Thank God For Finland!

Personally, I think that Lordi's song is not a good example of Hard Rock, let alone any kind of metal. it was a revived 80's glam rock song with no solo!

It sort of reminded me of Kiss, in a way.

PS: I can't understand how a country like UK, from which bands like Iron Maiden, The Beatles, or Radiohead are coming from, sends a song with children choir doing a duet with a poor quality rapper, and with 5 teen girls licking a lolipop dancing behind him.

I guess it's the closest thing the UK will ever do in sending a novelty act.

...As a popular "Father Ted" episode cleverly showed, countries may send a poor act to the finals because if they sent a good act and won, they would have to pay for hosting the competition next year.

I remember the Irish entry a few years back been pretty deliberately crap. But they still won. Patrick Kielty said of this that, whilst the Irish were giving the UK 2 points as a laugh, the rest of Europe were just plonking this on the Irish year in year out - with the UK smugly giving the Irish 12.

Lordi's entry was quite good and I was glad they won! Couldn't believe it actually, made me laugh.

being a Turk, who do you think we are? cavemen? There might have some political issues between Greece and Turkey, but that doesn't mean we are uncivilised people. please know the facts and have an opinion before talking about things.

*sigh*  You misunderstand me.  I was trying to use sarcasm to point out that the police were probably in place because of Lordi's presence...it wouldn't surprise me if that was the reason.  I meant no offence.

On second thoughts, perhaps they were there in case the Icelandic singer decided to try and make a comeback

Lordi won because they did have the best song, best live show and actual stage prescence. Mr. Lordi himself has said that they are heavily influenced by KISS which explains a lot. At any rate the contest is over, the best band won and I once again thank God for Finland

OK my friend, my bad. I think I overreacted. peace
