This is just pure ESC comedic gold 🤣 Finland - the gift that keeps on giving.

[@Piia2023]

Henri Piispanen, the singer is a professional singer, songwriter, musician from a music institution in Finland. He is a singer in two bands, Pasa and Kontio Polaris. He is also a voice actor, has been doing voices for children's cartoons and voice dubbing films for 24 years, and he is now 30. That is also why this song is so good, keychange. There os also a classic version with the Finnish Tapiola Sinfonietta, Henris singing is absolutely wonderful, worth watching.

[@rai1879]

Man... That's the experience company's are asking nowadays 😂

[@Piia2023]

​@@rai1879yes, unlike ESC yotubers and the fans, but outside that bubble his skills are appreciated very much.

[@rai1879]

@@Piia2023 I was referring to companies asking you to have decades of experience in something but be 30 or less in age

[@christofpahl511]

It was so wonderful to see how happy you were about the key change :-) best REACTION of the year ;-)

[@Aquelll]

It is just a Finnish thing to have a naked guy running around the stage. Finland is probably the most nudity friendly country, because of the whole sauna culture, that it is just a classicly Finnish.

[@Silveirias]

Frankly, I think it would have been fine for him to be without underwear when performing in Finland

[@mzbelgium]

Haha that key change moment was too funny 🤣

[@Halliinnchuks]

I love this track, absolutely my music from the 90s. And the way they hide the lower part of Windows 95 Man is just so fun.

[@petepeto9335]

Hope u will vote? 🕺🕺

[@Halliinnchuks]

@@petepeto9335 can't promise that yet. Too much competition and need to be concious of my budget.

[@tanjanikola9489]

There are references to Finnish folklore, Kalevala, in which the world is born out of a goldeneye duck egg. Henri also wears boots that mimic boots made out of birch bark (virsut). Henri is also dressed like the bird that laid the egg (although not really duck-like...).

[@patrickuotinen]

You felt the key change coming, and it came. Yes, I know, it's very satisfying. 🤩

[@petepeto9335]

Windows 95 is NOT protected trademark. Anyone can use it. But now ESC does not let it be

[@Garbox80]

AND Microsoft even stated that they have no issues on them using the logo (the logo might be protected still, but they're using it in ill will etc). But ESC didn't allow it, so they made new clothes with blurred logos that everyone still recognizes 😂

[@Dukiduledoozy]

We need a key change -- you're a visionary, Mike 😂

[@Piia2023]

The song was composed in 2020,, and he actually thought of try to Eurovision in 2021, but then came the lockdowns and all that. The staging is from Kalevala, the Finnish national epos, where the world is born from an egg, in a time when ther was, yet...no rules

[@anssia3123]

You were missing key changes in some other video so I knew this will make you happy. Didn't expect THIS happy 😂

[@satu7996]

I think that after that recording, Henri's voice, that is, this singer dressed in denim feathers, has become stronger. The situation seemed to excite him. Going along was not in his thoughts as originally told, but a last-minute solution when no other singer could be found. Henri is the producer of the song. Have now become friends with Teemu Keister aka Windows95man during the competition. Teemu has already had this No Rules in its various forms for a longer career. He is a versatile artist and No Rules! and Why Not! are his mottos. The purpose is to make people happy and free them from unnecessary demands on themselves.

[@elinahamalainen5867]

Käärijä - Cha cha cha had a key change mid-song too, right? Maybe we Finnish just like them.

[@ZeniaLarsen]

The fact that the key change made your day, made my day ❤

[@joebloggs396]

The Spa Mix takes this music and switches it into a different 90s retro style.

[@artokojo]

I liked this reaction. This is an interesting performance, because none of the national finals jurys saw it winning, so few of the pros and ESC fans will foresee its success either. The problem is bigger jury percentage in ESC finals.

[@Eva-mp7xg]

Thanks for the shoutout. ☺ - a genX who remembers Windows 3.1 and sometimes changes her keys 😉

[@CionnFE]

lol, loved the key change reaction 😂..fantastic. I hope they’re being ironic….

