yeah for finland! better some guys in funny costumes than all those barely legal barely dressed girls.
and it wasn't really hard rock in my opinion. it was more like pop metal and compared to some other countries coughmoldaviacough, they seem to be way more professional.
that lordi only won because of the shock factor is something i really don't believe in. their performance was good and i think a lot of people who like rock music voted for them.
i watched it with my norwegian and italian flatmate and was laughing so hard when they annouced the points. they didn't think it was funny.
carola from sweden was good, although the song in itself wasn't that great. the norwegian artist was ok but not that great and i hardly could make out what she was singing, even my norwegian flatmate had problems to understand her.
