Both juries and televoties put this too high. I get it, it's fun, crazy, party, etc, but for me it's too noisy.

The runner up should've been for Marco.

That's why I hate the current voting system regarding the juries.. WHY do they have to rank ALL songs? Let them rank their personal Top 10 (which should be based on criteria but they will simply just vote for their personal taste in music)...what's the point of them ranking obvious hits and Eurovision anthems last?! - "Cha Cha Cha" might not have been your cup of tea (fair enough, it also missed my personal Top 10) but juries should agree on it being a very competitive, entertaining, original, progressive Eurovision entry accompanied by a mesmerising and well-thought performance.

Placing him Bottom 5 is ridiculous and should put them all to shame
(#mess )

You know that we have exponential Juryvoting since 2018, to prevent heavy Downvotings by a single Juror?

 

[Realest]

Same can be said about Tattoo - it's about performance, gimmicks and being performed by Loreen

No, Tattoo as song alone will easily survive outside Eurovision even without the Performance.

I hope this great result encouraged the finnish delegation to send something in Finnish again next year. I mean, quite almost all my favourites in the past UMK years were in Finnish (Kelle mä Soitan, Ram Pam Pam, Hoida Mut, Ylivoimainen, Sun Numero were all great and all those songs would have been quite succesful Eurovision entries too in my opinion).

If Ylivoimainen would've won this year, Finland would have been my number 1 by a big, big margin! That song is so soft, smooth, nostalgic and melodic. It does something to me. My favorite of the whole season!

 

[MopManMoss]

It was crazy, it was party! Käärijä veti Cha cha chan ensimmäistä kertaa viisujen jälkeen ja sai yleisön sekaisin

Moni pitää Käärijän konserttia Helsingin jäähallissa suurena voitonjuhlana, vaikka Euroviisuissa artisti sijoittui toiseksi.

Kaarija's homecoming concert, lets support him one last time

 

[MopManMoss]

there is not a single man in the audience this like the exact opposite of a spanish eurovision event

 

[heke1988]

Awesome gig! And now the most deserved break and vacation. Thank you once again Käärijä and his Cha Cha Cha Dancers!!

 

[heke1988]

Btw. This year got points for all participating country since 1973 in GF. Even Lordi didn't get points all participating countries in 2006.

 

[moop]

haha. still only came second.

Second highest televoting score ever! Higher combined score than the indisputed Lordi! Käärijä is the GOAT!

In my 2023 top 3, together with Tiril and Vicco. All NQ's from the national selections.

 

[Loindici]

Maybe not everyone here is into Cha Cha Cha, but no one could change the fact that Kaarija is such a fun guy. He seems to be an absolute blast to hang out with.

 

[Loindici]

Loreen is like the Blackpink of Eurovision. I'll give some freedom of interpretation to that.

 

[Ana Raquel]

Loreen is like the Blackpink of Eurovision. I'll give some freedom of interpretation to that.

Why are you saying she will only release a new song in 2027

 

[Loindici]

Why are you saying she will only release a new song in 2027

Because her label sucks, Ana

 

[heke1988]

haha. still only came second.

But still Käärijä was people's champion.

 

[jatojo]

It’s quite remarkable how a whole Nordic nation managed to coordinate a big zero to Sweden. Tactical televoting on that scale is some achievement.
