Finland Eurovision 2023 - Music Teacher analyses Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä (Reaction) 

Yesss it’s so fun and has a lot going on musically too!

I would happily be in the audience for your PowerPoint 😉

What is the profound and relatable message? My kid wanted me to translate the lyrics...had to change it...a lot.

​@@evipevi1973 that he is not afraid of the world anymore but in stead, can be relaxed and himself. Yes, it happens after a long week and night out - at the same time it is a question, why do we need pina coladas for that? Just feel free and be yourself! And if you know what kind of lovely and funny person he actually is, it makes much more sense. But yes, if you take the lyrics literally, the vibe is somewhat different 😂

I just hate this song, Käärijä is uncharismatic and poor singer.

I absolutely loved it.

Same. I didn't expect anything from Finnish performance but this blew my mind. I normally don't like to listen to the Finnish songs because it's just not for me but this song changed my mind.

I would compare it to "Dragostea din tei". Artists that goes their own way to create something new that isn't really in any genre that should be good, but in some way succeeds to create different parts of a song that just hits the right way.

Thank satan we did not win with this

The jury votes always letting us down 😢

The votes from the audience should be the most important.

@@hanna-mari2297 It should be the only thing that counts

i just logged in to tell you are absolutely right! Kaarija received highest score from audience but it was still not enough :(

This aged well

He got robbed

@@davodhashimi3809 THIS. the Juries gotta get abolished fr fr.

@@hermaeusmora4874 they really wanted Sweden to win just because of ABBAs annivesary next year

@@davodhashimi3809 Pretty much yeah

@@hermaeusmora4874They tried getting rid of them before, it almost killed the contest. There’s a very real risk of a lot of very rich countries pulling out without the juries and taking their funding with them.

hi from another finn in australia terve!

@@numchacar terve, terve. Aion äänestää Käärijää Ausseista. Toivottavasti tulee Aussien 12 pistettä Suomelle tänä vuonna :).

I like Loreen but I'm really rooting for Käärijä here. Loreen is doing exactly the same thing she did back in 2012. Finland for the win 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

meitsi asuu enkuis, taa aija o vitu legendaarinen genius

That's interesting! Mostly because it is the oldest trick in the book of in all kinds of emo, post-hardcore and metalcore stuff (by which this song definitely has obviously been influenced by) to have the most melodic and "poppiest" section of the song right at the end. I mean the all-time-classic Stick Stickly by Attack Attack! did it, what is it, over 15 years ago, among many, many others. And that's because the contrast usually works much better that way.

It was made for repeat 😉

Top5 would be Finlands second best result in Eurovision Song Contest! ❤

Soon number one🏆

Yes,,its good💨💨💚💚💚👍😄🤣🕺🕺💃💃🎼🎼🎼🔉🔉💕💚

Yeah and the way they pull him with those ribbons it's like they're trying to drag him onto the dancefloor! 😊

@@russetmantle1 plus they have the super smiley fake teeth in too

It’s super fun!! Hope you’ve been well 😊

@@TheMuserResolute all good here ☺️ I will still pester you about Auri II: Those We Don't Speak Of - album. I still think it would be perfect live stream analysis material 😍🙃

I totally agree ❤

Yeah, we sent Loreen again. She can sing and perform flawless, yes, but I’d rather have this! 🐛🕺

This Swede agrees 💚🇫🇮🎉

This!!

I'll be voting for Finland from Norway

Heya!! Long time no speak! Hope you’ve been well. Thanks for popping by to check this out 😊

The thing it reminds me most of is Electric Callboy. And the riff in the beginning is extremely similar to Rammstein (Tattoo) so sounds German to me more than anything.

This really isn't that original it's just a much less popular genre than Tattoo. You bringing up the South Koreans is funny as fuck since there are so many Swedes writing for Kpop groups.

@@MrsuperdestroyerI'm not an expert on anything but songwriting. But maybe I confused South Korea with old Japanese video games? I am humbled that I could be wrong, I was once before. Swedish pop is extremely depleted at this point, they should shut down and concentrate on making ball bearings instead.

@@Mrsuperdestroyer Yes I said Loreen's song was a hit song because it is. But that was of politeness, I really hate that kind of music unless it's really, really good.

@@dennislindqvist8443 You seem to miss the point, you bring up Kpop as a good example but in reality it is made by Swedes. Swedish song writers are all over the world in all genres. Saying "I'm tired of Swedish pop" is the same as saying you are tired of pop in general since they are the same thing.

What is the message????

@@evipevi1973 The message is, that introverted and inhibited people want to dance and have some fun, too.

@@patrickuotinen yes that would be a lovely message. Unfortunately the way to have fun and dance, in this song, is spelled alcohol. You kind of missed that detail?

😂❤

Thank you 😊

Subjective opinion presented as an objective fact. So much win. Pardon my sarcasm. Taste in food is subjective. Taste in summer resorts is subjective. Taste in clothes is subjective. All a matter of *personal taste* Guess what? Taste in music is subjective too. So next time write:"In my mind this was the best song..." Because you can only speak for *yourself* not others. But cowards, ignorant and stupid people always think they can speak for everybody. If you like it it really shouldn't matter whether it won or not. Nobody prevents you from listening to it a thousand times every week. Cliff Richard's "Congratulations" finished 2nd in the Eurovision but it's a classic today. You don't know who Cliff Richard is and can't name 5 influential musicians who competed in the ESC. But you *do* know what is "by far the best song". To me you sound like a person saying:"McDonald's has by far the best burgers. Everybody knows it so everybody eats there." Some music is like junk food. It may be popular but it's not good for you. And your average Eurovision televoter just wants a musical "Happy Meal".

​@@jessiemann8251 it is objective fact when it won the publics heart and united the people, what Eurovision is suppost to be all about. Peace and unity in Europe through music. And Cha Cha Cha won public vote by a landslide.
