It was the first time Finnish public was allowed to vote for the performer from a pre-selected group. Now they are more careful about who they let on the list to be selected.
You only reacted to the costumes and visuals but said absolutely nothing about the music. Maybe you should be quiet for a second so you can actually hear the song.
Ι VOTED for that song (mind you I mostly listen to metal), I have watched Eurovision since the '80s and I have never voted before or after that. That song is freaking awesome in studio version and was dope on the Eurovision stage, something VERY diferent!
Damn, I think they underestimated that song.. I guess we had the pleasure back then to watch the official video/studio version for months, appreciating an awesome song before watching an awesome theatrical live but mediocre singing performance... I think you need a repeat of a reacton night with the videos though...
Fun fact: the main singer allways wears a costume and mask. He was invited to the presidents castle for intependece day but the didnt go since you cant wear a mask there
This was remarkable in the sense that nothing like this had really won the Eurovision prior to Lordi. Yes, there'd been rock acts before that had done well, but nothing this hard and out there. I might be biased but I love my country for stretching the limits of what can qualify as a Eurovision contestant even if we didn't win or do that well. And if not stretching the limits, then just showcasing a standard of normality in our society by supporting contestant from different backgrounds equally. The public voting of our national finals ended up sending a punk rock band of "disabled" people ("" because I only see them pretty much abled on the Eurovision stage) to the competition. We love their band, and we wanted them there representing our country. We gave the competition yet another controversy with Krista Siegfried's kiss action at the end of "Marry Me". For us the competition is truly about uniting people, not about winning.
What do you need the video for? You’re just talking among yourselves and don’t bother to listen to anything else. 😅 Yeah, you’re very special. 😂 I wish I could be one of you cool kids! 😄
their debut album in 2002 won best rock album of the year award (beat bands like Nightwish there) and the first single was nr.1 on charts for a while too. Quite a few people knew them.
That night in Athens in that exact moment the whole stadium was shaken! We knew we were watching the winners and couldn't wait to see them perform on stage again at the end of the night!
"something better".. THIS IS THE MOST ICONIC WINNER! I'm still so happy they won! And I remember it was all anyone could talk about when it just happened!
Lordi does all their concerts in full costume. its part of their band's persona and lore. their music is tied to it as well. in fact, they rarely are photographed or do interviews out of costume.
@@ludocrious7898 Hmm, seems you are correct. I had to go find the clips. Even in the semi-finals before he wore it. My memory seems to fail me. But in the encore at the end, the hat was worn by the guitarist Amen.
Fun fact is that nobody knows how they look like. They were wearing costumes all day for two weeks and also in Finland noone knows them without costumes.
Said nothing about the music, only the costumes, if you cant handle metal music, then don't bother listen to it. Legends will have volume at 110% all the way throughout the song!
Everyone was surprised that Bosnia didn't won that eurovision and it's probably because there were no judges in 2006 only fan votes and they were let's say "more fun" on stage
That was the next song.... it was Something Better... this was a contest... we watched them all one after another... when I said something better is next I didn’t not mean a better song...
When I first listened to this song I felt sorry for them because I thought they would get no votes but as I listened to it again it’s actually a really good song and I judged them off their costumes

"Look at those shoes"... Of course the blonde one thinks that the shoes is the most important thing to comment on. "Why do they sing like that?" 🤦♂️🙄😵 And why the heck are they taking notes for or whatever? If they don't like this, they will litteraly despise the rest.

You realize that Lordi winning that year was a big middle finger to the type of music that dominates this competition.
Exactly
mhm ! damn straight
Facts
That was awesome tbh
And I stand by that to this day.
"something better is next"
*Press X to doubt*
exactly xd
XXXXX
When Finland entered with this song it was sooo different from anything that ever played on the esc before, it was awesome
But Finnish band Blind Channel will be in this years eurovision
It was the first time Finnish public was allowed to vote for the performer from a pre-selected group.
Now they are more careful about who they let on the list to be selected.
@@jonnekallu1627 Everything went to shits after Lordi😩
@@suzawilo and now Finland sent again one of the most iconic ESC songs 💚🖤
When they won I was like wtf but after all these years I think they are probably one of the most iconic winners ever :D I am glad they won.
So am I! I just love this song and it's getting even more genius after every time I hear it!

true
Yep britney spears it's "better" for him ,
Agreed, Lordi is awesome. :D
Quiet? They're americans
Don't ask for Miracles, they're Muricans, they can't shut up.
Ι VOTED for that song (mind you I mostly listen to metal), I have watched Eurovision since the '80s and I have never voted before or after that. That song is freaking awesome in studio version and was dope on the Eurovision stage, something VERY diferent!
Plz also tell everyone that no one knew how they look like, they always always perform in costume, it was not just a eurovision trick

Wriwnas1 I do, i know where he lives aswell toi lol. Ama.
Did the same thing. I'm from Poland and this song earned 12 points from us that evening,
I'm from Switzerland and my vote this evening goes to finland...I love it...🤘
Year 2020 and I'm still waiting for that "something better than Lordi"..
It wasn’t a better song!!! The name of the song was “Something better”!!!!!
@@alexandrumic Something Better, the song by Softengine?
Your wait's over! Meets Finland's 2021 entry Blind Channel! Also Italy's winning band Maneskin!
@@ArtsyMagic239 nope, still waiting

Tbh Bosnia should have won that eurovision
Norway sendt a glam rock band the year before. This is just a few steps above that.
Why disabled? 🤔
@@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 why not?
Then he said "Something better is next." xD 😂
hahahahha genius😂 love from Finland❤️🇫🇮
Face palm 🤦
They say better
What better ?
Britney spears?

