CONGRATULATIONS TO FINLAND FROM A SPANISH FOLLOWER OF MY WINNER EL REY KÄÄRIJÄ!! MegaHit this song, the artist, the setting, the lights.... everything is perfect. When I heard the song over a month ago, I had no doubt that he was going to win at the Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, and I hope that if he doesn't win in the Grand Final that he will stay in the top three big Käärijä excited and very happy to see even where have you arrived I put it in the car with the volume up and I'm going to learn your song in Finnish and sing it with you at the Grand Final and because I don't have the green top but I'll dress just like you I love you Käärijä we will always dance CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHAAAAA! 12 points from Spain European brothers... ylivoimainen suomi!!!!
Many people have been confused by this 😄 If you watch the music video, there are english subtitles ( the video is fun too ! ) At the start he is serious, but he has an alter ego that loves to dance, who only comes out after he has consumed some pina coladas
@@juan.espejo Yes it's about a man who feels he has to be very macho, but when he drinks he dares to dance and be more soft. The lyrics are about how he's waiting to get drunk so he can be what he want to be.
What people dont know is that Finnland has a history of Tango. Dont ask me why, they adapted it some time ago, there is a lot of Tango going on in Finnland with finnish singers, so the Cha cha cha refers a little bit to this.
@@juan.espejo There's also the tango festival called Tangomarkkinat in which there are competitions to find the best tango singers, composers and dancers. Fun fact: Erika Vikman won the best tango singer competition in 2016. In 2020, she was participating UMK with her song "Cicciolina"
I love this song, and as a Finn, I'm so happy we all seem to love it. Even if I thlnk we might have an actual chance to do very well at the ESC this year, I'm just over-joyed just by the fact that the world gets to see this performance. 💗
Whoa! 😲 You ALMOST got me when you said that you felt "deeply offended" by this performance... 😓 But I am glad that you were just kidding. 😅😁 Käärijä is actually one of my top 3 favorites (The other two is Loreen/Sweden and Alessandra/Norway) ☺
I am not happy with finnland coming in as second. As a German I could me fully concentrate on which I am going to root for the win. It was clear, that was not the German one :D The Swedish Song was not bad, but had in my point of view nothing what really stood out. And it was a song which we heard thousands of times. nothing special at all.After listening to Käärijä I was more or less sure this would be gonna win. Sadly it did not. Si no me equivoco en un video de esta canción Käärijä actuó como luchador en una cuadrilátero. Entonces no es una casualidad que tiene la apariencia de un luchador de lucha libre.
The whole world will be Cha Cha Chaaaaing soon enough!! 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹 Crazy PARTY PEOPLE to forget the struggles of the world for a moment. Basic message of this song. NO FEAR! Have FUN!! 🍥
This song is about drinking pina coladas and after your drunk you can dance. Becouse Finnish people are too shy to dance before they are drunk. Drink pinacoladas and after that you can dance and love the world..
This song has a strong wtf factor - and I'm half Finnish, half latina! The story seems to be that at first Käärijä's somewhat stoic and tough, he doesn't have the courage to be himself. Then he drinks some piña coladas and eventually opens up. Towards the end of the song we see him for who he really is.
Yeah, it starts off with hypermasculine vibes with that muscle bolero, and with the growling, dark style. He is controlling and competitive, showing off, and wants to keep everyone at a distance and in a leash. In the end he opens up and gets even emotional, and eventually also joins the dance in a social way, as just one of the dancers. It's the archetypical Finnish Friday evening story, with the lyrics being about getting over your social anxiety.
@@juan.espejo I'm still suffering from the heart attack... I saw your video after some (white) Finnish people posted about how horrible the song is because of Cultural Appropriation of Latin culture and colonial references to slavery etc. I was really sad for a moment thinking I had misunderstood everything and needed to consult my Cuban friends. After speaking to them and seeing your wonderful video I feel I can "legitimately" cheer for Finland again. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own reaction but I love the way you put it into words. Muchas gracias ❤🩹
@@kimgustafsson8115 your comment warms my heart, thank you so much for watching and commenting on my humble little reaction video! Muchas gracias a ti ❤
So interesting to hear about the way the song & visuals combine Mexican wrestling with cha cha cha dance. Thank you for the explanation. Definitely the song that's bringing excitement to this year's Eurovision.
This was a great reacting - specially from man, who belongs the latin culture! I'm so glad you found this song a way that respects your culture aspects, because that is the way it does! Latin dances are one of the most respected dances in here Finland, and I think that is the one reason why Käärijä choose cha cha cha. ❤️
I think everybody loves Käärijä here in Finland just because of this track... But they don't know his other tracks, which have these drum n bass and dubstep beats and rapping. My favorites is Yhtä vailla, klo 23, viulunkieli or hirttää kiinni. Ofcourse they are in finnish but...
