Hey, I would have thought I'd find a bunch of posts about this topic this morning!? LORDI made it to the final!! WAKE UP!! Finland is in the final round with LORDI!!!
Last night the semi final took place in Athens. I think 24 (?) countries had to go through this event, the larger and more important acts (like Germany of course ;) ) didn't have to qualify. 10 acts of last night were voted to pass to the final - and there were "I vote for LORDI"-parties all over Germany at least. I, too, voted for them, but from home. Although the backing vocals sounded pretty crappy... they probably don't play with such crystal clear sound very often that everybody can hear every instrument and voice - that was a shocker to me, how cross the backings were sung. But well, it worked out anyway! :D
We will be watching the final tomorrow night - and vote for LORDI of course! Go Finland, go!! :lol:
-
I'm still in doubt, should I or should I not be happy about this. After all, they do play metal.. But they are still ridiculous imo xD I guess I'm glad. But I won't vote! AND I watched hockey instead last night ;)
*not a Lordi fan*
-
It doesn't really matter if I like LORDI or not... I think the most important thing about this all is, that a Heavy Metal (or Hardrock?) band managed it, to invade this whole "Eurovision Song Contest" crap!!!
Last week or the week before I saw a short interview with the singer of LORDI in the german afternoon TV. There he said that they only did it, to attract attention... and if it is with the "help" of the ESC -> why not?! Now they can be asure of the sympathy of the metalworld - no matter if someone really likes their music :metal:
-
Now you have the chance to make a difference. VOTE LORDI
"Finlands sak är vår!"
-
I VOTE FOR LORDI - TONIGHT! :twisted: :lol:
-
OMFG, THEY WON!
They won! I just read it on the videotext and in the newsticker:

MUAHAHAHAHAHA...
What news!
-
Oh gosh... I didn't even stay up to see would they get any points, and in the morning I had had like 4 SMS's telling they won... This is something quite unbeliavable... And at least our newspapers says that they got the highest points ever?
Unbeliavable... Well, if Finland was doomed to win this contest once, I'm glad it was with a metalband ;)
-
I am completelly happy about this. It is simply stunning and amazingly great for our music. I did vote as well as I think many metal heads did in Europe. Maybe this will make the difference but I doubt it. I would hate to see next year in Eurovision varius metal contestants because I think this was original and we should stick to that.
Either way....LORDI RULES.....
-
Opa Steve, Devin-Addict and I had a spontaneous Metal-Party :banger2:
We were sitting in front of the notebook (because of the lack of a TV :lol: ) and were really fascinated from what we saw there.... It was unbelievable how many points LORDI got from so many countries.
Hell yeah - this was HARDROCK HALLELUJAH :bluebanger: :bluebanger:

Quite likely, yeah. They received 292 points.
See the official scoreboard: http://a1679.g.akamai.net/7/1679/9896/v001/esc.download.akamai.com/9896/press_pictures_2006/final_2006_points.pdf

