Oh really? They've always been assholes, have they? Juries put a stopper in block voting, and reduce novelty act impact. They also help make sure that smaller countries (like mine!) stand a chance. Iceland and the UK got their placings largely thanks to the juries.
Actually, it placed twelfth in the semi-final. But that year, rather than the top 10 going to the finals, the juries selected the tenth song to go to the finals.
I remember after I saw the music video thinking that this might win. I was amazed when it finished last in the final. The chorus is so good. If Cascada had recorded it, it probably would've been a hit. Admittedly, the live version of this song was a bit sketchy, but, still. Finland were robbed that year, I feel.
My winners on 2009!!! The voices of the girls and the harmonies are brilliant, and the staging is awesome!!! This song was very underrated and should have been the summer hit!! For everyone who thinks that a electronic dance song can´t be performed live!!!
Keep listening in 2021. 2009 edition is one of the best Eurovision contests ever. Thank you so much Finland for this masterpiece ✊🏻❤️ One of the 1st songs that made me love Eurovision 😪🙌🏻 Hugs from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
This is such a 2009 song and performance, I don't know how to put it better. If I remember correctly, this song was moderately popular in Iceland that year.
I remember first hearing this song in November 2008 and being blown away, I knew Finland had to choose it and when Waldo's People won Euroviisut 2009 I hyped them up and went through their back catalogue with all the hits in late 90s they had in Scandinavia. Sadly the 2 blonde backing vocalists didn't do any favors, one of them was out of sync during the first chorus but the staging and LED screens with trains were still awesome, last place came as such a shock to everyone! and then it was revealed they were the jury wildcard in 1st semifinal actually placing 12th, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! On a brighter note... this song still holds the record of highest scored last placed song in a final! also narrowly peeped in UK Top 100 chart at #100, I'll never get bored of this song, still a dead catchy bop.
It is a very good song. I loved it from day 1. Maybe people hated the staging and I can't blame them for that. Could've been better. But if a song is heard after a decade then it has succeeded. No matter what
This was the first year that I saw eurovision and since I have not stopped seeing it every year. I remember that I liked this song a lot, I don't know how it could end in the last position.
RESPECT WALDO'S PEOPLE ♥ For me one of the best esc entries, really. They were amazing, the song and voices. The problem is they were underrated. Iceland deserved at least a top 10. Hope they come back to Esc! An Argentinian fan here :)
He's Waldo himself, and he's always looked like that. His "thing" is rapping with a heavy overly macho finnish accent on top of happy euro-dance and he's been doing it for a loooong time.
Logan Does Stuff. I'm Norwegian :) Well, I understand what you mean :) But he Is very good at what he does ! He Is skilled :) By the way, both Capri Virkkunen and Karoliina Kallio are very good singers !!! Then the third women who sings is doubtful ! It also sometimes sounds as If the three female artists are not singing in time !!!!! But he does a very good job ! :)
Finland so underated love there entries like 2006 2008 2009 2014 2021 2022 and of course Its Crazy its Party Cha Cha Cha 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
I really love this song and I think that if it was one of the songs in this year's competition and not in 2008- it could get really really really high!
Considering the massive amount of brilliant tracks that were included in that year's edition, it's kind of understandable how this mastery finished last. However, it is my number one! Go Euro Dance
As an American, my taste in music must be vastly different from that of a European. I've been listening to this song for years before knowing it was from Eurovision. Can't believe it got last!
Us finns' problem is that we're always few years ahead of our time. If we would've had send waldo's this year, we most likely would've won. 90's is in right now.
Snofey1 Well that’s kinda true. Had you sent Paradise Oskar in 2013, you’d have gotten a good place. Had you sent Softengine in 2016, you might’ve been Top 5
I'll never understand how this song came last when it's one of the catchiest Eurovision entries I've ever heard.
TheUrbanJedi jury are assholes. And always have been
+Fusun Patel LOL, this qualified because of the jury!
Oh really? They've always been assholes, have they? Juries put a stopper in block voting, and reduce novelty act impact. They also help make sure that smaller countries (like mine!) stand a chance. Iceland and the UK got their placings largely thanks to the juries.
It may well be catchy and I like the recorded version, but none of them are capable of singing live!
Eurovision dont like rap
Criminally underrated. This is the best "last place" song of all Eurovision contests
Yes of course😎 it should have won that year 👍
I have no idea how this came last. Must be judged on other things I don't understand or something. Who knows. Great song though
Also "Stay" by Tooji🇧🇻
Hmm Germany 2015 🤣
Like Rockefeller Street in 2011
As a Finn, im still 11 years later salty that this came last :(
It's one of my fave ESC songs anyway ☺
Think that it would be worse, Finland was 12nd on semi-final 1 but finally qualified because of juries
I'm from sweden and I don't understand it either. This is one of the best through all the years!
The best last placed song in the history of ESC
That is actually factual
Under that score system that is correct
Very underrated! Amazing song!
Esc Mike I agree
nice
Esc Mike Just curious wich position you think they end up before the final
Even after 7 years I'm still wondering why this song was last place
Actually, it placed twelfth in the semi-final. But that year, rather than the top 10 going to the finals, the juries selected the tenth song to go to the finals.
The live performance was not good enough.
marycat _ true