This song might totally revive nightlife after COVID.. The song is about the shy nature of the people in Finland, and they need some pina coladas to get loose.. and partyyyyyyyy. 🎉
I didn't know about the outfit but now it makes sense cause he's in a wrestling area in the lyric video! Also if you wanna know the translation go watch the lyric video and there's English subtitles :))
Me as a German I love this and I hope it Wins...we need this kind of energy...I am so happy that we have our entry with a different kind of positive energy... Maybe you can watch Lord of the Lost with their winner song 'Blood and Glitter'...
I did! Unfortunately I seem to have been too vocal on my reaction about how I wasn't too fond of their song because LOTL fans have been shredding me to pieces.
@@juan.espejo I mean I don't know what you said or how you phrased your opinion..but I hate how people can not accept that not everybody has to like it... Everybody got different taste....tho I do think..that even if your not a fan of that sort of music, a human can still appreciate the work that an artist did. I don't like Schlager at all..but still sometimes there are songs and artist which I admire for their creativity and work...doesn't mean I have to like the song or artist.

Many people, including me, have wondered about the green garment. The best I could make of it was some kind of a modern version of a Spanish bullfighter's bolero with influences from Hulk. Thank you for recognising it as a Mexican wrestling garment, now it makes more sense, since in the lyric video he was wrestling and boxing. In the live show he has understandably left wrestling to the possessed cha cha dancers, but still wearing the same garment, which is nice. I actually preferred the trousers he was wearing in the video, though.
I have no complaints about his outfit, but I wish he would use an actual boxing ring instead of the wooden structure to give his performance more of a wrestling atmosphere, what do you think?
@Juan the stageing is genius if you understand that in finland these are called EUR pallets. The finnish word for pallet is the same as the word for stage. So basically he is performing on the EUR stage.
Well the jacket ,,after a LOTof thinking.... has only led me to SCRECK!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I can honestly not believe I had such a gap in my knowledge,😅😇 so thank you for educating me 🥰 Now I worry, what if I have more black holes 😜🤭😅😅😅😅🤣 Nice that I have to skip to Mexican wrestling now for I don't know how many days 😖😖😖
Not a latino flavour. At all. Its Finnish tango.pure Finnish and romani style. Mixed with Swedish stage producers.. Nothing to do with southern America. Sorry bro.. Check it up. No cultural appropriation. Just finnish/mixed with Swedish.
Luckily the negative comments you leave in every Cha cha cha reaction video only give these videos more views and makes them more viral, because of all the engagement. Good job my friend! 😆
@@misssargasm286 It's alright everyone having their opinions. And the most artistic songs and performances always split those, in both good and bad, some love it some hate it... Which just means it is true masterpiece!
@@njeila But it would not be a difficult thing to do to say "pinja" instead of "pina". Spanish, like Finnish, has consistent pronunciation rules and even though our language doesn't have ñ, it's easy to pronounce piña even in the middle of a Finnish sentence. Even if our language doesn't have letters like ñ or ß or œ, a lot of people still know them.
No se si es Hulk cantando un cha cha cha, todo un batiburrillo 😓 no me gusta nada. Me parece algo totalmente sin ningún gusto. Lo siento. Vaya fricada. Prefiero Finlandia del año pasado.
¡Finlandia el año pasado me dejó frío, sin ni una pizca de entusiasmo! La canción en sí no me gustaba mucho, y luego con el staging inspirado en el payaso It me gustó incluso menos...
@@juan.espejo jaja 😄😄 a mi me pasó al revés, me gustó la canción, pero al verlo con el globo agarrado me causo un trauma 🙄😬😓😅 aún a día de hoy, no me lo quito de la cabeza. Pero este año, esta canción, me parece una fricada. Me gusta que otros países incluyan y se inspiren de ritmos latinos pero esto es un chiste y de mal gusto. Unas bailarinas solamente vestidas de Cha cha cha y un cantante que parece Hulk, unos ritmos que no son para nada tiene que ver con el título de la canción. Es más ofensivo que otra cosa, de mal gusto. No me gusta nada. Aquí en España preocupados que el Arte genuino de Blanca no se pueda llegar a entender, y sale un candidato Finlandés, disfrazado de Hulk haciendo el payaso y llevándose todo el televoto finlandés y probablemente también en de Europa al que solo le gusta, payasadas así, de poco gusto. Que triste. 🙄😓 Desde pequeño siempre he visto Eurovisión en casa, como algo emocionante, donde España, parece que nunca le han tomado en cuenta, ni siquiera con Chanel una clara ganadora el año pasado. Lo tuvo todo, voz, y sin quebrar, entretenimiento y una puesta en escenario mejorada aún más a último momento, como fue conocido como el chanelazo, todo un nuevo giro y mejora. Aquellos jurados que eliminaron sus votos de los cuales hubiesen dado a España al menos como segundo candidato y el cambio de Ucrania de un tema que fue elegido y que ellos mismos cancelaron para poner otro político que llegase a todos. Es algo político por más que digan que no lo es. Muy decepcionante. Y este año, ves algo así, y ya te planteas, si gana, no volver a ver más Eurovision. Pues para mí se ha convertido más en Trushvision que otra cosa. 🙄😓 Que triste.
