He's qualifying for sure! I'm definitely voting for him to go in the final since he's my new favorite 😍 Great mixture of talent and surrealism, which to me is a must in Eurovision. Thank you for the review, Shane!
The performance was an absolute blast! The Cha Cha Cha dancers killed me when I first saw them, and we could see that they are having a fun as well, especially at the human centipede part eheh
All songs were musically up for the task so it was going to come down to the stage show. On stage everyone had their own merits, but Käärijä made it a party. So no losers in my books this year. Only winners and one is going to Liverpool.
Nothing to do with ESC, just pure ordinary curiousity, why are you in India 😅? About Finland, we could see UMK on tv here in Spain and I'm sorry but I thought this was horrible 🤣
now learn some Finnish.. just a bit... broken into syllables with anglicised spelling to make it easy. Two adjacent vowels are pronounced twice as long as one. Simple! The sound of letter a comes from the throat like a in car. The sound of letter ä comes from the mouth like the a in cat. 4:00 Noot läh.den tans.si.maan now I'm gonna get dancing niin.ku cha cha cha cha like the cha cha cha en.kä pel.kää.kään tä.tä maa.il.maa aa ha and I don't even fear this world aa ha Niin.ku cha cha cha Like the cha cha cha kun mä kaa.dan pääl.le.ni shamp.pan.yaa aa ha when I'm pouring champagne over me aa ha
Every country with a NF should look at UMK, Finland has set the bar high. This was the best NF of the season. Not only with the songs, but the performances and staging were on point. With only 7 songs, but 7 quality songs and performances. If Käärijä copies this for Eurovision it will be a televote favorite. It's my number 1 now, I was really impressed with this performance. I just smiled for 3 minutes and at the end I applaud. Well done Finland!
@@TheManInBlueFlames No the pink ballroom dancers were perfect and it covers the madness of the song. He fighting his Demons (the dancers) in the beginning and at the end he embraced it and was dancing with them.
@@EurovisionRyan Yeah, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. When he sits on them, he has conquered his own insecurities or fears. Also think the boxing part in the video, was him fighting himself since there was no one else in that ring.
@@pahakuutti Yes he was fighting him self in the video but that was hard to do on stage. So this solution was perfect and yes the humancentipide was indeed that he conquered.
A great performance and a well-deserved winner 👏👏👏 All the artists did their best, but Käärijä had the whole package - song, style, performance. Could this be the Eurovision winner? For now top 5 for sure, but to win - let's wait for the second half of the songs.
I had a similar fear about the live performance but he knocked it out the park. I watched UMK for the first time because of this song and thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. If the juries aren't marking songs like a music exam this will have a shot. I agree about the simple but effective staging - afterall it looked like a pile of old pallets. Compare that to Loreen in Melfest (which I flicked over to see) - where I believe the over expensive staging is literally doing the heavy lifting on that song and Kaarija is new, fresh and original.
I knew he would win! What a performance, I had no words! And, on the other hand, it is a very intelligent option, because it makes happy different kind of people: -The ones who love latin dances. - Metalheads -People who like dance/electronic/pop music. -Rappers. Very intelligent, my friend . Also, as we Spaniards say, he's a MONSTER on the stage! (it means that he did a really amazing job :D).
Best National final for me by far - great, slick production - enjoyed every minute. UMK have got this right IMO - excellent content, well paced, no filler and thinking of the rest of Europe, providing commentary in various languages. Excellent social media content as well. Personally would’ve been happy with any song going to Eurovision - 5 on my playlist but I think Liverpool and Eurovision needs to experience Käärijä. It is a MOMENT and will be an iconic Eurovision performance. 😁 Personally loved Kuumaa’s song the most and Benjamin (UK Jury giving 0 points ☹️). Thought Robin really uplevelled the song with cracking staging and Lxandra gave a stunning performance - beautiful, well thought out staging. If you get a chance - do watch all the performances - it was a fantastic show! Bravo UMK! 👏👏
Was my 2nd favourite studio version - he was the best performance by a mile last night - This is gonna go OFF in the arena in May - definitely a contender to win
Hey Shane, you were looking at the jury results. Final results were 1. Käärijä , 2. Portion Boys, 3. Keira, 4. Robin Packalen, 5. KUUMMA , 6. Lxandra, and 7. Benjamin”. It wasn't close. Käärijä slayed the public vote.
Those pallets are called 'EUR-pallets' (they have EUR written on them) or, in Finnish, 'eurolava' that can also be translated to 'Euro stage' (in Finnish, the word 'lava' has two meanings, pallet and stage). Genius!
@@markuserikssen Bless him but Benjamin’s live performance was not good. The music video is great and I’ve listened to it a lot on Spotify but it didn’t work on stage. Kind of the same problem Bess has.
