It's impossible not to love this guy. 💚
He's too adorable to handle.
I don’t know what it is about this guy Käärijä but every time I watch him he makes me feel happy. I so hope he wins. The world needs more people like him.
Me too. He brings joy and love and light to this dark time. I think he's an old soul. 💖🌌🕊 So much love to all! 💖
In autumn I saw his youtube for the 1st time, and I wondered why he is not famous, such charisma.
@@Paivipkk Well said.
+1
He got second :(
@@gamerfroger He is still our Eurovision winner 🏆
Käärijä is the best discovery in ESC history.🥺🇫🇮🥳
no
yess🔥
Yes ❤
yeah
Agreed !!
Käärijä is iconic ❤ Song is banger ❤ Hope he win and can have his Pina Colada 😂❤
❤❤❤
💖
All this alcohol talk. Not fresh.
Goofy laughter, green nail polish, beer belly, bubbly personality, hilarious accent, amazing energy - this guy is one of most iconic performers ever!
no beer belly, he isn't just ripped
But sometimes a beer for the bear ❤😊
And he is also humble ( a good vibe:)
If you think that's a beer belly then you better not ever see me!
What's a bear belly? He looks nothing like a bear.
He has such a positive aura, he'd be so much fun to hang out with! Hopefully he could teach me some of the Finnish langwargae😂
What a charming man he is!
It's crazy. It's party. It's puppy. He is too adorable our Pup 🐕🥺
William brings out the best in everyone. I really feel, in my heart of hearts, that this is Finland's year, but obviously we shall see what we shall see. At least I can finally vote from the USA!
Is ESC a thing over there like it is in Australia? Bc of time difference I guess it will be 5pm or something lol 😆
I totally agree with you. He is so talent
@@JadedKate Not quite, but over the years it’s been getting more and more popular as artists like Måneskin and songs like Arcade and Snap become popular via things like TikTok. Plus there was the movie and the American Song Contest, so baby steps! We’re getting there.
Lovely interview. Some really talented people on the wiwibloggs team love Cinon and Deban's contributions too
@@JadedKatenope definitely not at the same level of Australia, very few people are even aware of ESC still! The time difference is kind of nice though, the finals start at 3pm so it’s a fun day party 😊 (On the east coast anyway!)
He deserves the world 🥹 pls win 🤞🇫🇮
Oh my goodnes, that Kaarija's laughter is soooo full of joy that you cannot but laugh with him 😍🤣😍
Our adorable puppy makes us so proud. 💚🇫🇮💘 We love him. Thank you William, you are a gem. 💎😘
It doesn't matter if Käärijä wins, loses. We all met Käärijä.
Post-Eurovision: Well, this aged like wine, sadly, but still stands even stronger than earlier when I made this.
True, he’s a gem!
It does matter quite a lot to Finns, in fact ;D
@@florenna We'll make sure to vote. 😉🇫🇮
He is beyond adorable
I will vote as many times as possible
He is such a sweet and genuine person🐕 I hope he wins ♥️💚♥️
No one improves their english this fast. Props to Käärijä!
Finnish people are quite apprehensive about speaking it if they haven't practiced much, but he's had 2 full weeks of ONLY speaking English. It's also not the most difficult language and you can understand it quite well, even if you don't speak it.
I feel I am fairly good in English, when it comes to reading or writing, but if I had to suddenly speak English I would suck so much. I think pronouncing English is as hard for us as pronouncing Finnish is for English speakers. For example I don't think Spanish or Swedish is that hard to pronounce as English is. And it is not just the pronunciation, you need to change your way of thinking in a way to get your speech flowing because the grammar is so different. But I think that after two weeks of using English I think it would become lot easier.
nordics do
Also Fi language is really special, everything about it is just different.
Finally two people with such a vivid mimics have met each other 😅
Käärijä is a lovely, sweet and joy guy.
