This is a complete package. Finland is definitely not going for safe this year. I love this song so much. It is weird it is catchy and the act is brilliant. 12 points to Finland. CHA CHA CHA TO THE TROPHY.
All of them went from being scared and confused to screaming and singing along in the end He's too strong If the juries don't ruin him in the final, he has top-3 potential This is just amazing
The lyrics are about how finnish people are usually all shy and introvert and grumpy when being sober. Aftet hard work week he wants to relax with some piña coladas at a club. At the end when the music gets calmer and slower, he has broken his icy shell and he’s heading to the dance floor where he can be more open and himself. Kinda like the whole song those two sides are fighting, and at the end the more fun and open side takes over. If that made any sense :D
unpopular opinion here: this is why he's currently my number 1. He wrote it himself, it's divisive, risky, it has the best "call to action" of any entry thus far and it's not a formula. while others have the same songwriters as their old songs, textbook Eurovision staging, similar styles of what we've seen before, etc. Spain and Finland are the only ones that were brave enough to send something unique this year (at the moment)
At the beginning I was like: "Oh... just another typical Finland-ish metal entry", and then the dancers came in in pink, and the first CHA CHA CHA began, and they just got me and never let me go again... I'm so obsessed with this. I think that the winner (so far) will be between Ukraine (duh), Finland, Norway, or Sweden (if Loreen wins). Thank you Scandinavia for bringing me back the hope on the contest ❤. Love from a Chilean Eurofan 🇨🇱📍🇨🇭
It is absolutely impossible to talk while watching that performance, it is totally bonkers and captivating and the catchiest thing ever. I do think that the whole thing is like some kind of fever dream to watch but so very entertaining. Definitely a song that I didn't want to like but do! Surely top 5??
This screams winner from a distance as far as from Brussels to Liverpool! I want this to win and show how we never should take us seriously yet do the job exquisitely!
I love the energy and the self-irony. And I want the outfit 😁In the end he sings "I'm not afraid the world anymore" and the tone changes 180 degrees. So free yourself, just dance cha cha cha 😋
I LOVE the DANCERS and think they represent a l c o h o l. The first verse begins with "I'm holding drinks with two hands" and he's controling the dancers with ropes (both hands). The second verse begins with "after a few pina coladas" and now the dancers are free and begin fighting with eachother. It's very well staged, great song, I hope it wins! ❤🎉🇫🇮
i just imagine if liverpool everybody sing same time those cha cha chaa part, how cool is that and how much that give goosepumps in audience there and people who watching tv. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful week.
I think Katie's right - it's very much love it or hate it. And I love it. It's been stuck in my head on and off since the UMK songs were all released, and I'm pleased it won. Finland, though, deserve credit for having a national final without a single dud song. Seven great options, one good final. This is one I have as a potential winner, or top 5 at least. Certainly with televises. And I'm imagining the noise of the arena in Liverpool as everyone chants along....
I loved it when the cha cha dancers came in. It's like him saying "you expect cha cha dancers to come in, here you have them! But I'm gonna subvert your expectations with them." It's manic genius!
The man is fighting his own demons at first so the cha cha dancers look a bit evil. When he gets liberated and the music changes the dancers also look happier 😄
Imagino todo el público de Liverpool enloquecido, celebrando esta locura y dejando una de las actuaciones más iconicas de la historia del Festival. Definitivamente se cuela en el TOP 3, junto a España y???.....Enhorabuena por el canal.
This song has multiple meanings, but the most prominent one is that ”do not be afraid to be the true yourself”. The next close meaning is that ”men are often ’forced’ to be manly and macho, and they find it hard to be themselves under the macho shells and the booze plays an excuse in this song to be themselves.. and they could blame the alcohol for the night’s behaviour in the morning”. Also applies to sexuality. And also fits this stressful time we are living in. Cha cha cha represents the true self of him under the macho shell and the dancers show the inner fighting on the stage as they are the true him who fights the macho singer him.
This is everything ESC fans want, I suppose. Serious messages in songs are appreciated but there is always so much shit going on in the world that this will be a few-minutes-relief from that. And we already know that that shade of green works really well on the ESC stage ;-)
Love it! I rarely comment on any songs, especially Eurovision songs. BUT This is original, strong, different, and very catchy! This is the type of song that stands out from the crowd. No pleasing dull melodies that we´ve heard a million times. I think this will win the whole thing, I listened to all the songs a minute ago, and this one is undoubtedly in the top 3, if not the WINNER!
*WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FINLAND'S ENTRY FOR EUROVISION 2023?* 🇫🇮
I still don't know what to think about it 😄
ESC competition points record.
The Bullseye🏆 Pure ENERGY 🐝

Juries will end up like them all 😂

Thanks for this explanation. It definitely makes a bit more sense now.

Love it immensely. And I’m 60!!!!!!!
In the words of Käärijä himself
“It’s crazy, it’s party” 🇫🇮💚
"Finland understood the assignment"
Epic
I am obsessed with this song! It has already become one of my all time favorite eurovision entries
Hey, I'm from Finland. This song makes people smile and invite to dance.
The Käärijä hopes that this song will bring joy to people. ❤😄

Just a small (big) correction, Finland is not part of Scandinavia :) If you want to include Finland (and Iceland), the correct term is Nordic.
My winner for this year!
Greatest song at this eurovision by a mile, top 3 for sure in may!
A song that fits the times. We all need some Cha Cha Cha at the moment!
12 points from estonia!
This is FUN !! Go FINLAND
I love this because he remind me off Markolioo , a finish/swedish singer I grow up with .. LOVE THIS ..
"Finland understood the assignment."

