CRAZY Käärijä REACTION BY EUROVISION MEDIA CENTRE // EUROVISION 2023

[@mr.meatsoup5639]

Käärijä won in public votes, that makes him the winner in our eyes. 2023 will be remembered for Cha Cha Cha.

[@lissu2217]

Käärijä on voittaja ilman pisteitäkin .Kun katsomme tämä video ja miten iloisia olette mekin tulemme iloiseksi. Cha Cha Chaa on ilo ja juhla .Rakastamme teitä .Tervetuloa joskus vierailu Suomeen Cha Cha Chaa 💃🇫🇮💚

As Finn i'm crying of happiness of everyone tryin gto sign in Finnish!

[@vop4813]

Oops the typos

[@poolmoorang]

It is an interesting language. Just difficult to learn.😅

[@ketsune23]

@@vop4813 I wanted to learn Finnish but there is not enough good literature in english

[@User-wr5qz]

It's so hard to learn! Even as half Finnish it's like a mountain impossible to climb

[@tommilaitinen5555]

Finnish starts with pronounciation or "singing along" like I just heard someone doing. Once you learn that every letter is spelled out like in German, the speaking part becomes easy. Vocabulary is another challenge, but if you just learn words enough, you could be able to have a conversation. The grammatic is something even not all Finns learn, at least not in perfection. It was interesting to see, that Käärijä made so many foreigners want to sing along, and they did. It was also interesting to see, that some foreigners, even Americans had enough time and interest to start learning Finnish, at least some bits with Duolingo or watching KZbin videos where Finns are teaching the basics of the language. My linguist friend said to me once that how come Finnish is so difficult. Children of under one year of age start babbling both English, Swedish and Finnish at about the same age. There are no big differences, but languages are coded, they have their own inner logic that you should understand. When you do that, the code is broken, and you will do just fine with the language. I adore these reactions from the audience and media. Like already said, this is absolutely insane seeing that. First of all, this is at least for me like Finland was playing soccer against England in World championships In London and English crowd would start chanting: "Suomi! Suomi!" ("Finland! Finland!") It would mean that Finland has stolen hearts of the English people, and that is just really hard to understand. Perhaps some people can somehow get the point of the craziness that is going on. Underdog, the shy guy (Finland) from school (ESC), just got contacted by the most sweetest and beautiful girl (audience) of the school saying: "I like you". The girl that has been surrounded by the most gorgeous and popular boys... Only once did one really ugly guy get such attention, and then it was thought it was out of pity. I do think the national final performance in UMK was even more iconic. Putting that performance on a bigger stage was difficult, but obviously it worked just fine 🙂

Omg the vibes in there love it! 🫶🏻💚

[@Craigy2818]

He received 71.48% of the telephone votes 😭😍 does he know, yet?

[@MRiitta]

That means the juries decide who will be the winner ... The number of jury members is counted in hundreds and the the number of the public in millions.,. Do we want this going on in the future. Nowadays in all competitions in the world only public is voting..no juries. Only ESC has these juries who ruin the spirit of this competition.

[@Pandariini.]

Is this true? :o

[@Tianda1111]

Käärijä made us happy and dance in all over Europe, even outside of Europe💚❤

[@johnny11415]

Loreen may be queen of the jury but Kaariya is king of the people when a song brings people together like this is it so amazing!

[@moimiau4256]

I’m crying my eyes out, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT this has been amazing 😭💚

[@pamelakilponen3682]

And with KÄÄRIJÄ, the world learns some Finnish. People's Winner all the way!!

[@madalinaanton3253]

This voting was a hell of a mess, both the jury and the public. People meme voting for Poland, so few for Serbia, 5 points for Spain, loreen winning because of the jury, I love her but her win makes me feel so sad, I was actually surprised to find myself hope Israel or Italy would take over if Finland wasn't able to. I cannot be happy for her because there were better songs that would've won without her.

[@tywinlannister]

Actually people didn't meme vote for Poland, Polish diaspora did, check the results

[@madalinaanton3253]

Ok, that's even worse. Never trust polish people I guess 🤷

[@user-sg4ov7ng4h]

@@tywinlannister and ive seen her eurovision video, surprisingly plp do like her a lot..

To be fair Polands performance in the finals was the best live she has done with that song. It was no fine wine, but then again plenty of people prefer a simple light beer.

[@jangoco1123]

no way ur saying that serbia should've got more, this was the worst performance out of all, i coudnt hear half of words he said

[@Atte093]

The real winner of Eurovision...

[@JohannaJuutinen]

I just watched this now and cried. It seems incredible how the support of the press was on Käärijä's side. A big thank you to all of you for that, you made history that will not be forgotten. The wrapper didn't win because the professional jury didn't like him, but the people loved and still do. One of the most unprepossessing performers created a reaction that will hardly be repeated in the next few years. The wrapper's authenticity is profound and it shines outward. Thank you for this, this made me feel really good and one lovely person jumped there. I will follow your posts because I already noticed in your comments the wonderful authenticity that we all miss these days. A wonderful summer to all of you truly, you are amazing!

[@MRiitta]

What is a competition where 75 % of the public votes is not enough to win. Well..that's called ESC!

[@cptCory]

Had Finland been alowed to win it would have been an expensive day for the betting agencies. Furthermore Eurovision would not be able to celebrate 50 years of ABBA in Sweden next year, wich they have been pushing through european tabloids ever since Sweden launched Loreen as their performer. Not drawing any conclusions, just pointing out the facts.

[@marijasumski4624]

I "forsed" my husband to watch Eurovision 2023 with me. Besides our national band Let 3 and their Mama ŠČ, Kääriä's Cha cha cha was the only song that he found interesting. For someone who did not follow each song from the day of release, I think it says a lot.

[@Hairysteed]

Yeah, so the jury basically ripped the trophy off of Käärijä's hands and gave it to Loreen for her recycled Euphoria V2.0, but here are a few of facts: - The audience overwhelmingly voted for Käärijä. - The crowd was chanting "Käärijä, Käärijä!" and "Cha Cha Cha!" during the counting. - Jury don't download songs or buy tickets. - Käärijä did better than any other Finnish Eurovision entry besides Lordie - Finland still got into NATO before Sweden 😜

[@Haarukka_]

Sweden needed to won because of the Abba's anniversary. Nothing special about the sweden win, Finland won, sweden is shit. We Will see tomorrow who is the real winner at the latest, during our ice hockey match

[@fedsavi]

why is getting into NATO good lol?
