I had so much fun watching this! Really put a smile on my face and I’ve been singing it round the house ever since listening 😊

Let me know which other songs I should be listening to from this years contest!
Another song which might interest you, is Switzerland (Nemo: The Code). The singer is non-binary, and tells their story, how they broke the binary code. They also merge different genres in an interesting way.
San Marino's.
we need to keep supporting this kind of entries, is the spirit of Eurovision!! :D
Qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest with public votes. Received last place from the international jury, but was voted first by the jury from the United Kingdom.
UK jury had no rules 😂
Maybe they realised tha tha tha... That there is no rules.
According to Finnish mythology, the world was born out of an egg. Henri is the bird, and he is also wearing boots inspired by Kalevala (the Finnish epic, where the egg also comes from). Back in those days, the boots would have been made out of birch bark, but here everything is made out of denim! Henri Piispanen is a vocal artist, and has worked on films like Paw Patrol. He is also a singer in a band. This was amazing to see live!
Also Henri started his voice acting career when he was only 4 years old and has been acting in over 200 different cartoons, movies etc. Very talented vocalist on top of that.
Thank you for a very nice reaction. So many people comment and say Henri can't sing and don't understand his singing at all. He really is a good singer.
And cute AF
He's improved immensely, I just watched the London pre-party performance and it was really good!
@@lemonielala3080 yes, his singing was amazing and that falsetto he throws in....the crowd did sing quite high too
The whole performance is just pure fun and what Eurovision is all about, at least for me.
I love that laughter. Immediatedly you got it. That's what we need in the world right now, genuine joy and laughter. And yes, it's a denimegg = farkkumuna.
Let me open the staging, a little bit. Windows95man has worked with that name for 10 years, already, and the very short denim shorts are his trademark. So this is an imaginary tale, how he was born from a denim egg, laid by a denim bird (here played by his vocalist, Henri Piispanen, notice his jacket that looks a bit like the plumage of a bird). As a new-born W95m is naked, and doesn't know that he is supposed to wear trousers, so the cameramen and everybody on the stage do everything to block the view to his crotch. (Of course he isn't actually naked, he is wearing beige-coloured underwear.) Finally, he gets his famous magic shorts, and the party starts. This has also references to the Finnish national epic Kalevala, where the whole world and the universe was born from an egg. The denim boots that Henri wears, are covered with denim that is woven like the traditional Finnish footwear "virsut", which originally were made of birch bark. Then there is of course the message of the lyrics, that could be summarised "be what you are, and don't think about what other people say". So as you see, they have actually put quite a lot of thought to this performance. As a side plot the producer comes to show him the rules, which he throws away, because "No Rules".
They have made also a video for this song, which is also fun, but tells quite a different story.
I love this! Thanks for explaining
Teemu Keisteri is visual artist and DJ, and Windows95Man is his stage name when doing DJing.
The other singer is Henri Piispanen: singer, songwriter and a voice actor. He has originally songwriter and producer on No Rules! and weren't supposed to perform. He agreed to record a demo for the song, but then they couldn't find anyone else who could match his vocal range so the demo turned into finished song.
Well, that was definitely different. I like the song. I hope you are having good weather and a wonderful day. Again, you have brightened my day, thank you. Your beauty is timeless, your personality is a ray of sunshine.
Thank you for your reaction 👍🏻Greetings from Finland 😊
I looooove it ❤❤❤ it’s so much fun🎉
Thank you for your reaction! You found some ideas behind the song and the staging, but let me explain with more details!
It’s a fun entry with deeper meaning lyrics:
Is there something wrong with the way I look?
Is there something wrong with who I am?
If I'm not alright, tell me why do I
Feel so beautiful tonight?
No rules! It's how I live
How I find the wind beneath my wings,
It's how I learn to fly!
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 and also 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 wants to be free and understand who he is despite what the others want him to be! He is looking for his jeans shorts and finally they 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 CZcams 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. Henri doesn’t want to be named/featured in the title as he considers he is shy (like Chris Lowe in Pet Shop Boy) and this is the project of Windows95man.
The other Person is Henri Piispanen. Voice actor here in Finland.
