I still wonder what they look without the masks though, as Terry wogan said, it must have taken ages to put on all that makeup.

Albania is "fairly close" I guess, I mean it's not Iceland...

Just checked one of the major Finnish newspapers Helsingin Sanomat (the main newspaper of the capital, Helsinki).
Not that I speak Finnish, but the top story is quite obvious, they are really happy over there!!

Actually Las Ketchup was singing about Duty Free. And if they had any sense they wouldn't have been flying IB.
I'm sure there's a tentative link to flying BA there somewhere.

I just found that Lordi has a Eurovision promotion webpage with the title "Europe, get ready to get scared".
An interesting quote from the webpage:
We have the same aesthetic as horror films. The scarier the film, the more fun it is. And rock music should be all about fun, Lordi says.
