I'm having a hard time understanding the speed she's singing with let alone playing the instruments (both of them) the same time... Incredible talent and very pleasant voice she has too.
I feel like the difficulty is overhyped. But maybe that’s because I’ve been playing guitar and singing most of my life. You just learn the instrument part well enough to where it’s automatic. It’s not really any harder, just takes a little longer to learn songs and work out the timings.
The fun fact is that Finnish is an extremely slow language, where actual tempo of how letters are pronounced is relevant to understand the words. Some people can even sound like in slow motion. But in this case they really killed it. It's the fastest Finnish I've ever heard.
They have much longer and jointed words, like Germans, so their word/min rate is slower. For example, "joint venture agreement" is "yhteistoimintamenettelysopimus"
You noticed that too. There is so much passion in the way she sings. And the way he plays the banjo. He is so phenomenal, I love the way her lips bend while singing, you can feel the song as they are preforming, there are some things in the universe that happen so perfectly sometimes. And this was a perfect show.
This is surely the funniest, most special, outstanding and different comment in the history of platforms attached to or that incorporate a commentary system. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, what a genius.
For anyone wondering , this song is talking about a boy who takes a girl, Ieva, to a dance. Ieva's mother doesn't want her to go, but eventually, she and the boy sneak out. After the dancing, they hook up. They go back home and Ieva's mother is mad and Ieva starts crying. The song ends basically with the boy telling the mom he loves Ieva and will not give her up. I just stole this comment from someone who basically stole this comment from someone who basically stole this comment from another Ievan Polka video in which the comment writer basically stole the comment from another Ieva Polka video
You know when Finn is getting angry he says perkele between teeth and start to do what ever needs to. It is called sisu. Nobody can stop angry Finn with sisu rush!
That is such a captivating performance from both of you. And I really love this version. She sings with such intensity, and he plays the banjo the same way. So good you guys. Thanks , I watch this over and over.

Piękna wersja! Jedna z lepszych jakie było dane mi usłyszec 😁😁😁😁👍 Pan na banjo bardzo ładnie wywija pod koniec, aż musiałem sprawdzić, czy nie mam przyśpieszonego filmiku. 😆😆😆
I used to think korpiklaanis version of ievan polkka was my favourite but wow! you guys blew me away, this is fantastic. guess I have two favourites now (:
The melody is easy to learn for anyone, the lyrics are the hardmode. As a native finn i can't sing along with this because it is a dialect nobody speaks anymore apart from those who learn it for this one song.
Amazing rendition! However, I can't help but praise the great work of the editor. The editing enhances the dynamic of the song, as well as the artists' expressions. Thank you!
Seems one of the most demanding vocal interpretations for this polkka, but I'm not Finnish so I'm not the right judge. Regardless, my appreciation goes to the beautiful and talented singer.
well I am from Finland and still dont know if this is any good or not.. lol (and she looks like my sister.... not sure about the banjo thou.. pretty certain that is not a finnish instrument :D)
Yeah, this is definitely very fast tempo mixed with some interesting variations in singing. An extremely demanding and impressive performance by her, indeed!
Well.. It's the one-&-only popularised native redux. And please.. Don't kill me over 'the N word'. As I do know that Polka itself, is not indigenous to Nordic region. Besides, your killing-authority is neutered by your 'Anonymous Cowardice' so..
This has got to be one of the best performances. And probably my all time fave, of a singing couple, she comes in slow and smooth , the. Just rips the roof of the house with her passion. The guy rocks it on the guitar, they are ripping it up together out there and giving it their all. I love you guys so much? Thank you. Please come in to Chicago. I would love to see you guys in person, you rock
Whilst I do really enjoy the performance I wouldn't really call what she's doing singing in the strictest sense, it's more like so g speaking (like what Bowie used to do) but with less of a melodic factor (asides from the natural musicality to the Finnish language). Again it doesn't really take away from the performance at all imho, I hope you are able to get what I meant. All the best to you.
@@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS you're kidding, right? lol of course she is singing.... she's vocalizing a melody, right? that's called singing. There's a spot where she raps a bit, and a spot where she yells a bit, but the rest is straight-up melody.
I think this video proves that most celebrities are the same few people over and over, playing roles. You can't convince me that this isn't Seth Rogan and Taylor Swift putting on a show.
I envy this guy with banjo so much - mostly this indescribable joy and satisfaction coming from fiery and top notch performance! Also - I am finding it very fascinating how some woman I can pass by, without even noticing, however "shiny" they may be and how some of the unforgettable, mystic and beautiful creatures can carve themselves in my brain and make me come back just to watch and listen. ...strange animals - humans, aren't we...?

But I said to her, Ieva, now don't you weep