@@zangangi para mí el punto más bajo de Eurovisión fue en la década de los 2000, cuando no habían jurados y la calidad disminuyó drásticamente porque se enfocaban en el televoto versus el arte de hacer una buena canción. En ese sentido, esta canción me recuerda a esa época de los 2000, pero tiene algo tan adictivo que no puedo explicar... es como "Uno" de Rusia en 2020: sabías que no era una obra maestra pero daban ganas de escucharla una y otra vez. Sobre España no siendo apreciada: creo que a veces es así. Por ejemplo, fue una ofensa que la "La Venda" terminara dentro de las últimas posiciones, pero no vamos a decir que han enviado alta calidad cada año. Chanel recibió el reconocimiento que merecía; ha pasado un año y seguimos hablando de ella. Creo que Blanca Paloma también dará mucho que hablar, y veamos si Europa la apreciará.
@@juan.espejo me gustó ucrania año 2007 que quedaron los segundos creo recordar, y aunque fuese algo poco común. Trajeron algo que además de divertido, entraba bien en un ritmo que traía al baile y disfrutable. En España hubo unos años ahí también con Ruth Lorenzo y sobre todo Pastora Soler con una voz increíble, lo clavo, que obtuvo décimo lugar, en esa época fueron las más destacables. Artísticamente hablando. Una cosa curiosa es la votaciones de países que suelen votar cada año por su país vecino. Pero con Chanel el año pasado el jurado Italiano no otorgó ni un solo punto a España. Algo sorprendente dado los 12 puntos obtenidos por España de estos países Portugal, Macedonia del Norte, Malta, San Marino, Armenia, Irlanda, Suecia y Australia. Lo cual lleva a pensar que la música y el buen hacer, no lidio con esos "favoritismos" que países del norte reflejan en sus votaciones cada sño. El año pasado fue excepcional, y todos nos sentimos emocionados con Chanel, su actuación y de latinos reacción por todo el mundo. Que emoción fue, sentirnos todos tan bien representados, y unidos. Fue hermoso. Este año preocupa, que no se entienda el mensaje, pero otros pensamos que una buena actuación y voz con algo tan nuestro, culturalmente hablando, es algo para regalar al mundo y dar más a conocer. No se, igual este año tampoco ganemos. Pero artísticamente como Chanel año pasado, es una victoria ya de por si. Y por otra parte, es frustrante ver candidaturas así, que a mi juicio, tan sosas en ejecución, y que toman algo conocido y más bien parece una comparsa de carnaval en plan humorístico otra cosa, pero tomado a guasa, y no con una forma algún modo respetable, solo como burla. No me gusta la entrada de Finlandia este año, Nada.🙄😓
@@zangangi en mi humilde opinión, a menudo España se tropieza con la misma piedra: la balada en español. Canciones técnicamente bien hechas, bien interpretadas, pero que desde la perspectiva de un espectador que tiene que ver 25-26 interpretaciones no le genera nada. No creo que vaya a ser el caso este año con "Eaea" porque es memorable y entretenida, pero creo que Agoney era la mejor oportunidad para mantenerse dentro del top 5. ¡Dale una oportunidad a Finlandia! A mí me ha alegrado el día.

Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This exhausting week and the many long days are behind
There's only bar and piña colada on my mind
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
[Chorus]
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like a
[Verse 2]
A couple piña coladas I have devoured
Yet the expression I have on my face is sour
Yeah, yeah, ye, ye, yeah
There is some time for a few, the night is still youngish
This icy shell is something I have to demolish
The floor is calling me when I'm no longer so frozen
Like a cha cha cha I am approachin'
[Chorus]
Holding on the drinks with both hands tied on them like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
There's no tomorrow when I grab a pint tightly like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
Wanna mess my head up and to free my mind of fear like a
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, no
And I stay on this seat until I have to climb off it like, woah

[Post-Chorus]
I head towards dance floor
Like a cha, cha, cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha, cha, cha
When champagne all over myself I pour
[Bridge]
Cha, cha, cha, one eye keeps turning crossed too far
And talking is so hard when this different side of me does its part
Cha, cha, cha, I don't usually go and drop my guard, not me
But now I am that guy, now I am that guy
[Post-Chorus]
I head towards dance floor
Like a cha, cha, cha
And this world ain't making me scared no more
Like a cha, cha, cha
When champagne all over myself I pour
Like a cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, aa-aah
Like a cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha

”Oooh that tong” WHAT A MOOD
Mulla samanlainen liike... 😋😋
🥵
Loved your reaction❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Many people, including me, have wondered about the green garment. The best I could make of it was some kind of a modern version of a Spanish bullfighter's bolero with influences from Hulk. Thank you for recognising it as a Mexican wrestling garment, now it makes more sense, since in the lyric video he was wrestling and boxing. In the live show he has understandably left wrestling to the possessed cha cha dancers, but still wearing the same garment, which is nice. I actually preferred the trousers he was wearing in the video, though.
I have no complaints about his outfit, but I wish he would use an actual boxing ring instead of the wooden structure to give his performance more of a wrestling atmosphere, what do you think?
@Juan the stageing is genius if you understand that in finland these are called EUR pallets. The finnish word for pallet is the same as the word for stage. So basically he is performing on the EUR stage.
@@JadedKate I don't know... is a pun worth the risk?
Well the jacket ,,after a LOTof thinking.... has only led me to SCRECK!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I can honestly not believe I had such a gap in my knowledge,😅😇 so thank you for educating me 🥰 Now I worry, what if I have more black holes 😜🤭😅😅😅😅🤣 Nice that I have to skip to Mexican wrestling now for I don't know how many days 😖😖😖
Everyone is like 'woop woop, so good' but when the competition happens, nobody gives points.
Mark my words: this won't be the case.
Chek the UMK version.
It has english subtitles
Where are your from? You are super cute.
My house 👀
Kiitos ihanista kommenteista Juan 🥰
Se on niin suloinen sinusta, kiitos! ❤
@@juan.espejo 😍
I'd like but ur numbers are good
Not a latino flavour. At all. Its Finnish tango.pure Finnish and romani style. Mixed with Swedish stage producers.. Nothing to do with southern America. Sorry bro.. Check it up. No cultural appropriation. Just finnish/mixed with Swedish.
4:50 also couple of cold ones and maybe piña colada's helps
well pronounced käärijä!
Torille?
i love :P funny
You latino?
Sí :)
❤❤❤
Sorry, I don't like song.
Luckily the negative comments you leave in every Cha cha cha reaction video only give these videos more views and makes them more viral, because of all the engagement. Good job my friend! 😆
@@misssargasm286 It's alright everyone having their opinions. And the most artistic songs and performances always split those, in both good and bad, some love it some hate it... Which just means it is true masterpiece!
I only wish he would pronounce piña and not pina...
The official lyrics music video has English subs available. ^^
🍍
(thanks for the heads up about the lyrics)
I think he says pina, cause we finns like to pronounce things how they are written and letter ñ does not exist in oir alphabet
@@njeila But it would not be a difficult thing to do to say "pinja" instead of "pina". Spanish, like Finnish, has consistent pronunciation rules and even though our language doesn't have ñ, it's easy to pronounce piña even in the middle of a Finnish sentence. Even if our language doesn't have letters like ñ or ß or œ, a lot of people still know them.
@@Silveirias but as i said, i think he says like that because thats how finns usually pronounce it
@@njeila Probably, although personally, I don't know anyone who doesn't know how to pronounce piña colada.
No se si es Hulk cantando un cha cha cha, todo un batiburrillo 😓 no me gusta nada. Me parece algo totalmente sin ningún gusto. Lo siento. Vaya fricada. Prefiero Finlandia del año pasado.
¡Finlandia el año pasado me dejó frío, sin ni una pizca de entusiasmo! La canción en sí no me gustaba mucho, y luego con el staging inspirado en el payaso It me gustó incluso menos...
