The fact that virtually EVERY Eurovision performer that came before were all in the pop genre, then Lordi came along and changed EVERYTHING... it was the only time me and my Dad ever voted for anyone in the contest :')
So did I!
I think, this is the main reason they won. They were the only act in the genre, so they united votes from everywhere and even got votes from people who would not have voted for another genre. Perfect Storm of Engagement.
Also, out of all coultries, it would be the Metal Head Nation Finland to do this, with HELLsinki as their capital!
@@najrenchelf2751 Hel-sing-fors aka the Singing Rapids of HELL
ditto
"This is very Eurovision" funnily enough, at the time, this was something completely new and shocking to Eurovision fans, and stood out from all the pop stuff. That's probably why it won, people needed something different
and probably wouldn't have won if juries had voted
And they were almsot allowed go to perform in Athens at all
@@defeqel6537 seriously, i havent watched eurovision since 2012, wtf has happened
The band has never done an interview or a promo event out of character. Thats dedication!
Mr. Lordi and Amen, yes. The others not so much. Kita was fired for doing a few drum tech events out of costume.
So it is a gwar rip off for squares.
That's probably because they are all music teachers in some primary school... 🤣 Or maybe I' mixing them with the kids' heavy metal band Hevisaurus. Greetings from Finland.
@@AdeptusCaeiusIII That is too much.
Wydm character? That's typical finnish folk, there's a reason Russia is afraid
The story here is that Finland was at that point the country that had been participating the longest never winning it. And that one time we did win was with Lordi with, again at that point, the record breaking points as well. It was a thing back then.
And if memory serves me well, it's still the only finnish win in ESC..
@@johan.ohgren Yes indeed. We got sort of close two year back with Blind Channel getting to 6th place. Also what is sort of funny is I think we've been at 0 points at the end more times than any other country as well xD We've had some horrible contestants.
That is true, but when we win, we win BIG.
The lesson is to be true to yourself (or the stereotypes?). Don't send a typical Eurovison pop artist. Basically the main things I know about Finland are that it ranks high on the Human Development Index, and it has the most metal bands per capita. And some of the best (Nightwish!).
@@brandonkovnat2259 Just facts here.
This has to be one of the best Eurovision performances ever the costumes are amazing i must admit i never thought I would see a performance like this on the Eurovision
Lol finns are a strange bunch
I was 10yr when Lordi won. In Finland many of us little girls had always been fans of some heavier music (Nightwish for example), but Lordi took us all by surprise. Everyone was talking about it in every age range and for many of us smaller kids who weren't born when Finland won hockey the first time, it was the first taste of national pride. As here we rarely show much pride for anything and we are much faster to find the issues in everyday life. It was great.
It was such a fresh breath of air at a time when Eurovision had become quite stale. Also of course every metal fan in Europe came out of the woodworks to vote them to victory.
Also funny to think that this one of the live performances with the biggest viewerships in history simply because Eurovision is the biggest live broadcast in the world
One of the rare songs that make that silly show worth while lol
They kept in character during the whole show, respect. Those outfits are hot!
Literaly the only decent things outa that garbage show ive ever seen...
@@insiainutorrt259 Lol
One of the best and more memorable Eurovision winners!! Everyone remember them!!
The high notes are actually sung by the extra background singer. Pasi Rantanen is his name. He is from power metal band Thunderstone. The keyboarad player does lower backing vocals.
Love Thunderstone!
They released a book called ''Lordiary'' here in Finland sometime ago where Mr. Lordi told that this and his semifinal performances are his worst in the history of Lordi just because he was so sick during them and his voice was really down and whatnot. He also pointed out how it's a shame that it's Lordi's most watched live performance and also by far his worst.
Yeah I could tell... iirc they also had a car crash, no idea if it affected anything.
The qualifier was superior performance, and all-in-all this grand final thing is really weak... glad "we" won though, I like their songs in general and I do sing a few in karaoke too :P
We saw them live just last week and it's so much better live now/without him being sick.
Mr Lordi apparently had a throat infection just as the event kicked off. He did some work with his vocal coach & got through the semi final & final.
When they do the big finale the often missed backing vocalist in the monks outfit reveals himself in full Kiss makeup which is fitting given the whole band at this point loved Kiss.
I think so too. He is usually a better singer.
I love Lordi, I've had the pleasure of seeing them at a festival when I was writing for a local newspaper. They blew up the entire front of the stage just to start off the show. Pyro in literally everything, from the costumes to the instruments and even the drumsticks.
