Apres Ski meets Rammsetin? Finland - Cha Cha Cha - Vocal Coach Analysis and Reaction

[@katriperttuli427]

The song is about social anxiety and the braveness to be yourself, dance even though you can't. With the help of a few pina coladas he loosens up and starts to dance. He is a huge Rammstein fan.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

[@matthewrandom4523]

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

[@dynoRL]

Drinking song

[@Tommuli_Haudankaivaja]

Actually the song is about our favourite passtime: drinking.

[@numchacar]

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

[@NorwegianImposter]

the fact he nearly slips when he starts running around the box and his voice didnt waver shows he is a real showman

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

I feel like Finland really embodied Eurovision this year! It was so much fun, a bit crazy and great costumes. Something everyone can enjoy and sing along to. Definitely what Eurovision needed!

Hello from another vocal coach! I've seen backstage videos of him doing straw phonation, so someone's guiding him on how to keep his voice in shape. This absolute banger has been living rent-free in my head for weeks now, and I don't think it's going to stop any time soon!

Of all the songs at Eurovision this year, this one stuck with me and I find myself singing it so often.

[@patrickuotinen]

He is more of a rapper than a singer, and he joked about having to take some singing lessons before the competition in order to beat Loreen. But I think it is more about the song and the whole performance than just the vocals.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

I love how into the song the crowd was, you can hear people doing the cha cha cha part right on time. It's simple sure, but having somethin for audience participation is such a fun and enthralling part of this. This was my favorite for sure.

[@sagamaraia]

He is at first an aggressive work worn ogre, that goes to a bar and chugs down pina coladas so he can eventually dance and be happy. In it's surface it's about drinking and partying, but under that it underlines how stupid it is that we can't just go and have some fun. Especially men, they are supposed to suck it up and "take it like a man". Käärijä is saying to them: "Just go dance!".

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

[@kennikitty]

I love this reaction. Basically it comes down to: is it perfect? No. Do we care? No. Is it still f*ing amazing? YES!

[@missukeman]

Funny thing, they said Käärijä had a little case of fever the night before this performance and he still performed like a champ, even tho his voice was a little shaky. I love him, definately my true winner and the one to actually deliver the message of the Eurovision "united by music" 💜

[@Commandasaurus]

Definitely the MOST FUN ENTRY of 2023 :D Just listen to the crowd, they kept that up during the whole voting, which usually takes an hour :D

[@tommilaitinen5555]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppmpeKeHermEiqs&start_radio=1

Quick note on how to pronounce the name: "ä" as far as I can tell is pronounced as kind of a cross between the English short a and long a vowel sounds. "Jä" is pronounced kinda like "yä" with the same vowel sound.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thank you!

[@iaindj]

You should check Serbia. Last two years Serbia choosed unique songs. Last year it end up on fifth place with criticism of global health system. This year was completely different with electro sound. Serbia won Eurovision with ballad Molitva (Prayer) in 2007 and was second in 2004 and third in 2012 when Loreen won first time with Euphoria.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

[@han7959]

As a fan of Rammstein, i could feel something very similar to Rammstein in CHA CHA CHA, but what a great song without doubts

[@JesieW]

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 :)).

[@Finkele1]

Well, i have half an hour to try to explain finnish...language before i have to go to buy more beer as they don't sell it after 21. anyways i haven't heard anybody, who moved here, to speak even close to native finnish. When somebody comes here and learns language it's formal. We don't speak formal language. It's like going to England and from city to city it's different. It actually takes time with their pronuncitation. It helped me to watch great series : an idiot abroad. That's about it I think lol

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thanks Fin!

[@danielaf1487]

I'm Italian but I was rooting for Finland (with my two kids) like mad! We didn't care much for Sweden (Loreen is a great artist, but "Tattoo" sounds like it was written by AI) and we didn't really care about Italy winning, though we're fond of Marco Mengoni. Finland was our winner of choice!!! I don't know what it was about this guy, but he got everyone fired up with his bonkers song and persona, really capturing the spirit of Eurovision perfectly. His song, which is not exactly in the style I normally listen to, is infectuous and not as shallow as one might think at first - in a nutshell it's about social anxiety. So sorry that he didn't win, I think this was something different that united everyone for real and Loreen had already won in the past anyway - it's like Sweden are so used to winning, they're only marginally happy when they do. But it would have meant the world to Finland to win!

[@Mari-ok6xg]

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!

Barking Mad has pretty good cover versions of this in both finnish and english.

[@anastasiyam643]

he sings about drinking pina coladas at the bar after a long hard week at work

[@beidero]

Also if you want to know the exact thing he is talking about, he is talking about going to the club and drinking pina coladas. He wants to go dance, but he is not brave enough. Symbolised by the dancers on the leash trying to pull him onto the dancefloor. Then once he had enough pinacoladas he let's go and goes all out and that is when the nerdy dance comes out but he thinks he is awesome. Hopefully that explains why he tries to look so awkward in the performance, he is an awkward man getting over his inner inhibitions with the help of alcohol. If you see the song with this context you can see why the dance is the way it is, also he says pina colada like 4 times in the song. Fun note, in finland rum and pinapple juice was sold out in almost every store for eurovision. Edit: I saw someone translated the lyrics already, so guess this was redundant

The fact that he's vocal technique drops a little bit in quality after the change in the middle of the song just adds to the meaning of the song. Who sings great when they are pissed?

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

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

[@Goddybag4Lee]

@@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.

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.

⁠@@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.
