Actually I have never been any kind of a fan of our candidates for European Song Contest.. I am a Finn though.. But this.. this one I just love! I love the character, "Käärijä" who is such a lovely person and the mixture of the different genres of music is absolutely fantastic! I am a fan of techno and dance music so I am so proud of Käärijä and the whole group! I wish them luck so much to the competition in Liverpool! I wish I could be there in May! The audience will be so excited ❤
I don't care if Käärijä doesn't win, this is just so great on stage, I love it to bits! The chaotic energy is off the charts 🤪 I've listened to this in the mornings and wow, don't even need coffee anymore! 😄 I know Loreen will please the more vanilla masses, so it'll probably win.
FROM ESPAÑA, congratulation FINLAND. Im in love this song, this artist, this performance. Its so insane, crazy, sexy, enérgical. NO DOUBT, 12 points from España.
This is just crazy good. The song has rap, rock, teq, and pop all of the sudden just genius. This is whats alll about. Makes you wanna dance, makes you happy and it's unique as hell. Every other song is like a sleeping pill compared to this.... Winner 100%
The song is about a shy Finnish man who changes into a party animal after a few pina coladas. He is not afraid of the world and of dancing his heart out. This is a winner song. 👍
He is singing about how he feels exhausted after a long week at work, and gets few Pina-Colada's at the bar...Starting to relax and dancers are repping while he's getting tipsy and finally lets it loose! All his fears are gone after breaking the ice and he just enjoys at the dancefloor! Amazing performance! 3 genres of music in one performance...this is THE BOMB!
I just love the lyric "enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa" which means "I'm not afraid of this world anymore" when he lets loose and it's just so cute in the middle of the metalpartypoprockwhateverthisis! ❤️
This is such a proper Finnish, wonderful party music. Finns are notoriously shy, so at the end of a hard work week it's sometimes nice to go out and relax. And sometimes after a few beers, the dancing feet start to flutter and you feel relaxed. Even the conversation goes well in Chinese when necessary. It feels like you could hug the whole world. Definitely not feeling shy anymore. And after the weekend, you can handle it again at work 😁 When you listen to this, you'll be in a good mood. Definitely a Wrapper for Liverpool. Cha Cha Cha 🤩
Hello from Finland! 🇫🇮 So the song is about the finnish drinking culture, how guys dont usually dance before they've downed a few drinks. Then in that drunk euforia you just feel like you're on top of the world, you can finally relax and really let loose. It's kind of sad really, that the culture here is like that, that you just cant unwind without drinking but I do love the song!
Helsinki 2024!! 12 points from Spain! I'm absolutely in love with this song, with Kaarija an his charismatic performance. I heard some songs from him and he's a great rapper and a wild animal on the stage. This guy is gold 💚👌👌
It has actually good lyrics. It doesn't highlight alcohol drinking, more like otherwise. You should be able to dance and be yourself without alcohol too :) But in Finland, it's usual that you need a couple of "pina coladas" able to relax.
I agree. First I was like, oh great, a song about drinking alcohol, but it’s not - I’d even say the lyrics are highly personal, he’s showing a lot about who he really is through both lyrics and performance. I think it’s about feeling the pressure, perhaps being a bit shy and knowing your limits, but wanting to push through and have a good time, for real. He’s giving a lot of himself in this song.
Hahaha I’m sure I’ve been to that nightclub as well hahaha 🤣. The more I listen to it, I love it. The audience will be going Cha Cha Cha in Liverpool. He seems to get out the aggression in the first half then we see a softer side to him in the second half of the song and he’s not bad to look at either.
When I fist hear this I knew within 20 seconds it's something special, I'm so happy we send this to Liverpool🇫🇮 and Käärijä himself...so sweet as a person❤️
The short explanation is that the song is about going out to a club and drinking and dancing. He mentions Pina Colada and champagne. (There is more to it but that's the short version). My favourite song so far. 🥰
It’s more about the internal struggle of a shy, reserved man. He wants to feel free to be himself (and dance) without fear of judgement. When he’s had enough to drink he can break out of his shell and have some fun. I think Käärijä is saying we shouldn’t be afraid to be ourselves, even if we sometimes look silly or make mistakes.
I had to smile at your reaction 😂😂 Yeah, it's a party song, lyrics about drinking and then suddenly he's not "afraid of the the world" anymore... unknown if he means being intoxicated or somehow developed person. Nice song! 🇫🇮🇫🇮
Rata = Pub crawl / Bar and Nightclub hopping. Literally track, lap or orbit. Kumota = Toss down (a beer or any alcohol). Literally flip over, undo or overturn.
I am here just to soak up everything from 2023. The year when all my money went to Käärijä conserts (6, I am not Finnish, but many others have gone to like 50?). I did not watch everything in beforehand, sorry! But your reaction is gold, love you!
the lyrics tells about a man, who has weeks on end been at work, and would like to let loose. He needs few drinks more in order to step on the dance floor. It's fun for us here in Finland, since we here are not shy, but quite apprahencive about anyone or anything. :D
Hey guys i can explain what was the songs meaining. So the song talks about partying and drinking. I can't wait for the eurovision song contest 2023 in Liverpool!
Käärijä - an alternative character created by Jere Pöyhönen - is, I feel, singing about a very Finnish thing that is shared by a lot of folks. He feels awkward in the nightclub after a bad week and is downing pina coladas to build up "Dutch courage". The Cha Cha dancers are trying to pull him into the dance floor. Käärijä then breaks through his timidity and ends up on the dance floor - where the music changes.

