The stuff in parentheses ( ) are my own notes (Aquariusfin)...
Sauli Koskinen, the most famous boy friend in town.
Sauli is the Cinderella story of the city’s gay communityr. Walter de Camp is looking for his shoe.
Once upon a time on an evening on November 6th American Idol star Adam Lambert has had a sold out gig at Kaapelitehdas. It had raised emotions with his fans. Jenng from Hyvinkää explains in her blog:
“When Adam came on stage, I started to cry and scream and I was completely hysterical.” After the concert ended Jenng writes:
“Adam is not coming back to the stage and the gig was over. I cried.”
After the concert Adam Lamberg and his entourage head into the Helsinki night. With him he has band members, dancers and other personnel as well as his tour manager and a couple of Finnish record company representatives. They head to the VIP section of Teatteri (a night club, where a lot of the local celebrities go).There are no sightings of Sauli Koskinen at this point. Sauli had not gotten himself a back stage pass to Adam’s concert. Cristal Snow (the owner of Jenny Woo) assures that Sauli had not met Adam May 2010 when Adam visited Stockmann (the department store he did his signing).
“I know this for sure”, says Cristal. As the evening turned past midnight, Adam and his entourage moved from Teatteri to Jenny Woo. The host of Jenny Woo says:
“Adam had visited Jenny Woo previously and his record company contacted us and asked, if Adam could visit us. And we made it possible.”
The other host at Jenny Woo, NikoLa describes the situation:
“That Saturday night in November was busy. When Adam and his group came, it brought about a small panic. We had to organize security personnel to make sure he could have any peace.”
And NikoLa continues:
“Part of the group, dancers and other crew left to go back to their hotel. A small group stayed with Adam. Record company people and his tour manager. After midnight they left and as Adam was leaving ne noticed Sauli.”
So Sauli left with the small group?
“This is my understanding and I have understood that they left on foot. Afterwards I heard that a group had followed them.” NikoLa says.
No indication that Sauli had tried to approach Adam. He didn’t go and introduce himself to Adam at his table, even though it would have been easy. Sauli played it cool.
The number is not accepting calls
So Sauli and Adam were seen walking in the dark night of November towards Adam’s hotel. There is no information about what happened or didn’t happen at the hotel (they obviously don’t know about the Bridge!). When you trace the story forward you end up in Paris.
Just as Helsinki inititally wasn’t a stop in Adam Lambert’s Glam Nation European tour, Paris wasn’t either. Anyhow, November 18 Adam performed at the sold out 700 seat Le Trabendon concert hall at Avenue Jean Jaures. It was Adam’s first visit to Paris. He sent his fans a message letting them know he had visited Notre Dame, the Louvre and Crazy Horse.
When Adam Lambert’s European tour was ove in London on Nov. 29, Adam suddenly travelled to Paris again spending days there beforer returning to the US, where he had a concert at Club Nokia Dec. 16. At the same time Sauli Koskinen travelled to Paris and Adam and Sauli were photographed there together.
In January Sauli flew to Los Angeles, where Adam Lambert lives. Adam and Sauli were photographed together for example in Disney Land.
In the beginning of February I received a text message saying: “Sauli is in Helsinki!” I started calling Sauli’s number. I heard the same voice over and over: “This number is not accepting calls.” Sauli never answered my text messages, either. He doesn’t want to be interviewed.
The biggest thing that has happened
Sauli and Adam’s relationship has raised a lot of attention in all the people in Finland, who have follower Big Brother. Everyone is assuming that Sauli and Adam are in a relationship, even though there is no actual knowledge on this. In the gay community Saulis scoop has raised as special buzz.
Ilkka Veistrom, who is in chage of gay travel advisory puts it in short:
“When Sauli attacked fame through BB and now world fame, he is actually living a princess fairytale. This is like in the British court: a common labourer all of a sudden becomes the empress of the country. We can be proud that we have a representative out in the world. Ofcourse this raises attention especially in the gay circles and a even a liitle bit of jealousy, but not the mean kind. The Wou! kind.”
A lot of gays want to talk anonymously: “In Finnish scale this must be the biggest thing ever! It is a huge deal for our country, because we have nothing we could even compare this to. Renny Harlin and Geena Davis are nothing compared to this.”
