Interesting fact - the falsetto guy, Henri Piispanen, is one of the producers of No Rules who got roped into performing after helping on the demo. He also does voice acting and can be heard in the Finnish version of Bluey (Aussie Award winning animated tv show).

yeah it's kinda funny how he got dragged deeper and deeper into it by accident and suddenly he's performing in Malmö for millions of people

In Finnish selection the televote has 70% percent of the power. Maybe it is not just choosing "same type as Käärijä", but just choosing the entertaining fun stuff? Because that is how Finnish people are. A stoic and seriousw outside with a fun loving party animal inside. I feel now the Finnish people are sending the acts we want to send to be entertained and nobody actually care about winning. Because that in itself would also be pretty much in line with the Finnish mentality.

Thank you for this comment! This year, Finnish voters don't care about juries, it is only about being happy with representing Finland and Finnish taste. Playing for the juries is not what anyone wants to do anymore. Teemu and Henri capture everyone's hearts when they're on stage and that's more satisfying and entertaining than sending a pretty radio ballad the juries like.

Their SPA remix on the Eurovision channel is quite something 😊

Thank you for your reaction! You found some ideas behind the song and the staging, but let me explain with more details! It’s an anthem for being who you are 🌈🎉🎊 And at the same time it’s a birth story based on Kalevala, the Finnish mythology🦅🥚 I like the message of the song and how it combines the Finnish mythodology Kalevala where the world is created from the goldeneye’s’ egg. In the stage performance the singer Henri represents the bird (see the similarity of the movements the clothing and Kalevala inspired boots) and the Windows95man is born (as all humans) naked. The stage coordinator tries in the middle of the song give the rules to our hero but he throws those in the air. He doesn’t know he cannot be naked! The camera men and their angels try to hide him! He wants to be free and understand who he is despite what the others want him to be! Finally his jorts descent from the heaven (mythodology) and our guy becomes Windows95man and starts the party with cheerful fireworks!💥 DJ Windows95man have been dj:ing now 11 years already and he is also a visual artist and using Windows95man outfit (denim shorts and windows95 t-shirt and cap) since over a decade. Henri Piispanen is professional singer and voice actor. Check out KZread for his bands “Pasa” and "Kontio Polar". The guys met while doing this project and liked each other’s and decided to participate in ESC. The people of Finland want people to have fun and if we win we do it our way. We once did it with Lordi 2006 - but do you know why? Since that year they didn't have juries, only public voting! Windows95mans win has nothing to do with Käärijä as finnish people wanted to send song to the Eurovision that people like and represent the Finns - a little strange, crazy but funny (the happiest country in the world for 7 years now)! 🎊🎉🤩 Believe in love, share happiness, don’t take ESC too serious - enjoy and have fun! 😃

​@@voyageraustralia Amorphis is still all about Kalevala. The Bee for example is about the story of how god Ukko sent a bee to blow life back in Lemminkäinen after his mother had fetched him back from Tuonela (the place where dead go) and sewing him back together. Silent Waters was about this story too, but from the mother's pov.

Nice T-shirt! 😉

Watching UMK live was quite something. Windows96Man (Teemu Keisteri) came last in the jury vote but then swept the televote to win by 40 points. Also, the uncredited singer is voice actor Henri Piispanen. He initially agreed to record the demo but said that he would not record the official version or perform it live. Teemu, however, thought that Henri was the perfect fit for the song and didn't think that anyone could perform it as well as him, so quite sneakily released the demo as the official studio version and convinced Henri to join him on stage

Windows95man is born in 1985, this song is the most cheesiest Eurovision jam I’ve ever heard. I love it 😂

This year, we're not here to win, just entertain. 😉 If Käärijä can't win with all the work he put in, then nothing we send has a snowball's chance in hell. So here you go, a breather from the seriousness.

Käärijä t-shirt 😍 Danny you are a legend!

