@@insiddious Finnish is basically an alien language to Norwegians - in some ways it's literally closer to Turkish than English or Norwegian. Though the pronounciation from written text isn't that far off (no plosives, almost all letters make the same sounds including ä and ö). Leo pronounces it really well, I think the biggest tell is really just the consonant and vowel lengths: in Finnish they are always stressed/long when you have two of the same consonants in a row, like "pelkÄÄkÄÄn tätä mAAilmAA" or "kuNNes en enÄÄ pysy tuoliSSa". Otherwise you pronounce them short unless you want to imitate some accent or whatever (and then you have to know what you're doing). Leo mixes this in a couple spots but it stays super clear & comprehensible all the way. Oh and he also did the Swedish/Norwegian "o" in a couple spots (in Finnish you pronounce it like in "morning", in Swedish/Norwegian you pronounce it like in "who")
@@Thamanizer hmm that's interesting! Is it similar to Estonian? Because I'm sure I've seen those accented Äs and double vowels in Estonian only out of the Nordic countries.
@@insiddious Yes, Finnish and Estonian are on the same language branch! I'm a linguist and that branch is very interesting 🥰 I don't speak either though, they're very difficult to learn (I'm Latvian).
How is "better than most foreigners" a massive achievement? Let's say you define "most" as 51%. Statistically 49% will then be better than most foreigners.
@@Brucestm-dt3ip The Finnish language and the Norwegian language are very different. Their origins are different, look it up if you want to know more. The Swedish, the Norwegian and the Danish are more similar to each other than finnish is to any of them. :)
Very impressive! It managed to both make the instrumentals reminiscent of the original yet work well as its own song. Unlike some other metal covers I've heard, this one wasn't simply Cha cha cha with heavier instruments, but an effective re-imagining. Well done!!
One more! And, as always, a masterpiece!!! Best way to start my weekends!!....... (update) I was not familiar with the original version and I listened it a few mins ago. I seriously recommend you guys to check it out. Specially the live concerts. That's what I call performance and energy.
Man, you never disappoint! I love the Ramstein-esque feel to this one. I don't know how you do it but I'm so glad you do! Thank you! P.S. Yes, I have hit the repeat button a few times now. 🤘
Incredible man. I've been a diehard fan since you first started this channel. I've driven coast to coast in the US hundreds of times jamming EVERY SONG you've ever done. You are the Elon of metal
I couldn't believe this day would come. That I would see a foreigner (to me) singing a finnish song. Sounds funny and great at the same time . I feel so proud atm.
Nice surprise that you sing it in finnish. There is alot of hard words to pronounce for foreigner and you do it very well. Awesome cover and nice that you did this Eurovision 2023 "winner" song 👌.
Respect! Pronounciation could've not been easy I guess, but you did it well, I could easily understand everything even if I never heard the song before
Miten oot voinu välttyä kuulemasta alkuperäistä? Olisinpa yhtä onnekas, on nimittäin jäänyt ärsyttävästi päähän soimaan. Paitsi enää ei niin ärsyttävästi, kun voin kuulla tän coverin päässä 😄
A metal cover of Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten would also be awesome. and A metal cover of The Jeff Healey Band - Angel Eyes would be awesome. This cover is flipping sick btw!
Lovin' your music! Its actually exposing me to a lot of music I have never heard before. I hear your interpretation then go listen to the original and have to say, you always do the original song (and artist) justice. Now I am off to listen to more music from Finnland! Please keep it coming!
English speakers feel the same way when he sings English and I've seen German and Spanish speaking people say, "We understand his lyrics better than the original singers". Lol He's a linguistic genius!
I've been listening to cover songs you've been doing for a few years. I haven't liked metal music before, but because of the videos you've made, I may have learned the point/secrets of metal music. There is a lot of good music in the world and the way you interpret other people's songs is in a class of its own. Many songs are better than the originals. Continue along the line you chose, and let us hear new songs. Thank you for existing.
12 point to you Leo! Greetings from Finland 💚

Greetings from Finland! 🤘🎶 🖤 🎸🇫🇮
Sairaan kova veto!!
Juurikin näin ja suomeksi vielä 👍👍
I HAVE TO ADMIT, I THOUGHT THE SINGER WAS FINNISH, ONLY AT THE END I NOTICED THE DIFFERENT ACCENT 😮😮
The prounaunciation was fire, torille
@@laodicea3513 Heh. Leo is Norwegian
This was unexpected. Not the cover itself, but that you sang in finnish. Actually you pronounced the words pretty well.