@@juan.espejo jaja 😄😄 a mi me pasó al revés, me gustó la canción, pero al verlo con el globo agarrado me causo un trauma 🙄😬😓😅 aún a día de hoy, no me lo quito de la cabeza. Pero este año, esta canción, me parece una fricada. Me gusta que otros países incluyan y se inspiren de ritmos latinos pero esto es un chiste y de mal gusto. Unas bailarinas solamente vestidas de Cha cha cha y un cantante que parece Hulk, unos ritmos que no son para nada tiene que ver con el título de la canción. Es más ofensivo que otra cosa, de mal gusto. No me gusta nada. Aquí en España preocupados que el Arte genuino de Blanca no se pueda llegar a entender, y sale un candidato Finlandés, disfrazado de Hulk haciendo el payaso y llevándose todo el televoto finlandés y probablemente también en de Europa al que solo le gusta, payasadas así, de poco gusto. Que triste. 🙄😓 Desde pequeño siempre he visto Eurovisión en casa, como algo emocionante, donde España, parece que nunca le han tomado en cuenta, ni siquiera con Chanel una clara ganadora el año pasado. Lo tuvo todo, voz, y sin quebrar, entretenimiento y una puesta en escenario mejorada aún más a último momento, como fue conocido como el chanelazo, todo un nuevo giro y mejora. Aquellos jurados que eliminaron sus votos de los cuales hubiesen dado a España al menos como segundo candidato y el cambio de Ucrania de un tema que fue elegido y que ellos mismos cancelaron para poner otro político que llegase a todos. Es algo político por más que digan que no lo es. Muy decepcionante. Y este año, ves algo así, y ya te planteas, si gana, no volver a ver más Eurovision. Pues para mí se ha convertido más en Trushvision que otra cosa. 🙄😓 Que triste.
@@zangangi para mí el punto más bajo de Eurovisión fue en la década de los 2000, cuando no habían jurados y la calidad disminuyó drásticamente porque se enfocaban en el televoto versus el arte de hacer una buena canción. En ese sentido, esta canción me recuerda a esa época de los 2000, pero tiene algo tan adictivo que no puedo explicar... es como "Uno" de Rusia en 2020: sabías que no era una obra maestra pero daban ganas de escucharla una y otra vez.
Sobre España no siendo apreciada: creo que a veces es así. Por ejemplo, fue una ofensa que la "La Venda" terminara dentro de las últimas posiciones, pero no vamos a decir que han enviado alta calidad cada año. Chanel recibió el reconocimiento que merecía; ha pasado un año y seguimos hablando de ella. Creo que Blanca Paloma también dará mucho que hablar, y veamos si Europa la apreciará.
@@juan.espejo me gustó ucrania año 2007 que quedaron los segundos creo recordar, y aunque fuese algo poco común. Trajeron algo que además de divertido, entraba bien en un ritmo que traía al baile y disfrutable. En España hubo unos años ahí también con Ruth Lorenzo y sobre todo Pastora Soler con una voz increíble, lo clavo, que obtuvo décimo lugar, en esa época fueron las más destacables. Artísticamente hablando. Una cosa curiosa es la votaciones de países que suelen votar cada año por su país vecino. Pero con Chanel el año pasado el jurado Italiano no otorgó ni un solo punto a España. Algo sorprendente dado los 12 puntos obtenidos por España de estos países Portugal, Macedonia del Norte, Malta, San Marino, Armenia, Irlanda, Suecia y Australia. Lo cual lleva a pensar que la música y el buen hacer, no lidio con esos "favoritismos" que países del norte reflejan en sus votaciones cada sño. El año pasado fue excepcional, y todos nos sentimos emocionados con Chanel, su actuación y de latinos reacción por todo el mundo. Que emoción fue, sentirnos todos tan bien representados, y unidos. Fue hermoso. Este año preocupa, que no se entienda el mensaje, pero otros pensamos que una buena actuación y voz con algo tan nuestro, culturalmente hablando, es algo para regalar al mundo y dar más a conocer. No se, igual este año tampoco ganemos. Pero artísticamente como Chanel año pasado, es una victoria ya de por si. Y por otra parte, es frustrante ver candidaturas así, que a mi juicio, tan sosas en ejecución, y que toman algo conocido y más bien parece una comparsa de carnaval en plan humorístico otra cosa, pero tomado a guasa, y no con una forma algún modo respetable, solo como burla. No me gusta la entrada de Finlandia este año, Nada.🙄😓
@@zangangi en mi humilde opinión, a menudo España se tropieza con la misma piedra: la balada en español. Canciones técnicamente bien hechas, bien interpretadas, pero que desde la perspectiva de un espectador que tiene que ver 25-26 interpretaciones no le genera nada. No creo que vaya a ser el caso este año con "Eaea" porque es memorable y entretenida, pero creo que Agoney era la mejor oportunidad para mantenerse dentro del top 5.
¡Dale una oportunidad a Finlandia! A mí me ha alegrado el día.
