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 ) 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. Edited by NaturalScience - May 22 2006 at 16:43 |

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"

Lordi are pioneers of Novelty/Cheesy Prog??
Didn't watch Eurovision, it so boring, so I didn't watch TV on Saturday.

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

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

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? |

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... |

If Barry's busy we could send Kenny Rogers!

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..." Edited by Certif1ed - May 23 2006 at 17:22 |

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! Edited by Geck0 - May 23 2006 at 18:08 |