Make it 11 years.
One of the most underrated ESC Songs ever!! :(
One of my favorite song from Eurovision 2009. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪🇫🇮❤🎵
Sent by Finland: Last place
Sent by Sweden: OMG IT’S AMAZING! And finishes in the top 7
Good song poorly performed. I think this one was completely underrated. So typical situation for Finland (1994, 1998, 2011).
I'd argue 2012 and 2013 as well, but definitely not 2015 or 2016.
Dont see anything poor in this performance.
Finland got so bullied during those years. Nowadays it's a different story, but Swedish hegemony still prevented us from winning a second time.
I have it in my workouts and people get so energetic when this song plays! Awesome 👍
2009 was a strong year. Loved these songs
Hey queen👑✨✨✨
I don't care it came last, still listening to it.
2009 was one of my favourite Eurovision years ever. Great songs, staging, even the last place song was pretty good
Have you heard the last placed songs in both Semi Final from Czechia and Latvia?
@@Gumboliniztbf, 2009 had some the best and worst songs in eurovision lmao
My winners on 2009!!! The voices of the girls and the harmonies are brilliant, and the staging is awesome!!! This song was very underrated and should have been the summer hit!!
For everyone who thinks that a electronic dance song can´t be performed live!!!
I like everything about this song and still in my head in 2020
Best Finlands song ever... 2021 still listening ❤️
Omg! How this was last! 😭
Boyz Plays my country's music is always so underrated
HeidiTheChubbyBunny Finland produces very great music
one of the most underrated esc songs ever!

aman ako ti je ova trešina pobjednik...

eurodance is sooooo underrated
Right. This and Iceland 2008 were truly underrated.
So underrated!! Amazing song! 😍
agree!
Still listening to this. I love it!
I was like is Celine Dion on the stage? :D
hahahahahahahahah
This is such a 2009 song and performance, I don't know how to put it better. If I remember correctly, this song was moderately popular in Iceland that year.
LOVE THE FINNISH ACCENT. ITS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND CLEARER THAN MOST OTHERS.

"Sadly the 2 blonde backing vocalists didn't do any favors, one of them was out of sync during the first chorus" - WTF? One of them was Capri!
This was the first year that I saw eurovision and since I have not stopped seeing it every year.
I remember that I liked this song a lot, I don't know how it could end in the last position.
Still shocked this ended last. Love from Cyprus❤
RESPECT WALDO'S PEOPLE ♥
For me one of the best esc entries, really. They were amazing, the song and voices. The problem is they were underrated. Iceland deserved at least a top 10.
Hope they come back to Esc! An Argentinian fan here :)
What a bop in 2023 ❤️🔥😍🇪🇸
This song is insane, I love it! Finnish E-Type, LOVE from Sweden! Kiitos
i keep coming back to this i love this song
I LOVE this song and still listen to it. This was the best Finish entry ever. But staying killed it! Off-key moments all over.
This song is just so happy!
They deserved more than last place
E o melodie făină și ritmată. Nu știu cum de s-au clasat așa de rău. Oricum pentru mine e winner👍
Its Crazy its party
This song is soooooo E-Type!
I love it!
The rapper looks like an ageing dad trying to be cool in front of a school yard.
He's Waldo himself, and he's always looked like that. His "thing" is rapping with a heavy overly macho finnish accent on top of happy euro-dance and he's been doing it for a loooong time.

