What a first time! Quite a debut considering the circumstances.
Besides the first time, Lordi scored the most points in the history of the contest.

BBC: Finnish monsters rock Eurovision

"A Finnish "horror rock" group who dress in monster costumes have pulled off a surprise win at the 51st Eurovision Song Contest in Athens."

Hopefully someone comes up with the video from finals - audio was much better set up, for every contestant.

With Norway's contribution last year, and Finland's this year, I have to ask: What's wrong with Scandinavian people?

LOL Just kidding!

My favorite Scandinavian metal band are these guys:

This is the end of the world !

H*ll is freezing over, Finland won the Eurovision song contest:aok

Lordi sucks, but on the other hand he is the only one who's song I can remember. Others were just plain dull.

Sweet. I'm glad they did well. Kind of a Kiss (but not sucking) plus some Halford-y vocals and some awesomely cheeseball 80's rock lyrics. Not to mention it's not traditional bubblegum pop that I'd expect at something like this.

When are they touring the US?

Looks like a wierd mix of Gwar, residents of AltereVII , and the set of So you want to be a Millionaire.
