  Here it is! The incorruptible, infallible and most reliable Blogilkar's Home Jury made of people in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, mainly Finnish and mainly those who turn into Eurovision only on that one Saturday night, enjoy the show and that's it. Most everyone heard the songs for the first time so this was a true first impression judgement. And thus they had no idea about the fan polls, betting odds and trivial information and expectations.

He's an Euroviison veteran, having provided backing vocals to both Sennek (2018) and Hooverphonic (2021). Now, he takes the spotlight with Because of you .  Final results: 1.
