We are the winners of Eurovision!!!!

"We are the winners of Eurovision..."

might be the lyrics in Lithuania's entry in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, but it was FINLAND who won!!!! Hard Rock Hallelujah!

The Eurovision Song Contest was held this year in Athens, Greece. 37 countries participated, 24 made it to tonight's final. And for the first time Finland won! And by landslide! We made Eurovision history by winning for the first time - and getting a record-breaking amount of points. Go Lordi, go Finland!

There was lots of controversy around Lordi, but in the end their monster rock performance rocked all around Europe. It proved that Finland CAN win with the right artist and performance. Personally, I danced all through their 3 performances and hoped for the best. This is a dream come true to a ESC fan like me! I've been waiting and dreaming about this day since 1991 when I begun watching the contest.

And what a night to win: Finland participated for the first time in Eurovision Song Contest 40 years ago, back in 1956. Since then the ESC fans have been waiting for tonight! About time... ;-)

Finland is going crazy with celebrations! People are singing, dancing, screaming and jumping! Some plan to take tattoos with the word "Lordi"... And I said to a friend of mine that if Finland wins, I'll volunteer to help at ESC 2007 arrangements. Aguess I'll be sending my CV to our hosting broadcaster YLE on Monday morning... ;-)

We made ESC history tonight! Incredible!!!

Hard rock hallelujah!!!
Here's the song once more:

Somehow I think that it's going to be no 1 hit in here soon... =)

What a night, what a feeling, what a show! Thank you & congratulations, Lordi!
Let's see you all next year in FINLAND!!! Hard Rock Hallelujah!!!
