I think the audience has shown this contest the red card by electing the most disgraceful, embarrassing winner in the history of the contest. I also think this is the beginning of the end of this contest (hopefully), which is eating up western europes tax payers money, and does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do - embarassing Europe instead of advertising it culturally.

However, as much as I appreciate that they were acting as the undertakers of Eurovision Slime Contest, Finland is a loser in this farce. I cannot understand how a country can elect to be culturally represented in this manner. Simply sick.

From the point of view of music lovers, the UK song was the only one that belonged into a pop song contest, and the only one I would listen to if I had it on CD. I also liked the romanian singer, if only the background music/performance would have been a bit less cheesy.

But this event is not about about music, but about patting the minority complex of narrow minded nations, and to show the world how much Europe can suck.

It's therefore recommended for any American to watch this event while it still exists, only to see how little there is about any allegeded cultural superiority of Europe.

It isnt a POP song contest, its just a SONG contest. They won with the biggest margin ever. People have different preferences in music also, so try to respect the people that voted for Lordi. In short, suck it up.

Well... Germanys contribution to the European culture was an country & Western band... :hmm:

At least we represented classical gothic horror

At least Russia didn't win. So many little Balkan states, so many neighbours to vote for (and one regional superpower) :hmm:

You gotta admit that the Finns put in the effort, though

If it will help you can take the British ass hole from ‘American Idol’ back and put him to use somewhere... like as a doorstop or something...

Should have done a 'Bucks fizz' on the school girls maybe. :P
