Oh my Lordi - is Eurovision Finnished!





Finnish metal band Lordi were surprise winners of this year's Eurovision Song Contest with 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'.

Is this Satan's way of infiltrating our minds through the medium of song, or a true democratic process that highlights the headbanger in us all? Will next year's contest see Danish rap pitted against Armenian grunge, or return to the dreadful soft-pop it has always been? Are we in danger of taking Eurovision far too seriously?

Is this Satan's way of infiltrating our minds through the medium of song, or a true democratic process that highlights the headbanger us all? Are we in danger of taking Eurovision far too seriously? What do you think?

Spinal Tap was never a parody, it was a prediction!! Welcome to the future - I'm glad to see Europe has a sense of humour after all. Everything else was just so banal in comparison.

Guest: alro (1308 days ago)

I actually found it entertaining... brought me back to the 80's.

Guest: mol (1372 days ago)

Hilarious.

Guest: sumguy (1372 days ago)

I don't even know why you guys even think this is worth makin a big hoohaa about... geez... sometimes you guys make me wonder...

Guest: FFUK (1376 days ago)

Excellent stuff! I think the UK should enter The Darkness next year :)

Guest: pete (1392 days ago)

I didn't know ABBA had reformed.

How practical, a PVC arse. Wipe clean hygenic. My favourite is Chris the dorky son played by Seth Green who is the son in Austin Powers. He also does Robot Chicken which is brilliant stop frame animation.

OK, so I'm Greek and I watched Eurovision, and Lordi was my favorite all the way through! I have a deep craving for devilish heavy metal rock music, and I love that whole monster scene like Kiss, so I instantly became a big Lordi fan! At school, I'd keep on singing (OK, screaming) that song, and my friends all love it too! ROCK ON, LORDI!!!

Guest: tom n rob (1336 days ago)

F****ng amazing.

Guest: natalie (1365 days ago)

Bloody rubbish.

Guest: worldsurfradio.com (1376 days ago)

I think they are Irish in disguise, we just can't afford to win the shaggin fecker again.

Guest: bastard (1384 days ago)

Lordi is for people who are artistically challenged and children. I hope they disappear soon and stop destroying the dignity of rockers.

Guest: Patsycat (1389 days ago)

Finally Eurovision has got its hat on.

Guest: ortal (1393 days ago)

It's a beautiful song. I knew that they would win!!

Guest: Frank (1393 days ago)

Eurovision is a contest about singing. Lordi singing? I don't think so. It's a shame for Eurovision.

Guest: mauz (1393 days ago)

The song and the group are very cool.

Guest: jay (1393 days ago)

LOL they were shit as people only gave them votes because of what they are wearing.

Guest: jimmy (1395 days ago)

Ireland should have a one!!! Their singer was the most prolific artist in the Eurvision, he's sold millions of albums, he sung at George Best's funeral, at least some one like Iceland didn't win!

Guest: Frank (1395 days ago)

The song reminds me of Europe - the Swedish pop-heavy band from the eighties. (This was meant as a compliment!) Satan? No way, it's just a way of getting attention...

Guest: Cheeves (1395 days ago)

It's a buck against the dolled up crap that's coming out of the west. Idol here, Idol there, Idol bloody everywhere. It's time music began to explore again rather than the cake faced teens who are mere puppets controlled by rich sticky managers looking for the next sweet marketing gimmick. Let's face it, originality doesn't exist any more. Why is it every song I hear these days reminds me of something I have heard before. Ask yourself the same question while in the car listening to the radio. Where have I heard this before? No doubt you will have heard something similiar. Go Lordi!

Guest: gene (1395 days ago)

Yeah, I didn't mind this too much... it has to be said that it was better than England's pile 'o' crap, that was ridiculous!! It has set the English music scene back 10 years (f***in idiot w***ker 'rappin about school??? wtf?).

Guest: bertie donley (1395 days ago)

More more more. It sure beats the rest of the shit we have been watching over the years with all of their corny voting . Cmon UK, we can show them how to rock. We probally taught them.

Guest: Euro-Irish (1302 days ago)

Lordi were good but let's not get carried away here... Johnny Logan and all that crew were great in their day and still hold sway today... how about Brian Kennedy huh... Europe loves a bit of gay!!!

Guest: Kent (1330 days ago)

3 chord changes and B-grade theatre. If I didnt know better, I would think I'm watching "This is Spinal Tap".

Guest: Appla (1343 days ago)

At least they had clothes on...

Guest: Marianne (1349 days ago)

Lordi, we love you !!!!

Guest: kanga (1368 days ago)

Jesus Christ it was a public vote... I think Lordi are good their performance at Download Festival was amazing and their music before euro... is good as well. anyone who is offended by their apperance should stop and look, Slipknot did the same, other bands have too even the stupid Spice Girls put on acts like Posh, Sporty, Scary... what is the difference just because they look bad doesn't mean they are. It's good to see that not the stupid pop and r 'n' b have won and that alternative music should be accepted because other crap is...

Guest: The mighty finnish and the King of the worls (1368 days ago)

They are the best, FINLAND RULES. Hannah your home country sucks as much as you suck your fathers cock. P.S and a little hello from Finland HAISTA PASKA. You fucking whore, all Finnish people hate you.

Guest: Scotto6 (1372 days ago)

It's brilliant that some rock music has won something, better than the british I reckon. Well, so was everytyhing else!

Guest: YEah RIght I lIked IT! (1376 days ago)

This shit is scary - it should be forbidden!
