They broke the Eurovision public vote record, but still managed to lose to Sweden due to jury votes
Why is it that whenever that kind of thing manages to happen, it is Finland losing to Sweden 😅
That's what I'm f*cking thinking!@@Sinivalkoseepra-yz1ke
@@Sinivalkoseepra-yz1ke Swedes are just so damn good. An unforgettable exception was the 1995 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships. Finland beat Sweden 4-1 in the final.
Nope! Ukraine has the record!
@@WienerVL yeah, but... y'know the war might've helped them a "bit"
This song got the most public votes but lost slightly to Swedens Loreen
most public votes ever in history :D
In my opinion there should be a rule that if you once win the whole thing, then you couldn't take part later again. So Loreen should not even had been there. She already won that once in 2012.
@@oh2mpagreed. But then again im not mad even though it did hurt as Finn to lose. Because atleast as person I do adore Loreen, even though im not exactly fan of her kind of music. But she as person she is amazing and the girl sure can sign and perform and Euphoria is certainly one of the most legendary Eurovision songs
But ye the moment she won Melodifestivalen again it was clear she had bit unfair advantage going into this competition because she was ofc Eurovision fans favorite and she had the fame/reputation already
I can't get enough of this song. And it's been, what, 13 months now since it was released.
Maybe you should listen to track this copies: Electric Callboy -We Got The Moves
@@UltraCasualPenguin I know that song, CCC is not a copy. It resembles WGTM a little bit in the beginning but that’s what happens when you write s song: at this day and age, it’s impossible to sound 100 percent original, there will ALWAYS be someone shouting copy.
ECB said them selves it’s not a copy.
I find it cool to hear how the audience joins in to shout out the "cha-cha-cha"s throughout the song.
Cha cha cha was also number 1 on Spotify's Viral top 50 global chart for a bit. And e.g. number 6 on UK Chart, which was the coolest thing ever as the song is in Finnish. 😊❤
Käärijä is the best 💚💚 mad respect for him!! He seems super down to earth, has an awesome personality and a history of battling UC which he is super open about - and yes, those scars on his belly are from his surgeries. Made me fall in love with Finland and Finnish language 🇫🇮💚
whats UC?
@@MrKevlarkent stands for Ulcerative Colitis, he had severe internal bleeding was hospitalized and almost lost his life, they ended up removing his large intestine entirely; all that happened in his late teen years when he was still playing hockey - he had to quit after;
Ok, now you have found my number one obsession ever! 😅
I would have so much to say about this topic that I don't know where to even start. But let's just say, that Käärijä really made Eurovision history, and became a legend that will be remembered. I'll never forget how the audience in last year's Eurovision was chanting his name during the votes being announced. That was something that has never happened before.
He caused like half of Europe to go completely mental! 😄
Before Lordi, hard rock halleluja won eurovision we had saying that hell will froze before Finland will win eurovision.
Im from Finland and i really cant understand how that song was second. Song singed in Finnish, and almost won. What a day to be alive..
Käärijä is awesome, and the energy there must've been crazy...💚🤘🎶
I don't usually much like the Finnish songs in Eurovision, but I like this one for some reason. Käärijä came second after Sweden's Loreen. The jury gave "only" 150 points to Finland compared to 340 for Sweden, so it was almost impossible for Finland to win after that, but the public overwhelmingly voted for Käärijä so in the end the gap wasn't that big. Many still think that Finland should have won. Because of the voting system, sometimes it happens that there is a big difference between what the public likes and how the jury votes. There were many countries where the jury didn't give any points at all to Käärijä.
I think most of us Finns see this only as a reason to be better in the future. The whole election process was 'interesting' though.
Yeah, the jury definitely seem to treat it more as a singing competition than a song/performance competition. Really hope they'd do it like the finnish UMK votes go. 25% jury, 75% audience.
Käärijä absolutely overbooking his schedule and being throat/body tired during the finals didn't help, heard the jury performance didn't go too well in general, hard to say. He's definitely someone who exels in front of live crowd.
