He won the televotes and received 71.48% of the votes. He's reached #1 on Spotify - even in the US and Canada. Duolingo is also spiking in people learning Finnish, since he became popular.
yess and I love his other music too! I think he's going to become another legend like Keiino or Sam Ryder.
He only hit #1 on viral global spotify, not #1 on amount of streams/day etc.
Loreen has had more streams on Spotify for like 3 months now
@@logi-a ok great comment on Käärijäs reaction video🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
@@nina65kauko hmmm maybe look at the comment I’m replying to 🫢
I was in the euro village in Liverpool for the final. The crowd went absolutely wild for this song. By farrrrrr the fan favourite and he should have won. 💚💚
He did win. Like, really.
@@SK-nw4ig Everyone will remember him. If he wants, he can become a Eurovision staple that performs as the bonus act in the contests to come. Loreen never did really break internationally the first time and she still won't. Where as Käärijä will be remembered by everyone as the showman that made the Eurovision 2023.
@@Aquelll barely anyone breaks it internationally from Eurovision, even if they win... Obviously the biggest exception is Abba, but they are just that - one of the exceptions.
100% agree🎉🎉
It was actually the country that received the most points from the public, so the real winner imo!
fr they gotta change the jury votes to at least weigh less who cares what their bribed asses think
Landslide winner of public votes 💚💚💚. Most points percentage ever after Ukraine last year. Which doesn't straight up compare to other years because the voting was during war time (rightfully so got very high points).
Most impressive thing is to hear the crowd going wild like that.
Another is that it’s really well made song and performance in every respect.
"Song" is not really true. Stolen also.
I am Swedish. Going to Finland twice this summer bc of Käärijä!
I wasn’t really excited about this year’s Eurovision but, Käärijas performance and how the hole vibe was saved it! He was loved by everyone, the crowd, the other contestants and all who have watched at home.
Thank you for your reaction it is one of the nicest I’ve seen!🫶🏻 most ppl can’t understand the beauty of this performance but you do, thank you!!
Sorry Jere is a beautiful man
@@leslielees5438 inside and outside
I was already really excited when I saw that Lord Of The Lost were participating for Germany. I love those guys
I never thought I'd see the day Steven reacting to Käärijä..! Worlds colliding 😲
I’m the one who requested it so you’re welcome 😂🥰
I felt like he needed to see this performance
@@Elleenn_95 oooo TY so much!!! I feel more ppl in the US should see/hear this!
@@Elleenn_95 O My how wonderful of you to do that. Thank you! 💓💓💚💓💓🥳
Same!!
CHA CHA CHA 🎉
okay this was not on my 2023 bucket list. as a finn im very happy to see Käärijä here. you're one of my favs and he's definitely something we Finns can be proud so yeah. cheers!!
I saw this on my feed and did a double take, lol. Totally unexpected! 😂
@@inkeriananasas the person who requested this video, you’re welcome. My next few requests will be Eurovision 2023 songs. He needed to see Kaarija shine tbh
My winner! I was there when he performed for the semi final and we were all singing it in the arena then but it was even louder at the final it seemed haha - massive crowd favourite
As a long time viewer of yours and also a Finn, seeing this popping up was so exciting! 🤩🇫🇮💚 Great reaction as always!
The roof literally came off the arena. I've never heard a reaction like that in my life. Lost my voice that week but it was so worth it 😊
3:19 I believe that green thing is called a bolero. However Käärijä probably rocks a bolero better than anybody I’ve seen before.
I’m from Sweden but I was rooting for Finland, much like the rest of Europe. Sadly he got robbed by the jury because his song wasn’t a generic pop-ballad about love sung in English 🙄
💖
Absolutely agreed !
3 weeks later and vocal coaches are finally listening to Käärijä, about time!
You're right about Rammstein, he is a major fan and has been open about it. He has a huge tattoo on his chess dedicated to Rammstein
A a Finnish person I did not expect to see you react to this song, haha. I love it though, thanks for checking the song out! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Never seen any reactors reacting to this without a huge stupid grin on their faces. It's just so fun. Try to be sad while listening to this, I dare you. You can't. You simply can't. CHA CHA CHA!
Finland and Norway was the two best and my favorites 🇧🇻♥️🇫🇮
It makes you happy. Just utterly ridiculously happy.
And I love Käärijä so much for bringing that back to the ESC❤️
😂 This was my favourite. Eurovision is the best! Every year we have a party in Glasgow 😅
käärijä really made me hyped about this year's eurovision (and then my hopes were crushed) i listen to his songs everyday now though, he is a great performer
He didn't lose, he came second out of 37!
Thank you so much for the analyzis. We all love this song. Käärijä himself is such a cool guy. 🩷💚 Greetings from Finland😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful reaction video 💚💚💚!!! I highly recommend checking out his other songs too like Rock Rock, Mic Mac, Välikuolema and Menestynyt yksilö 👌🏻👌🏻💚👌🏻😊.
