Yeeeeeeeeeeees! Still getting goose pimples...
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:
