WTF! 🤯 REACTING TO FINLAND EUROVISION 2024! 🇫🇮 // Windows95man - No Rules!

[@jijitters]

The Finnish voters don't care about juries anymore, they want to have fun and send something they enjoy that reflects what Finnish people are like. This reflects a lot of the sentiment Finns have about ESC right now so it was the perfect time for it to hit just right! It was incredible to watch the sudden switch from last place to an overwhelming first because the audience did NOT care about what the juries wanted at all!

[@Stonefeather53]

The introverted Fins discovered it's fun to party, there is no way stopping them now.

[@madalyn829]

True, I hear this song on every party… Poland likes 90’s music I see :D

[@riahka1357]

This is a perfect middlefinger towards Eurovision and it's rules :D

[@OnatopA]

This IS what we need,fun and positivity😂❤

Why no pants, no trousers? Isn't it obvious? NO RULES!!!

[@ThoNguyen-zr1rk]

Yeah it's quite sexiest that beautiful women look nice with thin underwears but not men 😂

[@juhanyman1802]

As a finn I have to say I'm glad we have another earworm song here to entertain people. Eurovision jury is a joke anyway, so why take things too seriously. Life is short so let's live it to the fullest. 😀

[@PedrotheAmigo]

😆🤣 Embrace the chaos!

[@Ch_Finland]

This song isn't even joke. This song says that everyone can be themselves. There are no rules about who you want to be!

[@ronniemokeev3322]

Exactly! It's camp but also very genuine

I'm glad he won, Finland clearly isn't afraid of not imitating Sweden's last year performance. Thank god.

[@Marios_Gr]

So, they immitated their own last year performance...

[@MrRonski]

@@Marios_Grif you think this anywhere close to Cha Cha Cha you are actually deaf. They are both Fun entries. But completely different

What do you mean by that?@@Marios_Gr

[@t.t.v.6217]

I think the story is from the Finnish national epoc Kalevala, in where the world is born from Goldeneye's egg... same here: Windows95man is born from jeans egg. When he finally get his jean-shorts, the sparkles and joy goes wild! Loving it!!

[@laikasalonen1078]

HAHAHAHAHAJAHA

[@jennypears3081]

❤🎉😊Love some chaos from Finland

[@patrickuotinen]

We choose our own path, as usual.

[@derryanmaster]

I just found that comment under another video and I think it helps a lot to understand the wonderful craziness which you just witnessed. 😄 "This song is an anthem for being who you are 🎉🎊 Love the message and also how it combines the Finnish Kalevala where the world is created from the eagles’ egg, In the stage performance the singer Henri represents the eagle (see the similarity of the movements and the clothing) and the Windows95man is born (as all humans) naked only wearing Kalevala inspired boots. The stage coordinator tries in the middle of the song give the rules to our hero but he puts the instructions flying in the air. He wants to be free and who he is despite what the others try him to be!" Have fun with it 😊

[@07012969]

This is perfect 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SiskoMaSu]

It was so much fun and I love it!

[@Tianda1111]

When you will see them live, you gonna love them❤🎉😊

[@kristel8991]

As a Finn here's my perspective: Sara Siipola was a favorite just based on the music video and song, and people expected her to win. But there was no "Käärijä effect" this year, where one song stood out drastically. The staging for the other songs was a let down, and Windows95 had the best stage show. Sara's live vocals were lackluster, so voters went with the crazy and funny option with a memorable stage show. At least we'll catch the public's eye with the show 🤣

[@ellem8990]

This is 100% what happened. After seeing the rehearsal in person me and my mom knew this would most likely win and it wasn't either of our favourite song before the show at all. The impact on stage was just that big and the shorts appearing in person looked even funnier/better.

[@jijitters]

100% agree with everything you said and I think the other piece of it is that Finnish voters don't care about juries and want to send something Finnish people like rather than worrying what will impress the ESC jury. It's the same message as No Rules itself. In my opinion, it felt like everything just came together for that to be exactly what Finland wanted at this time.

[@ar50000]

​@@ellem8990I saw the short rehearsal clip online, and their staging was the best by a mile.

[@henriikkak2091]

Yes, that's it 🎯

[@NekkuNesto]

There are a lot of people in Finland that are not happy that this song won (over Sara Siipola's Paskana). Personally, this was exactly the type of music I listened to in the 90's, so can't be mad. Love the Justin Timberlake hair and iconic denim clothing and boots 😄 The vocalist, Henri Piispanen, is a voice actor in Finland, including Paw Patrol's Finnish speaking version of Chase.

[@BDog54]

Sara would not have done as well at the Grand Final, people are waay overestimating it. This has the full package to actually standout and be remembered.

[@patrickuotinen]

@@BDog54 agreed, and after Norway selected Gåte, I immediately felt, that they would overshadow Sara Siipola. But Windows95Man is so different, that it can't overshadow him.

[@wellinen]

There is always crybabies!

[@Mandoliinimies]

No-one cares about those who are "not happy" about the result. They are the same people who were yapping how embarrassing Käärijä was last year.

[@nyyminuolivaara]

He also sings the Paw Patrol tune in Finnish.

[@kreps8826]

The song is epic! Having fun in music is not a crime, and does not make it a joke entry! They mean business!NO RULES!

[@villevuorialho590]

Its just good! All the others were this very sad and serious and "cool"-songs. Its allways so serious and melancholic here so it soooooo refreshing!

[@petepeto9335]

Did u say: probably win Eurovision?? 😅😂 I love to see that 😂😂

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Windows95Man was known for doing a plane dance aboard an aeroplane which went viral. The egg and bird feathers on the singer, a Finnish Voice actor called 'Henri' represents the idea of flying. This is what we need from Finland!