One of the maddest and best stage shows I've ever seen. Also, loads of fun! Although I gotta say, when I saw them, Mr Lordi hit the notes on this song a bit better even - but it was a few years later, so he propably got a bit of practice in :D
Lol, sounds like fun
Funny enough, this particular live showing is one of his worst performances of the song. Shortly after I found out about Lordi, I bought Arockalypse (deluxe edition), and watched the... Ozzfest? One of their big shows they did after Eurovision they recorded. He can hit those notes, but for some reason, he was struggling at Eurovision.
So proud this song won in my country Greece 🇬🇷 😍
Backing vocals are by Thunderstone (great band!) singer Pasi Rantanen. He sounds like female but he is not. He did great job!
So many months later, I saw them live and omg he had no issues keeping his vocals up over a 30min set even with screams. Truely a grit master.
One of the best winners ever!!! I love this performance and this song, great for Karaoke. 😁
It's great to see Lordi get some love. They are a lot of fun. Ghost is great too in the theatrical vein.
Ghost is really pretend metal, once you hear it, you can't unhear. It's never taking real risks and the singing is just really average
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Ghost doesn't "pretend" to be anything, they never called themselves metal. It doesn't seem you know what you're talking about. Tobias is a great vocalist.
@@DM-rc4yu well i heard live concerts and personally i found it rather meh. All very vanilla and a gimmick.
But hey, if you enjoy it, no problem
Still our first and only win in Eurovision, great song!
Yet the greatest victory in EV until this day!
I love this song and band... Seen them live a few times. I think it shows how much fun they are when they were on the show selecting the UK entry the year after they won, and even the presenter (Fern Cotton I think) was screaming "I love you Mr Lordi"
this was the one time hell did freeze over as the saying goes since Finland never finished strong in eurovision
Glad to have heard them live a couple years ago.
I will never forget watching this edition of Eurovision. When I heard these guys I told my parents they will win 100% no point in watching the rest.
And I just went to bed.
Next day my parents told me they did win and I said , I told you so :D
This was the first and only Eurovision final I´ve ever watched, and me and my brother had a blast watching this and celebrating the win. Oh, fun times
I remember watching this my jaw just dropped and I been listening to lordi sense amazing band xx 🤘🏻
I must say I don't usually watch these "reacts to" -videos, but kinda stumbled into this one. And... you seem really genuine and looks like you are having some honest fun there. Subscribed, I will be returning customer. Greetings from Finland, those warm words about our dear Lordi warms my old heart. :)
I remember watching this live. It was the only time me and my dad ever felt invested in Eurovision, and then they went and won! He still brings it up every so often when the popularity of rock and metal in Scandanavia comes up
Hi Beth, I absolutely love this song, one of the best, if not THE best Eurovision entries ever in my opinion, the costumes are insane, i watched Eurovision that year and Lordi were the best act there by a country mile!! 😀 😀 🤘 🤘 🎸 🎸 🎸
🎵 Hard Rock Hallelujah 🎵
This particular Eurovision Soundtrack fell right on my birthday. I remember watching it with my mom. It was the first time I ever heard Lordi. Today they are one of my favorite Bands, and Lordi is actually what made me connect with my best Friend of over 10 years :) . They are amazing and so much fun on stage.
Hands down,best performance in Eurovision and it happened when we hosted that lol. Love from Greece ♥
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS SO COOL!! I really dug on this video. :D
They won the year that I was born and my mom loved they’re performance
When she showed me the video of their performance I was about 7 and I cried cause they were so scary to me 😂
Aaaaand now I feel old.
meanwhile in 1997, i was just 4 years old and my dad showed me iron maidens entire live after death video tape, not even the HUGE mummified eddie they had hanging over the drummer during the song powerslave at that tape scared me. iron maidens albums covers never scared me either
@@tylerdavis6389 I’m sorry 😅
Seen them live a couple of times since this, and they were amazing. See them again in a couple of weeks
Seen these twice in the UK and are absolutely fantastic to see perform
2 quick comments. Firstly in an interview Terry Wogan said that although not a fan of metal he admired them for being live. He said a lot of tinkering is done normally at Eurovision but these folks were the real deal.
Secondly if you are looking for Xmas songs they have one that is brilliant fun. Check out "Merry, Blah, Blah, Blah". You won't regret it.
.
They are great
I have been hoping for you to react to Ghost for some time now.
Spillways, Dance Macabre and Square hammer are so catchy.
if you like this incredible band, anytime you can hear and react to HEAVYSAURUS!
they are amazing live
You can tell exactly how much influence Lemmy and Motorhead was for the band, ive been loving Lordi for years!!
I am sp looking forward to see them open for Sabaton this spring.
Saw this live with a bunch of friends. Most fun we ever had with a singing contest on tv ever.
I was too young to really be interested in these kinds of shows when this happened but later I found Lordi because my mother, fully supporting of my monster obsession, bought a Lordi T-shirt from a thrift store because she thought I'd like it. And she was right. I'm pretty sure the shirt was there because this was around the time this specific lineup had recently changed (I think it was Awa, the keyboardist, that had left around that time). And they've been one of my top 5 favourite bands ever since. The entire fun of this band is that they don't take themselves too seriously. Most of their songs are really goofily over the top, at least lyrics wise, and it's absolutely awesome. And then thanks to that some of the more serious songs hit that much harder on an emotional level I think (Children of the Night and It Snows In Hell are two of those that have always stuck out to me).
Unfortunately I've only seen them live once at the Tuska metal festival (my mother took me as a birthday gift, it was great even though I didn't get to stay for even a full day). The pyro was quite tasteful, considerable but nothing over the top. Fun and fitting. I haven't watched any show recordings in a couple years so I don't know how well Mr.Lordi sings in concert nowadays but back when I was able to hear it there it very good. He has that quality to his voice thay even if he doesn't quite hit a note, it kind of feels like part of the character and it makes the experience that much more interesting in my opinion.
Glad to see this band get some love, they deserve it.
First of all: Merry Christmas to you! I hope you‘re having a wonderful day and are enjoying it to the fullest!
Ever since I‘ve discovered „Lordi“, I‘ve been wondering how to actually sing like Lordi does without ruining my vocal cords. So, if you could explain that a little more, I would be grateful!
Anyway, have a beautiful Christmas time and awesome holidays!
All the best!
Lordi have just re-released Hard Rock Hallelujah as a single, featuring the Werewolf from the German version of The Masked Singer!
I love this band so much! :D
ant they won it too, which was totally awesome :D \m/
great reaction, you had a lot of fun watching this 1 xD lol
I am very happy I have tickets to the Lordi / Sabaton / Babymetal tour this spring! As a vocal coach I belive you (and we who watch your reactions) would get alot out from watching a few videos by the japanese kawaii/death/prog/pop/metal/idolcore... band "Broken by the scream" videos.
dude im going tooo i hope youll like it
Thanks for watching this. I really enjoyed this song, glad you did too. Also, I appreciate you noticing the backing singer, especially the keyboardist. She really makes this song for me.
Many people think that awa, (the keyboard player), is singing in the background, but in reality it is the backing singer, man.
It's really intriguing to hear a professional's breakdown of Lordi's vocal cords. I'm learning alot! :D If I may suggest (and you are up for it), I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Finland's 2008 Eurovision constesters' performance, Teräsbetoni - Missä miehet ratsastaa. The singer's highnotes are insane!
All love from Finland 🥰🙏🇫🇮
Will see these live next April along side Babymetal, when they open for Sabaton.
Me gustó mucho el vídeo no me había visto algo igual después del grupo Kiss su letra inprecionante
I love it when vocal coahces recognize growling greatness. it really isnt all that easy. some people just think they only scream. there is so much more to it.
They're my favorite band... I adore them so much... 🤤🥰
If you liked "Hard Rock Hallelujah" check "Blood Red Sandman" from the same group. It's based on "The Blair Witch Project".
Imho the Keyboarder (I think Awa at this point) is carrying hard in this song. Her voice and harmonics are really bringing it together, especially in the chorus.
Leena has an amazing voice & does a superb job on backing vocals. Something quite unique to Eurovision as the rules state no live instruments, but all vocals must be live. At that point & even today when on tour Lordi would prerecorded backing vocals. Her vocal talents were criminally underused live. If they didn’t re-record the backing track then the bass will be by Karma & not Ox as Karma was the bass player on the 2006 Arockalypse album despite Ox being on the album cover. And with Amen leaving the band earlier in the year, that only leaves Mr. Lordi from this lineup. Leena (Awa) still performs with Sampsa (Kita) & Niko (Kalma) on occasion when not touring with her current band. With Sampsa she gets to sing live which is awesome.
Its not her high note you can hear there. Its the vocalist of Thunderstone aka. that KISS guy. Mr. Lordi says in the Lordiary book that they were just showing Awa everytime for some reason.
I just saw Lordi live last week, they still got it! Altho, from the eurovision lineup, only Mr. Lordi is left, but ofc everyone that came along after this are also fantastic.
Their concerts are so much fun, I mean at least here in Finland where they get kinda silly. I don't think Mr. Lordi's speaks have as much personality in English like it has in Finnish, because, you see, he has a northern Finnish dialect/accent. He's a true stand-up comedian.
