Perfect Eurovision song. National language, little freak show, meaningfull liric, catchy as hell....
This was such a good entry I can't think of even one more thing to improve beside his vocal performance
@@virana999 Bruh he was jumping around and dancing. The vocals need nothing. It's fine if his voice was a little shakey when he did jumped, but thats how vocals work 💀
Yeah. Feel like the winner, Loreen, was in a completely wrong competition entirely.
Käärijä made this song to underline the fact that you don't need to be drunk out of your mind just to dance and like it. He is the best example himself, he doesn't really drink but he still has a lot of fun and wears his heart in his sleeve. He also designed the staging and the whole performance himself. He has also designed the stage show to Eurovision.
He is very campy, very creative and an amazing performer. And almost nobody in Finland knew him before UMK. Now very few doesn't.
I think the meaning of the song and the official videoclip is deeper than that.
He had problems with alcohol some years ago, and I think he has a battle with himself in that video where finally alcohol wins, that addictive part of him, represented with the blonde wig and the change in the song, more pop. In the fight, truly Käärijä takes all the hits. Truly Käärijä is the electronic-metal- rap part of the song
I think he's a genius 💚 and I hope he wins Eurovision this year.
As a Swede, have to say I just love this. I know we sent Loreen, but I would absolutely not be unhappy if Finland wins this year. This is awesome!
"He wears his heart in his sleeve" so that's why he has such big sleeves!
Im not sure if he did that show himself, heard it was another guy
The song is about social anxiety and getting rid of it . From metal to edm - the lyrics and the music change simultaneously - genius 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
It's a story fitting with many Nordic people. Shy and closed during the week, and letting loose and going nuts when the drinking begins. 😅
Yes, by getting drunk.. it's a drinking song
Its not a song even.....😢😢😢😢shame of ESC
@@Addict2FX You are so wrong I’m sorry. The pina colada and champagne are just metaphors for being open minded or feeling free of who you are, no alcohol necessary! One have to read more than the text and think what's behind it. Is it literal or it is ironical or satirical? In this case it is metaphorical about social anxiety. Millions of people suffer from it. This is empowerment song for those who suffer it.
@@lilianac4728 ? How an earth you can say that? It has got notes, melody, rhythms. What makes you think it’s not a song? And good for the ESC to progress and not to stay the same. We are living in a world that doesn’t stop evolving and developing. Music and the lyrics must follow the pace of the people’s change and everyday life, reflect the realities.
This song is about social anxiety. Millions of people suffer from it. This is empowerment song for those who suffer it. The music and the lyrics in this song go hand to hand in the story and in the progress of the person to be free from the anxiety and be authentic him/her.
It's not Finland anymore. It's FUNland for now. It's Crazy, It's party!💚🥳
He's energy so know
Potential winner 🇫🇮🇫🇮💚
100% ❤
My winner for sure!
It is. 🎉
Sadly loreen will probably win
Winland 😄🤩👍💚 Cha cha champion 💚💚👍🤩💚💚
“Cha Cha Cha” is awesome 👏🏼. The more you understand the lyrics (you can find a subtitled version) and the staging, you will see how it refers to him wanting to go out, and to not be so reserved (as many Finns are), so resorting to alcohol (the song references piña coladas) to get rid of his inhibitions and enabling him to dance.
The sudden change in the tone of the song from techno EDM to pop (it’s like going from Front 242 to Aqua’s “Barbie Girl”!) two thirds of the way through the song, represents him coming out of his shell, as simultaneously the banking dancers pull away the physical barriers on the stage, which again are representative of his mental fears and feelings of unworthiness. They and their aggressive dancing and scary teeth also represent his fears about socialising.
And he manages to do all that in just three minutes! So my “douze points” are definitely going to Käärijä.
My favourite entries this year in #ESC are:
🥇 Finland 🇫🇮
🥈 Austria 🇦🇹
🥉 Spain 🇪🇸
4️⃣ Sweden 🇸🇪
5️⃣ France 🇫🇷
Finland is a shame for all musicians...
Take Finland off..its a disaster😢😢😢
@@lilianac4728 your reaction shows how much you know about music 😏
@@lilianac4728 you just have the wrong opinion
@@lilianac4728 Jesus you are seething, commenting on multiple different videos about this artist.
This performance is unique! And this guy is amazing, charismatic, provocative and funny at the same time.
Like a twister on the stage.
My favorite this year 💚🇫🇮
I hope Finland will win 2023. Käärijä is iconic! ✌️🧶😊🧶👍 Cha Cha Cha is what we need! Its post pandemic anthem! My winner! ❤🇫🇮
Exactly right, post pandemic anthem!
Well.. 😢
@@youtubewontletme The voting system needs to change so that the "expert" jury panel is cancelled. Let the viewers and fans choose.
@@kristianhelenius1756 If the viewers chose then some of the worst songs could win, and some song which are actually good would be rated lower.
Kääriä is out of this world. Not my cup of tea, at all.
But I can't help it.
I can not turn my eyes away and right leg starts beating and when I force it stop - head starts nodding!