Great to see Danny is on the mend, I'd love to see Voyager's reaction to Baby Lasagne, to me at least it has the same sort of manic tongue-in-cheek Rammstein vibe as Käärijä (aka Sprout Boy and the Human Centipede). Just one other request - if you do Eurovision reactions next year, please don't dress like Windows95Man 😁

How about rating their T-shirts? I dig Alex's Devin Townsend shirt 🙌

I can't wait for more

It was a slight effort fom us Finns to drag Swedes 20 years forward in Eurovision - no more "loo-singing". Yet still being in their comfort zone, the last century... Awaiting for ESC returning to it's roots in Switzerland next year - the founding member and first winner in 1956 with Lys Assia! ❤

Im an old Eurovision kind of guy, I dont listen to any of the entries until semifinal 1. Only the swedish one ofcouse, me being swedish and all watching Melodifestival, so I know our song before. I grew up when there was no internet and if the artists played their song before Eurovision week they got DQ:ed, and there were no semifinals back then. Only between 19 to 23 countries were competing, it was in the time when there was Sovjet Union and Yugoslavia instead all all the countries that we have now. My first Eurovision that I saw and understood what it was, was back in 1981 when I was 9.

He was a newborn and they do not wear cloths as you know and he didn't either knew that he had to wear pants. The singer is the bird who laid the denim egg. The papers he throw away were the rules he should abide by, but he don't care about rules as life is so restricted with all rules. Windows95man is his stage name has nothing to do with the song itself. Greetings from Finland and I LOVE your Käärijä t-shirt Danny and plus I love the D&D t-shirt of Scott, but you all looking good and ty for the lovely reaction. 🥰🤣😅❤

Finland showing the juries they just don't care!

You can buy M&S food in Perth? 😲

appreciate the Bottom Live reference... I think haha

funny that Alex is wearing a Devin shirt cause his vocals last year reminded me of Devin

The song itself is not that outstanding. It is fun and upbeat, but not complex or challenging in any way. It is the performance that sells this, and even though ESC is a 'song' contest, performance matters so much more than songwriting nowadays. This is such fun, people will love it, and I'm always all for a party on the stage!

They have awesome reactions, but they not react to Australia this year?

as a finn, i love this as a show, but like he said, i would like it more heavier as well. It would suit well for us

Thank fuck i'm not the only one who thought "did they copy Bottom!? Those are some Piddly Weapons grade Jorts"

the m&s sandwich I always get us the one that is literally just cheese. “farmhouse cheddar cheese” to be precise. but tbf I am insane

Me, a Dutchman, when they mentioned Happy Hardcore: 👀

Fun fact: the Windows 95 startup sound at 2:06 was created by none other than ambient music pioneer Brian Eno

I love this - "Why are we acting like Boomers?!" then 10 seconds later "oh yeah windows 95, great operating system". Was also not expecting a bottom live shout out!

It's euroVISION song contest

lol Cerreah! That Australian pronunciation 😂😅

Eurovision is not a vocal contest or a song contest, because we would know the winner every year, but we do not know. This is a contest between coutries and to entairment people as for you in this video. It

I think it is kinda weird everyone seems so shocked he is wearing nude skimpy shorts as every year there are several very slightly dressed women doing splits with girating men on stage. Some equality needed here. Either everyone is dressed or everyone can give the impression of nudity.

the best part about the concept of windows95man as a character goes as far as "the guy behind the character just decided to wear a w95 tshirt and cap with jorts and call that a character" and not much further than that

It sounds like something that could’ve been produced in FruityLoops on Win95 that’s for sure 😂

I do hope that the denim is flame retardant..!

So… boomer here. Older generation here. I found it amusing. Come on, I know he’s not undressed. But I did watch Finland’s finals and thought there were better songs. I think it’s a finalist based on its originality and humor. I think 2.5 sandwiches is a suitable rating. Turkey club sandwiches with mayo. 😋

Windows95Man is about the shorts and no rules, as rules state shorts are bad. And the shorts with the random wth logo wear is his chaotic pop-prince persona.

nothing todo windows95. its just bcoz these songs filled amateur sunday radios . yues thats easy piecy
