I called my wife downstairs when I was watching the show, and her first thought too was that it was GWAR. In either case, OK music but a much more impressive show/ performance art.

Maybe the next year's contest will also bring us some surprises. My parents were on the verge of heart-attack. I, on the other hand, was very pleased. Oh, I will always remember this years eurovision song contest. Go Lordi! Thanks for waking up the beast in eurovision (i'm from Estonia if anyone's wondering) This is IMO just great: Eurovision was badly in need of an adrenaline boost and Lordi…khm…certainly added some flavour.

It's always so cheesy and we Finns generally come in last place. I didn't know anything about Lordi before the contest, but did think it would be kinda cool to have such a different style enter the contest. As it turns out, it was just the right kind of band, style and music for this year. The Finnish commentators were ecstatic. I haven’t even watched the Eurovision contest in years.

Not death metal by any means (Cannibal Corpse, Entombed, Napalm Death). I liked it because they weren't barking at me **cough**Chris Barnes**cough** I also like the description of Cookie Monster vocals as per wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_metal My personal favorite song title is "Vomit The Soul" from Cannibal Corpse. Ah...the good old days of being very angry in high school. I like 80′s metal and Lordi is an 80′s metal band; they just happen to be playing in 2006.

I couldn't stop laughing, as someone said above, if you knew Eurovision's history, you would be on the floor laughing as well. Hey Paul.....Germany's Texas Lightning wasn't all that bad. They probably would be run out of Nashville, but could make big bucks in Bransen. My friends from the Netherlands and Belgium are ready for intensive care after the final…..lol