Cha, cha, ch-ch-ch-chaaa! 🤘
I relate completely to what you wrote
Yes, a piece of shit but it tastes so good :)
The most joyful performance of the year, this deserves to win :)
Finland won the audience/viewers votes by a far margin. The peoples choice and in everybodys minds the true winner of the ESC2023, weeeee 😍🥰
Not in Everybodys mind. For us that know the rules Loreen is the true winner, as she is and it seems like you forgot that she also got a good amount of televotes, second highest. Loreen is the winner and its sad that you are trying to spread that she is not..
@@Dsdsds346 Well she did win the jurys vote, You´re absolutely correct about that. The Jury is a few houndred people compared to the massive millions of viewers. The viewers selected Finland as their winner and that fact stands on its own ;-)
@@janthomassrensen1065 still she got second highest televotes and that dont make ”everybody” think he won 🤷🏽♀️
@@Dsdsds346Second highest for sure, but by a huge gap to the telewinner Käärijä. Plus the fact that Käärijä got 18 times full 12 points while Loreen did not receive full points from any country, makes me believe there was indeed a landslide of votes for Käärijä. And this is why people are angry about the results. They did not get to decide by voting. And at the same time 200 "professionals" decide the Swedish act is so superior to others that it deserves 163 points more than the second one. I mean come on.. The juries are a joke and I really hope EBU will make some big changes with the voting system next year.
@@sarzik2896 You want them to change because YOU are not happy? Sounds like a sore loser in my books.
I love it so much!! Love how it talks about male anxiety when going out/ needing a drink to lower inhibitions and let go, but deciding to have fun while sober anyway, but I also adore how you can just vibe and have fun with it as well!!
You got it right! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I hope Finland win. Singing in gorgeous Finnish and being creative.CHA CHA CHA 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
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, aha
Like a cha, cha, cha
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha
Also the set was built out of Euro pallets, which in is Finnish 'eurolava', aka 'euro stage'
Isn’t it genius!!
The smiles; the dancers are wearing large false teeth, to accentuate the idea of being manically positive and up.
Also, a great aspect of Finish culture is that Latin dance is enormously popular in Finland. This really must win I think.
Brunette from Armenia is also great, but strangely not high in the betting odds… Go Finland ❤
Great reaction to this cool performance 💃💃💃
This is the best and most interesting Eurovision song I have ever heard. Weird as fuck.
The Winner! 🙌💚
The green bolero is the first stage of transformation. He is tethered to the dancers because they are the him he wants to be .. but he is initially locked up by his own inhibitions. He is keeping himself in check. But unlocked by Piña Colada he gets up on the dancefloor. He can't dance at all but he is transformed and in the end his dancers become a caterpillar and do his version of the cha cha cha. I think butterflies (aka flutter bys) will fill the stage in Liverpool. The final transformation from green larvae to pink caterpillar to magnificent multicoloured butterflies. My theory at least.
beautiful explanation 🤍. I hope to see smth like too :))
Omg you were so right with this. The rainbow lights on the grand final performance that filled the room! Spot on! 🎉
The lyric video of this song has English subtitles available.
Greeting from Finland. This performance is grazy but I love it!
Who the hell thinks "lets make a song about getting drunk on Pinacolada and champagne, and go to the eurovision" is a smart thing? ONLY IN FINLAND :P What a song this is. absolutely amazing!
It's not actually about that, but about how the finnish state of being is shy and introverted, and like many finns, when weekend comes they use alcohol to mellow their guarded exterior to be able to be true to themselves, break out and have fun.
@@xFukairix i was in the army at the finnish border up north in Norway and I can double down on that statement about the finnish drinking culture 😂
It’s crazy, it’s party!! 💚💃💚💃
Thanks for your reaction from🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Utterly adore this, My winner. and 2nd in the betting after Loreen. Check out Serbia and Latvia!
Finland should have won, they won the public vote 🎉❤😊
He usually performs shirtless but they added those sleeves, green bolero to soften the blow In order to be so macho
Its a different, kinda weird and fun feelgood song if dont know the lyrics but if you know them, it makes a lot of sense especially if you know the nordic mindset. This truly is about a typical finn with anxieties about people and life and wanting to be freed of them.
Mental problems is the curse of Finns. Happiest country in the world? No. We just dont need much to be okay. Nobody in Finland knows where those statistics are digged from.
I’m proud to be Finnish!
What a power!! Super Finland
Käärijä is magical artist, o
In Finland we call these kind of excentric folk trance beat artists "intomies". You should listen something like "Texas faggots" that you would know what i mean xD
You should listen to his semi final performance, people went crazy!
Best from Finland EVER 🎉🎉🎉
Best Act since years !
This song is so addictive
gosh, I ♥your Eurovision reaction videos .......and that is the reason, why I will subscribe to your chanel. Greetings from Germany to you guys. Eurovision is THE THING to react to.