[@kuvattelija]

"what the hell was that?" hahahah i was laughing all the time 😂

[@SK-nw4ig]

The artist was not created for this occasion, as are none of UMK artists ever - so he had the name already. The thing is he is a dj and known for his style, that's why the name and the clothing and the mysterious, missing denim hot pants jeans.

[@metsanmorokolli]

This song writed 2005-2006 and it's now published it's part of big mystery

[@Mandoliinimies]

The tune was very nineties. That explains the name.

[@koljolat]

Imagine: Old Volvo spinning and burning rubber and this song blasts on the speakers...LIFE!!!

[@saaranarhi7733]

As you wondered why he is called Windows95man and what it has to do with this song: He is a visual artist and a DJ who loves the 90’s and always plays 90’s music on his gigs. In 2013, he had a gig at the Flow festival in Helsinki and as he was looking for a stage outfit he came across a Windows 95 t-shirt, went and bought it and the rest is history. Windows95man has been his stage name as a DJ and he’s been wearing the same outfit (those skimpy denim shorts and a Windows t-shirt) for a decade, so the character was not invented just for the UMK and Eurovision. The character and the name basically have nothing to do with this song, other than the fact that ”No rules” has always been his motto as he wants to do things his own way rather than follow the latest trends. The vocalist is Henri Piispanen, a singer and voice actor best known for his role as Chase in the Finnish version of the Paw Patrol.

[@esc1074]

Im loving this😂. Thanks Finland 🎉

[@e.m.p.i.r.e-experte1014]

[3:32] ”’No Rules!’ and there has been no rules!” is a good conclusion to that performance. 😃

[@hennahallikainen711]

Windows 95 man is DJ and famous about his toooooo short denim shorts. Vocalist is his producer and voiceactor. He was not even supposed to attend this act, but before deadline they could not find any other to hit those high notes.

[@helky8]

Love it!! ❤❤

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Well, you know how it is. It's Saturday and you're going out to party, but your favorite and only party pants haven't dried up yet after you've washed them. Maybe the air has been humid, whatever, who knows, but then they dry up just in time, you put them on and it's like you got magic in your pants.

[@lemonielala3080]

As a finnish person this was not my favorite but on the other hand I didn't have one. Käärijä was superior last year and had excellent show last night as well. I wish we would send him again.

[@CSherry247]

[@juupajuu60]

im so glad we finns did not vote because of jury's and media (hint hint last year)

[@toinenosoite3173]

Why W95M? Well, it is such a typical 90s Eurodance hit.

[@henriikkak2091]

Eurovision, at its best, is freedom of expression and celebration of cultures. This act is the former and as such, I think, a huge middle finger to autocratic regimes. Think about what Russia stands for -- lack of freedom and rights including minority rights, suppression, the destruction of European cultures... ESC and the "No Rules" entry represents everything that Russia is not. I don't think that the 1990s reference is a coincidence either. That was a time of freedom in Eastern Europe and plenty of people feel nostalgic about it.

[@minna6446]

Yep, this is inroverted Finnish,,,something 👍😂

[@nzkid2599]

They are SO RANDOM!

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Windows 95 man Made this because He misses the 90s As He said the time before social media Was a better more simpler time, He is going to have to change he's name for the competition though and won't be able to wear the windows logo As you are not allowed to advertise and it breaks copyright, I love this song it sounds very Euro 90s

[@perlaserrano1791]

But he is advertising Windows 95 which is not a product you can purchase anymore. Are you sure he has to change his name for Eurovision? Where did you hear that?

I assume you mean the song and not the performance, because the performance was definitely unique lol. Never have I ever seen a man in a nude coloured thong appear out of a jean egg, have his mini shorts appear from above and then have sparks flying from the shorts lmao, I love it.

[@TheMmm79]

It's a parody of 90's songs, that's why it sounds so familiar "Isn't this E-type... No.. Günther...? Nooo, what is this?!" 😂

[@inx9545]

Finno-Ugric mythology In the Finnish national epic, Kalevala, the world is born from the egg of the goldeneye bird. For the first time in the Eurovision-song, clothes are put on, not taken off. 👍🏻🇫🇮

[@esamakela3863]

nice...

[@JoseSantos-sf4uz]

I guess Andy was so disturbed by this entry that he said more "bad words" in this reaction than in his entire history of eurovoxx reactions....

[@rinjoo3]

On the surface this seems like just another chaotic funny-song on stage on first watch, but the staging actually has so many clever details (easter eggs 😄) and everything is quite well planned. Windows95man is just artist name he has had for a long time and has nothing to do with the song really. And his "brand" is kind of that shirt and jeans (which is why everything is covered in denim). And the song has important message too, "do not care about what others say about you and do what you want to do". That egg could refer to the birth of the world in Finnish mythology and he is born from it in the beginning. Which is why he doesn't have pants at first and then gets them on later. We had shirtless men for two years in row so why not pantless one too. The ropes that bring down the pants are eagle-shaped (there are eagle sounds in the song). Also the dancers/the one audience person are intentionally blocking the view to his legs untill he gets the pants, and that really requires precise camera work. And the "no rules" does not really refer to being pantless, but instead to when he talks to that "director" person and throws away the papers and then starts playing with the pyros when he gets his pants. For me the song is good and very catchy (and one of the best songs chosen for Eurovision so far this year), but its one of those songs that some people are just going to hate 🤣. I voted for Sara Siipola -Paskana, but she did not sing very well live so i can see why this won instead of it. This is not really Käärijä copy, its more of a big middle finger to Sweden and juries from Finland 😎.

[@arieleen9216]
