He has made the song impressing his own music , like is the way here in Finland. ??Music demokratic country. ?? Käärijä song is the best song !! His sound is really brilliant. Even in my work in playschool this is the favourite song right now. Käärijä=??????.

Comment of appreciation for the tenderness of Marco when he speaks in English. He tries to keep the liveliness of Italian, but but he understands that he is not yet fully able ahaha

Anyway I really like his voice (even if I think that he had done better songs in his life).

Also, I really like Remo and Victor’s voices 🙂

I wish them luck even if I prefere other songs

Marco is my favorite artist from this batch, but that’s because he’s the one I’m most familiarized with from my mom’s time in Italy.
As for the contest, my favorites are Luke Black and Kaarija

It’s not the same jurors in most countries every year, though

I apologize in advance to the fandom of the Finnish, but in my humble opinion Luke Black mops the floor with Mr. Cha Cha Cha any day of the week and twice on a Saturday…

Masterpiece about the song don’t even bother to listen? The word has been used too much, that has suffered an inflation. 🙂

I don’t really get the hype on this entry. He is obviously charismatic and great on the stage. Even if I find the song a bit chaotic and the performance quite basic, the whole package is effective enough for a well deserved top 10 this year. Winning package? Cha Cha Cha. Really not for me.

Maybe it’s the IT factor, it’s not my favorite but I wouldn’t be mad if he wins

In terms of songs alone Marco and Luke are my winners. Andrew, Victor, Remo, Kaarija and Pasha also have songs I like or at least sometimes enjoy.
In terms of vocals I think Marco is a clear winner. Remo and Andrew also have good voices with Victor also being good considering his young age.
In terms of performance Kaarija and Luke win this with the former being unapologetically fun and Luke being artistic.
Ultimately Marco and Luke win here for me.

I don’t think the juries will bury Finland. They didn’t do too poorly in 2021 and I think this is more grabbing
