Käärijä speaks about this crazy adventure that Eurovision has been until now and how he copes with all the heavy expectations on him as a possible winner.
It's crazy... It's party... It's Käärijä!

Currently, the bookmakers give "Cha Cha Cha" a 23% chance of winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. A jump of 6% following Käärijä's first rehearsal in Liverpool that included a few surprises:
– We have been rehearsing a lot and there's something special coming... Like a surprise. We will still have the dancers and wear the same colours, use some of the props but there's something new... You'll see. I am a surprise man!
We now know Käärijä did elevate the stage by including a big wooden box as well as adding a dynamic LED. Adding more elements doesn't necessarily help understanding what he is trying to do on stage.
– It's just a bunch of crazy things. I want to put on a crazy live show and make people think "what the hell is going around there?" But I will say I completely love the part where I get to control the dancers. When I do it I think "I am such a boss man!", he laughs.
He goes on to share that the overall performance is a product made by a whole team and that not all that we see was his idea. For instances, his outfit:
– The outfit was presented by someone else and when they showed pictures of it, I immediately said "that's mine, I want to wear that". I had never seen anything like a bolero! Read More…
