You're quite right. Käärijä brought the Finnish language onto the map in a completely new way. Nightwish is a great band and I respect their work. However, they do not make music in Finnish. It's absolutely amazing that a person who makes Finnish-language music gets such huge popularity for his music. That has never happened before. On the contrary, it has always been thought that our language is not suitable for foreign distribution. The whole industry has now faced a new issue for us. In fact, people have traveled from all over the world to even small towns for gigs just because of Käärijä and learned the songs by heart in Finnish. Not just a Cha Cha Cha shout. Many have also started learning the language because of the artist.

@anssia3123 10 месяцев назад

Käärijä is the first person to admit that he's no Whitney Houston. He is a rapper, storyteller and entertainer much more than he is a singer. He has a great aggressive edge to his rapping and in his other music he does a bit of voice acting as a storytelling tool, there are a lot of little comedic elements without making it cheap humor music. It's really quite an interesting way of using the voice, his capability of expressing emotion through rapping is pretty special. I think he has a lovely tone when singing but he obviously can't compete with trained singers in technique. However, his style of music does not need perfect singing but a big attitude and that's what he's great at. He went to Eurovision and made every single person happy for a moment. And that's really really special. As much as I appreciate great technique, music and especially Eurovision is much more than just that. Btw if you watch the official music video you can turn on English subtitles.

To be very honest, I am a vocalist, who has always been, and will always be, incredibly critical of vocality and skill... But I'm also a huge Eurovision fan. The reality is that - in terms of vocals - Loreen was not the best performer Eurovision saw this year. Alika, Blanca Paloma, Mimicat and more were all absolutely phenomenal and deserved more credit. Cha cha cha, though vocally unspectacular, was so entertaining. Every time. It brings a smile to my face no matter when I hear it. And yes, it was my favourite. But it was my favourite because it had a vibe nothing else this year really had. I loved it.

@venycal 10 месяцев назад

I do agree that Alika/Blanca were the best vocalist of the night. However, the juries also take consideration into other aspects of the performance. 1-Vocal capacity of the artist(s) 2-Performance on stage. 3-Composition and originality of the song. 4-Overall impression of the act. That's why I can understand why Sweden was ranked high because it has the full package. I would have ranked Spain higher than Estonia but I guess Eaea was too polarizing for many.....

@Eva-mp7xg 10 месяцев назад

@@venycal Tattoo song having the full package? I have a different opinion on that. - vocal capacity: top quality. - performance on stage: good (there were better ones, e.g. Spain or Serbia...) - composition and originality of the song: medium (using standard chord progressions and well-known melodies) - overall impression: that on each jury member, and on their tastes.

But one of the most incredible things for me is that people learn to sing it, not knowing the language, and some people actually starting to learn Finnish to understand it. It is quite mental that one song can have such an impact on people that they start learning a language hardly nobody speak in the world (around 5-6 million people). Greetings from Finland.

@@dav4811 There is no set formula for winning Eurovision, since uniqueness and deviance from the other contestants is of decisive importance.

Käärijä's televote score and jury placement were on par with that of a eurovision winner, in fact, he would have won most years with the points he ended up with. No hate towards Loreen, but don't treat Käärijä as an impossible winner when he was only 60 points short.

@tommilaitinen5555 10 месяцев назад

@@casperix3741 And I would like to add, that iconic Loreen song Euphoria got less points from the juries while it won. And that was a year when there were no real contenders. Now she won by almost 170 points the jury votes the song that got second most jury points. It is like this year's songs were almost twice as worse than on her first try. What? Käärijä could have had won only by getting actually all the twelves from every country, and only then, hardly. It would have depended on so much on how much Loreen would have been getting from the televotes. So it is actually reasonable to ask: "WTF juries this year? What happened?" I do get it that it was much about the vocals and performance this year, but there are other criteria as well by which the songs should be judged. This year almost 60% of the jury members represented pop music (industry), and over 10% of the jury members represented classical music and those were the two most represented areas. Only a couple of jury members came from metal music industry, and none specialized on rapping. So actually, Käärijä broke through with Finnish rap and being the fourth after the juries. That is just amazing because I was waiting for him to get something like 40 points and quite long it seemed like he was not getting points at all. And that would have been another place for a riot: juries giving a song 0 points, and it winning the televotes with a landslide. Is the juries that do not understand music, or is it the public? 60 points behind Loreen this year, is not bad at all. Actually Käärijä's song did something Loreen could have never done. Nothing away from her victory and outstanding performance.

" to the "i dont care about them all" high notes hence why she obviously outshined in the jury votes. Käärijäs song is more engaging, the Cha Cha Cha is singalongable for everyone and its just a fun song. Heck me as a german i started learning a bit of finish just because of this.

