Absolutely right. The Finnish have become great fans of hard rock, and yet they're some of the most peaceful people in the whole world. They have the right to send whiever band has grabbed them the most. Good Luck, Finland. You'll be okay, of course. I, for one, am very proud of Portugal 's entry this year. She's a powerful singer and a very fine, and genuinely kind girl from the Portuguese Arquipelago of Madeira. Though I'm not convinced yet that she may win (and she will certainly not If we are to see again the same old lousy rotten and ridiculous show of so many countries voting for their neighbours, never mind the quality of the songs), I am pretty confident that she'll pass the semifinal test quite smoothly. Further to the Portuguese and the Finish entries, I have enjoyed hearing and watching the Swedish, the Danish, the British, the Armenian, the Hungarian, the Albanese, the Romanian, and the Ukranian entries very much! (How shady is the lady, I often wonder? I mean, will her dress at the semifinal be even flimsier, shorter, skimpier? Her voice is already quite powerful and seductive so why does she overwork her body language this much and act as if she were venerating Dionisius? Well I do not mind, I love watching HER, but couldn't she just make it less strippish? Oh...I had an epihany: she obviously wants to warm us all up, particularly the boys from the Eastern countries where Spring has not set in yet...). Back to more serious stuff: The Lithuanian and the Serbian singers are fantastic, but the songs do not appeal to me as much. Well then, good luck everybody and may the best song win! Be fair, vote for your real favourite song, I mean, for musical and performative reasons in the first place.

Congratulations and good luck to Teräsbetoni :D and thank you for supporting our entry ;)


To all that say that Teräsbetoni are a copy of Lordi:
Metal and rock are popular in Finland...with your reasoning it means that Teräsbetoni are copying most Finnish bands and not just Lordi!

Teräsbetoni for the win!


Teräsbetoni rule!
Of course they deserve gold!Maybe even more!

Let Eurovision be held in Finland again!

Huh hah!

I love that Finland wants to be the hard rock nation of Eurovision but dear god they need to get something better than this. I love me a bit of some heavy metal but this is a bit shite

@Melina, but maybe Lordi (and Wigwam) opened the door for rock on the Eurovision stage. Something that seemed impossible before 2005. Of course Terasbetoni are very different to Lordi. I think their song is good, but on the other hand will appeal only to a minor public.

Good luck to the land of hark rock Finland. I appreciate them for the consistency!

Congratulations :)


And I hope this finally shuts up all those who say Finland only sent this because of Lordi... You couldn't be more wrong.
