Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah (Finland) 2006 Eurovision Song Contest Winner Reaction! 

"You know it's going to be damn awesome... every performance it's a spectacle." This is actually THE performance that started the Eurovision spectacles. Before Lordi won, it was a bunch of people singing and standing still. They brought the whole show with pyros, makeup, rock - and swoop the whole floor with the rest. They got an enormous point total, by far the largest in Eurovision history.

Athens 2006: Lordi left 3 million Athenians in shock

Oh man, this still takes me back to that night. So strange to see a local band from my hometown here

Btw Finland is the rock/metal country in europe.

That was the day that Hell freezed over, We used to say that hell would freeze before Finland wins the Eurovision song contest before that.

LORDI rules!

I had so much fun that ESC.

ON THE DAY OF ROCKENING! This song really made my whole summer that year 😅

No no no no, that is Oh My Lordi, mustn't forget the i at the end!!

They said they didn't smell very good with this stage outfits, and I really believe that. But it's a damn catchy song

Mr Lordi does all the masks, clothes, make-up and choreography himself!

15 years later, seen this Eurovision performance multiple times and a FIRST time that I see the man in the black cape standing at the right side of the stage! 🤯😱😱🤯

Best best best! I was 9 years old when Lordi won, and Lordi is still the one who is best remembered among the winners, even though I am a Finnish woman, no one will ever win this💙

I like this song a lot! And untill this year they havent done performing for years, untill Rotterdam Eurovision. Because they said that "Holland"(The Netherlands) is the number 1 to perform with the audience. Really thankfull that they have said and done that🙏

At first a big shock that this song won it was so different from what we were used from winning songs, now after so many years i like it a lot. It was the only time Finland won. In Finland people love this kind of music, for instance Floor with Nightwish. In the Netherlands this kind of music is less appreciated i think.

Nothing but respect for this song

I went to that eurovusion song contest in greece i was air guitaring in the audience standing for abut 3 hours as well these song contests aint short

Great reaction! I was laughing when they counted the votes! None of the people around me expected a metal band to win Eurovision!😂 Btw, did you know that Lordi is opening for Sabaton on their next European tour?! 😉🤘

I was there!!!!Fabulous

March next year, European tour of Sabaton, The Hu and Lordi 🤘

in 2003 my mom's friend who got me into Ramstine a year earlier .. got me hooked on Lordi, they blew me away when they won in 2006

The best ever 🔥

You need to check out more Lordi, they have so many great songs. Blood Red Sandman, Would You Love A Monsterman?, Devil Is A Loser just to mention a few. Btw. Lordi is going to release 7 new studioalbums on the same day later this year. Never been done before, it's going to be epic.

i remember from a documentary that Lordi needs about 3 hours for his face makeup others have masks on

I remember watching the eurovision like so many times before when this came on. Such an eye opener for a 15 year old! Made my mom vote for them since i couldnt myself

Heavy metal rules and in Eurovision too! Lordi ... The most legit band of Finland in eurovision! They deserved the 1 st place in 2006 ! Greetings from a Greek fan of Lordi and Nightwish ! Kita ( Sampsa Astala ) in the drums , Mr . Lordi in front vocals , Amen in guitars and little support vocals , Awa in keyboards and back vocals ( Leena Peisa ) and OX in bass guitar and vocals ( Samer Elnahhal ) rocked down Athens that night !

In city of Rovaniemi, there is market square named after Lordi, the hometown hero, but better, there is also grill you can buy Lordi Kebab with chips or rice and that Kebab is worth of feast of the Damned....

I have no idea what I just watched but I’m pretty sure I’ll have some super weird dreams. I like weird though so it’s all good.

Finland should win again... We could give some visual Ride For LED-screens for today.! I know this is 2 year old... And Ou jes!! There would be Käärijä and Lordi.. 🥰

Sorry for asking again...please react to the interval act of Eurovision 2019... Shalva Band singing A million dreams... this will make you very emotional 🙏

This is why Finland is the number 1 Metal country in the world.

Omg i have been singing this along since i was 15 but i just now noticed what they are singing🤣🤣🤣🤣 rockalyps and on the day off rockoning 🤣🤣🤣 still love it tho

MORE LORDI!!!

I was in greece those years and i remember the conservatives yelling about the "satanists" lol

And of course I voted for Finland back then!!

Monsters they are monsters just listen to the lyrics

Mr Lordi (singer) do all their masks I believe.

didnt know that Darth Sidious had Lordi as his allies 😅 Some reason never noticed that guy with the cape behind "mummy"

6:15 : The main singer used to be a makeup artist so he made all the suits himself.

in filand their english/usa is their 3 or 4rd language, so not bad

What are they. They look like Klingon Zonbies. Maybe Romulan. Rockapocalypse.

Lordi has some cool songs: LORDI || Devil Is A Loser (MTV HD Version) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqZUpOEc4AU.html 😍😍😍 Alsoo singer's knees has faces on them.

Female keyboardist and drummer have left the band and know now their real identity.

Ah boyo, most folk cannae manage the lyrics, they just get absorbed by the costumes and then they get stolen away, but you m'lad, actually gave it a proper liste, at'a reaction!

I remember this, FINALLY some Hard Rock in Esc. Also check out Ruslana - wild dances(ukraine), don't remember wich year it won but it's a good song and a cool performance.

Damm can't believe Angus Young made a total make over in hell.

ROTFL!

Interested in doing another reaction? 🤔 There’s a lot behind the story but hit me up if you’re interested. (Downfall arising)

We need reaction for ukrainian's Eurovision entries)

A little context to this one: before this, Finland did not have a great history with the contest. They'd placed last a lot and ended up with zero points several times, which is pretty bad. The voting countries allocate 1-7 points and then 8, 10 and 12 points to their top three and there's a thing called "bloc voting" where neighbouring countries tend to vote for each other, so a country can usually at least pick up a few pity points from that. So ending up with zero really means you sucked. And Finland did it a few times. Then, out of nowhere, they enter this insane hard rock act that was nothing like the usual stuff and ended up with a record-breaking win. It was glorious.

Fun fact: the singer was sick that night so his performance nay not be 100%

The walking dead 😂

Tomi made it all, The singer: costumes, music, all