A translation to this song is basicly: an introverted guy (because apparently that's a Finnish thing) who wants to come out of his shell and has trouble doing so because of all the stereotypes that is expected of man (hence the pina colada reference) It is why he is singing low and introverted at the beginning and at the end he is going for it all the way with his pink dancers.

you said it yourself: it's the better eurovision song for so many reasons. native language, fun, a lil crazy, unique, not something you'd hear on any radio station, iconic, irraplacable. I do think Tattoo is a nice song - Euphoria was fantastic, and it won rightfully back in the day. the fact that they let a past eurovision winner compete again and then win by the jury votes, taking the opportunity away from someone new who brought everything we love about eurovision - it was honestly tragic watching it unfold. it was so, so sad. it felt like the rest of the competition didn't even matter, cause Loreen was gonna win regardless. she shouldn't have been there :/

Eurovision is all about connecting people with music and performance and Jere definitely did that. Which is why I think people were little salty about Loreens win on top of her already winning once. This would have been Finlands second ever win and people were rooting for that too, and not just Fins. And that next year will be ABBA's anniversary of their eurovision win and now Sweden gets to host the event is little too convenient imo. The jury in every country just giving top points to sweden was also little weird especially since swedens performance wasnt really that outstanding from many other amazing vocalists in the competition. About this song, you really need to read the lyrics. They might sound silly at first but it has deeper saying in it. And after understanding the lyrics the performance makes more sense too 😆

Personally I think Loreen was amazing, but not spectacular. Without the hype she got from Euphoria, her previous victory, I don't think she would have stood out. On the other hand, I think its kinda sucky that even though Käärijä won the televoting by a landslide, he couldn't overturn the jury votes. Televoting costs money, and people were willing to pay to see him win. Meanwhile Loreen wasn't #1 in televotes in any country. I think Loreen is a megastar and Käärijä has potential to be one, and the voting system just ain't balanced correctly.

You're forgetting that people voted for Loreen too, paid money for her too, and saw their winner pick actually win. You vote with the risk of it not paying off. Loreen still came second with the televote, so you need to stop acting like she was flat-out last, and won solely on jury votes.

Somehow I missed that you did this video at all!!! Can't believe I missed this! :o But yes, Cha Cha Cha isn't really about the vocals. It's worth learning what the song is about. I think it spoke to a lot of people. As a heterosexual guy who likes a lot of more traditionally "feminine" things, and who spent most of my childhood being taught that boys were supposed to be a certain way, I can relate to a song about breaking out of the box. This is represented in music via a transition from the metal start of the song to the more tonal part later. Essentially moving from masculine to more feminine. And then it's just so much fun for audience participation, which is a big winner at Eurovision. Bonus points for him being a super likable person.

It's not a vocal contest, but the contestants are required to sing live. So you need to be able to deliver proper vocals. If you know you're going to be running and dancing around, then you need to work on your breathing technique and stamina (like Loreen and Noa did, for example). Sure, Käärijä is a rapper, but his song has a pop part in it - and again - he needs to be able to deliver it. Why else add it? For shits and giggles? As for 4.: his vocals were bad. The only other contenders for worst vocals on finale night were Mae and Luke Black. Compared to the other competitors, Käärijä's vocals were subpar, to say the least. Cha Cha Cha may not have been a joke entry, but it was for sure presented as one, which is what helped it stick out to the general public who look for short-term, one-night, entertainment on a Saturday night in May. I mean, lifting your leg up as if you're a peeing dog? Twirling your tongue around? The centipede? It was gimmick after gimmick to ensure a good televote result (which it did, I'm not denying that - it did, because of the joke-y presentation). It's clear now, post-contest, that Tattoo is the song with the bigger longevity and the more deserving winner.

As a Finn, I would like to open up a little about the background of this song and why the singer became so popular (at least from my perspective). The song practically sings about how a man goes to a bar and drinks until the "icy outer shell is destroyed". We Finns are known as very friendly, but introverted people. Alcohol is a strong part of our culture and I myself would describe it as a Finnish "medicine", with which we turn ourselves into social butterflies, from wall roses to kings and queens of the dance floor. Even though Käärijä and his music doesn't meet my preferences, I completely understand why Cha Cha Cha got such huge attention and popularity both in the people and in the media. In addition to the melody, the singer's role is also important to me in music, and Käärijä's vocal side does not falter. However, from the point of view of Eurovision, Cha Cha Cha was actually the perfect choice: it is an entertaining, self-ironic and crowd-possessing entity. In addition to that, Käärijä himself is a very genuine person, who with his honesty in the media has certainly gained even more supporters. So, I agree, the wrong country won. What makes this even more unfair is that Sweden has won Eurovision before (in 2012) with Loreen as well. Hopefully the Eurovision rules will change and the audience's votes would have a clearer meaning in terms of the win, because Käärijä was the overwhelming favorite of the audience and still Loreen won. And of course, this also raises the question of whether the victory was even genuine from the judges end, but that's a story of its own...
