I see that from his tattoo! ❤️❤️ me too!

As the Rammstein symbol on his chest shows 😀 Great performance btw!

Drinking song

Actually the song is about our favourite passtime: drinking.

the song is also about how finnish people just are, we are a shy people and alcohol makes us open up

Probably has happened before 😉

Yes, apparently the cable got stuck in rehearsal in Finland a couple of times, but never in Liverpool. He saw it out of the corner of his eye at the final at the last millisecond

Fantastic! You don't have to be a good singer to write a good song.

His vocal coach did the live backing vocals of "Cha Cha Cha" in Liverpool. She is a vocal couch and an artist in Sibelius Akatemia (Sibelius Academy in English).

thank you ,now i understand the lyrics .I’m a big fan of him 💚💚💚

Thank you so much Jolanda! Actually a lot more background than I thought. Makes me like it even more.

Instead of "fear" I'd put "worries" and instead of "usually" it's more like "during the weekdays"

Thanks.

I hope so!

Thank you!! Then it makes me like it even more

Right?! I was lost for words 😉

Thank you!!

It was already played at a NHL game...

@@Piia2023 And it will be everywhere!

Boten Anna of 2023

I hope so!!! Cha cha cha!!!

There is a different side to the song and it's meaning. Alcoholic beverages are mentioned in the song, but Käärijä (Jere from Vantaa, Finland) had a really bad inflammatory large intestine when he was younger. It worsened when he still partied, drank more alcohol and went to bars. The intestine got so bad, it nearly took his life: doctors gave him two weeks. There is a huge scar on his stomach if you look closely, as a reminder of a life-saving surgery. He had to learn to live without the intestine, and to be careful with alcohol as well. If you interpret the song as a drinking song, it is not. It is about being fearless about who you are, and dance in whichever way you like and when you like. Party like no tomorrow, celebrating life, your friendships. The green bolero has raised a lot of questions, why he wears that. I do think it is just out of fun thing, a crazy idea, but through his fearlessness, there is a deeper meaning to it: being free of judgement what concerns your clothing, your way of life, your way to dance. If you feel like wearing neon green or pink or whatever colour, be free. If some people judge you, let them, it is your life and your style, not theirs. Jere from Vantaa was quite unknown in Finland a few months ago. Suddenly, in just a few weeks after the UMK final, video of his final performance was spreading joy to foreign reactors and he started getting name not only in Finland, but abroad as well. He had done only small club gigs in Finland, mostly around Helsinki (the capitol) area. He had wished to get some more gigs outside Helsinki in more rural Finland, other cities. But those little plans changed a tiny bit. Next stop: Madrid. Then Lithuania. Back to Finland. Bookings to lot bigger arenas in Finland. Featuring on a video with one of the most popular artists in Finland. Two gigs a night or something like that. Next stop: Amsterdam. More gigs and back to Finland. Next stop: London, then Liverpool. After performing to around 20-200 people in his gigs in Finland, I think everything that happened in a short while pretty much exceeded his dreams. And he has not hesitated a minute being a potato, pumpking carrot, Hulk, oddly jumping neon green banana in front of millions of viewers. Not once. Fearlessly, he has been himself all through this mad voyage which started only three, four months ago. Love from Finland. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ps52eteCqrq1hH0.html&start_radio=1

Hey Piia, I need to check his other songs out.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach it's all in Finnish, but yes do, he has an amazing voice.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach I'd suggest Välikuolema, Mic Mac, Rock Rock and Menestynyt Yksilö to start with 👍🏻. Please let us know what you thought 😊.

Thank you! I loved this song!

Definitely a fantastic performance.

And how much he was performing and promoting prior to esc.

She was amazing! She impressed me more than Loreen did.

❤️❤️

When I heard it for the first time in TV I was like - that beat is Tattoo by Rammstein! (So maybe that’s what you hear in this :)).

Thanks Fin!

You're spot on. Finland would have exploded over a win!! We did it already getting second and winning the public vote 💚🥳🔥. Thank you for rooting for Käärijä!

Thank you!

Wow thank you! I'll be sure to check it out!

Thank you! I think I needed to look at the lyrics. ❤️

Fantastic!!!

