This was personally my fave from the start. A lot of people were gonna vote for a Sara Siipola, but when people saw this they decided Finland wants to have fun. We don’t care, no rules! 😂
Windows95man nailed their live performance, Siipola did not. That's really what it came down to. Tons of people said they had a different favorite before the live performances, but their favorites just didn't bring it as hard as these guys.
@@ristoravela652 Yes! My favorite was first Sini Sabotage but she failed too on her performance when these guys just made me laugh! This has been growing on me more even since.
@@elinahamalainen5867 same! I was so excited about Sini's video of Kuori mua, but the live performance was a hot mess, poor lighting, horrible outfit, too much stuff taking away the focus from singing. Mania was great as a song too, but I didn't like the staging. Ended up dividing the votes between several of them in the "die is cast" spirit 🤷♀️ W95man had the best live, it's fun, catchy and weird 👌😄
I am a Finn and I'm just super proud that we send a song which actually was at jumbo place on jury votes but crushed its way to victory through televoting! I have had a talk with several of my friends and they are just damn excited and agitated that we do not care about some big wig jury but the normal audience.
Windows95man is Teemu Keisteri's character he uses when performing as a DJ. He is a multitalented and well established artist, but cannot sing, so that is why he teamed up with the singer, Henri Piispanen for this entry. It is their first single together. Never was a favourite to win, but after people saw the live performance, everything changed.
And also the singer is his producer and did NOT want to sing in umk or esc! They just never got anyone to replace him before sending in the demo for the competition. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Windows95man is a superhero who is born "naked" from a denim egg. After refusing to be dictated to by others (that woman with the papers), our hero gets the magic pants and shines in doing things his own way. This is how I understood the story. 😁 (That egg is related to the Kalevala and the jeans are of course related to the 90s)
Thank you for your reaction ❤ I was at the UMK final at Nokia Arena. I was sure that Sara would win, but then a man and an egg came and the rest is history. We laughed, we danced and we sang. This show really won everyone's hearts 🥰
W95M is a dj. This is his first own single. He has not been very famous before this amazing banger. I'm a Finn and very happy that W95M presents us this year. Winner or looser, no matter because: NO RULES 🥳🤟💥
Hello from Finland, I ADORE this entry! It's ingenious and so much fun! Also Henri's vocals give me life 😍 Glad to come across more people that love it as much as I do!
It's been a very polarizing song in Finland. Some people simply hate it and feel like it's an embarrassing joke. But similar things were said about Lordi back in the day... Personally, I love the song for the nostalgic 90's trashy eurodance vibe and the entire core tenet of "no rules". It carries such a powerful message, and I hope it brings joy and confidence to anyone feeling like an outsider or searching for their place in the world. And the performance itself is something that requires a lot of planning, skill, courage and dedication. Yes, it's funny. But making funny things well is hard work.
This was my favourite song before the live and I loved it even more after the live performance. I was so happily surprised that it won and is representing us. Thanks for the great reaction!
I was not planning to vote this but when I saw the live performance something happened in my brain in that moment. It was such a fun performance and made me laugh.And the song itself is very catchy, a banger like you said. Vocals are surprisingly good also.
As Finn this wasn't my favourite before UMK but their live show was so awesome that now I'm proud that'we're sending this to ESC. And this is banger, it has been in my head the whole day 😊
I actually liked the song before the live already 😅 the 90's eurodance vibe 🔥 also the live show was making people laugh out loud, which we all need in this world 💚 The actual artist Windows95 man is the guy that came from the egg in the beginning. He is a visual artist and has been a dj for a decade. This is his first own song. The vocalist is Henri Piispanen, a Finnish voice actor (for example in Paw patrol's Finnish dub). He was asked to sing the working vocals for the raw version, but they had no tiem to find the final vocalist, so he ended up going to UMK with W95 man 😂 and now apparently to ESC to perform for 200M people 🤣
As a finn, I did not know who to vote before live acts. I ended up vote this one since it was best live version. Windows95 man is not famous, just basic DJ and visual artist. The vocalist is Henri Piispanen, voice actor for kids programs. ( etc. Pawpatrol )
I voted them. I just love the upbeat energy and graziness. Also I love Teemus visual art and Henri is a professional singer, he has had his own band several years.
I just found that comment under another video and I think it helps a lot to understand the wonderful craziness which you just witnessed. 😄 "This song is an anthem for being who you are 🎉🎊 Love the message and also how it combines the Finnish Kalevala where the world is created from the eagles’ egg, In the stage performance the singer Henri represents the eagle (see the similarity of the movements and the clothing) and the Windows95man is born (as all humans) naked only wearing Kalevala inspired boots. The stage coordinator tries in the middle of the song give the rules to our hero but he puts the instructions flying in the air. He wants to be free and who he is despite what the others try him to be!" Have fun with it 😊
As a Finn, I'm proud as hell that were sending W95m to Eurovision. Even if it ends up not doing well (personally, i think it'll be a top contender), better to go all in with this, than send another boring ballad.
This wasn't initially my favourite from UMK, but the live performance was brilliant, and I'm super happy this song won. I think your analysis was spot on. This is a 50:50 love or hate song, and yes, a little cheesy, but fully on purpose. Windows95man is a DJ and a visual artist, but his audience so far has been quite niche. Henri Piispanen, who is doing the vocals, is a voice actor and singer. And our song this year is a piece of art. ❤
As a Finn I love this. We need something grazy and fun and I love Eurovision when it gives us reason for party. Our guy won't win, but I'm sure that he will make huge amount of people to smile and that's important
Finland has always embraced 90s EDM almost as much as metal/hard rock. The most popular radio program(s) in friday evenings prime time has for years now been 90s EDM. I guess EDM just as rock/metal brings out our true form, as we and our culture are so extremely cool, calm and subdued otherwise. As mostly quite genuine down to earth people many of us also embrace with irony the geeky/childlike side of ourselves with confidence. This self irony combined with relative safety and good social safety net offered by society/goverment, are probably big part what makes Finland the happiest country in the world. "why light up your denim shorts?" is not the right question - "why not?" is.. that's the whole point.
Finno-Ugric mythology In the Finnish national epic, Kalevala, the world is born from the egg of the goldeneye bird. For the first time in the Eurovision-song, clothes are put on, not taken off. 👍🏻🇫🇮
Loved this the first time i heard it when it came out, and couldn't be happier they are going to ESC....and I am from Finland. The staging could change a lot what they will have in Malmö.
This kind of music is popular in Finland. In the summertime young people go to festivals and main thing is to drink a little bit and then they are bouncing up and down together in front of the stage. And we elderly, when we are watching ice hockey and there are brakes in the match they are playing bangers, in every brake, so it is like a cultural for us. Windows95 man was hiding in the egg, its propably related Windows95 OS, Microsoft included their earliest products "hidden Easter eggs". So its a joke 😂😂😂 Greetings from Espoo Finland ! 🇫🇮
I'm a finn and at first it was my least favorite of all contestants. When they won I was like "huh wtf just happened", but it's growing on me and perhaps this world could use some fun and crazy! 😁
He did collab a few years ago with our Finnish equivalent of HM Revenue and Customs to create a theme song called "Epic Tax Party". And if you phone customer service, while you're waiting in queue you're greeted with a calming flute version of the main melodic hook.
I HAVE a Question to You. WHY don't UK EVER send a banger from SCOTLAND. There are great rock bands and vocalists up there. Why you Always send a lame English pop? Aren't You supposed to represent Whole UK not Only the country of England?
No I am not happy as Finnish, more like ashamed. It's a wannabe funny but its not, plain bad. Sorry... of course happy to see people laughing at it but...
Nothing to be ashamed for. Only the most sanitized humour can appeal to *everyone*. It might not be your cup of tea, but it will sure cheer a lot of people up and trigger great nostalgic vibes from their golden years. Enjoy and be proud.
We finns love this 🎉😂❤ 75% televotes for windows95man. Microsoft / Windows publickly has approved to use those logos and appreciates The funny Song. 🙏 Windows95man IS comiq but IT Also has nerdy like me aspect ❤ Winner?

