Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

With a surprise finish the season of Kuorosota (War of choirs) came to an end. I was pretty certain Lordi and his Rovaniemi choir would win but they lost in the final against Jussi Selo's (of Uniklubi fame) choir from Hämeenkyrö. Or other words the kids with heart problems won over the elderly people of Lapland as that's what's it all about, charity. Hanna Pakarinen and her Lappeenranta choir (and troubled youth) came third. Watch Lordi battle it out with Jussi in Final countdown , featuring also the other choir leaders Ressu Redford, Kaija Koo, Jonsu and Hanna Pakarinen.

The Kuorosota season took off tonight in Helsinki's Peacock Theater and for this blogger it was the best start so far. Or if you have Mr Lordi, Hanna Pakarinen, Kaija Koo and Ressu Redford in same programme topped with Chisu presenting her new single Kohtalon oma , what else can you ask? The voting is on and Mr Lordi led Rovaniemi choir took the early lead while Jonsu's Espoo choir was at the last place and in danger to drop put next week. Check the videos and stuff here .
