Sadly, the crowd isn't even that hyped. I mean, I love the song, dont get me wrong, but Im actually disappointed how most of the people there are just still, taking photos, not even much jumping going on. Yeah they shout, but jeez, that made me sad.
@@miroslavpalas4734 I don't remember anyone ever screaming for a song during voting. Crowd is def hyped. Internet is pissed with the results. MOST COUNTRIES VOTED FOR FINALND! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!
Wow, you are so right. The encore would have been iconic. And the intro of 2024...imagine cha cha cha opening next Eurovision. Not only has been Finland robbed, but so were we.
@@test-tl8dt I keep thinking of the massive Käärijä concert in Helsinki with hundreds of thousands of Finnish people shouting Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha the same time. Which never happened. But cant stop thinking about it. Thanks Eurovision...
The Verka Serduchka of 2023. Not every ESC legend is a winner. Not every ESC winner is a legend. P.S.: To those who rightly insisted that this year's winner is indeed a legend: I never said she isn't. It would be presumptuous to claim that a two-time ESC winner does not deserve a place in the hall of fame. I merely meant to point out that you don't need to win to become a legend and that a win does not automatically guarantee a legendary status. I accept this year's win, but I have the right to celebrate the runner-up's obvious popularity.
@@flamezodiac5736 lmao you must be really sad. Salty cuz your fave wasn't the audience's winner because they dont have nearly as much charisma and personality as he does? :))
As a Finnish person i must say I'm so proud of Käärijä and sincerely _so_ moved to see how people in other countries love him as much as we do. Thank you!
Even outside of Europe, people were able to vote this year, and many of us were rooting for Finland, all around the world. I am a Finnish-descendant American and I cast all my votes for Käärijä!
I have never seen people chanting a single artist's name during the ESC voting announcement. That was so crazy. Like the whole stadium was there to see him. Love it! Love Kaarija!
@@flamezodiac5736 Actually I would not prefer both songs. Loreen's song ist boring AF. She just won because she is a Legend, not because of her song and performance this year.
I hope this jumpstarts his career, I want him to make more music and succeed, he is a lovable person with a fantastic stage performance and just a overall fun and sweet guy! You should be proud of yourself Jere over what you have accomplished, Europe loves you!
Let's see if he starts getting/doing international gigs (like Blind Channel and Lordi). Cha cha cha might prove that the language barrier doesn't matter, but then again, it's THE Cha Cha Cha, I don't know if people worldwide would go as crazy for his other songs. For sure in Finland he's gonna be a star from nowon! 🎉
At least Käärijä will be remembered for this song and will certainly get more attention and popularity. In Finland, there has been a very popular artist Cheek, a bit like Käärijä. Few songs: Käärijä - Mic Mac Cheek - Timantit on ikuisia
This song is perfect. Sounds great in the native language, is upbeat, and has a repeated line anyone from any country could repeat. We should send this into space for aliens to hear.
I am so proud of him! He is an amazing person, very honest, funny, emotional, a wonderful performer. He is a mega star here in Finland and will always be remembered for his Cha cha cha. And I am amazed how ppl sing this song in Finnish , a language spoken by approximately five million ppl. Käärijä is for sure the winner of ESC this year. But I’m biased saying this being a Finn. The true judges are all those ppl in the Liverpool arena and around the globe voting for him and shouting CHA CHA CHA! So thank you! We love you Käärijä! 💚💚💚
I was so heartbroken for him when Sweden was called out because you can really see the emotions in his eyes and how he fell. Crazy. This man is already an ESC legend. So proud of him.
It's very atypical for a Finn, but he really went out there to win. But, he didn't. Then he made a statement to the Finnish viewers, asking for forgiveness that he didn't. He's now aiming to become the best performer and entertainer in Finland and is fully booked for the rest of the year either way.
I am swedish and will never watch eurovision again until the juries are gone or their power is significantly lower (25-30% max). I supported Käärija from the start and they obviously deserved the win. Finland was robbed, just like Norway was in 2019.
I'm finnish and at first I was sure that I won't watch Eurovision next year. But I think maybe I will, tho I don't know if I'll wait Eurovision as excited anymore but still. We knew that this would end up with the jury game. I'm just sad for Käärijä and how he apoligized to everyone after losing and said that better won this time. But still congrats! 🇫🇮❤🇸🇪
Even though I rooted for Croatia, I'm so freaking en-CHA-CHA-CHA-chanted by Käärijä and when it came to announce the winner, I crossed my fingers for Finland. For me YOU are the true winner, you won millions of hearts!💚💚💚 With love from Poland
Its the other way around, Sweden got most of the 12 points, and for what... fckin disgrace. For me it was either this, moldova or israel, personally my favorite (even tho i tend to lean onto antisemitic side a bit)
Bruh, what are you on about? :D Sweden got 12 points from 15 different JURIES of the countries, Finland got freaking TWO???? From the public Finland got 18 times 12 points and Sweden got none, and 100% rightfully so. The real winner is Finland by a MILE. Such a miscarriage of justice...
And he was only ~70 points behind last year's Stefania by Kalush who got pure 10s & 12s from all 40 countries! Kaarija got 18x 12 points, 9x 10 points and the rest of the 36 participating countries gave him 6s, 7s and 8s
If I dont remember correctly, I believe that Måneskin got over 500 public votes, almost double that of Finland this year. Clearly won on public votes. Finland got the most public votes this year and should have been the winner. The best song and the best performance by far
I think this is real ESC spirit. Music bring people together. I really love how people sing verse out loud. Come on guys, they learn one most hardest languange of world. 💪🏼💚💚💚 thank you
Speechless... I put this on my large tv, dimmed other lights, put the volyme MAX 🆙️ and felt I was there with you! Best audience video seen from finals so far 🙌🙌 lf this is NOT CRAZYPARTY, I don't know what is?!?!??!!?
You are the real winner for me (voted for you and love your song!:) Thank you dear Kaarja and hoping to see you winning someday in the future!:))). Shalom from Israel:)❤
Never have I ever heard the crowd of eurovision going so crazy for a song before. And even while the votes, people were cheering: ”cha cha cha!!” It says it all. Despite, the jury has way too much power and it would have been almost impossible for anyone to beat sweden as the jury made the gap so big. Keep cha cha chaing, it’s crazy, it’s party. 💚💚
It was, actually. Sweden didn't get any 12 points, and in theory if Finland had gotten every single 12 from every single country, he still would've been 1 point short of Sweden. The jury gave Sweden a lead that could never in any scenario have been beat, even with Finland getting 100% of the possible points from the televote. The jury needs to go.
Yup. I won’t watch again unless they remove juries. They spend one hour giving us rigged jury scores then five minutes on public vote, shows what they think of fans.
I envied everyone who was there ❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing this perspective! The croud was so loud through the whole show, I loved it! What a party, what a show!
I’ve never seen a Eurovision crowd so behind a song before! Such a brilliant performance by Finland compared to the very formulaic and dated Swedish entry that only won because of so-called expert juries rather than 71% of the public vote that went to Käärijä.
Incredible how they can do a set change in less than 90 seconds. This song is my absolute favourite from a show stuffed with great songs this year. One day I'll get to be in a Eurovision audience, it seems there's nothing to compare it to! Love love love you Käärijä
Käärijä, you are the true winner - without a doubt. The one that get not just the crowd but all of Europe to dance and sing is the winner. No Jury can change that. Last time I checked it is the people who decides who will be chart front runner. Currently Cha Cha Cha is streamed number 1 in Sweden (sportify) - Tattoo is number 2.
Ok guys... I work in social care with youngsters/ young adults suffering in their nowaday lives because of their background (sexual abuse, criminal history, child protection years, suicidal medical history, drugs, identity searching as LGBT-person etc) and Käärijä has been in our daily discussions: they have become interested in ESC telling HE has lifted their spirit, HE has brought so much joy working as "organic anti-depressant" for them! We even had our own voting last Friday, without possibility to vote 🇫🇮 (btw winner was Australia, then Norway& Germany & Croatia & Armenia& Sweden& Israel etc) What a sadness there was today when started my day. But then we checked Käärijä's upcoming gigs and decided to book tickets 🤩🤩🤩 THIS is the true meaning #unitedbymusic. New ESC-generation is there, coming ❣💜💚🧡💙💚💛❣
@@flamezodiac5736 pathetic, just get a life and stop commenting under a video of someone you don't like. Unfortunately, Hatari was right - hate will prevail. But not you, only hate.
Omg, what the video this was. The bass and the crowd 🤩! I was watching this in a dark room with my earphones, I have to admit I was crying a bit...😭💚. I'm so proud of our national treasure and can't wait to see him live in Helsinki soon 💚💚💚.
I prefer this version/POV over the official video because in this, you can actually see and hear how hyped up the audience is. Especially at 2:41 the audience makes it just feel that the hype could generate enough electricity to power the entire Europe for a year.
