Eurovision is an annual singing contest. Participants come from each and every European country, and the winner is chosen not by a panel of judges sitting in the audience, but rather by television voters all over Europe.
This year, the Eurovision singing contest that is usually associated with attracting an older generation audience yesterday has changed the trend. Yes, the Finn and the DDA were among millions of television viewers watching this almost bizarre contest. Believe it or not, some contestants looked like they came from some long lost era, and some were just singing almost out of tune.
This is a contest where you perferm on a European level, some countries take the trouble to send their best, some can't be bothered, , some sent seducing female singers, some wanted to make a joke. Germany perhaps was one of those which took to the 4th category, they sent a team all dressed up in cowboy attire performing a country song!
However the main reason that attracted the DDA and the Finn to watch this contest were the Finnish contestants. Ok, maybe the DDA and the Finn are boring people, but you should check these guys out, they call the band
Lordi. They are a rock band that dress themselves up like monsters, the BBC commentator made a remark that they look like klingons and orcs out of fantasy movies.
Monsters or not, they seemed to have rocked the Eurovision last night and made a huge impression on European viewers that they got the highest votes, thus
winning the contest.
