Ah yes, the only song my country ever won with. And we've been in the contest since 1961! Lordi actually broke two records that year - the most points in the semifinal and the most points in the final. And until 2006 Finland was the country that had been competing the longest without a victory, and our best result before that was the 7th place in 1989! After 2006 our results haven't been the best but I think that Blind Channel's well deserved 6th place will give us the boost to do well in the future!
Yup! Good luck to you! Well deserved with both bands : -) I think after Portugal's win the longest competing country without a win is now Iceland and the way they're going their virgin win isn't far off.
@@EmoBearRights I think it's actually Malta since they started competing in 1971 and Iceland started in 1986. But I do believe that Iceland might be hosting the competition very soon!
andgiven how awesome the metal scene in Finland is the fact this is a hard rock song and i think the only time so far something harder than pop won Eurovision says a lot and is quite fitting
The thing is, the reason why Lordi was the first heavy metal band to win the Eurovision was because no one had thought of bringing one there before. It was all pop songs before that. Lordi dared to be different and won because of it.
I remember when Lordi won. I was in a pub with my friends. I used to be a big fan of ESC but then when you wait for your country to win for 26 years you kind of don't expect it anymore. We have a saying in Finland that a pessimist won't get dissapointed. Everyone was like haha Lordi yeah right! And as the points started coming we where like no it's not gonna happen. Eventually we won and it was amazing 😁.
1st and last time I ever voted and I've been watching Eurovision since I was old enough to remember, for the last 30ish years. \m/ Hard rpck Hallelujah!!!!!
I saw those guys live in Athens back then :) What people don't know was that we were having 30+ temperatures non stop those days and Lordi were going around in masks all the time even outside the stage. They must have melted inside
3 operas immediately comes to mind: the princess swinging on a stick with dementors in the background, the red vampire dubstep, and the one with the massive swirly dress. Actually also the three dashing italian guys in suits, so that makes 4.
It's never a good idea for Eurovision acts to follow the charts either. This year we got a lot of acts that got compared to Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande (plus in one case Lady Gaga) and none of them did particularly well.
I wont say it's a question of charts. The year Ed Sheeran was everywhere Germany did really well in this style. It's more about how many songs of this genre you have. Of course this year with like 12 pop songs in the final and ovni like iceland, Ukraine, italy or France who had their very own style they had no chance. But put 10 good rocks songs in the final and France win. 10 good ballads and 10 good rocks songs and a pop songs would have probably won.
And still: Greece for example got compared to dua lipa and still got 10th place. 16th place for Cyprus is also not bad. Also Victoria was compared to billie eilish but was 11th and 1st in the 2020 odds
I see your point but 10th in the highest place still isn't that high when you consider 9 songs considered more distinctive did better except possibly Malta which was massively bigged up by the juries.
@@EmoBearRights also bigged up by the televote in the semifinal. And yes, 9 song did better but 29 songs did worse which were a bit more unique and distinctive sometimes
Many times you can see the countries/artists playing it safe, so there is definitely strategy there. They employ famous deejays, try to mimic earlier winners. This year they had a song that sounded just like Lady Gaga. Luckily, usually they end up placing in the middle of the pack. They don't suck, and they don't stand out. Originality luckily in many cases wins.
@@alexandrumic yes that's the one haha! It's how I discovered Lordi! Such an epic concept for a band! KISS meets Rob Zombie in monster costumes?! Gotta love it lol!
Hey @alexandrumic I have an idea for you. You could show them the songs that hold variuos records for the ESC like Croatia 1996 with the song Sveta ljubavi sang by Maja Blagdan which held the record for the highest note ever sang on ESC for 25 years straight before Eden overthroned her in 2021....what do you think?
@alexandrumic The whole video I was waiting for the moment the girls will notice the "tongue work" by the bass guitar player and they did 😂😂😂 Ooo opera! Is Elina Nechayeva next? God I live her... Godess in every sense of that word
@@EmoBearRights knowing Alex I would place my bets on Elina 😅 for now it seems an obvious choice, but it could easely be Il Volo. Let it be a surprise hahah 😜
@@youtpfpm6097 yeah well i guess we have differend opinions what reaction means. in my mind you watch and then maybe pause or just make quick comment not just talk over them when they are singing. :)

I know I realised Cyprus have also been around longer too making their debut in 1981.
Actually before 2006 your best result was 6th in 1973 with Marion Rung. But you have been underrated several time (in the 80s for sure)

Even rock songs failed time and time again before Lordi
@@markuskoivisto Yeah. Lordi just had their timing right.
"Lordi dared to be different"
it was the first time we Finns were allowed to choose a Eurovision song by popular vote and we chose Lordi.
@@jonnekallu1627 And all of Europe liked it too.
It was soooo boring. All the songs were soooooo safe.
Then suddenly this shows up and... YES YES! HELL YES!

You say the band broke up. They have never broken up. But some of the members from 2006 are not in the band no more 😊

The Holy Trinity of Eurovision Reaction videos 🤝
Wild Dances is always fun too! What she's doing all that and still has the breath to belt out the song in tune?!
@@EmoBearRights agreed! Its a great performance
Idk about that. Dschinghis Khan.
@@cathsaigh2197 hard yes to that too - no one does ridiculous as well as German except Moldova and when they go for it France.
I remember that media and everybody was thinking: "Do our budget is ready for this much Pyro". Thank GOD we had the money
Lovely Performance, Lovely Reaction!

Really like Emily's reactions, come across as pretty natural. Funny and respectful.

The best is Lordi couldnt believe first that Finland would they really nominating. " You know what we do?" they ask. 😂😂😂
Yeah 🤘
Oh yes! This'll be fun!
The best Eurovision song in my opinion period.
Yaaaaaaaaaaas! So glad they liked the rock 'n' roll kings of ESC
Cesar next for "opera"?! :D
Despite me being in the UK
I am so happy they won, I mean, they are my favourite band after all
Everybody's gonna catch em.
🤘 was a cool song! Did you have seen this year (2021) the rooftop in Rotterdam where they were?

Estonia 2018 or Australia 2019 next 😍
I hope for Italy 2015
or Cezar!
Check out Lordi's breakout hit "Devil Is A Loser" music video from 2002! He shows off his wings again lol, and the chorus is genius!!
is that one... Devil is a loser and he's my bitch??? I remember that for some reason
@@alexandrumic yes that's the one haha! It's how I discovered Lordi! Such an epic concept for a band! KISS meets Rob Zombie in monster costumes?! Gotta love it lol!
It would be nice that you guys react to something from Bosnia and Herzegovina (2006, 2009, 2016).
I remember and love song from 2009

Ill need some stats for that!! Also this series of videos have been filmed already.. so I should save the idea for a future one… thank you 😊

Ooo opera! Is Elina Nechayeva next? God I live her... Godess in every sense of that word
It will probably be Estonia 2018 but it could be Italy 2015 or France 2011 but I think it will be Estonia 2018
@@vavah2071agree, vut it could also be Sweden 2010 if Im not mistaken, with Malena and la vox
@@petarbarisic224 Yes but it's Sweden 2009 but yes it could be
I think it's going to be IL Volo : -)

Well its also Christian Rock as well.
STOP TALKING

Schön für dich Kauf dir ein Lolly
70 % talking 30% reaction not good.
why are you guys talking everytime when they sing??? you guys talk too much
It’s a reaction. If you want to listen to the song, it could be a good idea to see the original video they are reacting on. 😊
@@youtpfpm6097 yeah well i guess we have differend opinions what reaction means. in my mind you watch and then maybe pause or just make quick comment not just talk over them when they are singing. :)
Too much talking
