Elder Emo Reacts to Käärijä - Ruoska (LIVE UMK)+Cha Cha Cha w/Live Orchestra | ELDER EMUNK REACTION 

EVEN SWEDEN KNOWS 💚

We were at Eurovision song contest in Livepool and he blew the roof off. The crowd screamed chachacha so loud

Ruoska was the intermission act in UMK24. If it had been a competing number, it would have swept the competition for sure.

I love how you said WE 😍❤😙 love from 🇫🇮

Kaarija + Erika Vikman = best fever dream possible

The ultimate version of Cha Cha Cha, it's just insane!! I saw him literally the day I tested negative to get out of Corona Jail as he toured Europe and I was absolutely dying but it was worth every second of pain. He is so good live, like I cannot adequately describe how much of a vibe it was. And he has the wildest like mix of people that make up his crowd. He appeals to legitimately everyone

That with the stick on the stage wasn't Käärijä but his double, Häärijä. Like a smaller twin of his, hilarious and amazing.😊

The one conducting the orchestra was Häärijä, Käärijä's goofier "twin" often seen in his live performances.

For both performances i was in the room!! Absolutely the greatest thing ever!!!

Wish you have opportunity to see him live some day. He is always so amazing 🔥🖤

Goosebumps every time I hear this. And yes, I was there. The best version of ccc ever ❤.

It jas to be one of the best songs ever written Cha Cha Cha

KIITOS from Finland.

HAHA! At 7:23 the man you said looks like your uncle Ralph, is Antti Lindtman, the current leader of the Social Democratic Party of Finland 😀😀

Oh yes!!!! Thank you for doing these - isn't he the very best?

I hope you’ve watched the performance of Cha Cha Cha he did straight after Ruoska at UMK. For me it was the celebration he should have had at Eurovision had he won. Total joy. 🎉💚💚💚😄

Haarija is the maestro

I love him❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤

I love love love your reaction! I watched this with my cousin who is authistic - he adores Käärijä - and tears falling along with a BIGGEST smile ever made his day 😭💞🙏 His mental safe place is always in Käärijä-world!

Thank you for the reaction! I am so glad I discovered Käärijä last year, and have been kinda obsessing over his music since then. Maybe you should also check out Portion Boys from Finland. They are very upbeat and more pop-ish than Käärijä, but I really like their stuff too. It is very catchy (at least if you speak Finnish). They have a couple of music videos on YT, the latest one is called Tilipäivä. They became second after Käärijä in last years' UMK.

Love your reaction ❤️😄 and 100% agree, Käärijä is sooo good! Our short king, the true winner 👑 I've been to one of his gigs but wish I could’ve been to UMK and the Emmas bc when I first saw this Cha Cha Cha at Emma gala I just about ascended. Utter perfection 👌💎 Subbed! Edit: you asked for recommendations, I got one, not even for reaction video but just to check out if you haven't already. It's an older video, Apocalyptica's cello cover of Nothing else matters. Incredibly beautiful.

I subscribed for the kaarija!

KÄÄRIJÄ #1 🔥🔥🔥

Winner❤️❤️❤️

Käärijäs KOT KOT (offficial audio) ❤❤❤Greetings from Finland

Agree with you on UMK. Love your comments and reaction!

Thank you again, I was in the room watching both shows, and watch these videos almost every day, he is our national treasure and I cant wait for his first own gig in Helsinki this year in may, I love him💚💚

Loved your reaction ! I even started loving the orchestra performance more, after seeing how much you enjoyed it 😄

Käärijä in the middle of nightmare 👻

Thanks for the video. It was fun to watch.😊

I assume you already know it by now, but Ruoska was an interval act and not actually submitted to this year's contest.

Correction: Grammy is the US version of Emma Gaala. 😖

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Intentaron robarle el festival, sí. Pero en realidad, todos sabemos que él fue el ganador, el verdadero ganador. Por supuesto que hasta Suecia lo sabe. Él nunca perdió nada. Ese gran robo sólo lo lanzó más a la fama y a ser aún más querido por el público. Este año ha estado lleno de éxitos para él. Käärijä llegó para quedarse. 💚🔝

"You have been very naughty"

💚❤️👍🏻👏🏻

EUROVISION 2024 EST À HELSINKI !!!!!!

Check Cha cha cha by rso (radio symphany Orchestra) that's instrumental version

They could have the same band, but Kaarija decided he will never go to ESC again :).

Hi, maybe try Elastinen ft. Käärijä - Toiset samanlaiset? 😊

I voted for Ruoska!

BATTLE BEAST NOORA LOUHIMO LIVE FINLAND.

Even Sweden knows who should have won. Luv ya . There's a Crotatian guy with a song out called Rim tim tagi dim that you might like , I'd like to see your reaction to that music video. He is competing in Eurovision this year .

Finns are just... different

It was only middle time show…

They ( Sweden) never play Käärijä in radio or tv in Sweden ..never.

WHY DOES YOUR UNCLE RALPH LOOK LIKE SCOMO (previous australian prime minister)

Why are you telling me this? As if I don’t know. Stop now.

FINLAND DID NOT GET ROBBED. Maybe you liked the song better, but blunt reality is this: on Finals night, Kaarija's vocal performance was borderline poor.. Sounded out of breath, offtune. Those two things are critical, and if you do not perform near perfectly on finals night, that is just life. Loreen was right behind him in televote, and not a landslide for him by any means, [dominant yes, landslide no], where as he was like 6th in the Jury, significantly farther away from her. Those two things together mean that he lost fair and square. DO LET ME BE CLEAR: I *adore* Jere Poyhonen (Kaarija), crazy loving wacky glorious unicorn of a man that he is. As Ruoska shows, he is a brilliant performer. But as far as actual *song* goes, ChaChaCha is 75-80% Rap/chant, NOT SINGING. That undoubtedly hurt him in some ways, and without the brilliant stage performance, casual listeners arent going to hit repeat very often. Rap + in FInnish = far less appeal. The stunning gap in streaming between Tattoo and ChaChaCha after a year makes that point clearly. All these people screaming about how the televote should always rule - well, we had a near decade of that in the 2000s, and it is widely viewed as enjoyable, but critically lacking in much artistic merit - all sorts of idiotic novelties acts showed up without a jury to worry about. NO ONE is ever promised when they televote that only it will decide the winner. The year before we had a case of the televote being fatally warped over a sympathy vote for Ukraine, overriding the significant advantage both Sam Ryder and Chanel had... but you didnt see people screaming about that.
