Lordi rocks Eurovision
The blogosphere has been alive with comments and opinions posted live during last night's Eurovision. Malta's Fabrizio, who finished towards the bottom of the pile, attracted a varied mix of comments: Second Silencer said he sang like Boy George but was dressed like some sort of strange Latin Lover; Omap wrote Fabrizio was out of tune; Shrillczar wrote that Malta's song is one of those prototypical Eurovision songs, cynically calculated to compete but not even remotely good enough to win; Lucius Sulla compares Faniello to a gay cat; Faniello freaks out AustenGirl; Salamagundi said Malta could be a winner; Bromley writes Malta is ten years too late with this song; Ninerva comments on scary eyebrows and sheer enthusiasm (a reminder of Terry Wogan "Serious eyebrows" quip!); Karen Fricker calls (writing on the Guardian's news blog) Malta's song a nifty little disco number.
And as predicted by Toni Sant, Finland's Lordi won hands down after capturing the attention of the world's media. More from EurovisionMalta

You know, the whole of Finland (I and my friends included) has gone crazy over Lordi and his monsters and their awesome win last night! They so totally rock! :) Yay!
You know, Finland has participated some 40 times with a sad, sad record of embarrassing performances and minimal scores (if any), so it's no wonder we used to have a saying that the hell will freeze over when Finland wins the ESC. Well, must be getting pretty darn cold down there by now. :)
