For those Americans who are unaware of Lordi, here are some videos!

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 Wink) and yet the people's favourites were a bunch of Finnish guys in Gwar-like outfitsWacko.  
 
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.'

Thanks Tristan.
 
It sounds pretty.....ummmmm.............cheesy.


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"

I read that USA are so impressed with Eurovision that they want to copy it. Each state will enter its own song.

They are playing cheerleaders?!

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?

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

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

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...

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..."

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

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!