Verse 1]
This exhausting week and the many long days are behind
There's only bar and piña colada on my mind
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
[Chorus]
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a
[Verse 2]
A couple piña coladas I have devoured
Yet the expression I have on my face is sour
Yeah, yeah, ye, ye, yeah
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
The floor is calling me when I'm no longer so frozen
Like a cha cha cha I am approachin'
[Chorus]
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like, woah
[Post-Chorus]
I head towards dance floor
Like a cha, cha, cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha, cha, cha
When champagne all over myself I pour
[Bridge]
Cha, cha, cha, one eye keeps turning crossed too far
And talking is so hard when this different side of me does its part
Cha, cha, cha, I don't usually go and drop my guard, not me
But now I am that guy, now I am that guy
[Post-Chorus]
I head towards dance floor
Like a cha, cha, cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha, cha, cha
When champagne all over myself I pour
Like a cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, aha
Like a cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
It's so awesome how most of this translation rhymes.
Bro when I found out what he was singing about, all I could hear is him singing Pina colada in that deep ass tone lol
Please check out Joker Out!! They represented Slovenia this year with the song Carpe Diem. I love their style of rock, and they're just really charismatic performers.
I requested this video so my next few patron requests will be Eurovision 2023 songs. I’ve got Australia (my country), Slovenia (my favs from the year) and Norway next on my list 😊
@@Elleenn_95 Thank you for requesting them!!💗
Loved joker out
he was the public favorite, we all loved him that much he got the secong most public voting points of all time. But only became second because the jury gave sweden way to many points to be able to be catched up
On UA-cam is a video featuring two Eurovision stars Käärijä from Finland and Bojan from Slovenia. The gig was last Friday in Helsinki, Finland. I wish I had been there! It was crazy and it was a party.💓💚
Definitely worth checking out his Finland qualifying performance. I kind of preferred to it the main night but both are still amazing.
I prefer it too, it had many elements I would've liked to see in the big show. But he did well anyhoo 💚
Yeah, the old staging was the best both thematically with the boxing ring, and how shoddy it was. It was even more quintessentially Finnish, but I get that they needed more elevation for the big stage.
@@vanyadolly I liked many things better; close-up of Käärijä in the beginning, his crouching pose and camera angles, that the dancers were very precise and professional at the first part; great contrast and surprising with crazy music and Käärijä.
His funny dance didn't feel rushed , in Eurovision he basically ran during it.
I liked the human centipede moves better and that they raised him up in the air.
Also the simpler color theme of green, gold and pink.
Rant over :D
Of course it had to be different for the big stage after all. Maybe the same thing just would'nt have worked 🤷🏽♀️
Anyway I'm just happy to have found him💚😊
This song is epic! The staging was awesome.
Americans who enjoy Eurovision and Westlife...there are dozens of us :')
When he says "it's crazy, it's party," he's making fun of himself too! He said that when asked about his song a few months ago, and since then, he learned that it's not correct grammar, but it's become a funny tagline for him and his fans.
When Käärijä was selected, he told his english is bad and he must learn it fast. So first his interview’s were almost comedy but he got good with it quickly. But his regular answers was ”it’s crazy, it’s party” when everybody was asking wtf is this?! 😂 I think big part of his success has been because his personality, he is just so positive, down to earth, normal guy.
The green is actually now called Käärijä Green :)
I just love this song and performance 💃🏼🕺🏻
Thank you liking our national star 🙏💚🖤💗
For me he is the winner 💚
For me the actual winner of 2023
this is bizarre and that's why its amazing, we need artists that go out of the box like we had in the 90's
Yay! Eurovision reactions are back!! Keep on it ❤
The song has grown on me a lot. But his performance takes it to a whole new level.
My personal favourite was Italy. It's a beautiful song and Marco left his whole heart on that stage.
Croatia, from the stand of relevance, message, performance and fully understanding the asigment. Though understanding the lyrics brings the whole thing to a whole different level. I was a little unsure at first, as it looks like a big joke at first glance. But it's not. It's just wonderful.
Portugal was just pure fire 🔥
Moldova always brings it.
Norway is such a battle song.
Slovenia is the definition of chill.
And Germany deserved so much more than they got. The song, while not being my cup of tea, is amazing as is the whole performance.
Perfect summory. Wish I could hit the like button 100 times
You should react to more of Käärijä's songs! They're all awesome :D He recently had a concert that was posted online
Karizha 😂😂😂
I love you, Steven!
I really thought we'd win this year sigh. but ofc the woman who already won eurovision once and has the jury by their balls wins instead
Totally arranged win with the Jury votes. It was decided Sweden should win no matter what because it will be a huge thing for Sweden to host next yr as it will also be 50 yrs since Abba won. I'm smelling some sort of corruption.