Yes Finland.....what a choice! Liverpool is in for a blast...... Similar to you Shane, "Cha Cha Cha" wasn't my pick in UMK either. Not a negative thing at all, just i preferred Lxandra ( the most beautiful ballad of the year...so poignant and Benjamin (outrageously good) but this deserves to win. That staging, with a few tweaks, is good to go! Fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS!! From the get-go it brings a smile to your face. In these moments we all need that.... Liverpool will be Cha, Cha, Chaing for the week!! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮👏👏
UMK 2023 was so strong this year with so many great songs that could have done well in Liverpool. Käärijä's live performance convincingly lived up to the idea of the song (not an easy task), a good example of how important the live performance is. I was amazed with Benjamin's music video version and thought, early on, it was Finland's potential winner (before I saw Cha Cha Cha) but the live performance was a dissapointment. Cha Cha Cha WILL do well in Liverpool!
Thank you for this. The conservative boomers in Finland are fuming right now; they are absolutely furious & think that "everyone will laugh at us" & "THIS IS NOT MUSIC". They firmly believe that Finland will get 0 points. I've tried to tell them that everyone loves this in Europe. They don't believe me. Imma show them this reaction. TY.
Käärijä wasn't my overall favourite coming into the show, Benjamin and Kuumaa were but after the live performances Käärijä was my clear favourite. Benjamin's and Kuumaa's staging was a let down, while Käärijä's performance was amazing. I can easily see it being a top 5 in the televote in the Eurovision final. Also I'm enjoying the video coming out at this time being in a closer timezone :)
Could be a WTF moment to some people like Croatias entry, but I'm sure many people will love this (for being very different to what we have at least so far), and then some not so much, and I'm probably in the latter category.
Ahhhhhh not a fan? Interesting!!!! 🤔 Well it was in my 6th place from UMK before seeing this performance. This performance elevated the song for me hugely! I have just sent it to mu non eurovision fan friends to get their take in it ❤
@@ShanesEurovisionReview it's okay and I can see the stage fitting the message, but from all the entries we got so far, it's not that high for me sorry.
Oh u can't compare this to Croatia's abhorrent crap.... Yeah this is weird and crazy but it's actually a great song with a coherent arrangement and it sounds great musically....
Finland just won. The only improvements I can see is maybe change the lighting a little, replace the pink dancers with boxers/wrestlers and show us some pyros for the end chorus!
Maybe yes, maybe not Kaarija win ESC 2023. I wait for the Great Britain proposal Rina Kawayama ? I think the fight is hard between Finland Poland Great Britain Czechia Serbia Norway For this moment my fav is Kaarija Greetings from Italy, Shane
Hi Shane hope you’re ok. Wow you’re in India now, you do get around. Great review and I can just hear everyone in the auditorium will be singing along in Liverpool ❤
Ooh India! Hope you are having a grand time. I am hoping to get to India at some point during our travels 😍 Got to admit, I had a bit of second-hand anxiety when you held your camera up to show the Indian streets. I could just picture you dropping it and it falling to the ground 😄 As I see you have already been informed that the results you read were just the jury results. In the final results Portion Boys jumped from last to 2nd place, and were second in the televoting. They and Kaarija probably had the best overall performances. Although Robin's was definitely one to watch as well, I really enjoyed it. Overall I would say Keira was my favourite coming into the show, and it is probably still my favourite, it is just more my type of music. But I did feel a bit underwhelmed by her live performance, and their really was only one choice based on the live performances. So not too disappointed she didn't win. This was indeed a great overall package, and it was a great performance. If I do feel that Kaarija slightly relied on the backing track a little bit too much. But either way, this will certainly get the crowd going in Liverpool, and could be a potential televote winner. As you correctly indentified the betting odds have had quite the change in the last few days with this being selected, and perhaps even more so with Loreen in Sweden.
Where are you now? Do make it to India...I love it...but I am biased haha! Yeah as I was editing this video I was like "Shane you could of dropped that STUPID". I need to check out Keira's performance as she was my favourite going into the final ❤️
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Still in Thailand, here until mid April, although gonna be in Singapore a few nights from tomorrow. But will be back in the UK in May, hopefully with Eurovision tickets waiting for me 😄 🤞 I will have to ask you for some tips on places to go and see in India for when we reach there 😃
come on... this song is all about transformations. green pupae to red caterpillar. Boring repetition (work week) becomes tuneful pop (the after-work club). Shy guy plus Pina Colada says hold my beer... I'm going dancing. Cha cha cha