Finland came to win!

winner 🏆 the originality🔝, the look🔝, the energy🔝
This is my for sure winner! I haven’t been SHOOK by a Eurovision entry this way for a while, maybe ever! Helsinki 2024, baby!
"Tell us which side you're on"
💃I'm on the WINNER side baby!💃
Finlands best Eurovision entry ever. Yes, better than Lordi.
Love it, the humour
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS 🥰😍🥰

The dancers may also represent his inner feelings, first restricted by inhibitions, then freed by alcohol.
i just imagine if liverpool everybody sing same time those cha cha chaa part, how cool is that and how much that give goosepumps in audience there and people who watching tv. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful week.
I really like this!! Heja heja Finland 🎉
let's go Cha Cha Cha Finland
Good job Finland, top 3. From Italy
❤️❤️❤️ it. It's brilliant. The idea of transformation as a theme, doesn't have to be a ballad guys! It's gone straight to my bangers list.
Give them the trophy already, let's go to Helsinki, once more!!!
Super fun and crazy !
Words cannot describe how much I loved EVERYTHING about this entry! We'll be cha cha cha-ing into Helsinki 2024, for sure! ❤️
Finland is my absolute winner this year!!!
I love the song, but I LOVE watching unsuspecting youtubers reacting to it! 😂😂😂😂💚💚💚
greetings from Finland! 😘
"I don't know if I love it, or hate it". Yes, you do know... You know! If you have to even ask it, you absolutely LOVE IT 😂🤟
All of these are EXACTLY the kind of reactions an ESC entry must inspire.
A total bop *and* "What the hell an I watching"
Absolutely amazing!!!! 12 points from Denmark👌🏻
Something different. This is what we need. Let's have a crazy euro party together! Everybody from everywhere is invited!!!
I think Katie's right - it's very much love it or hate it. And I love it. It's been stuck in my head on and off since the UMK songs were all released, and I'm pleased it won. Finland, though, deserve credit for having a national final without a single dud song. Seven great options, one good final.
This is one I have as a potential winner, or top 5 at least. Certainly with televises. And I'm imagining the noise of the arena in Liverpool as everyone chants along....
Or maybe hate to love it or even love to hate it?! I've decided that it's brilliantly bonkers!
this is EVERYTHING i am looking for in Eurovision
CHA CHA CHA will SLAYYYYYY. Lots of Love from Greece!
This song is a journey for the listener 😂❤
It's scary, weird, crazy but fun. And at the end of it, you'll love it!
Love it! So proud to be a Finn! 🥳😍😍😍😍😍😍

It's a winner for me!
2 weeks on I'm still obsessed 🎉❤
12 points go to Finland! 😍
i like the first half of the song, it's unique and intense and the contrasting "CHA CHA CHACHA" just works
I loved it when the cha cha dancers came in. It's like him saying "you expect cha cha dancers to come in, here you have them! But I'm gonna subvert your expectations with them." It's manic genius!
The man is fighting his own demons at first so the cha cha dancers look a bit evil. When he gets liberated and the music changes the dancers also look happier 😄
This song is amazing:))))
12 points from me ... CHA CHA CHA .... Kiitos Suomi 💙🇫🇮💙
The fact the staging had Latin dancers doing actual cha cha figures on time broke my dancer brain but I loved it!
Already legendary
Totally BEST!!!!! Go Käärijä GO! 🥳
I didnt like it first times,but now i like it,crazy fun,we need this🥳🤩
WINNER! 🏆
Finland 2024 🏆
Helsinki 2024
Obsessed 💚
This stands out so much this year. I feel like it wins the televote but won't get enough from judges. Top 5 for sure.
Love the song. GO FINLAND!
Fun fact CHA CHA CHA is already topping charts all over
Lets go Finland!
Imagino todo el público de Liverpool enloquecido, celebrando esta locura y dejando una de las actuaciones más iconicas de la historia del Festival. Definitivamente se cuela en el TOP 3, junto a España y???.....Enhorabuena por el canal.
Gracias Chema. Seguro que va a montar un espectáculo impresionante 🐛
FUN FACT: Finland is world’s happiest country for sixt year running.😊 🇫🇮
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥possible winner
12PTS!!!!!! BRAVO FINLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WINNER
This year's winner
Ah, what a favourite!
10/10, no notes. TOTAL FINLAND DOMINATION! I got a fever and the only prescription is more Kaarija
I agree Katie, it is a very catchy song . You can not just sit still!
Finland for the win! 😄
I've been listening this on repeat for a month now please send help
This song is pure fire!!! Clever and calculated but at same time very irony...
This song has multiple meanings, but the most prominent one is that ”do not be afraid to be the true yourself”.
The next close meaning is that ”men are often ’forced’ to be manly and macho, and they find it hard to be themselves under the macho shells and the booze plays an excuse in this song to be themselves.. and they could blame the alcohol for the night’s behaviour in the morning”.
Also applies to sexuality. And also fits this stressful time we are living in.
Cha cha cha represents the true self of him under the macho shell and the dancers show the inner fighting on the stage as they are the true him who fights the macho singer him.
The best. 😊❤
Love it!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Currently my winner. With Jann's Gladiator not going to Eurovision, it paved a Finland Win! Let's see if Serbia sends Luke Black.
Wooo! I wanna be up there dancing too!
Imagine being there and getting to scream along… I’m jealous
Love it 🕺😊👍
Let's Cha Cha Cha #liverpool2023eurovision 💚💃🕺💃🥳
Winner!
I'll take this over 'Nophoria' anyday 😉
I’m Like Iago in this video “Come on Finland” 😂😂🎉🎉
He’s also the sweetest guy
My winner