Buuuuuuut also, I give no f*cks what the SeRiOuS people think this year.😉
This was my favourite song before the live and I loved it even more after the live performance. I was so happily surprised that it won and is representing us. Thanks for the great reaction!
I was there in Nokia Areena and it was massive party when this song won the competition. Just love this song, ❤
We did it again!🎉🎉🎉
100%!!
This is his first own song, but he has done for years DJ gig with that character. And singer Henri Piispanen is singer and voice actor.
I was not planning to vote this but when I saw the live performance something happened in my brain in that moment. It was such a fun performance and made me laugh.And the song itself is very catchy, a banger like you said. Vocals are surprisingly good also.
This is his first song he's ever done! That is what I have understood. I love it :) Words are good too
First song as Windows95man. Im pretty sure he has made music with different name/band.
I was watching this live in Nokia Areena Tampere🥰 The best🤗
I'm from Finland and this was my last UNTIL I saw it live! Now all I can sing is NO RULES! 🎉😂❤

this was the best choice from Umk.We are 90 s people here in finland, and of course,humorus ways!
I voted them. I just love the upbeat energy and graziness. Also I love Teemus visual art and Henri is a professional singer, he has had his own band several years.
Käärijä said it last year: It's crazy, it's party!
The outfit has been his thing from the beginning. Those microshorts are iconic for him.
I just found that comment under another video and I think it helps a lot to understand the wonderful craziness which you just witnessed. 😄
"This song is an anthem for being who you are 🎉🎊
Love the message and also how it combines the Finnish Kalevala where the world is created from the eagles’ egg,

I can see the uk giving 12 points.
It's Crazy It's Party
I think like in the Finnish selection, the juries will hate it. But will get huge public support.
Loved this the first time i heard it when it came out, and couldn't be happier they are going to ESC....and I am from Finland. The staging could change a lot what they will have in Malmö.
I looooooove win95man ❤❤❤ this is perfection 🔥
I agree!
You are great❤ I am from Finland❤️
Top song!
It's a fitting beat for ESC ... so far no similar songs in the competition!
absolute banger