He is the best. I hope he can win. Good luck Finland ❤❤❤
He is such a sweetheart ❤❤
God, he is so sweet and chill. Definitely a bro you can be easily friends with.
He's so lovely, so positive guy :D
he is an icon already! and also so humble and sweet! he deserves to win this year💚
Oh my...you can't find a nicer guy....❤ 😊
he is the best and i adore his simple genuine personality
Finding Kaarija was one of the best things that happened in my life. He makes me so happy with his videos, interviews and songs
William honestly is the best at interviewing and makes the artists feel at ease! Thanks WiWi! And Käärijä is soooo sweet and funny 🇫🇮
Käärijä is such a nice person and with an epic ESC 23 track for Finland!! All the best of good luck, joy, vibes and Chahaha
I like that William speaks easy english with no heavy accent! Käärijä is great man! All the best to him!
He's so precious, we need to protect this puppy for sure, and William makes the best interiews, like always. I saw La Zarra and this one, and he just makes them laugh and smile, I LOVE IT!
❤❤❤❤ for Kaariah!! he's my winner already!!
Kaariah Carey 😂✌️
Great interview with Kaarja. I like him and his great song so much and I wish him all the best of luck in Liverpool ❤❤❤
Ther reason why many people don't believe him the story about how he lost his costume is that in most countries people would don't bother to return it but simply would immediately try to sell it :D
FINNISH PEOPLE ARE HONEST. AND IT WAS ON THE NEWS WHEN HE WENT TO MEET THE FAMILY WHO FOUD HIS BOLERO. LATER KÄÄRIJÄ SAID HE WANTED TO TALK WITH THE FAMILY PRIVATLY AND PLAY SOME GAMES WITH THE KIDS, BUT THE MEDIA JUST CAME THERE ALSO.
Sorry about caps i did not notice that i hit the caps tab, lol. I dont want to write again all that
Just Google "the lost wallet study" - Helsinki came first 11/12 "lost" wallets returned :)
Käärijä is 💯% amazing 💪👍👍😍😅😁
The Käärijä makes people forget the evils of the world with this 💯% positivity, that comes out of him every time in an interview or when he performs on stage!!!
What is level of evilness when someone is still really mean towards him, even when he/she watch his interview? 😅 I see one like that and oh man, that person must be really miserable.
@@shalonen8259 Taas näitä kaikenmaailman nillittäjiä! Enhän minä K arvostellut.
@@Maria_KL en mä sua tarkoittanut, en todellakaan 😂täällä on vaan pari muuta katkeraa nillittäjää ja sinä et ole yksi niistä.
I think i love him for real. My life is only work and look at his videos. 😐😍 I need a drink 😂
Lovley interview!! Kaarija is so sweet!
sweet neon angel cutie i hope he wins, he has my vote 💚
Adorable comment 💚💚
What do you mean "the dark horse to win it all". He is a contender to win it all, no dark horse.
Because we will obviously win? :) 🇸🇪
Correct. Käärijä is going to win. Period.
This guy NEEDS a Pina Colada! Get him a win, make him SLAY Loreen and he will get a reward for his hard work!
Loreen: All i need is love.
Käärija: All I need is alcohol.
Sums it up. Give the victory to Sweden.
@@evipevi1973 u can make a non alcoholic pina colada u know 🤨
So u like Loreen, we get it....but stop hating on Käärijä
I would love to have a puppy like Kaariya in my house😂 what a lovely guy, so humble. That's why I hope he wins ❤
what a lovely guy
So sweet omg I am dying !! 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🙂🥰
He’s a funny bastard! Looooove him .He deserves this so much!
please vote for him in the SF1!
Reminds me so much on my lovely Finnish friends who I miss al lot. Great guy!
Please meet the winner of eurovision 2023!
Love the representation of Finnish rally-English ♥ Käärijä for the win!!
I adore Him so much. I would marry him tbh
me too and im straight
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
He is adorable
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Can that man be any better? He is consistently just a really amazing personality.