Best Eurovisin song ever. This is a core memory watching the ESC with my mom and Lordi winning.
Lordi were famous before eurovision. One could argue that is why they won a contest like eurovision where rock and especially metal is not appreciated
Nobody knew them before lol
@ yeah if you are not into metal you wouldn't have known them. Most of you 'eurovision rockers' are just posers anyway
their debut album in 2002 won best rock album of the year award (beat bands like Nightwish there) and the first single was nr.1 on charts for a while too. Quite a few people knew them.
Stfu

I am American and I love Lordi! The lyrics are amazing! You guys just sitting there not listening 👂 to it

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland! Lordi was one of the best all over Eurovision history!! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
They are all reacting to the costumes,and not listning! That's a great song!
Yes talking way too much and not listening
Lauren's face when the music play make my day 😂😂
Look at 2:47 :)
alex : what's next?
max : something better is next!
LMAO!!! love it.. XD
It wasn't bad haha and the costumes are epic
@@TheScuttlebuttShow hahaha i know, something better is the next song's name.. Btw I'm glad you're back, max! 👍
Best song in the eurovision, fairytale is the next best.
I have never ever noticed the Finland flag hat!!!! Or the person in the cloak. Then you know a lot is going on :P
The guy in the cloak is actually the one who sings the high notes in the chorus, the woman playing the keyboard is just lip syncing that :D
@@annbellgrau Whaaaaaaat :O I though it might be a singer, but I always admired her for that note! :P :P
@@tetea7257 he is the lead singer of Thunderstone and he had face paint resembling Gene Simmons from KISS

You've helped me through these times by sharing our love for ESC. Thank you!
"something better".. THIS IS THE MOST ICONIC WINNER! I'm still so happy they won! And I remember it was all anyone could talk about when it just happened!
Lordi does all their concerts in full costume. its part of their band's persona and lore. their music is tied to it as well. in fact, they rarely are photographed or do interviews out of costume.
I think I was shocked 16 years ago but now, I have to acknowledge the fact it's my winner.
my 3rd favourite esc song of all time
The womans background echo sound fits so well with Mr. Lordi!
So this is the version of the performance when Lordi had already secured the victory. That's why Mr Lordi was wearing the hat.
he always had the hat
@@ludocrious7898 Hmm, seems you are correct. I had to go find the clips. Even in the semi-finals before he wore it. My memory seems to fail me. But in the encore at the end, the hat was worn by the guitarist Amen.
This was the Finals competion performance, so the game was still on. They didn't have the pyros in after the win performance.
If Finland played rock&metal on Eurovision it could be awesome. This is actually the most metal country in the world
naah norway is
@@peterjagermalm5402 It's Finland jakubmarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/metal-bands.jpg
you could see that those little ladies live in a fairytale...
I 👍
Something better? Phhh, Lordi is the best
The song”something better” was next!!
Fun fact is that nobody knows how they look like. They were wearing costumes all day for two weeks and also in Finland noone knows them without costumes.
Said nothing about the music, only the costumes, if you cant handle metal music, then don't bother listen to it.
Legends will have volume at 110% all the way throughout the song!
You missed the point of the series this was not just a random reaction... something more was happening...
Didn't they notice the woman playing keyboard?
maybe also listen to the song not talk and watch only xD they won for a reason the music was the best
I actually liked their stage version better than the studio version. The female backing vocals were great
If you like Finland in 2006. You should watch Finland in Eurovision 2007 and 2008
Finland in 2007...that was a good one too. Shame that Hanna is so underrated.
They arent winning only. They whipped completely the floor with the other bands, because they made a point record
That's how Finns always look before their morning coffee.
😆😆
Everyone was surprised that Bosnia didn't won that eurovision and it's probably because there were no judges in 2006 only fan votes and they were let's say "more fun" on stage
naah not true
Eurovision is about music...incase you missed it...
I wish I was in Finland that night for party time "torilla tavataan".
"Something better is next" "Well, in 2014, the Finns did send "Something Better", by Softengine. Perhaps you'd like that?" :)
That was the next song.... it was Something Better... this was a contest... we watched them all one after another... when I said something better is next I didn’t not mean a better song...
I know I can be masochistic, but why did I watch any of these reactions, it 90% "FOLK&÷:÷^$(-& WHAT IS THAT!?" and 10% "uwu funny costumes lolol"
The men are loving it. The women are terrified haha
They needed their Britney Soraya , I guess 😂😂
When your from Finland:
Me:.... This is normal...
Ei vittu!!😂😂.=No fuck!!😂😂.
When I first listened to this song I felt sorry for them because I thought they would get no votes but as I listened to it again it’s actually a really good song and I judged them off their costumes

At first I was scared of the cotumes, but the song is great 🙂🙂🙂
Americans.. You guys just can't keep quiet and listen to music. You missed most of it just by chatting.
Something better than Lordi? HA!
why you dont show us the full reaction of all songs :/
Great reactions
🤣🤣
Where's Eurovision 2015? :(
Que poco sabéis americanos
GL to whoever the mid blonde girl is your GF!.
Lordi has been inspired by The Kiss and Slipknot is more bad ass by far than Lordi.
Im simple man, I hear Lord I put like
you've made a wise choice
these people clearly dont understand rock or metal
Kind of like finnish Slipknot
"Look at those shoes"... Of course the blonde one thinks that the shoes is the most important thing to comment on.
"Why do they sing like that?"
🤦♂️🙄😵
And why the heck are they taking notes for or whatever? If they don't like this, they will litteraly despise the rest.
Guys you talk non-stop, how can you comment about it, or have an opinion, if you haven't heard a single word of it ?
