Frontman of the band Lordi Mr. Lordthat is Tomi Putaansuu52, will conquer the Eurovision stage this week by Erika Vikman with. The two perform an intermission number in Vienna, where Tanner talks about Suomi-energia.
There is a reason to celebrate, because it has been 20 years since the Lordi band’s victory. Even though Lordi did not qualify for the stage of the New Music Competition, the Eurovision community in Vienna will welcome the ambassadors of Hirviöhevi with joy.
But when it comes to preparing for the midterms, this was the situation in the week before the exams.
– I can say that not at all, amateurs train, damn it! Putaansuu chatters on the phone.
– We already did the preliminary work months ago, then we’ll see on the spot to see what’s wrong, he says.
The Lordi band will travel to Vienna at the beginning of this week, where the five-piece hula ballo will begin. Tomi Putaansuu refuses to say anything about the music of the intermission number. When asked about the elements of the show, he surprisingly says he doesn’t know.
– Really, hand on heart, I don’t know what happens on stage. We will be told that when we arrive in Vienna.
Lordi won the fives Hard Rock Hallelujah – with the song in 2006, and Erika Vikman again competed in fives in 2025 with the song Ich Komme.
A direct opinion about Finnish wisdom
Finland will be represented this year Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen Flamethrowerwith his song. Putaansuu said earlier that the piece did not burst into flames. He now states the same.
– It’s not Meits’ muse genre, but I don’t think it’s a bad song. I just can’t get hold of it. I understand what I’m hearing, but it doesn’t get under my feet or make my head twitch. It doesn’t tickle my nerves, he says.
However, he adds that he likes Lampenius’ violin riffs.
– But as a song, those melodies just don’t hit me.
Not on the radio channels he usually listens to Flamethrowers is ringing.
– I haven’t heard that song anywhere since I first heard it a couple of times, Putaansuu says.

Finland is at the top of the wise men’s betting statistics, but Lord’s point man does not start betting on the result in advance. He emphasizes that no one can know the thoughts of ordinary European TV viewers, who will follow the broadcast from their home sofas in Saturday’s finale.
– I can’t fucking know that, and neither can anyone else. Ask me a week from now on Sunday for an estimate, then you might find a strong estimate, he laughs.
Putaansuu drops a hint at the end of the call.
– We will have a surprise next week related to the Eurovision Song Contest, it is not directly related to the Eurovision Song Contest organization, but it will be on the side of this… Stay tuned, as they say, he says mysteriously.