The juries are comprised of pretty much exclusively pop music experts so of course they are going to favor that genre. Eurovision juries are pre-emptively favoring that genre over anything creative.
@@Noksus Probably all about the money. If they get a radio friendly pop song it will be streamed to death, and probably channel money into Eurovision.
I think honestly voting should be revamped. Make Jury to be more known and have to give more indepth reasons For points would be a great start in my eyes.
This song is now waaay the most listened song in Finnish, on Spotify over 126 million streams. My favourite, too! 🎉😁
After this I discovered all of his older songs (and now some newer). I been to conserts in Finland, Sweden and Estonia so I am broke. He did an European tour and everyone in the audience could sing along in Finnish. He is just wonderful! His personality as well, he made a friend in the singer in the Slovenian band Yoker Out (Bojan) and there is a lot about their friendship on YT.
I didn't like that song when I heard it the first time, but later I felt that it is actually a good party song. And then I noticed that Käärijä is a fun guy with great sense of humor and good attitude. And I was really surprised and impressed how popular it became. Last summer in Lithuania I heard how some locals sang that next to a bonfire while they were drunk 😀
This song is very literally about trying to overcome that Finnish reserve, you should read a translation because his lyrics are very good.
Thank You from Finland for this reaction again. I totally love this and Käärijä has other good music as well.😊
You cannot tell what genre this is 😄 Impossible. Käärijä is amazing . He should have won !
You only just found this 😁! There is plenty of crazy stuff from Käärijä. Enjoy! There is a lot of music and creativity in Finland 😄. And keep an eye on Eurovision this year.
Love ypur reaction!!! What a night!!! The public blasting the CHACHACHA in and outside the arena.
Please react to Ruoska at UMK2024!!! Käärijä belongs to the stage
2023 marked a new era in my life, before and after Käärijä 💚 He's amazing and he SO should've won Eurovision! 🥳🎉
I totally recommend listening to more of his stuff. Kovis, Kiertävä Sirkus, Z, Rock Rock, Mic Mac 💛
Can't wait to see him performe with Erika Vikman at UMK tonight! 😍🎉
Thank You Mert Fin for your reaction! 🎶
If you want to listen to more music from Käärijä, try Mic Mac and Välikuolema, i really like those!
My favorite is Hirttää kiinni. I was listening it way before käärijä was in eurovision.
Or huhhahhei 🔥😊
He is my favourite contestant ever, now. He won 71.48% of the public vote.
One of the greatest thing about Käärijä and this song was probably the massive hype it caused here in Finland. Lot of different remakes of Cha cha cha, little kindergarten kids dresses as Käärijä etc. (You should totally check the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s version of Cha cha cha.)
This is partymetal/partyrap. It is so good! Check out German band called Electric Callboy who does their music in the same genre.
This is not my type of music, but even I took part of the party. It was incredible to see the media room dancing and chanting with Käärijä and that audience yelling KÄÄ-RI-JÄ to win. Who would have thought all these foreign people singing and chanting in Finnish??
And the song is such fun. Still.
Käärijä calls this genre party metal.
No, he didn't win, but he came in second, and there was a bit of a controversy about that actually. Käärijä got more televote points than anyone else ever in the entire history of Eurovision, except for Ukraine in 2022. The only reason he didn't win was the fact that the juries gave Sweden such a lead in points that it was basically impossible for anyone else to catch up. A lot of voters were upset and felt it was unfair that it was basically a small number of juries who decided the winner and overruled their voting.
Käärijä has a lot of other good songs too, try It's Crazy It's Party or Huhhahhei :)
Are his other songs blatant Electric Callboy copies too?
@@UltraCasualPenguin I guess you've yet to find out what 'genre' means.
@@sk70091 I listen to more genres than you.
But go ahead and compare music part of Kääryle's Chachacha to Electric Callboy's We Got The Moves.
@@UltraCasualPenguin I have. They don't have much in common actually.
