Aren't they death metal, or something? What's Eurovision? Like Pop Idol, or something?

They are heavy metal/hard rock and they look like Gwar :P Eurovision is a european music competition, every country chose a song to represent them and then the people of Europe vote for the best song.

This is soo fucking amazing, the whole fucking songfestival is usually just B-sides ABBA and worse! Ok, this song is not very intelligent, but it's fucking great they won!!!

It was good to see all that crap go down the drain. If Lordi didn't win, the only other song that should have won was the Lithuanian entry because those guys were just out there having fun and showing how dumb the contest is each year. Fucking awesome that Lordi won. All the pop princesses are probably crushed, especially that terrible French entry. What were you guys in France thinking?

Yeah this is great, usually Finland has sucked in the Eurovision contest but now we won and got the best score of all time as well. It hasn't started just yet but there's no doubt what will be the main topic in Finland over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully this spawns something good, at least it showed that people are starting to get bored with the regular crap in the Eurovision contest.
I'm not that much a fan of Lordi but I must say they earned my respect this time. Way to go!

Well, not that i find Lordi's music to be that good, but a metal band winning Eurovision!?!??! Thats bloody awesome! Hopefully this inspires otherr countries to send artists that arent second rate ABBA-pop.

They have some good songs. I'm sure you can find the videos for Blood Red Sandman, Would You Love a Monster Man and Devil is a Loser on youtube as well.

Thank you. Winning Eurovision is NOT something to be proud of. You think Maiden wouldn't have done it years ago if there was any glory in it?

Lordi are a weak Gwar rip-off with a catchy song or two.

Having said that...

jeezus christ this is so awesome! I NEVER THOUGHT THEY'D WIN! however, this might turn metal into a mainstream schtick... hope not...
but maybe other countries will follow the example and choose some metal bands for their appearances

and the contrast between the ugly metal band and the wimpy pop princesses (the male ones as well) was priceless.

I don't think this will turn metal into the mainstream, but at least I hope this will make people open their eyes and see that there is still good metal out there.

And Lithuanias song was absolutely hilarious :lol: Vote vote vote for the winners!