The best part of this video was your absolute excitement about being right about the key change haha

[@TheMuserResolute]

😆

[@zapple5319]

Love the key change as well. it's something i have missed for much of the modern music

[@durabelle]

To be honest the rules for public decency in Finland are not that strict with nudity. I could easily imagine them not censoring the nether regions even if the Windows95 dude really had no pants on, while still censoring the Windows logos 🤣 It wouldn't fly in an international show of course, but wouldn't shock most Finns. We're the ones who invented sauna after all, so pretty much every Finn has seen lots of totally naked strangers.

[@durabelle]

Also you're correct, Windows 3.1 deserved way more love than 95. It was a lot more stable, whereas Windows95 just kept crashing if you even looked at it the wrong way.

[@annalyon2729]

I don't think finns are that free with male nudity in public or in movies. It's another thing with female nudity. Same with many other countries./ I have distant relatives living in Finland, so I know something about their customs.

[@durabelle]

@@annalyon2729 I don't know what your distant relatives have told you, but we really are quite okay with male nudity too. Sure, in movies they show naked women more, but then again most of our famous movie directors are men, so probably just goes down to male gaze and such. But even if it isn't actually done in broadcast TV, there's no shock factor around nudity, even if kids might see it. It's quite common for small kids to go in public saunas with a parent of either gender, I for example used to go swimming with dad, and until I was about 7 or so I'd go with him to the men's changing rooms, showers and saunas. Have seen countless naked Finnish dudes, and nobody cares.

[@jukka7697]

Yep, no real shock factor around an artist being naked. Mostly funny to see kids reaction to it. If adults are okay with it, kids learn to be okay with it too. I didn't even notice Windows95man's pants missing at first.

[@omanmc]

Key change shock! That does it.

[@oehlbormturn]

Does anyone actually know if this ended up being the only key change this year?

[@TheMuserResolute]

I’m pretty sure it is. I’ve listened to most of the songs all the way through… I think. I do tune out with some or skip some which are not great. I remember noting that this is the only key change

[@JarppaGuru]

8:14 bcoz they have 2 song and key not important they just play notes and octave only have 6 full note b is a# there is no b and f is e#. reason why c key sound like that with white keys c d e f g a b c -> (real sound) c d e e# f# g# a# c thats why c major key sound there is 4 sharp

[@MariaCarabin]

It's fun, but not in my top 20. But I really like the "Overthinking Eurovision" episode about him and Joost. I got a lot of respect for them now, but yeah, still no vote from me. But it's catchy and they are awesome dudes with an interesting history.

[@sallasundell4351]

He is a performan artist and dj. Not best singer but he make good performanse and everybody can think what was hes point, hes meanings😉😁 !

[@Jeretin_YT]

What exactly is key change?

[@TheMuserResolute]

It’s when the tonal center (the note and scale which feels like “home”) changes and moves into a different one. In this case, Its function is to lift the piece of music up and usually excites and heightens the listener. I was so excited because they’ve gone out of fashion on modern music. Eurovision would have many entries which use them in the past, especially ballads. Modern mainstream music did too. Now a days they are not often used This is why I was unreasonably excited by it 😆

[@pirjokoponen1517]

💙🩵❤️

[@michaelalexander349]

It was confirmed that he was waring a nudity cover generaly used in movies for the actors.

[@maestrobash7822]

I think the windows logos are blurred because they didn't have permission to use the trademark at this point, but Microsoft has since made positive comments about the performance, so I assume its fine to not censor the logos in the future (?).

[@AnneKroger]

No, EBU-yes-rules is the reason of blurring. Microsoft has nothing to do with it. They are fanboys and girls☺️

[@maestrobash7822]

@@AnneKroger Oh so its like you can't "advertise" a company in your performance? Fair enough.

[@AnneKroger]

Yes, EBU doesn’t allow any trademarks.

There was never any suggestion Microsoft didn't like it. He said early on that they sent him some Microsoft socks.
