Lordi

Hehe I reckon it's fucking great they won. Nothing like that would never happen here, which is why Europe rules so much.
 
OPETH Mainman Says LORDI Is Music For 'Five-Year-Olds' - May 27, 2006

OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt has commented on LORDI's surprise win in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, marking Finland's first Eurovision victory in 45 years. Asked by an OPETH fan on the band's official forum what he thought of LORDI winning the contest, Mikael replied, "Haha! I love watching that! This year there were quite a few decent songs and one amazing song...Bosnia/Herzegovina!! Song was called 'Leila', or something like that, and I fucking loved it! Will buy the single (in secrecy...)! There was one melody theme in there that was amazing. The guy had a fantastic voice too! Epic shit!!

"Sweden had a seasoned singer competing called Carola, who is practically the only superstar we have here. She can SING! I've always fancied her, ever since I was a kid, and she can SING! Don't tell the metalheads I said that...errr...too late!

"LORDI? Come on now, what am I, 5 years old??"

What a douche.
 
Absolute tosser.

I hate it when people have to take things so seriously, as if music isn't allowed to be fun... unless you're 5 years old in this case.
 
Mikael has a better sense of humour than the average person, so perhaps he's not the one taking things too seriously! :)
 
I've been listening to the song a fair bit over the last couple of days, and I'm now of the opinion that it's quite possibly the greatest song ever.

But can I find any Lordi albums at JB? No, of course not.
