Music writers: So, do you want a song that's, techno, pop, hard core, dance, rock, or something like cha cha cha cha? Käärijä: Yes.

I LOOOOOOVE THIS!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Techno, rock, rap, pop, metal🔥 And Käärijä has a great sense of humour! We have a winner here in our umk😀

Perfectly pronounced Käärijä! 🔥 This is one of the best UMK songs ever. I hope we will send this.

Why do people genuinely like this? It's lyrics are horrible, it's vocals are average, it's production is average. There is nothing good about this song, all it can be given credit for is the fact it's weird and different. It's just noise.

It really shocked me!!!

This is definitely the BEST so far! Not just a pop song and there's features of rock and EDM in the there. The other don't feel Finnish enough if you get what I mean. The spirt of Finland is in him!

This had the same impact on me as Hatari. I don't listen to this type of music, but I'm literally obsessed with their songs! I love it!

This is absolutely mental and I love it haha 🤣 🍾🥂👊🏻🥊😅🕺

Feels like this is a song about (many) Finns. Hanging in a bar when it's weekend, being shy at first and after having enough drinks, not being shy at all and dancing trough the night having much fun. I love that this is in Finnish and it's soooo unique! At the end of the song, almost everyone seems to be confused and smiling and wants to watch it again. 😍

Theres not been another song which has gotten such a reaction from people. Its so freaking good!

This is probably my favourite song so far, had it on repeat since the first time I heard it

Great reaction, Jude! 😄 At first listening I was like wth is this but it took maybe once or twice to fall 4 it! 😄 It's just so chaotic and crazy it's perfect 🔥🎯 I love Lxandra's ballad a lot too, but this just blows every other entry out of the water. Käärijä it is!

Käärijä! The Wrapper! Punched like CHA CHA CHA! 🥳🥊Rooting hard!

I thought Benjamin takes my vote... GOSH! How wrong was I!! I will most def vote this in UMK!

This song makes everybody so happy! It's nice to watch other people's reaction :D

He is a man who is a serious and tough guy. But when he drinks a pina colada at the bar during the evening, his protection is broken. When enough alcohol has been drunk, he dares to break free to dance. So that's why it's aggressive rap first and turns into dance. :)

This is like made for a eurovision parody film, like the one already produced. Would fit perfectly. So much fun🤩😎

Love love LOVE this! It has to go to Eurovision PLEEEASE!

Every song is so good!! UMK is gonna be the best NF. I actually think this song would probs be their best choice - I can see it standing out and doing amazing at Eurovision.

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD OMG, I get winner vibes from this😍😍😍🏆🏆🏆

It's giving Eurovision Top 5...this HAS to win UMK, i absolutely love this. The way it develops into this dance pop track and still picks up some of thr heavy parts in the end is genius. Absolutely love it, best song of this esc season so far.

*Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha Interpretation* I think this could somehow be interpreted multiple ways. I see character development under alcohol. When the person drinks alcohol, he can forget the sad stuff and stress, but also to feel himself! Alcohol tends to erase social pressure and etiquette! And in Finland, we have/had a some kinda stereotype where men are not supposed to show emotions. This could be seen as a critique against societal and cultural norms! To say one should be able to feel comfortable to let themselves out fully, without fear. Also, it was mentioned that he doesn't fear the World anymore, when he got drunk. This just enforces the interpretation. I can see young man who is anxious and maybe afraid of the world. Possibly lonely, but having an inner rebel. In a bit shy, reserved society like Finland there's a stereotype that we don't talk till we are drunk or smth like that. In the end, he is drunk and the other side of him, careless and free sode of him takes the control. And in the end, it wins. Controlled self is no more. And yes, could be pinpointing Finland's alcohol culture too.

This is the best song from UMK because its different. You have to be different to be successful in Eurovision. Anyone can do a song like Robin's or the others that have been released so far. Eurovision fans will either hate or love Käärijä but in my opinion, this is the clear favorite for me to represent my country.

wau, kiitos.. you van speak finnis :)

Bop !!! Keira, Benjamin and now this wahou 😍

I like all of the songs so far, despite hating them at first🥰

This song is pretty good. It is super catchy, I love the Finnish lyrics, the video really fits the song and is really well-produced, the song is also very well-produced, I like its instrumentation, it has a great progression, I do like it’s dark vibes, I like its chaoticness, the bridge is super interesting compared to the rest of the song and overall it is a pretty good song. It does miss some polish for me and a little bit of impact. It does stand out compared to the rest of the running. It is something I would listen to for sure. A pretty great entry overall. It is a 7/10 for me.

Scary in a good way!!!!

UMK today is the one of the best nfs

Hi again! I'll tell you here yesterday song analysis and today analysis. Yesterday we had Lxandra I liked her ballad and lyrics were good. In my opinion it was the best yet, but can it achieve its way to the Eurovision? Maybe or maybe not not sure yet. Today we have Käärijä. To be honest I was surprised about the chorus and the beat that this song has I liked it a lot, but coming to lyrics I didn't really liked but the chorus is catchy and I love it. Is this going to be in Eurovision? Maybe by little chance but not 100% sure tho. But we'll see we'll see. :D

If that would be a single, I would put Turmion Kätiköt on the other side: "Tuska Utopia // Turmion Kätilöt: Naitu - live"

OMG 😂😂😂

ban ban ban banger.

It's weird this one should be right up my alley but from the first impression it was the least impressive one... Idk if it's since the other ones were genres I hear less and we're good that they impressed me more but yea Still really solid and iconic

I hope it wins, but I fear it won't and Finland plays it safe again like last year.

My TOP 5 from UMK 2023 (so far): 1. Käärijä - "Cha Cha Cha" 9/10 2. Keira - "No Business On The Dancefloor" 8/10 3. Benjamin - "Hoida mut" 7.5/10 4. Lxandra - "Something To Lose" 7/10 5. Robin Packalen - "Girls Like You" 5/10

I like the more melodic ending as such. It's just that it's so heavily autotuned that I'll never be the biggest fan of this one.

Why even include the sound in your video if you're going to make it completely worthless? :D It doesn't really add to the video...

I would be disappointed if this wins, there are much better and listenable options in UMK

Why do people like this? It's just loud and messy, nothing special. The vocals are average, the production is average and the lyrics are lazy. This is the worst song in the national final.

It's a party song and not something Finland would usually send (the song is in finnish and Finland usually goes with safe, boring songs sang in english). Every year Eurovision needs one of these weird songs that some people absolutely love and others hate. I think this fits the category well.

I like Benjamin's song too but it's not memorable. It's a radio friendly song and very catchy but there's a lot of songs in Eurovision and I think it wouldn't really stand out. I think people would remember this song and if the performance is good, who knows what place Finland could take in Eurovision (assuming we would qualify to the final). Moldova always sends these kinds of crazy songs to Eurovision and last year they finished 10th. I don't see why Finland couldn't do the same.
