'Amazing'?
 
Maybe. I just cannot make up my mind if I enjoyed it or if it's just because it was nice to see a gang of monsters totally beating the crap out of all etno junk, ABBA copies, Shakira wannabies and crooners...
 
Like a cross between Kiss and S Club 7! Awesome!

I bloody hate Eurovision, except when you get twatted and then dance around like loons afterwards...
 
... we rule :smile: ! Send average appearing Finns to compete and they deliver. Since Finland apparently can't dodge arranging the contest next year probably going to suffer more of the "silicon - filled - performances & artists" & related tripe :approve: .

(the iihfs on the other hand ... man!)
