MY EARS! MY EARS!
wow. seriously. just wow. i mean, my ears are bleeding and my eyes are boiling…
Rob Zombie meets Jack Black in School of Rock.
Actually, they won the contest.
Tis they did!
Oh, and nice hat BTW!
I know who I voted for :D
the lord of the rings group?, anyway, my ears are not bleeding, is kinda cool in a very… crazy? no, Disfuntional way
BTW it’s Mr. Lordi
Well considering the usual shite that is on Eurovision this is very very good. I agree also that it is very good. But next year it will all be rock trying to copy Lordi.
Was good this year I must say.
Lordi is the group, and Mr.Lordi is the lead singer. Actually they recieved a great deal of votes, some sort of record. My beloved Malta came (deservedly) last in the Eurovision scoring a measly 1point. Other we came close to winning. Last year we came 2nd, losing by a couple of points.
Oh and the winning song is very cool. Listen to it a couple of times, and I bet you’ll find yourself singing to it.
Cheers!
p.s. the sound of this clip is shitee. Trust me the good quality version is LOADS better.
Oh and an interesting fact is the pyrotechnics cost about EUR60,000 per performance, that’s about USD76,618.72.

ClaMs
Thanks for the link to the wayyyy better video. The eurovision contest one makes them sound like crapppp, but the official music video for the song is a ton better.
Clams? Is that really you? Drop us an email at the tipsline, if it is.
It sure is. Email sent!
Here is another great video from Lordi, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5477477756459784400&q=Lordi
The Australian broadcast was better, it had Terry Wogan.
HA YES!!! FINALLY, Lordi is getting some exposure! I’ve been a fan for a LONG time, I’m so stoked to see lordi is being mentioned on this site and many others. Very awesome!
now they need to come and tour in the us like ive been trying to make happen for years.. they should team up with gwar.. it’d be amazing.
I personally just think they won because they were so unlike anything ever seen before on Eurovision. All my friends voted for them just because they were pissing themselves laughing at this band coming on Eurovision when usually there are more calm sedate songs.