He is Norwegian so not that far away
@@insiddious well Norwegian isn't very similar to Finnish :)

En minäkään😜
En määkään
Emmääkää 😂
kuin myös en minäkään... :D
🤣
Getting heavy with the Eurovision Song Contest this week, hope you like! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Please make Twisted Sister - I wanna rock
Bon Jovi “Wanted Dead or Alive” OR
Foreigner “Jukebox Hero”
Please Leo, we need more Roxette!❤🤘🏼
Yummy Yummy Yummy by Ohio Express
@@gunnarkubigk1427 Yes :-) I would love to hear Joyride :-)
Jumalauta! Dude pronounces finnish better than most foreigners! That in itself is a massive achievement. Dope dude. Love from Finland!

@@commenter4898 Dude: He did AWESOME WORK with finnish. Just incredible!
This was one of my favorite songs from this years contest!
Instant like for singing in the original language. I'm envious how talented Leo is
Finland approves! Awesome job! :D
Awesome cover! Really appreciate the fact you did this in Finnish. Your pronunciation is on point 🇫🇮💚
You sang finnish so well! Awesome that you did cover of cha cha cha! Greatings from Finnland ❤
Älyttömän hyvin äännetty!
👍
well he is from norway
@@Brucestm-dt3ip The Finnish language and the Norwegian language are very different. Their origins are different, look it up if you want to know more. The Swedish, the Norwegian and the Danish are more similar to each other than finnish is to any of them. :)
@@newin7483 Though it's probably easier for a Norwegian to get the difference between a and ä etc. compared to someone who only speaks English.
Leo covering Käärijä? Am I still dreaming?
This is so unexpectedly awesome!!!
Loving this.... Tones of rammstein... Work just got so much better.... Cheers young Leo 💜👍🏴
Käärijä himself is a fan of Rammstein, he got their logo tattooed on his chest
Check out the mix from Lord of the lost and kaarija cha cha cha
It's pretty much just a metal version already lol
Now this sounds more Rammstein than the original. The original sounds more like Electric Callboy than Rammstein
I got the sudden urge to listen to Tattoo, that riff is awesome
@@eizzah8323 And Cha Cha Cha main riff is from Rammstein "Tattoo" song
Really love it how many foreing artist dares to sing this in Finnish and this actually has quite a good pronounciation.
Best Cha Cha Cha cover!
IDK, Lord of the Lost did an awesome one too
Respect! Finnish is not the easiest language 🎉 i'm very impressed ❤
I can hear he really practised the song, and words are understantable. Good job Leo
I could've never guessed that I could hear you perform a song in Finnish :D Good job bro! TORILLE!
Awesome as always
Hell yah 💚🫶
Best version ever! And u singing very clean to finnish language❤ 12points from finland!
Well done for singing in Finnish Leo! Hopefully you'll be back in Brighton soon so I can sing a long to this one! 🤘😎🤘
As a Finnish person, this was really interesting to listen to. Well done!
That bass solo was incredible!
Awesome! Now please do Learning to Fly by Tom Petty...
Very impressive! It managed to both make the instrumentals reminiscent of the original yet work well as its own song. Unlike some other metal covers I've heard, this one wasn't simply Cha cha cha with heavier instruments, but an effective re-imagining. Well done!!
Voi helvata, siistiä.
😆
Leo, that was fricking awesome!🔥
Looking forward to more songs from Eurovision!
One more! And, as always, a masterpiece!!! Best way to start my weekends!!....... (update) I was not familiar with the original version and I listened it a few mins ago. I seriously recommend you guys to check it out. Specially the live concerts. That's what I call performance and energy.
This was GREAT!!! Nice job for singin in finnish!

Greetings from Finland! This is a awesome song and you are singing in finnish really good.
The clean part (01:49) sounded like Ville Valo from H.I.M. Super good cover!
When i was watching it Live i already thought about, that would be a great metal song for Leo and now you really did it 👌🤘😊
This is great! Finnish language is notoriously hard to learn, props for the effort 🙏💚 Greetings from 🇫🇮
Лучшее исполнение что я слышал. Слушаю много раз в день🔥👍
🤘 you never disappoint man. Hats Off to you and your team.
This is awesome. I’m getting early Rammstein vibes. Absolutely rocks 🤘🏻🎸
Rammstein will now cover Leo covering Eurovision.
late reply but i told my paps the EXACT same thing!!!
Man, you never disappoint! I love the Ramstein-esque feel to this one. I don't know how you do it but I'm so glad you do! Thank you!