It's understandable to misunderstand the results (and EurovisionWorld or whoever should probably inform the results in a clearer form) but this video will mislead hundreds or thousands of people about the final results because there's no disclaimer about the error.
Before the show he was my 5th after the performances he was 2nd but I loved basically every song in the selection so very pleased! This is definitely giving televote winner
Last night I was watching UMK and melfest at the same time. 😇When Loreen came, I have to switch over poor Benjamin and Lxandra. And two of them got the lowest televote.😵😂😂 (waiting for your reactions on Loreen😛)
just so you know you were looking at the jury result, kaarija ended up getting 467 points from the televote, that’s why he wiped the floor with everyone. other notable results being portion boys coming 2nd overall, benjamin coming last and lxandra dropping to second last.
Depressingly enough, the betting odds for Sweden are much higher although they haven't even chosen the song yet. 1 Sweden 25% 2 Ukraine Tvorchi - Heart of Steel 16 % 3 Finland Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 10% 4 Norway Alessandra - Queen of Kings 6% 5 United Kingdom 5%
I obviously am against the grain here but this song doesn't do much for me. I absolutely get the hype but the sound really puts me off and I don't enjoy listening to or watching it
Sorry. I tried and tried, but I do not get the point. Is this a winning performance? I am working hard ,but I can not see it. Meybe for some televote, who likes party, caos, strengh and just having fun. I can get all of this out of Eurovision song contest. I will try to study the lyrics and watch the performance again, and maybe it grows on me. At the moment I can not see it.
I didn't think the live performance could make this entry better, but here we go! I'm actually obsessed now
yehhhhhh!!!! 12pts!!!!!! love it!!!!! bravo finland!!! good luck!!!!
I love the fact that the stage was built from EUR pallets which translates into "euro-lava" in Finnish which means both euro pallets and euro stage.😂
Wait a minute? National finals there were FIN pallets and in London EUR pallets... Finnilava ja Eurolava korjaa toki jos olen väärässä.
He's qualifying for sure! I'm definitely voting for him to go in the final since he's my new favorite 😍 Great mixture of talent and surrealism, which to me is a must in Eurovision. Thank you for the review, Shane!
I agree, Finland has made an amazing choice! Love the song ^^
The performance was an absolute blast! The Cha Cha Cha dancers killed me when I first saw them, and we could see that they are having a fun as well, especially at the human centipede part eheh
The human centipede moment is my favourite hahahahaha
@@ShanesEurovisionReview And worse/best part is that it makes perfect sense with the song moment/vibe ahahah
Definitivamente es el ganador de Eurovisión 2023 🙄 12 points from Spain 🇪🇦❤️
Helsinki 2024...lo veo
110% energy level, strong stage charisma, seasoned with some self-irony 🔥 Him performing in the end of the night, after a couple of sleepy ballads 😁

