This is a complete package. Finland is definitely not going for safe this year. I love this song so much. It is weird it is catchy and the act is brilliant. 12 points to Finland. CHA CHA CHA TO THE TROPHY.
The lyrics are about how finnish people are usually all shy and introvert and grumpy when being sober. Aftet hard work week he wants to relax with some piña coladas at a club. At the end when the music gets calmer and slower, he has broken his icy shell and he’s heading to the dance floor where he can be more open and himself. Kinda like the whole song those two sides are fighting, and at the end the more fun and open side takes over. If that made any sense :D
All of them went from being scared and confused to screaming and singing along in the end He's too strong If the juries don't ruin him in the final, he has top-3 potential This is just amazing
unpopular opinion here: this is why he's currently my number 1. He wrote it himself, it's divisive, risky, it has the best "call to action" of any entry thus far and it's not a formula. while others have the same songwriters as their old songs, textbook Eurovision staging, similar styles of what we've seen before, etc. Spain and Finland are the only ones that were brave enough to send something unique this year (at the moment)
At the beginning I was like: "Oh... just another typical Finland-ish metal entry", and then the dancers came in in pink, and the first CHA CHA CHA began, and they just got me and never let me go again... I'm so obsessed with this. I think that the winner (so far) will be between Ukraine (duh), Finland, Norway, or Sweden (if Loreen wins). Thank you Scandinavia for bringing me back the hope on the contest ❤. Love from a Chilean Eurofan 🇨🇱📍🇨🇭
It is absolutely impossible to talk while watching that performance, it is totally bonkers and captivating and the catchiest thing ever. I do think that the whole thing is like some kind of fever dream to watch but so very entertaining. Definitely a song that I didn't want to like but do! Surely top 5??
This screams winner from a distance as far as from Brussels to Liverpool! I want this to win and show how we never should take us seriously yet do the job exquisitely!
I LOVE the DANCERS and think they represent a l c o h o l. The first verse begins with "I'm holding drinks with two hands" and he's controling the dancers with ropes (both hands). The second verse begins with "after a few pina coladas" and now the dancers are free and begin fighting with eachother. It's very well staged, great song, I hope it wins! ❤🎉🇫🇮
I love the energy and the self-irony. And I want the outfit 😁In the end he sings "I'm not afraid the world anymore" and the tone changes 180 degrees. So free yourself, just dance cha cha cha 😋
I think Katie's right - it's very much love it or hate it. And I love it. It's been stuck in my head on and off since the UMK songs were all released, and I'm pleased it won. Finland, though, deserve credit for having a national final without a single dud song. Seven great options, one good final. This is one I have as a potential winner, or top 5 at least. Certainly with televises. And I'm imagining the noise of the arena in Liverpool as everyone chants along....
i just imagine if liverpool everybody sing same time those cha cha chaa part, how cool is that and how much that give goosepumps in audience there and people who watching tv. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful week.
I loved it when the cha cha dancers came in. It's like him saying "you expect cha cha dancers to come in, here you have them! But I'm gonna subvert your expectations with them." It's manic genius!
The man is fighting his own demons at first so the cha cha dancers look a bit evil. When he gets liberated and the music changes the dancers also look happier 😄
Imagino todo el público de Liverpool enloquecido, celebrando esta locura y dejando una de las actuaciones más iconicas de la historia del Festival. Definitivamente se cuela en el TOP 3, junto a España y???.....Enhorabuena por el canal.
I wish I could have my first listen to this song again. It's so fun watching you all react. I did struggle a bit with the transition in style in the middle but now I adore that moment and really enjoy the subtle shift before the tone really changes, and then how they bring the shouty "cha cha cha" back towards the end to tie it up together. Not sure about the staging - I definitely enjoyed it but I'm curious about whether they can bring something even better to Liverpool if they've got more time to work on it.
*WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FINLAND'S ENTRY FOR EUROVISION 2023?* 🇫🇮
I still don't know what to think about it 😄
ESC competition points record.
The Bullseye🏆 Pure ENERGY 🐝

Thanks for this explanation. It definitely makes a bit more sense now.

He's too strong

This is just amazing
Juries will end up like them all 😂

Love it immensely. And I’m 60!!!!!!!
In the words of Käärijä himself

Just a small (big) correction, Finland is not part of Scandinavia :) If you want to include Finland (and Iceland), the correct term is Nordic.
I am obsessed with this song! It has already become one of my all time favorite eurovision entries
"Finland understood the assignment"
Epic
Hey, I'm from Finland. This song makes people smile and invite to dance.
The Käärijä hopes that this song will bring joy to people. ❤😄
My winner for this year!
Greatest song at this eurovision by a mile, top 3 for sure in may!
"Finland understood the assignment."
This is FUN !! Go FINLAND

A song that fits the times. We all need some Cha Cha Cha at the moment!

The dancers may also represent his inner feelings, first restricted by inhibitions, then freed by alcohol.
I love the energy and the self-irony. And I want the outfit 😁In the end he sings "I'm not afraid the world anymore" and the tone changes 180 degrees. So free yourself, just dance cha cha cha 😋

Or maybe hate to love it or even love to hate it?! I've decided that it's brilliantly bonkers!
This is my for sure winner! I haven’t been SHOOK by a Eurovision entry this way for a while, maybe ever! Helsinki 2024, baby!
"Tell us which side you're on"
💃I'm on the WINNER side baby!💃

Words cannot describe how much I loved EVERYTHING about this entry! We'll be cha cha cha-ing into Helsinki 2024, for sure! ❤️

Yall Finland for the win this year, greetings from Sweden 😅
Totally BEST!!!!! Go Käärijä GO! 🥳
Obsessed 💚
I loved it when the cha cha dancers came in. It's like him saying "you expect cha cha dancers to come in, here you have them! But I'm gonna subvert your expectations with them." It's manic genius!
The man is fighting his own demons at first so the cha cha dancers look a bit evil. When he gets liberated and the music changes the dancers also look happier 😄

Gracias Chema. Seguro que va a montar un espectáculo impresionante 🐛
He’s also the sweetest guy
My winner
I agree Katie, it is a very catchy song . You can not just sit still!
The fact the staging had Latin dancers doing actual cha cha figures on time broke my dancer brain but I loved it!
10/10, no notes. TOTAL FINLAND DOMINATION! I got a fever and the only prescription is more Kaarija
This song is pure fire!!! Clever and calculated but at same time very irony...
Love it 🕺😊👍
Love it!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
I’m Like Iago in this video “Come on Finland” 😂😂🎉🎉

This stands out so much this year. I feel like it wins the televote but won't get enough from judges. Top 5 for sure.
Let's dance this together in Liverpool .
I wish I could have my first listen to this song again. It's so fun watching you all react.

IKR? My new hobby is just watching reaction videos to Käärijä.
Winner
Imagine being there and getting to scream along… I’m jealous
