22 May 2006 - Finland Wins Eurovision Song Contest

Written by Pmachine 22 May 2006, 09:05 589 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)
Finland was the surprise winner of the 51st Eurovision song contest on Saturday with the monster-themed rock band Lordi beating 23 other competitors. Lordi scored 292 points from telephone voters in 38 countries with its song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" in a performance in Greece that both shocked and amused viewers.

Finishing in second place was Russia with 248 points going to Dima Bilan's "Never let you go". Bosnia was third with 229 points going to the group Hari Mata Hari singing the melodic "Layla". Performances featured a wide range of styles from disco and rap to ethnically inspired tunes.

The Finnish band thanked viewers for voting for their song, which featured the lead singer hoisting a double-headed axe over his head in a performance inspired by 1970s rock band Kiss. "What this has shown is that there are different styles of music than just pop and rock," Mr Lordi, the lead singer of the band, told a news conference. "That should be the goal of Eurovision."

Although widely associated with kitsch and trite lyrics in the west of the continent, the annual contest has drawn increasing interest from viewers in eastern Europe. The Eurovision contest was broadcast live across Europe with an estimated 100 million viewers tuning in and some 25,000 visitors and journalists arriving in Athens for the event.

22 May 2006 - Boy George Sentenced

??????		Boy George must work in an Aids hospice as part of his sentencing for wasting police time. The former Culture Club icon was given a five day community service order in March, after police found 13 bags of cocaine in his flat last year.

Having avoided a possible prison sentence of around five years, the star, real name George O'Dowd, will now be required to fulfil his sentence in the undisclosed hospice.

George, 44, had earlier spoken of a fear that he would be asked to collect rubbish in New York City, in full gaze of the public and paparazzi. However, he appears to have been involved in the details of his sentence, commenting: "You can choose things so I'm going to work in a hospice which is good."