This entry has many meanings. It is not random that the artist is Win'95, because Finland did win in '95 over Sweden. The win in 95 was huge, it was the first world championship in ice hockey, and it was in Sweden against Sweden. Last year the abba mafia proved that there are no rules. Finland won the popular vote by a landslide (most votes ever?), Sweden did not get 12p from any country, and yet the corrupt jury overturned the result just to achieve some trivial story arch of eurovision returning to sweden exactly 50 years after waterloo. Well, if that's how it's gonna be, then we will just shit on that water loo, because there are no rules. But remember the Win of '95! Because we beat Sweden.
Great reactions. I love No Rules and Zorra from Spain!
Never stop the madness😂🇫🇮
I love this song ❤❤
Thanks Nina, great reaction 😅👌 Greetings from Finland 🙂
I love your reaction. Pure joy. 🎉
Thanks, Nina! Greetings from Helsinki! 😂🎉
I think it’s quite funny because Henri can actually sing, but I feel that Windows 95 man is just there for the show 😅
He is the artist behind the show
The egg is a reference to our national epic Kalevala. The world was born from an egg according to that epic.
To me it's a concept of bending the Eurovision rules to the very end.
He originally didn't want to have a shirt on so in the beige underpants he would have been "naked" in the limit of the rules but his wife said no so he now has a Windows 95 t-shirt. Then he uses the fireworks in a way that I think has never been seen or even thought in Eurovision and surely isn't the safest thing to do. Also the egg is very tall and rumors say it's too big for the rules of the stage in Malmö. All this fits the lyrics well and it also fits as a continuation of last years Finland's role in Eurovision so to me it's a good and kinda clever performance though I wouldn't mind if he used some pants😂
Also the song seems to be a bit on the limit like someone tried all he can to make a hyped hit song to the point that it gets funny and it only fits the whole thing very well. Who knows what they bring to the stage later though he talked about only small changes but wouldn't be so sure about that with this guy. They didn't expect to win this.
Probably will not be any kind of jury favorite though thats maybe undeserved because Henri's vocals are good for the competition and probably even better afterwards and the song is catchy. Will need the televotes for a good score
If this is thought even further he also chose the Windows 95 shirt which is right there in the limit of a trademark that can be used now, and this was a little controversy that came to the conclusion that Windows approved the song in their social media calling it "Our winner" and also I think Windows 95 is free to use but I also heard someone talk about that they need to change the logo still. So basically he has gone to the limits of almost every rule about now.
great video. subscribed.
This is just Eurovision and campest camp and brave! I love them
Singing with belly down... guess one has to try now :)
He sing so high, very good singer👏🏼
Oh my good this everything,,,this Man its best, i like🤸♂️〰️〰️🎼😆🤣Thanks this great comment,,,Byee all hear 👋😄🍮🍺👍
You earned my subscribe.
The stagehand tried to show him the EBU rules
Early versions of Microsoft Windows used to have "Easter eggs", where it would tell you the creators of the program. It would have been cool if he started with how the Windows 95 Easter egg started-- "and now, the moment you've all been waiting for... we proudly present for your viewing pleasure..."
Henris voice just work, Man Who doest like To be there
What a wonderful breath of fresh air for me to come across a fellow musician who watches Eurovision purely for the bonkers entries as i do 😂
We wanna see Nina with denim shorth! T: Finland and Windows :3
Also "egg" and "dick" is the same word (muna) in Finnish so the whole thing is a play on these words.
Also the event is in Sweden so Windows95man might be humouring on traditional Finnish jokes about the Swedes being gay.
❤
Last year we sent a guy without a shirt, this year a guy without trousers. Excited for 2025!
And it was a BIG SUCCESS sending ”the guy without a shirt”! 😅 So let’s see how it goes without trousers”! 🤗
2008: shirtless guys
2022: shirtless guy
2023: shirtless guy
2024: pantless guy
@@ELvisLiveS-ok6mq 2006 - ALL THE CLOTHES!!!
I think we all know what that means.
2025: No socks!
Denim egg. It's an inside joke finnish speakers get. It's a certain kind of bulge in a man's jeans. But let's just leave it at that
Hi!!!! Ms.nina have a nice day to you. Greetings from philippines. Could you please react to vanny vabiola cover song don't sleep away this night ❤❤❤thanks and God bless you
I take it he's an old dinosaur hatching from an (90s dinosaur) egg
Hi, check out Let it Burn, live, by Avatar from Sticky Fingers. You woun't be disapointed!
