It made me laugh when I heard people saying that Lordi is the kind of music kids are listening to these days. This is 80's hair metal from my generation 20 years ago. Still, it's the best thing that has ever been on Eurovision and a good kick up the pants for a usually dull music show. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Lordi were extremely entertaining, as well as being the best song in the compatition (not that that's saying much).

Still not as good as Latvia's entry, but still entertaining nonetheless!

To enlighten you: it is a festivity during which all european countries send one artist/musician/joke to this festival as an representative for that county. All artists sing a song and all the countries give votes to the other countries. Normally the music performed during this festival is honey sweet pop stuff... the thing that makes me disgust normally  ------------- Interested in my reviews?

if the "example" set by Finland's "metal superheroes" Lordi is any thing to go by, and the white suits and rappers are now passe for Eurovision, what artistes should we be training up for next year's competition???
1) Iron "Spidermen" Maiden
2) Black "Iron Man" Sabbath
3) "Incredible Hulk" Hawkwind
4) Judas "Judge Dread" Priest
5) Kate "Wonder Woman" Bush
6) Ian "Green Giant" Gillan

So basically there were all these hot women at the contest (or so I've heard, not that I actually watched this atrocity, heaven forbid  ) and yet the people's favourites were a bunch of Finnish guys in Gwar-like outfits .
I mean I understand that people don't want to think with their brains; but when it gets to the point that they don't want to think with their, ermm, private parts, either, one can only say: 'Oh Lordi, Lordi.'

Quite. Wannabe pop stars singing cheesy songs, where one votes for the winner? Clearly such a show would never be popular in the US. |

| I hate Eurovision and I was extremely happy when I saw that Lordi won the contest. I don't care about Lordi's music but at least the people who voted expressed the message "We don't want those cheesy ridiculous songs any more" |

Just as long as they don't all go voting for their neighbours like all those Balkan countries do. 
I suppose the USA aren't hard pressed for cheesey dance or MOR rock bands.

Neil Sedaka? Mariah Carey? Any member of the Osmonds? -------------

Not Mariah - even though she sings rubbish, she can still sing.
Talent has no part in such a song contest - with the possible exception of ABBA, back in 1974. The Osmonds would be perfect - or maybe David Cassidy and the Partridge Family. Don't go entering any Country and Western though - the Germans didn't even make the top 10, if I remember correctly. 
I like the idea of Neil Sedaka - he writes the correct style of lyrics; "Coma, coma, down doobie doo down down..." ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

Latvia's a capella tune was pretty good. The UK entry was awful, it reminded me of "Hard Knock Life" by Jayzee.

Yep, I think the Tap should sue for plagiarism. Lordi's song sounds like a large dollop of Rock and Roll Creation, combined with a small soupcon of Stonehenge (or is it the other way round?) ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |

I actually laughed when I heard something like this 'when the day of ROCKening comes' or 'the day of ROCKening is here'... I dont know... something with 'ROCKening' in it... (I dont laugh out loud at much... just in my head.) absolutely hillarious... taking them seriously would be like... well... I dont even know... Oh! I got one! Taking Cradle of Filth seriously! Or Slipknot maybe... ah... I guess what Im trying to say here is... Lordi is awesome. I hate them to death. But theyre still awesome. |
