      Absolutely. The arena was hyped as hell for this song. The noise levels were insane. Easily the most loved on the night. The chant from the euovillage (outside the arena) where people were watching on a massive screen could literally be heard miles away.

    I was lucky enough to be in the arena for the grand final. The crowd reaction was absolutely wild. Everyone was behind him to win. He won the crowd vote by miles. Absolutely one of the most iconic songs from Eurovision ever. I cannot describe to you how much the crowd was loving him and supporting him. There were points where the presenters of the show couldn’t actually be heard as the crowd was chanting cha cha cha.

      I was hoping he won so much. I like Loreen but honestly I don't understand people who go to the same stage for winning the same competition. Like for what? I cannot imagine her thoughts, was she like in "Ahhh sсrew it, I am going to win that thing again" mood? She didn't even gain a popularity with that. I am sorry I am rude...Or maybe I am still upset becuase Finland didn't win 🙃

      @felixsteinauer Год назад +5

      Well another big difference is that the performers in the Eurovision Song Contest are usually rather professional and can be very established artists before entering the contest. American Idol would never allow for an artist with a previous long-time successful career entering their competition.

    Hands down, the best North American reaction to Finland's entry this year! So enthusiastic from the get-go and you seem genuinely curious to see more. Many people in America and Canada seem to react with, "eew, this is weird" to Käärijä initially, but this is among the performances that make Eurovision so enjoyable - the contest is a veritable cornucopia of assorted oddities. It can be wacky (Käärijä), impressive (Loreen) and sometimes downright moving (Barbara Pravi), but it's always a good time!

      Kaarija not winning is all the proof you need that the current voting system is broken and needs an overhaul.
      Someone calculated that even if he got 1st place in every voting country he'd still be like 2 points short of winning bc of the jury.
      If that isn't a rigged system then I don't know what is. He got more votes than anyone in the history of the contest and still didn't win...

    Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 Käärijä has been a huge fenomenon here since this song was originally released. I remember back in February I was at a club when this came and the whole club just exploded, everyone went just crazy! The song is about how he feels like he is a tough guy but actually would like to dance but is afraid because he is a badass. Then he drinks few pina coladas and out comes this new persona who doesn’t care what others think, he pours shampagne all over himself and dances his ass off.
    Käärijä has given so much joy to us this year and I hope he continues to find his way to many more people around the world.

    What a lovely reaction! If not the best I have seen.
    Btw. the energy shift you noticed is deliberate and totally what the song is about. It's about having a shit day (e.g. at work), sick of everything and then go out partying and getting drunk.

    this is my favourite eurovision performance of all time, not sure i'm gonna watch eurovision ever again because i am still pissed he didn't win (i voted for him 20 times, i was so obsessed 💀), but this performance is already legendary. käärijä has a lot of great songs, the latest one "it's crazy it's party" is like cha cha cha part 2, but he has a lot of completely different songs, "kovis" is my favourite but it's not available on youtube or spotify 😢

    Eurovision songs to react to:
    Zitti E Buoni - Måneskin (you should 100% do a Måneskin week!)
    SloMo - Chanel
    Dancing Lasha Tumbai - Verka Serduchka
    Stefania - Kalush Orchestra
    Shum - Go_A
    (No specific year or order they’re just some of the most popular and best performances!)
    And he does say “it’s crazy, it’s party” at the end 😂

      lmfao, show me proof of your facts. Stop rambling nonsense, How could they know how much they will win from the public votes.

Stop being delusional and accept defeat and show some grace. Toxic@@subrune

    to give a bit of context for the other comments: the points given are 50% given by the public and 50% given by juries. käärijä absolutely dominated the public votes, so you could say he's the peoples' winner, but loreen (who i assume is gonna be the last reaction) dominated the jury votes and ended up winning over all!
    also he did say it's crazy it's party! he's actually releasing a song with that title tomorrow (sep 15th)

    What an amazing reaction, I could watch your video again and again, and get in a great mood from it ! Listening to Cha Cha cha always gets me in a great mood as well, never fails ! He's my Winner 100% , I don't care what the judges think. I was in Liverpool for the event, I heard people singing the song so many times, people were talking about him, and the crowd in the arena went crazy for him , it was very clear who the people wanted to win.

    This was a great video! The joy on your faces at what was happening on screen was incredible to see!
    This went crazy in Finland! From Käärijä themed shelves at most stores to green things selling out across the country it had a bit of a cultural impact, so to say.
    A big thing about Eurovision is that it is big. It always shocking to watch North Americans react to it for the first time, because they have often never heard of it and have no idea the scale of how insane it all is, despite the live viewer numbers ranging up to 200 million people annually. It is a huge and very complicated production with an insane amount of detail going into pulling it off. So safe to say, there is a lot to learn about it all!
