BBC Talking Point vs Eurovision

Lordi, Lordi, Lordi. What an act. A proper band playng proper instruments.

And kudos the the Germans. Country and Western.

The rest were just sining to backing tracks and classical session musicians.

The first time I have 'watched' the show for about 15 years all thanks to Lordi.

Think of all the true metal purists they probably annoy.

There seems to be a real split judging by the google blogsearch I made on Sunday, between "It's metal! Winning eurovision! OMG!" and "NO WAIT ITS THE WRONG KIND AARGH" "But dudes a metal song won Eurovision!".

Similarly there seems to be a "...but at what cost!" backlash of sorts in Finland which has been entering my-love-the-reindeer ballads for 1000 years to no effect.
