Eurovision Contest


I heard rumours of this... A heavy metal band in the Eurovision song contest... And guess who they are representing? That's right: Finland!!

Our entry is Lordi and the song is called Hard Rock Hallelujah. Actually I am now quite intrigued by it and looking forward to seeing it on Saturday. My friend booked time off work to watch the Eurovision contest so the rest of us decided she couldn't possibly do it by herself and we've invited ourselves along to a European cultural evening of critising and laughing at bad music.

Oh dear. So many funny stereotypes are being validated.

How did they win? I thought that you got extra votes for looking pretty!!! Not my scene, but a musician friend says that the Finnish heavy metal bands do know their business.

It was also interesting to compare the final results with the bookmakers odds (the BBC news reported on some of this), which shows the betting public or the bookmakers got things quite wrong.