@@UltraCasualPenguinhave you compared Tattoo with V Plenu?
This song Cha Cha by Käärijaä was 2nd last year and Sweden won with Tatoo by Loreen(her 2nd win in eurovision).
It´s been a year now, and this still makes me soooo happy.
I really like the composition. The huge build up and then dropping it on it's head, and then kinda bringing it back in the very end
It came in 2nd, public favourite but the jury votes decided for a better singer.
I think the best performing Finnish entries like this one display the creativity that is born and allowed when every Finn is encouraged to be a unique individual, because we are a small nation and need everyone's input. For example, if every nation has to have 10 world-class specialist in a certain field, we need to encourage and help the 10 people in our country even interested in that field to be world-class. Maybe bad example, but you get the idea why we encourage people to be their best self.
Here you have an artist that believed in themselves and persevered during their self-made career without a music factory behind them. We are proud that he represents Finland, because he is true, he connects with his audience genuinely, touches people's hearts, he is just like any other very kind Finnish guy - and it turns out that in his field he is world-class. And so are the other people behind this song and performance.
I recommend reacting to his and erika vikman's song Ruoska (specifically the performance of the song on the finnish UMK24 competition, whre they perfomed the song as a break song between the actual competitors)
Just wait till you see what they choose this year. I love everything about Finland🇫🇮
Have you watched any Maustetytöt videos yet? The mood in those is on point 😂
Finalnd came 1st in the televote, but only 4th in the jury vote. Sweden (Loreen) csme 2nd in televote and 1st in jury vote, so all toghether Sweden won. That is why ESC us in Malmö this year. A LOT of bitter fights about who really should have won have been fought on social media after the final.
And even though Sweden won, the Swedish fans and media were being really horrible towards Finns who were regardless super happy for Käärijä and celebrated him.
A total of 15 professional juries left Finland with no points. Finland received public votes from all countries. It was shameful!
Yes, we are reserved and timid. Until we are drunk. This is a tale of getting out of work and its stress and drinking until one feels one can do cha cha cha. And the human centipede evidently will be the end of that tale.
More (weird) finnish music: check out the band Turmion Kätilöt
My #1 band❤ Already seen them 3 times live an two times from frontrow.
😢 from finland 😊
Nightwish End of An Era konsert. Planet Hell by Tarja Turunen & Marko Hietala.
You're about a year too late 😅 As this was Finland's last year's entry, and a new one will be selected this Saturday.
Listen to the crowd vs winner of the contest :P
💚🔥
🎉💚
Funny that you mention Finns being reserved because that's what the song is about. It's about having a crazy party and opening up when you're at a party and having had a few drinks. Finns are kind of a "work hard, play hard" kind of people and this song is an example of that.
❤🎉
You should watch Käärijä's guest performance on this year's Eurovision outtakes in Finland. He performed this (with A LOT of dancers) as well as a new song. Both performances were great! He's a king!

Watch Nightwish "Greatest show on earth" with Richard Dawkins official live. Name says all
I don't the genre, but Käärijä is Rammstein fan. He have even Raammstein tattoo in left chest.
well more reserved people have some most crazy personas
Check the Finnish eurovision competitor this year. Windown95man - No rules. That one is hilarious :D
I don't find Finnish people reserved at all. Finns are very outgoing. It was maybe the case with some in older generations. Now it's all crazy, all party.
I would say we're still somewhat reserved. We talk when it's appropriate. There are multiple sayings in Finland what comes to conversing. I like 'Tehdä tikusta asiaa' - meaning you should shut the f***k up if you don't have anything intelligent to add to the conversation.
@@toms5996 It depends the circle or bubble you're in. My experience is that we are not reserved at all. Your experience may be different. One thing that is certain, is that there are no "we" as Finns. No "we do like this or that". Some do, some don't.