I think we FINALLY have a realistic chance to win it all🇫🇮🇫🇮
Until you hear Loreen - Tattoo
@@MarcusPalle that one is alright, but i like how energic this one is
Loreen will win. I like this entry but it won’t win
Loreen's song is very generic.
I don't care if Käärijä doesn't win, this is just so great on stage, I love it to bits! The chaotic energy is off the charts 🤪 I've listened to this in the mornings and wow, don't even need coffee anymore! 😄 I know Loreen will please the more vanilla masses, so it'll probably win.
12 points from sweden!!

Bruh how does his dancers look more insane than he does? How is that possible?
They are very professional
It’s the fake teeth
They’d have to as they are the piña coladas! 😂
The song is about a shy Finnish man who changes into a party animal after a few pina coladas. He is not afraid of the world and of dancing his heart out. This is a winner song. 👍
I need a pina colada.....
This years Eurovision will be a battle between the Nordics
I think Finland can nail it this year! I love this entry!
So far my most played song of ESC 2023. And, dare I say it? He's sexy!
Eurovision needs Cha Cha Cha! 🇫🇮💣💥💚
He is singing about how he feels exhausted after a long week at work, and gets few Pina-Colada's at the bar...Starting to relax and dancers are repping while he's getting tipsy and finally lets it loose!

This song has been living rent free in my head for a month now.
I wouldnt be suprised if Finland won.
Time to have fun in Europe! Go Finland!
I just love the lyric "enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa" which means "I'm not afraid of this world anymore" when he lets loose and it's just so cute in the middle of the metalpartypoprockwhateverthisis! ❤️
Mystical and silence Finnish people get wild and crazy sometimes ❤
Finland!💚12POINTS for me!💚
This better win eurovision. Let's go to Helsinki next year!
I agree with you.. but the contest will be in Tampere Finland the next year! ❤
12 points to FINLAND!! 😍
🥇FINLAND🇫🇮🍹it’s crazy. its party.
North europe is taking the trophy this year
This is such a proper Finnish, wonderful party music. Finns are notoriously shy, so at the end of a hard work week it's sometimes nice to go out and relax.

1% nudity
1% Kpop
98% Cha, cha cha, cha cha cha CHAAAAAA!!!!!!
..and when you read subtitles it's 100% Finnish guy's Friday night ;)
Indeed, not good enough for the win.
Hello from Finland! 🇫🇮 So the song is about the finnish drinking culture, how guys dont usually dance before they've downed a few drinks.

It's kind of sad really, that the culture here is like that, that you just cant unwind without drinking but I do love the song!
You need only 0,5 liters of Koskenkorva and it is all fine ;)
This is a good description of the what the song is about. 💚💚
It's indeed sad he sings about needing alcohol to have fun. Me as an introvert am more relaxed when NOT on the dance floor lol
I love everything about it.... the ballroom dancers and everything!! GO FINLAND!!
Salmiakki and Mumitroolsss..... here we goooooooooooo...
It's crazy it's party. It's true😆
Good comments! We have the possible winner here, so great!
Helsinki 2024!! 12 points from Spain! I'm absolutely in love with this song, with Kaarija an his charismatic performance. I heard some songs from him and he's a great rapper and a wild animal on the stage. This guy is gold 💚👌👌
loved your dance moves💃💃💃 go finland!!
This song is electric. It’s such a strong entry. It’s catchy, edgy, fun, a little silly, a little serious.
Catchy as hell. 😀
It has actually good lyrics. It doesn't highlight alcohol drinking, more like otherwise. You should be able to dance and be yourself without alcohol too :) But in Finland, it's usual that you need a couple of "pina coladas" able to relax.

