Some Finns aren't convinced this heavy-metal band, decked out like a group of J.R.R. Tolkien refugees, should represent their placid Nordic nation. But chainsaw-wielding Lordi insists it's not a Satanic group, offering a song called Devil Is a Loser as proof. Final odds: 25-1 Lithuania: LT United We Are the Winners.