I'm quite surprised it happened with LORDI and not with NIGHTWISH in 1999. After all, they would have fit a lot better into the whole thing. But that might actually be what brought LORDI the victory - being so completely different.
-
Yeeeeeeeeeeees! Still getting goose pimples... :lol:
I thought about Nightwish as well and then I came to the conclusion that they wouldn't have had a big chance, because they just aren't that much different, they would just drown in the mass like most of the other songs that are so uniform. LORDI were different and although they once again had not the best performance (I think), they still simply rocked and put the big special to that whole thing.
Last night we watched the contest and already fell asleep every now and then (oh what boring songs... sheesh...), luckily managed to be awake for LORDI. I was fighting sleep for a while afterwards, Steffi already asleep in my arms. Obviously I must have lost the fight at some point (after the voting started and I had cast a vote <g>) as well, because when I woke up they were almost half done with counting the votes. My eyes flickered open, my ears started to catch sounds again... but I wouldn't believe them at first... Was that... "Finland" right at the top of that list? And with... what?! 40 points or something in advance?? Eyes bursting open, jaw dropping to the ground... Whoooohooooo!!
We had no chance outnumbering all the Turks living in Germany, but at least we sent 10 points for LORDI from here, yeah! I missed Sweden's votes, though, what did they give?
What a surprise.. and fucking great, how many votes and points came from so different countries, wow! My head was suddenly burning (although quite sleepy still, therefore some strange thoughts maybe <g>) about what might happen with LORDI now... busy, hundreds of interviews, appearances here and there and everything? Will this foster the new popularity of Hardrock and Metal we were already mumbling about? Just remember that this show is watched by millions and millions of people all over Europe and the world! I am really curious what will become of this, really excited. :)
And Lordi himself was so sweet accepting the trophy and the flowers, "shaking hands"... hahaha, those officials didn't look like they knew what to do! :lol2:
:metal:
-
Oh, I just remembered what I thought when falling asleep again: This is a victory for Rock and Metal, tonight we all are winners - tonight we all are Finns! :twisted: :lol:
-
AoP, I don't need to read the scoreboard. Every *** newspaper in Finland is announcing how many points they got and who gave them the points... That answering your guestion Odin, Sweden gave us 12 points.. Haha, us... Oh my.
IMO, Nightwish didn't have a chance cause back then metal was not yet a "thing"... It was quite underground back then. NW didn't even pass the finnish contest.
-
This is totally awsome. :twisted: :evil2:

Yes! If we can't beat you in hockey, then we shall beat you in Eurovision ;DD
-
The whole metalworld is in a flap :bluebanger: :bluebanger:
That I was allowed to experience such a great thing :D :D
-
Yes, it was quite a sight.
Good that I taped this historic moment.

:metal:
Hahahaha the situation here in Greece is for laughs...all the aftershows had only bad words to say for LORDI, i really dont know if that is the case with the rest of the European countries, but the situation here in Greece is totally unbearable and for laughs.They even said that hackers hacked in to the system of the Finnish communication satellite and they were able to vote for their country :o
One thing still matters. Next year we will be able to see more hard rock or even heavy metal bands on this crap of a contest.
Oh and the analysts say that this may result in a "war" between the pop and metal fans in Europe. Are these people SO narrow minded?
-
This is unbelievably awesome :)
I was out that evening and got the word on Lordi's triumph via sms. In a bunch of minutes I had to spread that word to a million (maybe not that much) people in my phonebook :P Now I'm kinda looking for the show they did on the song contest, maybe it's for download somewhere.
Well, as I wrote to my friends, colleagues, persons I know:
"Heavy Metal regiert!"
"Heavy Metal reigns!" :)
-
When asked how he felt about having won the Eurovision song contest, Lordi answered: "Grauwlllgrrrrrooommmmrrrrrr!!!"

There are hundreds of downloads in the web :D :D
Actually we taped the performance from german TV, too!

I recorded it to my harddisk. The complete show is 5.7GB.

I actually just need the introduction of Lordi, the gig itself (i've downloaded that already but in average quality - the show was OK but not THAT great), the announcement of the votes AND finally the announcement of the winner :)
-
Congratulations Finland!!
I was at the KING DIAMOND concert that night and we all started voting for LORDI.
Hellas gave them 12 points as well.
Metalheads united all over Europe..If that wasn't a nice kick in the butt I don't know what would be hehe :banger2: :banger2:

I will cut it this way for my next music DVD. The digital quality from the german ARD was very good (anamorphic 16:9, maybe 5.1 sound - I didn't check this already)). And yeah, this is a great idea. I will cut all LORDI-parts together. The stupid off moderation before the song ("Children and uneasy people should leave the room for the next 3 minutes...") and of course every LORDI vote from the countries in a rush (one girl showed the evil sign while announcing 12 points - did you see that?)! And then the winner party. This is an important document!
Edit: there was a great interview in german TV some days ago, where LORDI ate a photo of Ralph Siegel. If someone's got it, please tell me. That would be a great intro for this clip.

Will it be for downloading somewhere? please? :)

Certainly not, because that's illegal in Germany.
But it's allowed to make a private copy for near friends..... :wink:
