American FIRST REACTION to LORDI - HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH (Eurovision 2006 WINNER)

[@Ruinwyn]

The singer designed and made the costumes for the band. His day job was working with special effects.

[@bobby.matiro]

That was the best win in esc history. Nobody expected them to win from first impression. Then they smashed it. I get goosebumps everytime. Just a good mood song🤣🤣🤣

[@ville_alasaari]

You just made 5 million firends :D

[@uglarthenosmart4573]

Durring whole Eurovision they were in their masks and costumes. All rehalsals, interviews, and performance ( semi-fimal and final). They do not show their face all 2 weeks. And they have no foto without masks thats true dedication. Greetings from Poland. Mayby look on Euphoria song from Sweden.

[@DBoy38]

Actually there were some photos that got leaked to the press and ended up published on several newspapers and magazines leaving both the band and the readers very piss off about it. Also drummer Kita (Sampsa Astala) got kicked out of the band after performing unmakes with his own band.

[@majordisorder73]

singing is actually live. Answering the question why you got the video in Spanish, is the it's been broadcasted all over Europe and beyond :)

[@Axx234]

everything was sung live; the only exception from this rule was this year, they allowed recordings for backing vocals and things like that because of the pandemic

[@xxlix437]

Exactly, the singing always has to be live in normal years. One band this year (Iceland) didn't perform live at all, though, since one of them was tested positive, and they instead showed a recording of a rehearsal. Still, that was an exception due to special circumstances.

[@JekyViews]

@@xxlix437 - what they showed was still sung live so it followed the rules either way. :)

[@pooferss6056]

Australia as well, their singer wasn't allowed to travel in case she would catch covid...

[@gfisher1984]

one of the most iconic winners with ABBA and Celine Dion. Loved your reaction, it reminded me when I saw it for the first time.

Regarding the intro: usually during each eurovision the intro that presents the artist shows footage of places from the hosting country. 2006 was hosted by Greece so all the intro clips show bits and pieces of areas in Greece or Athens.

[@squarebelgium]

I think as an American he doesn't grasp the European TV landscape. This show is aired live on a tv network in every participating country (and beyond). Every network sends a 'commentator' like in sports to the venue and they will update the audience in their own language during these little movies. In this video you see the video (and hear the commentator) of the Spanish tv network TVE, this particular show is in Greece and produced by the Greek tv network and the hosts of the show speak English. You cannot get more European than that, can you? 😉

[@raffaelae1020]

@@squarebelgium true. The UK usually sends Graham Norton. His commentary is hilarious 😂

[@squarebelgium]

@@raffaelae1020 so true his commentary is legendary. It's also hard to explain to Americans that the voting is the most exciting part of the show... but as soon as my American friend experienced the show and voting live with a bunch of people at a party she was sold for life! 😉😊😊

My first reaction as a kid was literally: WTF??? But now I love it, I'm happy that thid won, this shows that Eurosong is very diverse.

[@Kyubone]

Same! I was 12 and wasn't into rock (yet lol) and thought the song was bad and that they were scary haha. Me now: HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH!!!

[@HARIB0]

i was five years old when lordi won and i was a huge fan of them! i thought they were so cool lol

[@lisabelw7782]

I actually voted for them as a 12 year-old :D even my parents liked the performance

[@olveaustlid4383]

Lordi got my vote in 2006. Worthy winners! Btw: All performances are live. The only exception ever was this year with backing vocals because of covid, and Icelands contribution because one member had tested positive (they sent them as recording). An amazing show!

The intro video before every song is simply put there to allow the stage to be set up for the next performer - remember that this is ALL live, and with every act having completely different staging! (it's a miracle, honestly)

[@cataclysmiceas]

the intro part is called a postcard. its a short film showing the interests of the artist(s).

[@ScreamerXremaercS]

The Best Eurovision song ever, so happy it won that year

[@evangeliar.7600]

1:53 during the postcards the stage is getting ready. They showed Greece because it was in Greece that year

[@emanueledelferraro4979]

Maneskin - zitti e buoni. They are the winner from this year contest

[@Wriwnas1]

yes, the fire came out of his mike/axe. Have been watching Eurovision for 30 years, 1st time I voted. They deserved it. The live was not sung greatly but the song is solid, the studio version is fantastic.

[@tapanim6576]

This song is awesome and Lordi has many great songs and they have released several albums.

[@silsilsilly]

Intro is called a postcard, it gives the organisation time to set up the stage for next act and its usually showing parts of the host country.

They were the last band to win until this year . You should do a reaction to the intermision act from this year where winners from previous years sing a part of their songs , Lordi included . Interval act - Rock the roof its called .

[@agubaia]

one of the best bands ever in the Eurovision

[@jameswg13]

The also did a performance at this year's Eurovision while in their own country And nope by the rules it has to be live singing

Lol this song was the very first metal song I ever heard, I was hooked right away 😁 I was 9 or 10 years old and no-one understood why I loved it so much 😂

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

That's one great reaction. Thanks!

[@alikiap2774]

All the singing and back vocals where LIVE back then.

[@Ruinwyn]

This was the first year pre-recorded backing vocals was allowed and that was a test partly to keep delegation sizes small. More than one act had troubles in Semis because they tried to style the performance on the fly with audience, and backing track bit them in the ass.

[@KimOfDrac]

When they won the entire neighbourhood was screaming and cheering as if we had just won a world championship in Sweden. It was epic!

[@liisarantila7397]

I cant take it the dog is so cute, also that is probably the best song my country has sent to eurovision

[@agaz13]

Lordi - Would You Love A Monsterman, Devil Is A Lose, I Dug A Hole In The Yard For You (2019, Opening Eurovision 2007

[@EmoBearRights]

The music is recorded before but the singing is live - both rules of Eurovision. There's a really cute video of the German guy, the Norwegian guy and the Ukrainians all headbanging to these guys when they performed in the interval between the performances and the voting announcements this year. Ironically a rock song and the Finns sent another rock band who were happy that they got their best result in years.

Eurovision songs have to be sung 100% live. No autotune or any artificial help, no recordings. This year they relaxed the rules a bit due to the pandemic but I think they're going back to normal next year.

Just pointing before they went to Athens to sing in the festival the majority of the population and the government of Finland didnt support them. They even said Lordi's members ate babies for Christmas. It was told that the own band had to pay for the festival (It is usually funded by the government). So congratulations to the band. I voted for you.

The competition was indeed in Greece, but if you are hearing spanish, it's because the you have a video from a SPANISH broadcast.
