And then watching all participants reacting to each others' songs. It really makes me smile. I have no clue what they're actually saying :LOL:, but you can still tell exactly what they're thinking.
That's also what I really enjoy year for year! For the first time German's artists did similiar things this year, so I enjoy it quite a lot, no matter what the outcome will be next week. Everyone except Ikke would be fine though. :ROFLMAO:

This is a craziness at ESC that I really like and appreciate. I heard about Cha Cha Cha, but was waiting for today to hear and see it fully for the first time and it really make strong first impression. This performance is very eye-catching, I'd say - don't you dare to change dancers, choreo, colors and face expressions - these elements make this so iconic. And even if I'm not totally into this song musically, this full package right now is the best by far from all selected entries, definitely Top5 contender. My :10: points and :1:place right now goes to :fi:, good luck.

TBH their live gave out this odd Modern Talking old grumpy souls in the disco vibes. I can totally get why it failed with televote.

Please people, don't start with those flamingo dancers. They were out of nowhere there. They didn't portray the contrast they needed to. They were all over for no purpose. They took away what was needed for the entry to tick all boxes as an alternative music bop.

Stop til dawn I beg you. 🤣

Official results (jury/public):
  1. Käärijä: 539 (72/467)
  2. Portion Boys: 152 (28/124)
  3. Keira: 133 (42/91)
  4. Robin Packalen: 109 (28/81)
  5. KUUMAA: 107 (44/63)
  6. Lxandra: 70 (46/24)
  7. Benjamin Peltonen: 66 (34/32)
Definitely same story than in 2021: Käärijä as massive as Blind Channel & Portion Boys doing a Teflon remontada with the televote

Portion Boys were better than Pandora though.

Yeah, those three are all in the top 4 in the odds for Eurovision.

I have given Cha Cha Cha an eight - based on the song not being the UMK song I listen to the most and not being performed to perfection on stage.

Probably absolutely too late for the Party but their purpose was absolutely there. Dancing Cha Cha Cha on stage with a Song called that way even though it absolutely doesn’t Sound like a Cha Cha Cha was Genius. Although I personally would have celebrated even more if they had danced Jive, just for the trolling (Jive is quite similar to Cha Cha Cha though). Just their Outfits were indeed a bit reminiscent of Flamingos and I would appreciate them to Change the colours.

I dont understand this song...
And after I checked lyrics in English today Im confused, lyrocs are so banal and he is in the boxing ring dressed like that and they are dancing Cha Cha Cha in the horrible kitschy clothes with ugly colors, which totally not match to the color of his outfit.. lmao..
I thought maybe it is a Konstrakta moment, thus checked the lyrics, but nope, I didnt find a sense...
Not for me, bit I give :5: for being weird without a reason.. Lmao..

No but seriously from what I understand the song is about being introverted and overworked but then unwinding and coming out of your shell after a few drinks to the point you dont care anymore and just dance the night away, I could be completely wrong about that though lmao

The song is about people incapable to open up. This is a cultural or anthropological problem in Finnish society he sings about.

Though, it's very common in some other European countries as well.

There are some I won't name where people in the course of week are incapable to lead a small chit chat with neigbours or coworkers and then on Friday afternoon they go to pub and drink like crazy to relax and socialize a little. It's one more point he raises in his lyrics.

I love it.

Okay so as an Introvert you are in the boxing ring, and then when you drink 2 pina coladas, Cha Cha Cha dancers appear and you are not an Introvert any more... xcookiexyaaayxcheers
