So...hell freezes over

[M.Lehto]

As Finland won the Eurovision Contest with Lordi...

 

[spaffe]

Haha, it's horrible, it really is. I'm not sure if Lordi or the people who actually voted should be scorned and laughed at. Though I guess Lordi "owned" the eurovision song contest in a way hehe

 

[Ellestin]

I heard the French commentators said something like: "Finland never won this contest and they're sure not gonna win with this crap".

hahaha morons.

the song may suck a bit but its the closest thing thats come to metal in eurovision ever, its a victory for metal because thats who did the voting
all over europe lots of metalheads voting thier little phones off


and they won by a big margin!

 

[Arunas]

If their performance was a "victory for metal" then I'd rather be on the losing side

 

[Dev]

Ditto

 

[Ellestin]

I'd rather kids come to metal through Lordi than through Linkin Park, honestly. Of course their song is lame as it gets, but at least their victory is a good kick in the ant-farm of conventional rosewater bullshit that usually dominates this kind of event. If nothing else, maybe people will realize that there is a market for metal music and maybe the smaller actors of the scene will benefit from it somewhere down the line.

 

[Hell Mike]

Metal isn't for the mainstream but ROCK AND ROLL ANGELS SING MY HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH!

 

[Night Mare]

Screw the music, it was all terrible, the commentary won it for me, Terry told it like it was. Best moment being before the Croatian performance, when he said "Looks like this one is more fun to sing than it is to listen to..."

Classy.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Eurovison is all about politics anyways.... :Smug:
I watched it as a kid... in fact you always follow that stupid thing no matter how old you are,... silly silly Eurovison

 

[Reign in Acai]

Who the fuck is Lordi?!?!?!?

 

[Dead_Lioness]

A Finnish band.... not that great, but played Wacken and other big festivals....

 

[Doom]

The British entry was by far the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen.

 

[A_Hilter]

at least now we know what messiah's been up to!

 

[cthulufhtagn]

could somebody explain to this yank what eurovision is

 

[lizard]

Running since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest is an annual televised song contest with participants from numerous countries whose national television broadcasters are members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The Contest is broadcast on television and radio throughout Europe, in selected countries around the world, and on the Internet.
