Käärijä and Loreen are still the two overwhelming favorites to win the Eurovision Song Contest.
Wrapper or Loreen? That’s the question being repeated in Liverpool.
Sweden’s Loreen is number one in betting. Suomen Käärijä, on the other hand, won the poll of the public watching the five generals on Monday. A total of 2,480 viewers responded to the survey.
Suomen Käärijä received no less than 41.70 percent of the votes. The share of Loreen, who came in second, remained at 15.40 percent. The figures are flattering to Finns, but this is a new survey. The audience in front of the TV may vote differently than those in the hall.

All the same, Käärijä’s popularity in Sweden has been noticed. Aftonbladet even regretted the result of the survey.
However, the wrapper’s chances of success are not to be underestimated.
– Finland deserves a victory in a certain way. UMK is so developed, and Cha Cha Cha is a hit in Finland, Aftonbladet’s experienced wisdom reporter Tobbe Ek says Iltalehte.

– It’s wonderful that you dared to vote for such a song.
Ek does not hope for a victory for Finland.
– My heart beats for Sweden and it would be great if Loreen won again. I hope that Finland is the second. I’m sure the Swedes will give Finland 12 points. The final will surely be a real Finnkampen!
