As a Finn, the time we sent Lordi to ESC was the only time I actually liked our entry - and this was before they won, when half of the country was going "Why would we send a band like this, they will never win and will just embarrass us", as if we had a history of placing well anyway, and/or hadn't sent embarrassing acts before.

Then they won and were suddenly national darlings. The band leader's home city even renamed its central square "The Lordi Square". I happened to visit the square that same year and already there was a shop there dedicated to Lordi merchandise. I don't know how Eurovision winners are usually treated in their home countries, but I feel like Finland knew we'd never win again and celebrated accordingly.

My guess is the ESC needed some fresh air, and Lordi was different and interesting. Certainly kindled my interest in the whole thing. And I think it's awesome that they got celebrated like that!

I have to admit, I haven't paid much attention to Lena, but that's mostly because of Stefan Raab. I have no patience for that guy. But I guess he did a great job promoting her (sending her to the ESC twice!) and now she's hosting/participating in German music/tv shows.
