Fathi relies on costume changes

Fathi states that karaoke videos never make any sense, and points to Michael Jackson’s Black or White music video as an example. He also insists that outfit changes are very important in karaoke videos. Fathi lists a series of seemingly random scenes that he wants to play on the green screen, adding to his insistence that karaoke videos don’t actually make sense. His video involves both himself and Pilvi awkwardly dancing, and occasionally changing costumes. Fathi’s video is a mess because. for some reason, he insists that the entire thing needs to be done in a single attempt, so the two pf them changing clothes and figuring out what to do for each part of the song is generally what is seen on screen. At one point, instead of singing the hook ‘Oh, Las Palmas’, Fathi sings “Olof Palme”, referencing a Swedish politician whose 1986 assassination was not officially solved until 2020. When Jaakko asks if Fathi knows something about the case that the Swedish police did not, Fathi replies that he genuinely thought the lyric was ‘Olof Palme’, as he'd never heard the song before. Jaakko awards everyone first place, but also awards Fathi two bonus points, “for the props and other stuff.”