I been looking for this song in a couple of weeks already
υπέροχο τραγούδι, τραγική παρουσίαση...
Slayy Finland😭😭🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
This song #1
Very catchy Eurodisco from the Finns. Underrated as all hell.
Great song!!!! I still can't understand why was.so underrated...
So underrated! Was my favorite!
I'm Irish and I loved this! I will never ever understand how it didn't do much much better in the voting.
Finland deserved to win! Greetings from România 🇷🇴! And this moment i listen this song. We are in 2021!
It's fascinating how this feels like a typical Eurovision entry but somehow at the same time very strange and out of left field
Crazy how this finished last.
I really love this song and I think that if it was one of the songs in this year's competition and not in 2008- it could get really really really high!
my favorite song from Finland
Love the fire dancer on stage ♥️ amazing song
A true banger!
It is so catchy, i love it
what a big guilty pleasure
Is this the first ESC entry to sing about mental health?
Amazing amazing amaziiiing😀😀😀
My winner.
11 vagy 12 év ide oda, nekem nagyon tetszett, fantasztikus előadók a dal super gratulálok!! 😊👍❤️❤️🌹🌹🎵🎶🎤🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯
ESC needs more rap and rappers.
Ja tämä esiintyy meille maalaisille, tykkään ja kiitos että tulette tänne.
Finland desserved more!
Great song. Love from Serbia!
I still can sing to this song even with years passing by and not listening to it.
Kiitos että tulitte tänne pieneen kaupungiin olette mahtavia ja teidän ois pitänyt voittaa euroviisut silloin.
Best Eurovision 2009 entrance!
Considering the massive amount of brilliant tracks that were included in that year's edition, it's kind of understandable how this mastery finished last. However, it is my number one! Go Euro Dance
I like this one.
13 years ago. very catchy song. moscow 2009.
Powerful song very nice...
From Greece 👍👍.
Am i the only one who loves the live performance by the woman
addicted!
underrated song, the chorus is beautiful.. but the verses are crap yas
basil yes i agree. Same was in "Igranka"
Wowzers!
The girl on vocals here has an amazing voice
Her name is Karoliina Kallio. She was one of the Pop Idol contestants in Finland.
She has an amazing voice and sings very well live.
Definitly underrated...Such a rhytmic wonder...
As an American, my taste in music must be vastly different from that of a European. I've been listening to this song for years before knowing it was from Eurovision. Can't believe it got last!
Nice... 👍
her screaming in the last second of the video sounds like when Lara Croft falls off a cliff in Tomb Raider lol
U N D E R R A T E D!!!! MY 10TH OF 2009
Us finns' problem is that we're always few years ahead of our time. If we would've had send waldo's this year, we most likely would've won. 90's is in right now.
Snofey1 Well that’s kinda true. Had you sent Paradise Oskar in 2013, you’d have gotten a good place. Had you sent Softengine in 2016, you might’ve been Top 5
Hm this is not true, it is not ahead of time at all
This kind of songs was very popular in 2008
@@min_mil This kind of songs is popular right now. 😂😂😂
actually this kind of songs were popular in the 90's. It's called europop. I wouldn't call that ahead of time. (Not judging the quality of this song.)
Шикарная песня
2019 ???
Present ! I'm french and I like this sound.
Hi!
1:47 Is raving allowed only at the back of the crowd or what's the deal here? lol