P.S. Yes, I have hit the repeat button a few times now. 🤘
The BEST cha cha cha version! Hands down!
Never heard this song before but this is amazing. Definitely adding to my headbang playlist
I am proud you did it
I love your interpretation of Cha Cha cha 💚 it sent shivers down my spine
Everything you do is good but this is pure gold. Great job.
Can we just talk about the impressive camera work? 😮
Incredible man. I've been a diehard fan since you first started this channel. I've driven coast to coast in the US hundreds of times jamming EVERY SONG you've ever done. You are the Elon of metal
Greetings from a fellow Finn,
Mad respect for singing in finnish!
Great work once again Leo🔥
Epic. Well done!
I was secretly hoping for this. Nice done and excellent pronansiation
pronunciation :)
This was the true Eurovision winner . And you gave it justice ...
That is the best cover of Cha Cha Cha I herd and it has a bit of Rammstein x Heavysaurus vibes to it.
I couldn't believe this day would come. That I would see a foreigner (to me) singing a finnish song. Sounds funny and great at the same time . I feel so proud atm.
Proud to be finnish ❤🇫🇮Go Leo go, we love you❤
And you really seem to like speaking finnish. You are pluckin hell the best ever.
Excellent cover! Very good pronouncing 👌🏻 Another Finnish person approves 🇫🇮🤘🏻
Maximum appreciation!!
Nice surprise that you sing it in finnish. There is alot of hard words to pronounce for foreigner and you do it very well. Awesome cover and nice that you did this Eurovision 2023 "winner" song 👌.
Again. Leo, you made it awesome.
Somehow I knew this was coming. Another 12 points to Leo from Finland!
Amazing. Thanks Leo, this is a huge tribute to us and especially to Käärijä!
Respect! Pronounciation could've not been easy I guess, but you did it well, I could easily understand everything even if I never heard the song before
you mastered the difficult Finnish language very well!! 👍👍👍👍I appreciate!! 👍👍Hi from Finland 🙂
This rocks super hard. Absolutely fantastic - and you sing in Finnish, and very well!
my husband who doesn't even like metal loved this. good job
Sounds awesome 🖤💚🤘
WOW
I haven't heard the original, i got so fed up with the hype around it here in Finland. But when Leo does a cover, i just have to listen to it!
Miten oot voinu välttyä kuulemasta alkuperäistä? Olisinpa yhtä onnekas, on nimittäin jäänyt ärsyttävästi päähän soimaan. Paitsi enää ei niin ärsyttävästi, kun voin kuulla tän coverin päässä 😄
@@jijji2602 En tiedä, oon varmaan hyvin onnekas.
This right there is KILLER!!! Freaking awesome!
Sounds amazing 😳
Love this version of it, thanks Leo
Now this was more soul into it than the original and it kept the spirit, good done 🎉
Thank god you made this. I didnt know about the original, and god.... What an instrumental and rhythm guitar
A metal cover of Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten would also be awesome.
and
A metal cover of The Jeff Healey Band - Angel Eyes would be awesome.
This cover is flipping sick btw!
Lovin' your music! Its actually exposing me to a lot of music I have never heard before. I hear your interpretation then go listen to the original and have to say, you always do the original song (and artist) justice. Now I am off to listen to more music from Finnland! Please keep it coming!
I don't understand the words but I love the sound! Very awesome!
I'm so glad I exist as the same time as this man and his covers.
🤘🏻nice, perfect start for Weekend
It's crazy! And it's crazy!
Kiitos!
The way you pronounce the words somehow makes it even better, respect from Finland 😂🇫🇮
English speakers feel the same way when he sings English and I've seen German and Spanish speaking people say, "We understand his lyrics better than the original singers". Lol
He's a linguistic genius!
That was awesome, amazing cover of Käärijä's Cha Cha Cha. Outstanding💯
One more good thing from Käärijä, without him never found Leo , just great talent :) , will run out batteries from my jbl headphones in future :)
Mora cc nails it againg. ;):) Like a frog leap from original song to something very different. ;):)
I didn't know I needed this but here it is. Awesome job. 💚 #chachacha
This is awesome
Really enjoyed the brave decision to sing in our difficult language - easy 12 points. Awesome arrangement too 🤘
OMG!!!!! AMAZINGGG!!!! Best cha cha cha cover! greetings from finland!
Awesome, Leo! This Käärijä Spotify hit song works really nice as metal version, I like also Lord of the Lost’s metal cover version as well
