FINLAND WINS THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!!!!

[Xenox]

Finland takes gold and beats the all time points record...

The metal band, Lordi, wins the annual Eurovision, this being great news because in almost 50 years of the contest being held, Finland has never, ever, ever won before! So anyway, Lordi is a heavy metal band and all the other songs that we've ever had at Eurovision are primarily tango and all that kind of stuff... YAY!!!

 

 

 

 

P.S. ROCK ON!!!! \m/

[ncf]

Hyvä Suomi!!

I can't say I loved that song but it feels great to be finnish in Norway now

[Shockwave]

This was hysterical.

 

Well done to those GWAR lookalikeys, they deserved it!

 

My only regret is not putting a bet on them to win it.

[Luxo]

...yay?

 

Sounds cool! I wonder how a metal singer would do in 'American Idol.'

[Wishmaster]

I was surprised when I heared a Metal band won. It seems that people have better taste than I thought.

 

For the ones who don't know the song, here is a link:

 

^ a few years ago a metal singer won Idols in Belgium. In World Idols he became third, after Kurt Nilson (Norway) and Kelly Clarkson.

[krouvi]

Yes that was a big surprise seeing that preformance and moreover winning.

I was sure this is not a real group and thought it is kind of take off on real rock bands.

Anyway congratulations.

 

Have you notice how gay it was this year ? The Dutch guy hit with the othetr guy on live tv. Other told the presentors they look like Will and Grace and you could spot the gay flag in the crouwds.

Don't take it wrong , I support and like the gay community and think they are the ones to revive this Eurovision contest.

It is like the euroivision finaly came out of the closet.

[Lord Kotowa]

I love the song, am so glad they won!! Its better than what we would ever do!!

 

(joke coming)

I heard next year Rammstein are representing Germany

(joke end)

 

Or check out my attachment for what could happen

I wonder if this will happen

[BorisTF]

I was sure this is not a real group and thought it is kind of take off on real rock bands.

They're very much a real rock group, and have released at least two albums

[krouvi]

I didnt see the whole contest but I saw rerun of the song and yes it was a very good preformance with lots of fire and stuff. I can understand why people voted for you. This is coll - I bet people were screaming like crazy at home when winning.

Israle won few times and everytine its a big celebration. I don;t take this contest too seriously but still it makes people come together from all countries and this is a good thing.

[MrMorgan]

Every year I watch the Eurovision song contest, Im always amazed that these are supposedely the BEST bands they could find to represent the countries. Its almost like a joke now who wins. I just dont understand...

[thomas2]

I really liked Hard Rock Hallelujah and I'm happy Lordi won.

 

But I'm very sad our own Kate Ryan didn't made it to the final . That was very depressing 'cause she has a very good song

[ncf]

I don't know why but I really liked Germany's song!

[viking86]

The voting is a joke. All the countries votes for their neighbors no matter how crappy the songs are...

[Xenox]

Yeah, I never really take the contest seriously but since finland isn't known for anything else practically than ships, mobile phones and good metal music, I thought that it would be very interesting seeing what happens when a metal band is placed in a competition mainly designed for pop/mild music... And we won breaking 2 records in the process.

 

(Even though IMO Lordi isn't even half as good as Children of Bodom or Nightwish or even HIM. Although I never listen to HIM or Children of Bodom anyway. )

[Wishmaster]

^ I think Lordi is a lot better than HIM. As for COB and Nightwish, is it possible to be any better? Finntroll is also a great Finnish band.

[rollermonkey]

So the news said something about either changing the Eurovision format to be more like the Idol show from the UK, or bringing the Eurovision format to the US.

 

Did anyone hear this?

and,

Any opinions from our Europeans?

[ncf]

Idol!? No way! Every country has done that, Norway just finished their 4th round and most importantly, I HATE IDOL!!

[viking86]

I think a combination of a jury and voting from each country would be the best.

 

Atleast the best song won this time...

[Xenox]

I disagree with changing the format to match IDOLS. 50% because IDOLS has been done so many times in so many countries and is boring, and 50% because I too HATE IDOLS!!!
