people saying his vocals werent perfect - loreen isnt the best vocalist in the show, either. shes good, but she was clearly judged for the whole package, such as how expensive and modern the staging looked. unicorn got a lot of points for the same reason. eurovision is quickly becomnig a show in which the jury looks not just in a narrow vocal and "spotify friendly" criteria list, but also who can afford making the most expensive stage show. both of which are sadly criteria which overlook X factor and the parts of a performance that cant be judged in such logical, quantifiable ways.
It is difficult to sing and dance at the same time, which is recognized by singers. Käärijä is very good, with a real voice, good originality, humorous and interesting banter, and singing in his own mother tongue, which is very good. If you point out the standard, Käärijä is his unique style. I like it very much and I was instantly fascinated💚💚💚💚💚💚👍👍👍👍👍
@@tenorandrewowens hes a rapper. But still, if you took the time to look at his other works- especially the recent stuff.. youd see that he's also a damn good vocalist when he needs to be.
All the people saying his vocals "sound off" think that live performances are supposed to sound exactly like the studio recording. Go be uneducated elsewhere.
@@DruzyWoozy. The winner isnt decided purly off of live vocals LMAOOOO, Kaarija's performence was better and he also recieved a record breaking amount of Televotes, and the fact that Loreen got so much love from the Jury and Kaarija got absolutely shafted by the Jury is why she ended up winning, cause the Jury would rather see someone win twice and have ABBA's 50th in Sweden then pick a winner that the people actually liked
@@khalilparker1473 eh, I’d say Loreen still won fair and square. 1st in jury, 2nd in televote. I personally do not like cha cha cha (which you can not come for me because I usually like this side of songs, aka Italy 2021, Croatia 2024, and Finland 2021) because the song didn’t sound good in the grand final. Australia was my winner and I understand how much Finland deserved to win but the point of this contest was to unite people, not divide them because the person they wanted to win didn’t win
From my understanding the jury categories are the song itself(originally and composition) Live performance( vocal part and staging of the performance) and then crowd/audience reactions. When Loreen’s performance is designed to be the strongest if any other songs are at a huge disadvantage. It’s kind of unfair but it’s not against the rules to perform in a way that are above the standards that the jury apparently has that it becomes an unfair advantage.
When 70% of the decisions the jury make are based solely on the performance and over half on the strength of the performer(s) themselves. It’s reasonable someone to think a performer has a decent fan base to fight the televote battle so absolutely stun the jury and gain their points.
People who say originality should count for more it’s not the main focus of its own “category” the jury were given. Also using many samples from different sources and having it sound amazing is a massive component to COMPOSITION the other part to originally and as originally in a decent amount of genres is hard it’s not super important.
Peoples with voice, in other countrys trying to get IN THE FINALS of the National Selections, while Finland is sending Käärijä, a random boy, with 0 voice , just CHA CHA CHA. Not for me ! This is Eurovision, not ur Nught Club. There are winners like , 2016,2017,2012,2014,2021.. If this boy was the winner. I cant imagine . This is not worth to be even in the finals🤣
@@777esci listenend to almost every song in this years esc a hundred times and cha cha cha isn't even top 10. One of the worst songs this year, absolute trash
@@user-vj4dp4xr8k Eurovision is a music competition! The criteria should be the song and the voice and then the performance... Finland won the 2nd place because it had a verse that stuck in your mind "Cha Cha Cha" and because of the performance. Käärijä has no voice
@@MusicAudioOfficial Lol, not the person posting the video hating in the comments😅 Cha cha cha was 4th on juries so clearly many juries didn't give shit about vocals so you can keep on hating. It's a rap song so vocals aren't the thing here🙄
@@777esc It's funny how you like something that lacks talent, not even a song, just because it is like a circus. Admit it he got a lot of points from juries just bc of he was a fan favorite.
@@777esc and who else left the screen from above. Calling loreen's stage boring is nothing short of envy. In the end the music won, the clowns lost.Stay mad
@@777escude we are all eurovision fans here. Kaarija has absolutely no vocals and uses playback, we all know what good staging is and good vocals at the same time, for example Ukraine 2021, kaarija doesnt compare AT ALL To Go_A and Shum was a REAL unique, original performance, had INCREDIBLE staging and had AMAZING vocals.That being said, neither Finland or Sweden are my winners, but id deffo have sweden winning over finland.
@@lb2419 No one expects more points for Käärijä. But instead we would expect juries doing their job professionally, giving balanced points to all acts as they deserve, and not only to that one act they prefer. Juries were brought back to prevent block voting, but instead preventing it, they practised it to the extreme. I don't mind Loreen getting the most jury points, and Käärijä getting the 4th position from the juries, but the difference, that's unexplainable. No way Loreen was 2 or 3 times better than everyone else, getting +92% jury points of the jury's 2nd place. Robbed means that juries gave ESC history's biggest headstart (+177 points) to Loreen, and made it impossible to anyone else to win, no matter the televote results.
@@Eva-mp7xg if the jury really did their jobs, kaarija would get somewhere between 10th - 15th in the jury vote. 4th in the jury looking so suspicious right now! so he would still lose even if he got the highest point in televote. Idk why you're complaining about the jury. The jury help him as much as they could by giving him more points than they usually did 😂
@@supertiredmerr Maybe because it's not a singing competition? Evaluation of vocal capabilities should include rap, metal, operatic singing... everything. Originality and composition should be rewarded with points, as well as staging and performance, and overall impression. Also, there's nowhere in the pointing criteria that says that the pop genre should be pointed higher than metal / rock / techno / electric / rap or anything else. There are great deep dive videos where you can find what would be the outcome if juries pointed this year professionally (e.g. ThePeaceAround put Finland into 3rd place which sounds reasonable. I can recommend her deep dive video.)