This song has been living in my head for a whole year!!

You think he was drunk? I doubt it...

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach He wasn't drunk during the performance. But in the first part of the song he is thinking about getting drunk, and preparing for getting drunk and starting to drink a lot. The second part is when the alcohol hits the head and he has had so many Pina coladas that all he can do is dancing "ugly dance" on the dancefloor and pour champagne on himself. And the last 3 seconds of the national UMK performance he plays with being so exhausted that he looks like sleeping with the mouth open.

Thank you!!! Wow so actually quite deep when you look at it.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach This is very common finnish drinking song. Often they don't have the party aspect at all. They can have really deep lyrics. "Työttömyys, viina, kirves ja perhe - Lumihanki, poliisi ja viimeinen erhe" (unemployment, booze, axe, family, snowdrift, police, last mistake), one of the most popular finnish songs.

I think I know them already .... 🤔

Nah the people of Europe thought he sang just fine. The paid off jury didn't though. Landslide victory in peoples votes > jury's votes.

Hahhahahaha fantastic!! 🤣🤣🤣 I should hit him up!

Hahahahha I could see that 🤣🤣🤣

There is clearly a metal influence in the backing track.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach So there is no metal. It is a more hardcore pop song. Edit; Leo Moracchioli did make a Metal Cover of this song, however. And it is pretty dang good. You should check it out!

She was ralking about the tattoo.

She was talking about the tattoo on his chest, however I can strongly hear song called Tattoo by Rammstein from this song's beat.

I like more the original mika's vplenu than copy paste tattoo.

Tattoo wasn't a bad song, and Loreen can obviously sing very well, but as a whole, her performance was... lackluster? I don't know what word to use, but it was not Eurovision winner material, I have heard songs like Tattoo a thousand times before, cha cha cha was unique and crazy and party, and the public loved it

Lol thanks Daniel missed that one ❤️

I think it was more because everyone rallied behind Finland to win. He was the alt sounding act that got the most votes, the more alt voters wanted him to win over Loreen so they all voted for him instead of Germany or Australia. Voyager won their semi, but got so little televotes in the final because they all voted Finland instead.

@@Nikki-rx8ri Voyager truly was amazing! I was really impressed when I heard their semifinal performance, esp. the growling break. Definitely will be checkout out their other stuff as well. Lord of the Lost I found to be quite generic metal, wasn't bad but wasn't fantastic either.

@@Nikki-rx8riYou are right about Finland. Its a catchy song and it was funny. People liked it. And I agree with all other you’re saying. The problem is since few years Germany always gets the last place. Even if they would send Rammstein or Scorpions there, they would probably get the last place too. I’m not sure but something is going on against Germany on Eurovision. There were a lot of bad songs and performances this year Serbia, UK, Ukraine, Croatia, Poland and few more. There was nothing special about their songs. At least Germany should have been on top of many songs and not at the bottom. Even they did not expect to win because how things were going for Germany in the past years but they didn’t expected to be last either.

⁠@@nukkapukka5959hink their semi final performance was better than the grand final performance. Before the Eurovision started Voyager was one of my favorite but it didn’t felt strong on live performance. Something was missing. It was great but you could say while watching that they had no chance to win because it was not that powerful as the video clip. But still it was great. About Lord of the Lost. Its Eurovision, known as pop contest which is not. They probably could do more but they used 5-6 different genres in one song. Which is not easy to do. They did it in the vocals and the music. If you look at it as a hard rock / metal song yes but you have to look at the details, the changes, surprising effects, the support from the instruments to his vocals. There’s a lot of thing. It wasn’t just a song and thats what many people finds it fascinating. And all the other contestants had the vibe of as they were in a song contest. You could have feel it except Lord of the Lost. They performed as if they were on their own show.

Hey Christopher, I took a look at it. A bloody fantastic song I agree with you! Absolutely insane it did so badly!

Häh?

I caught the same vibe........

Of course! And Kaarjia has a Rammstein tattoo 😂 He's a Rammstein fan

Wtf, Ukraine’s Stefania was not a joke, nor was Cha Cha Cha. Just because it’s different and the performance is a show does not make it a joke.

It wasn’t a comedy act. Neither was Ukraine last year.
