Someone should get a grant to write a paper on the geo-political significance of the Eurovision Song Contest. Still if Lordi wins its a triumph of music over format.

God the voting patterns are so obvious for the most part. No western country will ever win the event again, as we don't have enough neighbours.

Agreed, unless the EBU revert to jury voting.

But is that likely to ever happen?

Someone's quick off the mark. From Wikipedia:

Lordi is a melodic theatrical hard rock band from Finland and winners of Eurovision Song Contest 2006.

iFight

do yall actually think that they deserved it...THey were ****!!!!

sinead_t

What and u think the other songs were good or something?!

Julesie

I broke the habit of a lifetime and actually text voted for something... I plumped for Lithuania...i'm taking credit for the 12 we gave them. But go on the Lordi, might get rid of some of the pap next year.

Basq

Yes.. they deserved it!

Didn't think much of the song but it's not my taste... but c'mon, it's definantly the most original song the Eurovision has seen in years.

And hopefully it will set a trend for more diverse music in the Eurovision from now on... what about next year... speed-garage? Barbershop quartet?
