Finland deserved to win, altough I was rooting for Lithuania. I actually thought "We Are The Winners" was the best song in the contest - catchy as fuck. The Russian guy and Macedonian chick were insanely hot. The UK entry was a bit of a sad affair. Terry Wogan is the man - his commentary during the points tally was so OTM it hurt.

I can't imagine Eurovision without Terry.

The Latvians were excellent! The robot and the red heart shaped balloon......no idea what it was all about of course.....but definately cheered me up! Quite catchy too I thought.

Apparently the rockers of Turkey and Finland found each other:

Let me repeat again that she was the hottest female performer there. And only the Armenian guy and Arsenium might've competed in overall hotness.

Sorry, the second pic was supposed to be this:

this was probably pointed out on the other thread but Terry was actually talking over performances (during the quiet bits) this year which hinted of 'arrogance' a little!

He always does that, doesn't he?

I was listening to it on the radio this year, and I rather liked the Radio 2 commentary.

I was looking for this thread on ILM!

And Tuomas I can't believe that you've never seen Numa Numa before!

She reminds me of Gwen Stefani.

He can be as arrogant as he likes, when it comes to Eurovision the man's a god.

i don't remember him talking during performances in previous years, but maybe he did.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 22 May 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never heard him talk over performances either, surely it could be construed as CHEATING (not giving the teams he talked over a fair crack of the whip). The independent Eurovision aducicator (OFEURO) should look into it.

I'm sure he has always done this.

I thought Daz bottled it a bit in the performance - "Teenage Life" on record is terrific. Shades of tATu a couple of years ago.

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."
