I agree with you that metal music runs in our veins, even though it is sometimes difficult to remember. Every time I have lived abroad I have noticed that Finns are more into metal music as a nation than some other cultures, such as southern European and Mediterranean cultures. I hope the same that TB will win, and I am sure metalhead around Europe won't let us down. Good points Paschendale, thanks!

Finland is a heavy metal nation,,, there are such as bloody good finnish metal bands,, this is what Finland is good at.. so considering TB shouldnt be considered a joke,, Kari Tapio would have done the same flop as Jari Sillanpää, that was going to be the joke of the year... I dont know wether TB will succede or not, I HOPE THEY WILL,, the sure thing is that the european metal community wont let TB down....

I'm not sure about the rules you are asking. Actually I don't know. I must disagree with you a little. I don't believe older people here in Finland listen to Teräsbetoni. You can compare the record sales of Teräsbetoni and some evergreen artists in Finland to see that Teräsbetoni is not even near to those figures of evergreen artists. Anyhow, many youngsters listen to Teräsbetoni, for sure. The reason why Teräsbetoni is sent to ESC is that people gave most of the votes for Teräsbetoni. People believe Teräsbetoni will gain attention enough in order to win, and it is really possible. The point in ESC is about creating attention and interest. Even though many people cannot stand Lordi, they managed to win in ESC. I did not expect Lordi to win, even though I knew they could gain attention enough to win. You're right, Lordi and Teräsbetoni are much different musically. Both provide good shows, even though I'm not their fan. Oh, just to remind, I really appreciate Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni) as a singer. He is talented and I do enjoy his singing, but I just don't like that much Teräsbetoni's records. I really hope they will win the contest. It would be great. Niki, thanks for your comment. I’m not sure about the rules you are asking. Actually I don’t know. I must disagree with you a little.

It's called Eurovision song Contest, and i really think that Teräsbetoni represents very well the kind of music Finnish people are listening right now, young and even older people. With other countries, like Greece, the things are not like that. Greek people (even young) don't like foreign music, they prefer to listen their own 'buzuki-pop', that has nothing to do with their this years representer. I think Teräsbetoni is really good and fresh appearence in ESC, it has nothing to do with Lordi, musically. Are there some kind of rules about what kind of music we should send to ESC?