12 points from Norway🇳🇴❤🇫🇮
We know this shit;Staysman is our Norwegian dope. I am sure he would want to do this Like legit.
lol the wildest thing is how much this song has grown on me. I didn't love it at first listen. I just thought okay that's not bad. 2nd listen - okay this is pretty good. 3rd listen - HEY YA'LL EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS
Finally, great video 🤘
I love that you rewind after talking, and you both are so open-minded and respectful in every video👍
There is this scandinavien music form, played at clubs mostly called "fjortis dunk" Wich is absolutley what he is doing in the end, its why it sounds like a new sound of techno, but its been done for years.
I really love this song and the performance. They should've won❤
Thank you for this great reaction! 💚💕💕
For me, the tether represents his relationsship to alcohol (the dancers). He first controls it but then after drinking a few Pina Coladas the alcohol breaks free and he becomes "another man". Stereotypical finnish man -story really. What a great performance! ❤
Kääriä win eurovision 2023 greetings from finland🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Paras käännös tähän mennessä!
@@MsUnited97 kiitos... Joo oli vaikee kääntää... Toivottavasti meni oikein...
@@Kennethgranqvist kyllä tuosta huomaa, ettei se ole koulun käännösläksy vaan mukana on ymmärrys kielestä.
@@MsUnited97 juu ulkomailla ollut.. Ja tääl youtube niil paljon katsonut, kuunellut.. Oppinut paremmin miten sanotaan... Yms.... Vaik koulussa enkku oli 6 🤣
Kiitos. I love it, although I listen to singer/ songwriter a lot.
Yes guys, dance the CHA CHA CHA!😄
Love from Finland~
You guys are sooo cool 😊
Käärijä is dope as shit.
The teathers on the dancers represent the boxing ring cords.
I must add this category also >>> Suomisaundi (also known as suomisoundi, suomistyge or spugedelic trance) that is Freeform psytrance, is an alias to a psytrance style, which is produced especially in Finland, from where it is also originated from.
It was interesting to see the actual performance in Liverpool. The colours helped in the huge arena made it stand out.
The cultural element is the very Nordic experience of going out on a Friday night and needing to get blasted before dancing. Finns are very shy and emotionally reticent but after drinking often come out of their shell.
The tethers or silk bands come from the original video in which the performance was in a boxing ring so they represent those ropes.
Tampere Finland 2024! ❤
We love our coolest Interviewer and Singer...if he wins or not...he will be a Legend already! I saw many songs with subtitles.
It's Crazy, It's Party
Stunning!!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Espectacular 🎉 mucho dolor por no ganar eurovision, saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
🇫🇮🔥🔥💃🏿💃🏿🕺💃🏿💃🏿⭐️🔥🔥❤️🏆🥇🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
The jacket is called Bolero sweethearts :D
That kick's A's! 💪
Subtitles are available in the official UMK video (the one with the boxing ring)
All love from Finland 🇫🇮🥰
👍a bold choice, presentation in Finnish language !
Its a swedish dancer, Benke (very good) that made the dance for Kärijä 👘🐸🤸
Best regards 🇸🇪
There is official pre video with English subtitles if you want to Watch,
The chareografy so similar with 2003 winner “sertap erener” but this beat is amazing
💚❤️🕺🏻💃🎶👏🏻👍🏻🇫🇮
CHA CHA CHA
I think the official video has subtitles!
This jacket type that is basically just sleeves, is called a bolero.
I've been watching you react to kpop for such a long time and as an European I love to see you react to Eurovision as well!!! ❤
💚🔥🔥🕺🔥🔥🔥💚💚
12 points from lreland
its pretty cool
Loved the name pronunciation 🤣
The true winner.
About male social anxiety and being out drinking, not wanting to let go to dance or anything, but at the end giving in and just having fun and going for it.
More so about having social anxiety, getting drunk and finally having the courage to do whatever.
I like how many different pronounciations of Käärijä I have heard during the past months and I say this kindly but none of those dozens of trys has gone right 😆 its said very differently than how people in other countries try to say it
Yes really crazy song but he is funny
It's time to käärijä
OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS REACTED TO KÄÄRIJÄ????!!! TORILLE😭😭😭💅
You're a winner, baby
Remember so much The Prodigy
💚💚💚💚💚🇫🇮
it´s friggin´ KÄÄRIJÄ!
❤️
1:08 "Whenever you think of Cha Cha Cha, you obviously think of like Cha Cha Slide." as opposed to, you know, Cha Cha Cha? The dance?? Wouldn't that be what you think of first??
It's Kaalimato (on his arms)
The green half jacket is called a bolero
The official music video of this song has subtitles with the TH-cam CC button (or keyboard "C"): th-cam.com/video/znWi3zN8Ucg/w-d-xo.html
Poland 12 points :P my winner
"Ka-ar-ga". As a Finn I laughed so hard at that. 😂
Best thing out of Finland since Darude.
Let Out control
you should react to jaans (not used) performance because you might enjoy his range of piches and i'd love your opinion..
😂Hi there is eng subtitles🎉🎉🎉
In case y'all missed it, the song is a piss-take - about a guy wanting a beer at the bar, but anxious, while everything's about ripping the piss out of ballroom dancing -the super white teeth, super cheesy smiling etc -including his own rubber costume. The cha-cha is a ballroom dance btw. Loved the human centipede segment.
You should do Croatia Let3 with Mama ŠČ
