I loved his fake Hulk muscles & how the Cha Cha Cha dancers started out very professional then entered the "ring" and started wrestling each other!! Hilarious!! and the Maruv glitter part towards the end!! Classic! I'm lacking in severe sleep but thank you Finland! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    TKO! It will take Europe and the world by storm, and unless I am mistaken, will be the first Finnish language song that hits the charts in multiple countries. And, having watched a couple of interviews with Käärijä, it could not happen to a more lovely guy! A number of naysayers are suggesting that the juries will not vote for this, but I beg to differ. They most certainly will appreciate the humor and, assuming they read the lyric in their own languages and understand a bit about Finnish culture, they will really appreciate what the song is saying. This is not a joke song - it's a humorous song done seriously and very well. His performance will stun people into submission and will win the televote as easily as he won it in Finland.

And one of them, Sami, speaks fluent English, because he lived his first years in US. They play punk. I know many people, who don’t like punk, heavy metal etc. I have to admit the Europe was not ready for a band with disabled musicians. Finnish is a language just like many other languages.

    I got the same feeling when I watched it Matt. What will be interesting is comparing peoples reactions to this alongside Loreen. I enjoyed the total package with Kaarija but Loreens song left me a little cold - but most folk seem to be losing their minds over her staging. So it’ll be interesting to see how televoters respond to both performances.