@@abcdefg5625 oh damn youre right, im so used to them performing in the first

This guy is going places... he's a STAR,i wouldent be surprized if he becomes a world hit,yes,in the U.s as well

I LOVE this song and the DANCERS. ❤ 🇫🇮 I take that the "evil dancers" represent alcohol as the lyrics are about drinking and then feeling free.

I have not seen Loreen yet haha 😂
@@ShanesEurovisionReview there was a false start….SVTs standards are slipping 😉
I knew he would win! What a performance, I had no words! And, on the other hand, it is a very intelligent option, because it makes happy different kind of people:
-The ones who love latin dances.
- Metalheads
-People who like dance/electronic/pop music.
-Rappers.
Very intelligent, my friend . Also, as we Spaniards say, he's a MONSTER on the stage! (it means that he did a really amazing job :D).

go finland! i love this song
Those pallets are called "eurolava" or europallet in English and it's definately clever thing as it winks at eurovision. Living & loving it all!
Eurolava can be translated as Euro-stage, too. But nobody outside Finland will know this so what's the point?
@@Atomisti maybe to create a stage for the Finnish national final? 🙈
Was my 2nd favourite studio version - he was the best performance by a mile last night - This is gonna go OFF in the arena in May - definitely a contender to win

It's understandable to misunderstand the results (and EurovisionWorld or whoever should probably inform the results in a clearer form) but this video will mislead hundreds or thousands of people about the final results because there's no disclaimer about the error.
I have cut this section out. Sorry. It takes about an hour for UA-cam to process edits. I promise it is in the process. Super Promise!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Thank you! Otherwise another great video
I have edited that part out now haha ❤
Hi I had Keira as my favourite but hey ho good luck to him. Enjoy India Shane. ☮️❤️
Before the show he was my 5th after the performances he was 2nd but I loved basically every song in the selection so very pleased! This is definitely giving televote winner
I don't like song. I feel watch it like on cheap show in a cheap theater
I think the show still needs a lot of polishing but all the basic elements are there. :)
Benjamin was bad at live. This was awesome live!!
Last night I was watching UMK and melfest at the same time. 😇When Loreen came, I have to switch over poor Benjamin and Lxandra. And two of them got the lowest televote.😵😂😂 (waiting for your reactions on Loreen😛)
Hoping to check out Loreen tonight 😁
I miss India
💜💜💜💜
What do you think? Have we already seen our winner for Eurovision 2023? Let me know in the comments below 👇 ⬇
just so you know you were looking at the jury result, kaarija ended up getting 467 points from the televote, that’s why he wiped the floor with everyone. other notable results being portion boys coming 2nd overall, benjamin coming last and lxandra dropping to second last.
@@sense8339 yeah sorry someone told me this. Embarrassing. Haha. Thank you 💕
@@sense8339 I have edited that part out now haha ❤
Depressingly enough, the betting odds for Sweden are much higher although they haven't even chosen the song yet.
1 Sweden 25%
2 Ukraine Tvorchi - Heart of Steel 16 %
3 Finland Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 10%
4 Norway Alessandra - Queen of Kings 6%
5 United Kingdom 5%
U know what we are waiting for .........LOREEN !!!!!! X
Hahahahahaha 🤣 💖
What are you doing in India?
Just visiting some friends for a week. Nothing exciting! Just Delhi 💖
I obviously am against the grain here but this song doesn't do much for me. I absolutely get the hype but the sound really puts me off and I don't enjoy listening to or watching it
Stage performance aside, the song is so awful that I am very ashamed to be finnish.
Even Kojo's: nuku pommiin beats this hands down.
Sorry. I tried and tried, but I do not get the point. Is this a winning performance? I am working hard ,but I can not see it. Meybe for some televote, who likes party, caos, strengh and just having fun.
I can get all of this out of Eurovision song contest. I will try to study the lyrics and watch the performance again, and maybe it grows on me. At the moment I can not see it.
