I think that Käärijä should win UMK and if he does, I think he could win the whole Eurovision. It all depends on his live performance.

I love the self-irony in Cha cha cha, the guy is not taking himself too seriosly. This could come from Iceland too - but not from Sweden 😁 The story of the ESC uni course was great! I once tried to explain the deeper meaning of ESC to some American friends, showed some examples, the guys were left a bit confused :P

I believe Käärijä is more about "Kääriä Rahaa" So "roller" would be a better translation, or maybe "High Roller" "rolling in the cash" So to speak.

It summons up the whole Feeling about Comments online or about some Singers or ESC in general even before ESC. (The Hate Bashing.) And it is Part Heavy not Rock. Different Things. ROMANIAVhas Rock. Finland is the Motherland of Heavy Metal.

Great reaction! Cha cha cha

*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.

Käärijä is someone who "kääriä" a lot. Most common uses are making a joint or wrapping a handmade tobacco. Of course he might mean making summer roll but I doubt it.

@theAblabab

Жыл бұрын

To "kääriä" means to "roll up something". In Käärijä's case he used to be (and I guess to an extent still is) really into gambling, and the joke's that he's "rolling up stacks of cash". Actually he mostly loses but that's the joke. That's my understanding

@donkeybridge

*Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha tulkintaa* Tässä on kohtuu selkeästi nähtävissä kaksi olotilaa. Elämässä ahdistunut ja sitten vapaa olotila. Tässä näkee ainoaksi ratkaisuksi alkoholin, tiettyä epätoivoa havaittavissa. "Jäinen ulkokuori" voidaan taas nähdä kulttuurillisena ongelmana. Lopussa "maailmanpelko" on kadonnut. Tässä voi kohtuu nähdä kans vaikka ahdistuneen nuoren. Myös identiteettikysymys voidaan nähdä tulevan esiin. Mitä uskaltaa, jos ei ole humalatilassa? Onko kulttuurimme salliva vai sulkeva? Näkyykö tässä stereotypia miesten tunteiden ulospäin näyttämisen vähyydestä? Onko kyseessä yhteiskuntakriittinen kannanotto "kevyen vitsin" muotoon paketoituna?
