12 points from Spain. Finland send this to Eurovision please 😍🇪🇸❤️🇫🇮

He SLAYED. Vocals on point. Visuals on point. I'm not the biggest fan of the dancers, like I get the message of it but if at least they wore green like him. Otherwise it's perfect. I was worried for the vocals because the song is difficult vocally but he shut me up. He has to be in Eurovision. Finland is slowly becoming my favourite Eurovision country 😍😍

[goodtitle]

Someone pointed out the fact that the wooden boxes/ crates are called "eurolava" in finnish, and that "lava" is a synonym for stage! So it's a small native language joke how Käärijä is performing on "euro-stage". Quite clever!

[siljelone]

You have got an middle aged metal head from western Norway yelling "Cha Cha Cha" for the past weeks now.
Bloody amazing performance!!

[rtgh]

This was the most iconic performance ever!!! The Cha Cha Cha... GENIUS! This is a stand out anywhere🔥🔥🔥

[hoshiworks_aster]

This is by far and away the best national final performance to come out of 2023. Jere doing that funny little dance in the second half while proudly proclaiming that the world doesn't scare him anymore will never fail to make me smile. 12 points from Malaysia go to Finland!

[SirKratos]

Omg, he actually won! I will definitely vote for this in Eurovision, the best of luck from your neighbors in Norway 😊

[littleduckiiee]

I’m so excited USA gets to vote this year because Finland just got my 12 points! 🇺🇸❤️🇫🇮

[mariajimenezmartinez]

😂😂😂 Well, I am a Spanish "classic" lady of 67 years old. And I must say I like the song, I like the singer, I like the dancers, I like it all and I am surprised because of it!. Of course I also like other countries... France, Sweden, and my own Spain. This year, I think there are many good songs. Good luck Finland! Good luck Sweden, Spain, France. Que gane el mejor!

[vanderLinde]

Possibly my fav entry of all time in eurovison, 12 points from Serbia goes to Finland, this just slaps so hard!!!

[wenny]

I love how Finland dares to send special bangers to Eurovision 🤩 Sweden always sends basic pop, familiar and safe. Waiting for Sweden to send something like this to the Eurovision Song Contest. HE IS AN ICON

[britl]

Imma gonna make sure Finland gets 12 points from the UK

[LydianGang]

I have really grown to loving the shit out of you Finns when it comes to Eurovision. You so often bring some of the weirdest, craziest, most memorable and most fantastic stuff to the table. This song and performance will go down as one of the best for me out of all in Eurovision. Finland better get a televote sweep this year!

[oskarikultanen]

Wow, siis mitä!? Tässä meidän toisteksi, tai ehkä jopa jaetulla paras, sijoitus! Maailman kovin bängeri, mahtavaa Kärtsäri🔥🔥🔥

[mindaltaren]

1.What the..2.What is this..3.Head starting to nod in rythm..4.Confused but starting to love it..5.What the ..smiling but still confused. 6. Smile hurts my cheeks and I am loving it !!! 7.Cant get enough of this song..8 Cant listen to Cha cha cha whilst driving 'cos it correlates with driving speed🤣🤣🤣

[helena.gr.]

We found this year' s televoting winner! Everybody will sing and dance to it in Liverpool. Kaarija is great and the song is original, fun and catchy! I like the crazy dance too! Go for the win Finland! Good luck from Greece.

[juliaortizmolina]

Im in shock... I was not expecting this from Finland. This can really win.

[Julia_and_the_City]

I see they announced the winner of Eurovision 2023 early. Congratulations Finland, no one can possibly top this.

[charalamposkarampelis]

This will win Eurovision 2023 12 points from Greece WITH NO DOUBT!!!

*1. Finland - "Cha Cha Cha" 🇫🇮 (10/10):* This is absolutely fantastic, it's a complete vibe, lyric-wise is magnificent, it's basically the perfect explanation of what happens to yourself when you're drunk, haha. All worries fade and social anxiety to publicly express your enthusiastic nature no longer is an issue. Although it's only 2 minutes and 50-something seconds long, the tempo change mid-song totally elevates it up a level and makes the song feel longer than it actually is, which is a great thing, considering how phenomenal the overall production is. I adore the song's dark-rock and EDM natures, the electric bass and guitar sounds, the beats' quick pacing, the drop's tempo change, the synthesizers, the deep notes, the dark elements in general, EVERYTHING SOUNDS INCREDIBLE, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE, THE STAGING WAS SHOCKINGLY FANTASTIC, THE DANCERS WERE OVER THE TOP AND SPECTACULAR, I WAS SOLD AT THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE AND WE'RE HEADING TO HELSINKY NEXT YEAR! 🇬🇷❤️🇫🇮