Dutchie supporting this likeable guy. Go Finland 🇫🇮😁
Ah my heart, our lovely puppy 🇫🇮 🖤💚 so proud
this laugh is just to contagious
I love you both! Great interview, great energy.
I think confidence helps a lot with language as much as it does with performance. Kaarija has charisma, spirit, and he seems so fun
He is such a lovely human being 😭😭😭
This guy is adorable!! Charismatic, talented, sexy, funny,.....I hope he wins Eurovision. I don't know if he will get more points, but I'm sure he has got more hearts 💚💚💚💚
If he’s a normal guy form Finland (the happiest country in the world) that must be the secret to your question 4:20
Actually it's not... Weird how people have taken a reseach comparing welfare benefits, lack of corruption etc. (where Finland became 1st) so bloody literally, when those things have actually nothing to do with actual *happiness* 😂😂
@@elvinam888 I agree that Finland's ranking has been misinterpreted/misreported but benefits and corruption *very* much affect happiness. Look for example at the effects of poverty and disability rights. Iirc both Gallup's World Happiness Report (and probably its other publications) and Our World In Data show well how both those and corruption and other related things affect wellbeing on national levels.
What a lovely interview!
Remember to vote 💚
He will bring us the second victory hopefully
I love him! Such a sweet guy it seems! He’s my number two this year but would me more than happy if he won!
Love it!!!
When Käärijä was younger, he was very ill. After he recovered he decided to fulfill his dreams. Maybe that’s why he is so positive
Oh wow ..two great guys 😊
It's crazy. It's party.
Oh I love him 😍
🇫🇮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Adorable ❤
Remember to vote guys!
Love him!!
William, as usual you are the B E S T regarding interviews. 🫂♥️
what a lovely interview! käärijä is such a sweetheart
The fact that he doesn't drink alcohol at all makes all of her antics even funnier because that's the proof that you can still be goofy and have a great time while staying sober.
Käärijä is❤❤
I love him. Marry me 🇫🇮
so cuteeeeeeeeee
William, Deban and Cinan - the best Wiwibloggs journalists/interviewers.
Deban is also good
Dont forget Deebaaan
Justice for Deban!
I love Katie too, and William's sister is funny af
Cinan and Luis❤❤
My current runner-up this year, and he seems like such a cool guy too! Excited to see what he has in store for us in Liverpool
At the time when the Käärijä lost his outfit, it was still winter in Finland. Finnish winter is really cold and snowy and icy. I think that what happened here was that the car trunk lock had frozen shut and the door had not closed. Fortunately, the winter in Finland has already ended many weeks ago. Happy spring to all Eurovision fans🤗
Notice he says 'when I win'.
I'm as confident as he is he's taking it this here. This is just what Eurovision needs right now
So good interview
He is such a lovely lad and I think this is our winner for 2023 - with a summer smash hit
He wrote a song! 💚
Fascinated by the decision to do this interview right outside the toilet door
Finns are typically good at English grammar and writing but they are shy to speak it, Käärijä is the complete opposite of that. I love how confidently he expresses himself even though his English isn't perfect. His vocabulary has grown a lot in such a short time. 👏
Kaarija is by far the biggest threat to Loreen. he's really breathing down her neck
Give that man a damn pina colada!
We really go from Sam Ryder to Käärijä this year as the happiest man mon earth. Gotta loveeee them!😌💅🏻
his english has improved a lot! 🙏🏼
I'm in love with both those guys ❤❤❤
He’s sooo sweet. Love his laughter….
Tw0 best guys there t0ghether - William and Käärijä!
Käärijä please marry me.
Love this guy. hope he wins it all!
You are such a great interviewer!!!
Ihanaa thx ❤😊
William is pretty much carrying Wiwibloggs
He doesn't drink?😯😯 Here's my image busted then... But he sings so well about drinking, so he probably meant not at the moment 😉 (Which may be a good idea, considering the whole Eurovision rumba.)
Yes, not at the moment 😁
❤🎉