Thank you for sharing the jury final recordings.
Thanks for your support! 🙏🏼❤️
This was awsome 🤩🤩🤩

If you use this logic, then Loreen is undoubtedly the winner. 🤷🏼

Käärijä did so well ♥ everyone is so proud!

Absolutely killed it! 😎 this will forever be the most robbed eurovision entry
Käärijä is so dynamic and he really stands out 💚 love it
Hot take: his vocals in the jury final is better than in the televised grand final
His vocals were only good at the Finnish national final. At Eurovision it's pretty bad each performance. His chorus sounds ridiculously shaky.

do you have a link for the footage from the semi 1 jury show
This song should have won. It's a SONG contest not SINGING contest
One of the criterias for the jury is LITERALLY vocal 😂 the contest is about singing, song and performance. It has always been like that.
Oh God!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@777esc It's a music competition - it's not the Brazilian carnival! If there was a carnival contest Käärijä would surely win it
@@777esc 1. define originality
2. my point still stands lol
3. i literally said song. you have bad comprehension
@@MusicAudioOfficialwhy did you post this if you clearly hate it so much??? Your comments towards this are horrible
Could you possibly find the Mad VMA version of Cha cha cha with Kalomira?
💚💚💚
Somehow the audio mix makes his voice sound really weird in the second part... Like worse that hos actual singing is
Yeah if a live performance wasn’t required the Käärijä wins over Sweden but then the debate becomes Finland vs Norway.
Käärijä 🎉🎉🎉💚
And still the juries hurt him??
In my top 100 for year end review most listened to tracks. Still a travesty the judges stole their win.
That’s why Jury should be in semifinals as well
2:34
Sorry it wasn’t good and wonder how this end 4th after jury and be televoting winner??
Should be top 20-26 by juries

That's Tatto
@@vol.145 no it's cha cha cha
@@777esc It is but the jury final performance was just not it!
Nah it's not off pitch, it's shaky in the last part
Sweden should gave 0 not 12 as well Norway
This is definitely 25-26th in jury voting not 4th
Typical swedish crybaby, crying even if you won.
Juries completely robbed this song.
How? 4th place is as high as he was realistically going to get, due to how strict esc juries are with vocals.
Why did this get so many points? His vocals are off.
Thank you!!!! 🙌 🙌 Finaly someone said it!!
Vocals is just 1 of the criteria
He is a rapper...

I don’t think this deserved 2nd, I’d give it 8th or 9th.
How did this get 150 points?? It is unfair. He deserved 50-80. He even doesnt sing it
Shouldn't be above estonia when clearly estonia has better vocal technicalities. Shouldn't be above Spain too.