Current lineup:
Mr. Lordi, vocals
Kone, guitar
Hiisi, bass
Mana, drums
Hella, keyboards
I was so bummed out when when Ox left but I'd kind of had a feeling he was starting to want to go elsewhere.
But when Amen left, that shit threw me off kilter super hard for like three four months (if my sense of time is correct). I'm still not quite over that but at least the two went in quick succession so it kind of makes it easier. I'm already largely used to Hiisi so I'm hoping that that will also soften the blow a bit, help me get used to Kone. It's still such a weird damn feeling suddenly remembering that Amen isn't there anymore, I've never had that before regarding a band's lineup change.
@@veronicawexel1291 Hiisi and Kone have incredible chemistry on stage! It's like they're flirting with each other the whole show😂
It was definitely weird not seeing Amen on stage, but Kone was so good that it didn't bother me much.
Tbh I love to see more monsters, especially Finnish ones like Hiisi. It's nice to get our folklore out in the big world🤭
@@CosplayBuddies The more monsters the better, completely agreed.
Amazing as always, I've been asking for decades for people to react to Sisaundra Lewis audition from the voice, she is probably the best voice that has ever participated (Heard she even coached Celine Dion LMAO and she somehow did not won the voice. Either way Loved the vod as always Beth, Take Care!
Thanks for the super chat Dan!
Lordi is brilliant, Would you love a monster man is also great
The year Lordi won, I was in first grade and that halloween everyone in my class dressed as Mr. Lordi.
I remember watching this. Even the other contestants were rooting for 'the monsters' to win! Apparently it takes the lead singer something like 3 hours to get makeup an costume on. That's dedication to your craft!
you've discovered THE SCARCHTIC CIRCLE GATHERING, glad you enjoyed💀💀🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀Lordi was formed mid 90s for those not aware, 30 year anniversary at this point! Still going strong, you should react to live clips of Lordi to really get the experience down or music videos ;)
As a Swede with a long standing boycott of the shit music they usually play at the competition, it was so refreshing and funny that this one won. Listening to it again it's basically pop but still controversial enough to break the "schlager" theme of the competition 😆

I remember that at the time before actual contest, fans of metal and rhard ock music all around Europe where taking in phbb forums and making Lordi to win. It was planned that fans in all countries would shamesly vote for Lordi to win in big numbers. At least that time voting your pick of the song could be done by like phone call, can't remember could it be done by text. But anyway it was like "For the first time we have serious metal/hard rock competor and we will stick it to the those posh pop singers " etc mentality. I remember those talks and it was glorious to witness that fans of this kind of music stick together and did give the big effing middle finger to the opressors! And also after it metal became more of main stream all around Europe... Well, at least in Finland, as it was first time ever we won Eurovision and it was done Monster rock/metal band!!! Metal music did officially come from underground to salongs etc and now we have like metal singers singing Yule songs in churches and other crazy shit!
Could you react to Rändajad- Eurovision sound of 2009 by estonia.
привет детка, czcams.com/video/aZYG-9usGPI/video.html&ab_channel=AndreAntunes очень интересно, что т скажешь) тф красивая кстати.
You need to check out the Opening of the 2007 Eurovisions with that song.
I just love the idea of a grandma sitting in front of tv to listen to pop, and that video happens.
Lordi was all about show!
The keyboard player was probably the only trained musician in the band. She was a piano teacher and returned to that job. Lordi is a movie cameraman who likes 80’s horror movies. Who could’ve guessed? You probably did.
I remember that. It was epic. I liked the music, but this was so against the whole establishment of the traditional ESC ... and then they actually won!!! That showed that Europe was ready for something different :-)
This turned out to be the first song played at our wedding. Not unhappy about that!!
The only legitimate winners for me, never watched another
Finland is this alternate universe where Metal is their "pop music" land where metal bands get played on radio stations. I love that Findland just embraced it that year for Eurovision and just went for a full out fun yet heavy metal song.
It must be weird for Finish bands to tour the U.S going to small venues when they sell out stadiums back home.
Lordi is actually established band who was around before Eurovision and is still touring internationally. They are by no means one hit wonder.
Can't wait to see these,Baby Metal and Sabaton in 1 gig next year.
It's gonna be so good
I know I'm a few months late but do want to share a few fun details about Lordi.
1) I read in a comment somewhere on CZcams(2nd hand source) that Mr Lordi was really sick the week of eurovision. He says this is the worst performance he has ever done, and it is the clip with Lordi that has the most views. He feels a bit mad about it.
Story 2. I watched Lordi live in september 06 in sweden. Lordi as main band. Opening act. Sabaton. Now, this year. Sabaton had a big tour and in their european tour the opening act was.... Lordi.
