I also liked the German C&W dudes, especially the drummer who was quite scarily intensely into the whole thing. Las Ketchup's choreography was like a shit Girls Aloud before rehearsals to actually do any co-ordination. Their outfits were awful too.

Yeah, what was up with the UK guy? Was he supposed to be a real rapper?

I think it's pretty much the most perfect pop song of the 00's. Arsenium's solo career hasn't convinced me yet (and how come he's changed countries from Romania to Moldova?).

Arsenium is Moldavian (is that the adjective?) but O-zone launched in Romania. Dragostea Din Tei is the best thing ever.

Ugh I remember them. I so glad he got hardly any votes now.
Why do we keep putting up joke acts? Didn't Jordan try to enter once?Why can't a decent act enter for a change?

Hard Rock Hallelujah!Hard Rock Hallelujah!
The saints are crippledOn this sinners' nightLost are the lambs with no guiding light
The walls come down like thunderThe rocks about to rollIt's The ArockalypseNow bare your soul
All we need is lightningWith power and mightStriking down the prophets of falseAs the moon is risingGive us the signNow let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock HallelujahDemons and angels all in one have arrivedRock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock HallelujahIn God's creation supernatural high
The true believersThou shall be savedBrothers and sisters keep strong in the faithOn the day of RockoningIt's who dares, winsYou will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings
Wings on my backI got horns on my headMy fangs are sharpAnd my eyes are redNot quite an angelThe one that fellNow choose to join us or go straight to Hell
Hard Rock Hallelujah!Hard Rock Hallelujah!Hard Rock Hallelujah!Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!

Or maybe that's just me getting all misty eyed about the Great British pop song or something.

Loved the Latvians - a real surprise.
Also loved the German country-pop.
Wife was keen on the Lithuanians and it worked a lot better than I thought it would.
But Lordi got our 25p.

And the sweet fruits of victory:
The Finnish city of Rovaniemi says it will name a square after monster rock band Lordi, its surprise Eurovision Song Contest winners.
The mayor of Rovaniemi - the band's hometown, located on the Arctic Circle - said the municipality wanted to honour its sons for their success.
The new square bearing Lordi's name will be part of the redevelopment of Rovaniemi's city centre.
The town - the regional capital of Lapland - lies on the Arctic Circle and describes itself as the home of the real Santa Claus.
In a statement issued to Finnish media the official Rovaniemi Santa Claus said: "Lordi's victory shows us that with hard work and belief in your own abilities even the greatest dreams come true."