So crazy, so party!
I have a suspicion that the judges voted for Sweden so that they could be the hosts of Eurovision for the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s historic win. Maybe I’m being cynical, but there were definitely several artists my family preferred over Tattoo…including Cha Cha Cha. 😊
This^^^^^^^.That Lady won because of Abba.Her performance was boring.
That’s such a lame theory at this point like it’s SO unprovable - she won because it was a jury song.
This was my personal favorite this year ❤
This was my winner. Even when I wasn't a suuuper fan of the song, the whole performance was amaaaazing
Could you please react to Joker Out - Carpe Diem? If you can't find the Grand Final performance, there's a good one called Showcase Performance, I might even prefer that one
The pronounciation of "a with two dots" or "ae" if not available in the keyboard is the same as "a" in words like "sad", "mad" "back" "lack" sounds. It exists in English without a designated letter. In Finnish a long vowel is marked by two letters 🇸🇪🇫🇮
Didn't expect you of all people to react to eurovision but I'm very glad that you did! There were a lot of strong contestants this year and käärijä absolutely ate.
I think you'd enjoy serbia's entry (samo mi se spava by luke black). Some of my other favorites this year are slovenia (of course), austria, germany, belgium and france and norway
💚❤️🤟🏻
Check out Norway ❤
Yeees! Norway is on my playlist also along with Finland, Germany, Slovenia
It was soo awesome❤. And hello, I've missed you so much (I was the one that left not you) Hugs from Sweden.
💚💚💚
There is a Ramnstein tattoo in his chest hahaha. Good spot
We Finnish are crazy , now after sauna listen cha cha cha and dancing naked, yes i do..
Your reaction is the best of all reactions on this song ❤❤❤❤
Song what live from Finland,first Time The Best in hole wold
You heard the audience, right? All of Europe still sing it! : )
Please react to rim tim tagi dim by baby lasagna from this year's eurovision. he also finished 2nd and stole our hearts
Listen to the rest of his songs. Dope!
How this Song lives after all
THANKS FOR REACTING TO KAARIJA, HE HAS OTHER GOOD SONGS YOU CAN CHECK OUT.
1:10 it's actually ram (like the animal)-schtine (like the number nine)
I really LOVED the song and performance - so innovative - I mean, that huge shadow in the background and the crazy version of a human centipede-thingie, there are so many layers of fun and craziness and I would have loved for them to win.❤️❤️❤️
Then I heard and read about all the hatred towards Loreen (who won), both personally and proffesionally. Wow, that was a huge turnoff in all ways possible and saddened me. 😔😢💔
Yeah that was super uncalled for. Loreen didn't do anything else than perform REALLY F*KING WELL. That the judges screwed Käärijä wasn't her fault by any stretch of the imagination. And very much not in the spirit of the person käärijä is. He is about inclusivity and anti-bullying, and anyone who hated on Loreen in his name should really take a long hard look first at what he is about, and then in the mirror.
This isn't my kind of music. But I thought it was a fun performance. And I said to another reactor, before the competition, that I thought the Eurovision fans would love it. And they did. :)
So, I like never vote in this competition, or it can be counted on one hand how many times I've voted, even though I've grown up with this thing. I'm not a big fan but I watch it if I don't have anything else to do. I do like to see the many different contributions as a fun thing to watch. I actually did vote last year. And as it happens it was Finland as well because my favorite group from Finland, The Rasmus was competing. They stole my heart 20 years ago and I was so surprised to see them in this competition. It's not their usual scene. They sadly didn't place very high but I loved their energetic performance. They've done some different styles in their music but with their contribution they brought back some of their early 2000's sound.
please give the slovenian entry (Joker Out - Carpe Diem) a try ❤ I think you would love them!!!!!
I am from finland and still live here
Great song to listen to and dance in shower 😂
he actually has a Rammstein inspired tattoo on his chest haha
“It’s a party, but we might hit a funeral later” 😂
Please react UMK performance of this as well
Do you hear how studio audience sings/singing in background…
😎👍
❤️🔥💚💚🕺🔥🔥💃🕺🔥🔥💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️
käärijä just released his new single with tommy cash!!! its called "its crazy its party"! you cant miss out on this one the music video is absolutely INSANE and the song is SUCH a bangerrr
Please react to everyone all 26 countries and the rest that attended the semi finals starting with Queen Of Kings by Alessandra Mele
Какое погружение в материал... Выпал с «Рамстейна»!
Eurovision seems to block the final. You can find the semi-finals on their page. I would recommend Australia's "Promise", Belgium "Because of You". There were so many good songs this year!