It just feels so... Poetic. The circle is now compete.
I bought tickets for The Tour to End All Tours, they're going to open, but since BABYMETAL are going to be guest, most likely for them and then Sabaton. That will be weird, I hope in a good way 😄!
🤘🏻🦊⚡
(PS try 🎧Shine👍🏻)
I love the 80's Alice Cooper / Kiss vibe about it, haha classic.. Thank you Beth!
They musically have that vibe but their look was pretty clearly taken from GWAR, especially Mr. Lordi's costume.
Mr Lordi is huge Kiss-fan!
@@anonamatron Mr. Lordi didn't know about GWAR before in true American fashion they started fake controversy.
@@plopplop9419 Yeah he is totally Kiss fan.
@@Mecha82 But he just happens to look really similar to Oderus..
You should see (not necessarily react to) the live in Helsinki version, when they had a big celebration concert in the streets near the waterfront. 1,000,000 people turned up, which is amazing on its own, but even moreso when you consider the population of Helsinki and surrounds!
90k in attendance + over 1 million tv viewers
They actually made a movie featuring their costumes. It's called dark floors
Can’t believe you have never reviewed ABBA! Take a look at “Summer Night City” from Wembly 1979 concert!😊. Love your reviews!
If you think this is commitment to character, you should see the behind the scenes footage. They were always in character. They even went shopping in these outfits.
Funny thing is that all the old people almost rose to barricades saying "We can'tsend this kinda band in Eurovision". After they won even they were singing it. 8t was Finland's first and only win so far.
And after that we've seen metal bands in this competition from Iceland, even Germany if I remember correct.
absolutely loved it when i saw them win on televison back in the days when i was a teenager
Mr. Lordi likely doesn't subscribe to christianity other than drawing themes from it, and the man behind the monster, Tomi Putansuu, after a quick googling, is more likely a cultural christian ("belongs" to the church in name only, and doesn't really practice religion), because that's just how things roll for people of his age in Finland. I say this, because I found no evidence of him actually being a religious person.
If anyone can find mentions to the opposite from credible sources, don't hesitate to educate.
Got to love a bit of Lordi. This was quite a profitable bit of gambling event. It's a shame that we don't get more variety in the Eurovision
Rock on!
That "female" backing vocals is from masked singer wich is Pasi Rantanen from Thunderstone then
His voice is better than 99% of todays vocals..
Lordi has many great songs, they are awesome. Please react to the new Tarja song "Eye Of The Storm".
Ellos son unas de mis bandas favoritas.. mi canción favorita es its snow in hell
I got home pretty drunk and this was on the TV, you could call in to vote at a cost around 1£/ call.
And I did, 36 times, it was an expensive phonebill 🤣🤣
Worth it, they won !!
The person singing the amazing backgrounds is actually a he and also not the keyboardist but the figure in the black cloak on the right. Blows your mind, right! 🫣 all the cameramen were also really confused about it and kept shooting her instead of him
Lordi! 🤘🏻🇫🇮
You could react to Tarja new song, Eye of the storm. Please! 🤘🏻😊
The ONLY Evrovision winner that everybody remembers
i watched it every year and with this my parents were: ok, the world has ended right now and i was like hell yeah finally something i like!
I've always thought that if you close your eyes and don't listen too carefully, this song could pass as a Bon Jovi song. ;)
The crazy part was that they never broke character in the sunny and balmy Greece.
This was the best eurovision performance ever
I have to correct here - Kita, the drummer here, is still rocking on. He participated in some other contest (might have been Eurovision qualification in Finland) with his own name and face and that's why they decided to part ways. The following drummer, Otus, sadly passed away, and now they have Mana playing the drums. Awa, the keyboardist here, left the band in 2012, the bassist Ox 2019 and guitarist Amen earlier in 2022.
I had a completely different experience to most ppl watching that Eurovision cause I was a fan of Lordi before that.
It was quite exhilarating to see them just SWEEP the entire event 😆😆😆
They make them different up here in the Laplands Beth.
Would you do a video on Dan Vasc?
Lordi is still great and make good stuff, though Eurovision win really hit em hard with bad contracts, which in the end resulted that only Mr. Lordi is left in the band from Eurovision lineup and also he had really bad burn-down from workload and financial struggles.
"I feed you my love" is my other favorite from the show. Margaret Berger

That was fun. On a side note, you might want to get a mic stand that is not sitting on your table/desk. As you're arm is on the surface and your bouncing, with such joy at a fun song, I can hear a thumping in the mic as it's bouncing around too. ;)
I hear a thumping from your arm when you watch Beth too, so it all evens out.
