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.

Terry was actually talking over performances (during the quiet bits) this year which hinted of 'arrogance' a little!

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.

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."