All work and no play makes Kaarija a wild boy😎🥳🔥
Love it !!! Winner vibes !
💪🏻🤩👋🏻👋🏻 hellio from Finland 🇫🇮💋💋💋
I absolutely love Cha Cha Cha 😍
Wow! 🎉 I love dance. Nice lyrics! They can win all! Heja Finland🇫🇮

It's Crazy, It's Party
Wait, you didn't hear this song until yesterday!? 🤣
It's catchy as hell, haha!
After you hear it you want to go wrestle some bears in a snowy forest,naked,and win.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Best comment
So great reaction! Good luck to you!
When I fist hear this I knew within 20 seconds it's something special, I'm so happy we send this to Liverpool🇫🇮 and Käärijä himself...so sweet as a person❤️
Finland 12 points! ❤

Thank you! 🙏🏻♥️
@@eurovoxx its also that after a long week of work you can finally let go and drink party etc😂😂
And more he drinks, more relaxed and open he became, that's why song changes style in the middle.
It’s more about the internal struggle of a shy, reserved man. He wants to feel free to be himself (and dance) without fear of judgement. When he’s had enough to drink he can break out of his shell and have some fun. I think Käärijä is saying we shouldn’t be afraid to be ourselves, even if we sometimes look silly or make mistakes.
@@mmnde12 Indeed that is the main message. Finnish men are extremely reserved and unable to let it loose without the help of Koskenkorva
I feel thevsame Andy !! Cha cha cha is amazing and Kaarija too. I love it 😂😂❤❤
I had to smile at your reaction 😂😂 Yeah, it's a party song, lyrics about drinking and then suddenly he's not "afraid of the the world" anymore... unknown if he means being intoxicated or somehow developed person. Nice song! 🇫🇮🇫🇮
You: I'm hoping this is gonna be something that will wake me up
Me: 😏
Great reaction!
I'm definitely not a fan of rap at all but for some reason that rap part at 1:55 sounds so awesome. My favorite part of the song. Stands out
amazing, top 3
Its nice to see "easy" repeatable dance as well as catchy song.
Right off impressed by your accurate pronunciation of "UMK".
12 points from Estonia 🇪🇪
, Catchy as hell
I loooove it! Käärijä is such a sweetheart
I love it more each time😂The energy is great,crazy🥳🤩

I am here just to soak up everything from 2023. The year when all my money went to Käärijä conserts (6, I am not Finnish, but many others have gone to like 50?). I did not watch everything in beforehand, sorry! But your reaction is gold, love you!
Cha cha cha - LOREEN! 💃
Welcome to Poland, hope we choose as good as Finland today 😅
This comment didn’t age well
😍😍😍😍💓
Thank you ,,you happy THIS song,,good👌😄💚📶
Great song g i
I live it so much❤❤ Good luck in Liverpool
Love it so much ❤❤
The stage is build from "eurolava" that is for packaging but Finnish word "lava" is also stage. So the cage is Euro stage. Got it?
the lyrics tells about a man, who has weeks on end been at work, and would like to let loose. He needs few drinks more in order to step on the dance floor. It's fun for us here in Finland, since we here are not shy, but quite apprahencive about anyone or anything. :D
З парного танцю Ча Ча Ча він зробив груповий 🤣😇
Let's danccee again friends,,Cha Cha chaaa📶📶📶🎼😄🤣👌💨💨this is Käärijä my Country Man,,its funny and i likeee🔉🔉🔉😄👋
Hey guys i can explain what was the songs meaining. So the song talks about partying and drinking. I can't wait for the eurovision song contest 2023 in Liverpool!
Käärijä - an alternative character created by Jere Pöyhönen - is, I feel, singing about a very Finnish thing that is shared by a lot of folks.
He feels awkward in the nightclub after a bad week and is downing pina coladas to build up "Dutch courage".
The Cha Cha dancers are trying to pull him into the dance floor.
Käärijä then breaks through his timidity and ends up on the dance floor - where the music changes.
He is good, eh? XD winer 100%
Kocham tego gościa, ale i tak kocham również moją ukochaną Warszawę&Polskę :) :)
Annnnnndddd!.......que the kids! I was almost sure Humpy Dumpty was going to make an appearance. Daffy duck as well! Lol
1400 thumbs up and 4 !? thumbs down. Now that is some ratio.... =))
In Finland we saying: Eurovison is like playing a dart on drunk -never now who vill be sussceed 😋😋
great pronounciation of "UMK" 😁
This is good song and Norway also have amazing song, but sweden Loreen is dull and boring song if that is what they send to Liverpool.
The best ever in Eurovision with Lordi too
It's a song about drinking, partying, gettin loose and loose stiffness.
Helsinki vs Stockholm
Helsinki vs Stockholm vs Oslo
Nordic vs Europe
*Tampere vs Stockholm
Has sweden even picked a song yet?
Might just be!
12point Italy the best Marco Mengoni
2:37 weird when in a song contest you hear someone singing. 😬
you hit the club sober and start drinking really fast getting more drunk and finally all the bets are off.
