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.

I figured it out - it's "Poison" by Alice Cooper, with something from Dio that I haven't identified yet...

Lordi is actually the Dixie Chicks looking for a new audience.

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?)

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

^I dont remember the first 16 entrants (except that th UK entry was incredably cheesy) and I turned off after Lordi's performance.

I noticed quite a few of the Euro entries sounded like a cross between Shakira and the Welsh warbler Bonnie Tyler.
I even heard an Abba clone!

Knowing our luck they'll send a Brittany Spears clone instead.

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..."

Argh, Marry Banilow!
I don't know why Ireland just don't send Chris de Burgh.
I don't think Barrow Manilow is American is he? Maybe he is...

Just be glad the USA doesn't compete. We'd probably send Barry Manilow and then you'd REALLY hate us!

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. 
What will they call it?
The WorldVision Song Contest?

Including the UK?
I hear that a neo-con band, "Blair & the Liars", have been going down well over there......