This is about an ordinary guy, a clothes store sales clerk Sauli, becoming a celebrity hunted by the paparazzi of the world.
If the BB house was full of people like Sauli
Four years ago, Sauli Koskinen was working in a clothes store in Helsinki. He was born in Hyvinkää and moved to Helsinki. Sauli has told that his father was initially poor, but has managed to get ahead in life and is currently making good money. Sauli has said, that he would like to follow his father example some day and also make money.
2007, when Sauli was still working at the clothes store, a regular female client in her 40’s started to tell Sauli to apply to Big Brother.
Mikko Räisänen was working for Metronome at that time and in charge of BB casting. He says:
“We travelled all over the country and interviewed appr. 1000 people. Sauli was one of them. The first casting interview with Sauli took a minute or two at the most before Kim Sainio, the executive director and I decided to put him into the house. The main criteria were positivity, likability and openness.”
There are always un-sympathetic people in the house as well. Is there a quouta for the sympathetic and the un-sympathetic?
“There is no quouta, but if the house was filled with people like Sauli, everyone would just be having a really fun, sympathetic and happy time together. Then we would not have any strong emotions, and as we are making reality tv, our goal is to get a diverse group of people to the house.”
Were you aware of Saulis sexual preference?
“Yeah, everything is covered very thoroughly. It had no affect, because Sauli’s main characteristic was a good resident.”
Golden Sauli
Sauli’s favourite club already from before BB has been DTM (DontTellMama). He has also visited Jenny Woo quite a lot. A lot of the DTM clients knew Sauli from before BB, and they gathered to follow Sauli’s success in the house every Sunday evening in front of the video screen.
An anonymous client contemplates BB’s affect on Sali:
“Winning BB and the money wasn’t a huge deal for Sauli. He has continued the same life he had before. Sauli was a very visible and styled personality already before BB. He has never been the most un-noticed on in a crowd. He has always had his hair done and all his accessories to ensure he looks good. After BB he just become a lot more known and especially now, after this Adama thing.!
Already after his BB victory, there was a buzz around Sauli. This is what a DTM regular tells:
“After BB it was good if he could get in through the door without hugging and answering questions. That is where I get my respect and admiration for SAuli: I have never seen or heard from anyone, that he would have been in a bad mood or not caring about the people who want to talk to him.”
No one has the least bit of a negative comment about Sauli Koskinen. Instead, everyone has something good, even touching to say about him. For example, Sauli has used his own VIP pass to help gays without VIP passes to get into gay clubs.
And Henna Kalinainen says:
“Sauli helped me once, when I was assaulted. Sauli found me in the rest room, wiped blood off of me and helped me. Sauli is really sweet.”
Maybe they found a common tune
Sauli Koskinen has never, for money or without it, said a word about Adam Lambert. He might have had to sign a nondisclosure agreement or maybe he just hasn’t had a desire to say anything.
“For starters, Sauli is not the person who wants to share every sneeze in his life to other people.” says one of Sauli’s fans.
“I have not heard from anyone that Sauli would have said anything about Adam. He appreciates his own privacy.”
If Sauli Koskinen would have opened up in DTM or Jenny Woo, even to just a single person about his relationship with Adam Lambert, the rumour mill would have started. But Sauli has not spoken.
And, when nobody knows anything, there are wonderfully romantic scenarios invented in the night clubs of Helsinki.
“It may just be that two people, who truly like each other’s company and like each other, met. I don’t think that Adam Lambert lets other people into his circle just like that.”
FOOTNOTE:
Eeva-Helena Jokitaipale, editor of 7 päivää magazine, how much money could Sauli Koskinen get for Adam Lambert revelations in the US?
“American magazines pay according to how hot the information is. I would think the amount could be 6 figures USD. I am sure it would be an even bigger scoop there than here. And it is a big scoop here, too. After all, there was a Stockmann full of screaming girls when Adam visited there.”

Adam and Sauli - two very nice people. Hope it works out for them. Adam said awhile back that one thing he feared was growing old alone. And, as he told Perez, it's even more difficult to find someone now that he's famous. Good luck to both beautiful guys. Love, Lee