You skipped the tongue :(
Its Käärijä green its in New word in Finland and virallinen
Im swedish so of course i am happy for loreen but this was my favorite
I think you might have missed that this is a piss-take song - comedy and artistic gold, taking down the seriousness, posturing and politics of Eurovision. Those terrifying dancers in pink with the maniacal white smiles (that he has enslaved) are ballroom dancers, as is the name of the song/chorus Cha Cha Cha.
Song is about like how he is kinda antisocial at work week, then he hits to the bar, drinks few pina coladas, still feel bit that, but after few more he gets to the dance floor and gets unwinded and starts drinking champange and is not that uptight antisocial man....
You should lisend to switzerland or norway both are very good
you'll 100% have to react to Norway queen of the kings
New one need little Time, becauce it sound Cha Cha cha
Check out the mashups of that song. Especially with Ukrainian artist Verka Serduchka 😊
Yep. I prefer mashup with Go_A 💚💚
You really should have a look at some of the oddball highlights of Eurovision like Verka Serduchka or the russian grandmothers etc.
Btw I'm a Swede and have unfortunately had to abandon patriotism to admit that Käärijä should have been the winner.
If you liked that, now you have to react to the *Winner*
Sweden - Loreen with the song Tattoo
I suggest the national final called Melodifestivalen and not the ESC final because they messed up with her staging and changed some things…😒
You mean the rigged fake winner? I hope he doesn't waste his time on that. Literally dozens of other songs were better than Tattoo.
@@nian60 you have this username and this flag…😂😂😂
Ok mate, take your medication, take a sleep and everything should be fine🤡
Since you try to decode his appearance, let me give you a hint:
-view some gorilla images
-watch some videos of how they walk
-watch Cha Cha Cha again
Käärijä is the big winner of the audience, witch is millions in comparison to the jury, who are a bunch of experts.
Käärijä's performance (and his character) is what made it so popular.
If one just listens to the song without watching his performance, one can easily think that it's music for carnival bumper cars.
The other things, although not being phrased very nicely, are probably just your opinion so i won’t comment on it- but unless I understood it the wrong way, saying that the jury’s judgement matters more, when they’re only referred to as being experts in general while never disclosing in what field of expertise, what genre, what profession etc. is very…well interesting. The jury set-up has so many issues from there only being 5 jurors, sometimes only 4 even, no matter how big the country making 5 people with little to know diverse musical knowledge have the same exact power as MILLIONS(like you already said but it’s definitely not a good thing), to those jurors mostly only having pop-expertise(some of them are literal radio hosts and such which is far from being a musical expert). Their only job is to be subjective and to only judge from 4 criteria without bias and to appreciate and help professional performances that are likely to not be a public-fav, but that simply isn’t the case. When a very masterfully done metal song with flawless vocals, good staging and a lot of originality(like germany this year) gets a total of 3 points a.k.a last place even falling below a not very original pop song with some of the worst vocals of the night, or albania with a gorgeous balkan style ethnic song and good staging and wholesome performance basically scoring barely anything as well, or slovenia with a very unique indie-rock song and great vocals sung in their native language getting 19th/26 , it’s just so extremely obvious that the thing that’s supposed to keep the contest unique is the reason that makes it harder for any diverse genre to really succeed
NOOOO YOU MISSED THE BEST PART WITH THE TOUNG BECAUSE YOU LOOKED AWAY! Ugh! 😩😔😒 Also if you didn’t know the reason he ends with the phrase “It’s crazy It’s party” is because he released a song with the same name the same year as he released Cha Cha Cha but after, well I think at least, as far as I’ve understood it but of course I could be wrong 🤷🏻♀️ but yeah, but if I’m wrong it’s just a nice phrase and meaning too so 😊👏🏻🖤💚
Why is the video of the performance so transparant? :o
It kept distracting me and I just ended up watching your floor 😅
Please do jxdn elevated heart ❤
You are at the box of your mind at begining. Hard week at work? Problems with ex? Divorced?
Whatever problem is, he breaks out of the box. Of course, outside world looks fasinating, but if u it look closely, people around ( dancers) are scary
look France, Estonia, Norway, Ukraine .. good songs
He is influenced by Rammstein, that’s a Rammstein logo tattooed over his heart. The heavy sound along with a europop kind of beat is very rammstein! As well as the pyro at the end. Also it’s worth going to look for the lyrics in English. It’s a real journey about shedding toxic masculinity and finally feeling relaxed enough to go out and dance. Fantastic song and performance!
You should turn on and read eng. subt. and then listen
do loreen!!
who's talking? So funny with his little hat...
Eurovision is a legendary institution. So trash, camp etc in a goodway!. Guess it won´ t work in states. So much fun
Blocked in the US? It’s like people actively don’t want Americans to know about Eurovision hahah
Cool reaction,watch Eurovision winer this year Loreen tatto ,you like it 😊😊
Why should he watch the fake rigged winner?
