its eurovision saturday and the finals are happening, hows it going

[sitruunaleipa]

Finnish people have gone absolutely crazy with Eurovision this year. Some towns have changed their coat of arms to look like Käärijä for this week. Statues are being dressed up in the iconic green bolero. Grocery stores are selling Käärijä buckets that have pinã colada ingredients in them. And now people have started selling completely random green things on this online marketplace called Tori.fi and labeling them as "Käärijä themed" and it is the funniest thing ever

Sometimes I love Finnish people

GUYS!! You can watch Käärijä's next live show from anywhere in the world!!

Käärijä is performing in Helsinki this Saturday, May 20th and you can watch it live online, no matter where in the world you are!

Since it's going to be streamed on the Finnish public radio's (YLE) site, I'm assuming it's free to watch.

Show starts at 8 pm Finnish time at yle.fi/euroviisut

UMK on ig

if a country has like a 200 point lead just from the professional and unbiased juries you know something is VERY wrong with the entire voting system

I don’t think that I’ve ever seen Finland go this feral for our Eurovision contestant. We’re dressing iconic statues in Kääriä’s green bolero, the political parties are doing designs of their logos with Käärijä incorporated into them. Even my grandma says that she has never seen people go this crazy over Eurovision.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t heard of Kääriä and Cha Cha Cha. When previously many hadn’t even hear the song before semi-finals. And honestly, I’m living for it!

It’s crazy it’s party!

Okay I know some finnish have propably been very disrespectful losers, I have too been too harsh on Loreen. But can we talk about the swedish newsreporters for a second?

Sweden WON. They WON Eurovision. And what is Sweden making news about? Making fun of Finland and throwing tantarums at finns for not giving them public votes.

Wonder why that happened.

Sweden WON and Loreen made history. First woman to win the Eurovision song contest twice. She should be celebrated. So why can't swedish be happy?

"Our weird little brother Finland is throwing a petty fit for losing" "Finland used to be part of us" "Sometimes the public is wrong".

Camoon Sweden, you won. Why do you have to rub salt into wounds?

"Some Germany got votes but not us" "I don't think they can find 10 better songs than Tattoo" "Finlands voting was rigged"

Thats what Sweden is saying. Instead of celebrating Loreen it seems. Because of course a nation of 5,5 million people can throw a national campain to not vote Sweden. Makes a lot of sense.

Also our commentator got some of this too. Apparently Mikko was telling everyone to vote tactically. In fact he read a joke from the live chat about tactical voting and no countries were mentioned. So no, YLE did not incite any camoain against Sweden. Loreen was actually Mikko's favorite.

Käärijä was descriped as "harshly partying salad bowl". Cool Sweden.

Of course we also have "shame on Finland" "fuck them" "stupid people".

You know, listening all this you would think Sweden lost. And I would have understood all this if they did, cause Finland has been saying these too. But Sweden WON, Loreen WON. THEY WON. So why can't they be happy instead of being bitter for not getting a few votes (which didn't affect the end result in any way) from Finland?

Loreen deserves better and Finland doesn't deserve this shit from Sweden.
