Dima Bilan Finally Wins Eurovision

Bilan Mullet

So he’s finally done it. Just when you though there could not be anything more frightening than last year’s winners, the monster costumed hard/glam Finnish rockers Lordi… behold Dima Bilan’s mullet.

Last nights win was Russia’s first in Eurovision. Moreover, the fact that Britain came in last could also not have escaped unnoticed by the Kremlin.

    Lordi won two years ago, not one. The winner of last year’s Eurovision contest was Marija Šerifović, from Serbia.
