Full transition of Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä performance, Audience view

[@WindyNebula]

It's so fascinating seeing the stagehands work before the actual show. They did incredible job, too! Both semifinals and the grand finals went with zero hiccups! Huge kudos to them!

[@juraj5]

Actually not 100% perfect - during the grand final performance a cable in the middle of the crate did not collapse. Kaarija ran into it with his head at the start of the part when he goes around with the camera in front of him, but you couldn’t tell unless you watched closely.

[@rowaystarco]

@@juraj5 you could absolutely see him dodging the cable, but it honestly made it look cooler. Having him dodge traps.

[@erictimm]

@@juraj5 yeah, the cable was suppose to fall down by one of the dancers releasing it. But they missed it in the final

[@kapuseta]

@@erictimm They didn't miss it. you can see in the grand final performance that a male dancer pulls on it after they come out of the cube, but the wire malfunctioned and was stuck. Käärijä told about this in an interview on Finnish tv.

[@tiebienotjuh8568]

These people also did well, but I felt it was much faster in The Netherlands. Here they still walk quietly on stage and there they really walked on stage. And looking at it, the acts in The Netherlands were much harder than here.

[@kurkkupastillitjalammintee]

Cannot even describe how much it warms my heart to hear the audience sing along in my language!

[@aliceaalto]

Joo-Kukapa ikinä olisi uskonut mitä tapahtuu ja nyt joka bändi tekee omia versioita ja kun jenkit ottaa tämän omakseen-huh huh taivas rajana!

[@jps8678]

Yes but that guy sing something like PIdän kaksin käsin kiinni nuomista niiku. Nuomista isn't any word. Its juomista. But all else was understandable.

@@JakobTennisMB i guess only 150 people(stupid jury) cared about the vocals(and only vocals, they did not even consider the rest of their criteria...), the rest of the Europe fell in love with his performance, energy and the overall vibe he gave us... he was the best of the night for sure

can't even imagine how nervous he is with such a physical performance and so many moving parts. Love Kaarija, he is at home on the stage 💚💚

Even the way the camera operators appeared out of the smoke was badass 😂

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

That was absolutely incredible! I was mesmerized!

[@tonypasma1707]

mmm

[@Mezzy..]

Omg... I can just FEEL the nerves just from watching this 3 weeks later. Its the knowledge that that millions of people will be watching you and talking about you based on your performance, and its live so if you do anything wrong or mess up, then its all over. I can't imagine the stress kaarija mustve went through although I thank god that he seens confident enough to deal with it. Still it mustve been so nerve wracking... I could never do it.

[@FeaturesGaming]

What a performance, absolutely crushed it! Also, I find it fascinating how the production is done, as someone who studied media in college, I love seeing how each shot was captured, and the planning process and choreography must have been trimmed down to the second, as when I watched the performance on TV, I couldn't see any of this apart from maybe 1 or 2 in the audience, but this makes us all realise how much work goes into making this happen!

[@kattanakaokopnik5170]

There is a video showing a split screen of the camera and light cues along with the performance. It’s amazing.

[@DuperDude45]

I love how people still mumble the lyrics even when they don't speak the language.

[@JakobTennisMB]

It’s a bit cringe.

I remember seeing the stream and going "how the hell???" and this answered all my questions. Thanks for uploading! Gotta give the stage hands and camera operators some love!!!

[@janwickman1839]

Thank you so much for this! It is great to see the transitions but also the choreography in full. Some nice details were left out of the TV frames.

[@Soepsas]

The choreography is insane! I'm not the greatest fan of the song (and it's genre) but the complete package is amazing. The light-design, the graphics (I love the giant shadow), the 'story' with the props, the unhinged dancers giving it a 1000%, the colors. It's not just a spectacle, it's an art-piece.

[@DelonSerinoVlogs]

Those moving panels at the back do wonders. The stage may be tiny compared to previous years but the technology every year becomes more complicated.

[@GeneralGayJay]

Interesting to see how much work it is for the cameramen

[@aliceaalto]

This song and performance has miraculously struck people-Uskomatonta! Kiitos Käärijä!

[@Mezzy..]

I love the whole idea of kaarija holding his backups dancers like his circus freaks by a leash

[@Kotifilosofi]

I think in the original performance they were holding the strings of the boxing square. However, it's amazing to see how the performance evolved. Imo this was the best version of it, the crazy Käärijä being shipped all the way from Finland and destroying the shipping box while getting out of it 😂

[@PastaSauce.]

It’s so interesting seeing the cameras and set dynamics around the performance.

No one gives those background dancers enough credit, they make it so much better. Their facial expressions alone were more entertaining to me than the actual winner in 2023.

[@annariikkaleino9264]

Just a great performance, in a nutshell🎉❤🎉

[@oscarfernald9402]

Finally. A good view of the tongue shadow. All other fan videos I’ve seen turn the camera to the audience at that part, and in the official video they ruined the shot and showed it too briefly. So you have my eternal gratitude 😁👌🏾

Hoping Strictly / DWTS might notice this

@@christianchan1144 I have already noticed some newly released songs that I feel sure will make the Strictly list. My rule of thumb is that if I can choreo a Cha Cha/Tango/Jive to it, then it's probably in! So far Dua Lipa's new one for the Barbie movie is, I reckon, a shoo in :)

The thing weighs like 25kg so it helps to have someone to balance when running like they were. However it is indeed a good question why they couldn't have some lighter camera setup... Plenty exist with more than enough quality.
