Finland’s Käärijä has made it to the Eurovision final on Saturday with her song Cha cha cha.
Finland has reached the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The result was decided at midnight Finnish time in Liverpool, United Kingdom, where the contest was held instead of Ukraine.
– Although expectations were high beforehand, I feel relieved now. Now I’m looking forward to the final and the big H moment,” said Käärijä, commenting on the mood.
– The game is certainly not over yet, and it’s not time to celebrate. Now just keep your heart rate down, even there on the sofas at home. Let’s put our boleros on and see you in the final.
Käärijä’s survival to the final was said to be the fourth country. The countries were announced in random order.