You may have a point there: all our children at this stage are growing up with this party feeling. You should have seen the face of my nephew when he saw me (50-year-old aunt) singing the actual words and dancing to this. You should have seen the confusion on his face 🤣
This is basically a drinking song or more accurately drinking away your insecurities and being able to dance when you have had a lot to drink. Edit: You can find a version with english subtitles if you want to know what's going on. There are some pretty good ones on YT.
How many chanels do you have? 🤔
Try some Nightwish?
Sweden won and Finland was second. Still a little bit bitter😂 Love from Finland❤
Even though I loved Loreens song and act, this was the best, and the people LOVED it, but the f____ jury votes ruin the Finns victory.
Probably because musically this is dangerously close to being 1:1 copy of EC's We Got The Moves.
@@UltraCasualPenguin Cha cha cha is very original. But Tattoo actually is a copy: ua-cam.com/video/VSDhNL4Ne40/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
The real winner of ESC23
No
This song won the European peoples votes but jyry Disliked it and wanted Sweden to win…..so Sweden won….again.
It is not like the juries disliked it really (it did surprisingly well in jury votes!), it was more about that the juries really really wanted Sweden to win 🤐
@@Sinivalkoseepra-yz1ke There were several idiot juries who gave 0 points to Finland. According to the jury criteria that should not have been possible. Overall the points were ok, but either by having the idiot juries score the song by the actual criteria (more points to Finland) or by them not overrating Sweden (less to Loreen and some to the actual deserving vocally perfect performances) the outcome of the win could have changed 😔. There was a rumour that EBU would change the scoring system so that the juries have less weight, hope so.
Pronounced: Kaari-ya
Not very special music, but a great show!
Käärijä actually won the peoples vote. Sweden just had paid the Panels because it is Abba's 50th anniversary this year.
lame
I don't think Sweden paid the juries. All the national juries are full of pop-heads, so they voted for a pop song voluntarily. I hope sooner or later it will change as more and more alternative songs participate there will be a demand for more expertise in all the different genres.
@@Eva-mp7xg It is just really hard to believe that the Abba thing is just by accident. Maybe I am just bitter. 😆
@@Mojova1 Maybe some jurors not only loved a pop song, but also had this great idea to help Sweden win for this great anniversary. We will never know. I just don't believe that it was a centrally organised action, I don't think it needed that push.
The scary white teeth to the dancers.......
I get the love for this song, but I really think Loreen won fairly as it was the better song
I don't think there would have been such controversy if it felt like she won fairly.
The jury votes were suspiciously unbalanced. There were a lot of strong entries last year, but they gave Tattoo a bigger lead than Euphoria got, while ignoring other vocally perfect performances.
Sorry but you can’t compare him with LOREEN!!!! No way!!!
That's right. You can't compare Loreen with Käärijä. But you should compare Loreen Tattoo with Mika Newton V Plenu.
Käärijä come second not winning
But he won the public vote by a landslide, Sweden didn't come anywhere near close and got one of the worst public points for a winner. No 12 points and even less 10 points than Finland. Finland got the highest amount pf public votes after Ukraine which probably got a bump in points for obvious reasons.
Disclaimer: I do think Ukraine was very good and winner of course. But the amount of points was probably a bit higher due to the situation.
You should react to the winner of Eurovision 2023! Loreen - Tattoo from Sweden 🇸🇪
He reacted to the winner right here ^ - ^
@@jijitters Than u dont know the rules to ESC.
@JR-Johnsson88 Girl it's called a joke because he obviously deserved to win and everyone universally agrees that he's the people's champion lol No one gaf about Loreen.
@@jijitters Boy, she came second in televote so its not like the people didnt like her and she won the jurys as well. Wich is the rules. No one deserved to win more than Sweden.
If we only should accept televote. We would have many different winners through out the years!
@@JR-Johnsson88 So true, ESC should be televote-only.
Wow how he butchered käärijä. I think there cant be a worse way to pronounce käärijä
Swedish Music so better Eurovision. Now Window95 man. Fucking sucks every year. 🫣😅
As a finnish Loreen was better hate me if you want.