About the last part: Joost lost his father (cancer) when he was 12yo and then his mother a year later (cardic arrest). His dad always tolk Joost that your own world has no borders (like the EU) if you want. That you ould even perform at the ESC if you want (dad I listened to you)
About the burning house, that house represents his youth. He said on tv that ,he will always love his parents, ut to get rid of the pain he should throw away things that are dearest to him.
Did you know Your comment is on windows95man reaction video? Yt acts weird sometimes.
Sister next please react I Love You ( celine dion) cover by Vanny Vabiola.Thanks so much
Hi Nina, good day. I discovered a singer you would love her beautiful voice. She sings possibly better than either Morrisette or Sohyang. Although not as many octaves. She's also very beautiful with very long black hair. She's from Brazil 🇧🇷 so her native language is Portuguese. But she also speaks Spanish, Italian, French and English. Hopefully you listen to her.

I'm guessing BLACKMOON is posting her songs for her. This song is FAITHFULLY on CZcams. Although she streams live on tiktok. If you don't listen to her you're going to be missing out on an amazing vocalist. She regularly has between 1.5K-3.5K viewers and gets over 500K likes on tiktok. She collects 400K gifts and up every time. She's that good.
Have an amazing day and take care Nina.
Hi Nina! Can you please react do ariana new album eternal sunshine or her new performs on snl/ new single we can’t be friends? Thank you!
i think you would love serbian entry RAMONDA by teya dora, it's so ethereal and dreamy, but powerful
He sings that in video without falsetto (as it should to be) and live he is bit all over the places with his singing. Hope they got it better in actual competition. With autotuner time this was like best singing performance...imagine that. jessus. Show is there for certain...
Wasnt the best circumstances to sing there as he had used his voice already in rehersals through the day and also in the official performance that they had before this, this was them performing again as the winner of UMK. And they werent prepared to win and perform it again. Who knows if they even took some beers in the meantime. i think if he gets ready in a right way and saves his voice it will be better than this (and this didnt have so much problems)
Last year we sent a guy without a shirt.
This year we're sending a guy without pants.
Just wait until you see next year...
Love you, but I Need more Dimash!!!
12 points to the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Ukrain just work
Now listen to E-Types Angels Crying and try to find any differences. 🤣
At least these guys really sing their own songs.
Same genre but songs are different. Different melodies, different lyrics and different vocalists.
Geez reaction videos are low effort.
Nina, are you single.
Pausing every 5 seconds, really?
Why so mean?
No no, not mean at all. It is just heavy to watch when pausing every 5 seconds.
I still haven't understood for whom he doesn't have rules. For himself or for everyone? Only an unnamed artist in a chlamyda can be called singing, really good voice. Windows 95 man only screamed. Now I need to explain why windows 95. Windows 95 was an exceptionally bugged operating system that would throw up a blue screen crash time and time again.
People who have never used an operating system in question should not claim they know anything about it. Windows 95 was one of the best operating systems of its time and compared to the later 98, NT and XP it was way more stable on release.
Be yourself and take no rules for anyone of how you should be, what you should wear, how you should feel, what you should think, what kind of music (or anything) you should like etc. That's how I understand this and I like this message.
It kinda fits after Finlands last years performance that they are now bending the rules, "no rules" in this performance means the way he looks "naked" but really isnt though and also how he uses the fireworks which i think is completely new in Eurovision. He wanted to have no shirt on but his wife said no so here he had rules though he was trying to go to the limit. To me its like the song is a good eurodance but they decided to make the show as entertaining and relentless as its possible within the rules and stage and 3 minutes. While bending the rules to the very end. Note also that the egg is really tall. Henri must be 3-4 meters up there singing. Actually theres rumor the egg is too big for the rules in Malmö. Imagine how this would have looked if he only had the beige underpants
@@Wezqu If I hadn't used all operating systems since NT 3.1, I'd believe you.
@@tu5392 The message is philosophical, but that's not how it works in life. Even when one person speaks to another person, he influences him. All the more influenced by anyone who wants to make a profit off us.
