
At this point in time Cha Cha Cha is still my number one (despite some things I didn't like in the live performance). That's by far. I'll be happy if he wins at least the televote.
I saw you guys in the after party😁 I was there both in kenraali and finaali. Quite a show! And was so great to meet many of the performers after the show. Was especially nice to talk with Bess and Portion Boys and Samu❤️ I still have some of those golden glitter things in my bag that were flying from the sky🤭 Ja Käärijä tulee varmasti lisäämään pyröjä ja kaikkea muuta showhun Liverpoolissa. Niin hän puhui haastattelussa. Toivon ja uskon että Suomi tulee pärjäämään tosi hyvin! Jopa voitto on mahdollinen💚💚💚
I love your uploads! My opinion: - Benjamin: One of the songs I've listened to the most this year. In the live version, he was probably the artist who differed the most from the studio version. So the 7th place was okay, but the song as such is among my favourites, not only at the UMK, but in Eurovision 2023 as a whole. - Lxandra: A very good live performance. It's sort of same category as Elsie Bay from Norway. Quality in so many aspects, but the melodic part isn't as intriguing as the other UMK songs (but it would still be in my top 20 if the song had gone top Liverpool). - Kuuma: My favourite song of UMK this year, although it's close in the top. The version on stage lived up to the studio track. I have no problem with the more moderate background graphics - it fits their image. - Robin: This was my least favourite song from the beginning, and it still is, although I think Robin was one of the best live performers on the night. The song sounds like a commercial or a soundtrack from a sitcom. - Keira: A well-written song that sounds extremely well in the studio version. I had my doubts about the live performance, but Keira was good! It's just not the style of music that I like the most, so it's not in my top 3. - Portion Boys: It's one of the best songs I know within it's genre. And the band's live performance lived up to it, although their outfit was quite different from what we saw in the music video. I think this song could have done well at Eurovision - but then again, so would most UMK songs! - Käarijä: It's the right choice for Finland in terms of Eurovision. Having said that, it's not the UMK song I listen to the most. Staging wise, I think I would have preferred a real boxing ring like in the music video.
I´m a little confused. At first I got the impression that you really enjoyed the UMK final live, but then when you analyzed the performances one by one I got the impression that you were disappointed about most of them. It´s not about right or wrong, but I was just a little bit confused. I guess you enjoyed the event and you thought that the overall level was great, but you just suggested some improvements. Am I right? And then another question. You don´t have to answer if it feels to personal, but I´m curious about the background to this channel. At first I thought that you are a couple and Arttu is the reason for Leah staying in Finland and I also thought that Leah would´ve found the Eurovision Song Contest through him. But now I´ve changed my mind and I think that you are friends who share interest to the Eurovision Song Contest and maybe Leah is even a bigger Eurovision fan than Arttu. Your relationship status is none of my business otherwise, but I´m just curious to know more about the background so can you share with us a little bit about how an American got into Eurovision Song Contest and how you started to do this thing together?

Robin was calculative, ypu can buy song or love.

Good luck on getting an answer. 🙂 They haven't answered anyone else in 4 days. I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@nian60 Maybe we both get lucky in a few days :)
Is the girl single?
