[@firstnamelastname7249]

This is a whole different thing to just performing a song live. This is a THEATRE PIECE. It's so well crafted. The different camera angles and shots and how Kaarija has to turn his head to face different viewpoints, genius, it's like his signature now. Erika as a huge threatening looming face on the screen and then suddenly appearing. The use of the bed. The different heights with the staircase adds so much dimension. The white flashes when he is 'whipped'. Erika's acting, and how convincing of a Character she is. Both of their acting. It's such a perfect piece of theatrical creativity.

[@miravvee]

Apart from Käärijä and Erika being iconic, the two dancers are absolutely killing it!!!

[@kolejnytrup]

It looks like Kaarija has talent for theathre acting, I would totally go see him on another stage

But it definitely might have seen as "lame move" from many ppl knowing how popular Käärijä was.
