Ah come on, this is Eurovision! It's meant to be terrible!

And Lithuanias entry ain't?

I'm watching the semifinal in america and it's not the same without sarcastic commentry.

Is Armenia in Europe? I'd argue that it's more of an Asian country.

Ah, so you guys have the same type of commentary on it all?

Ours take the piss out of everything in the contest - the mindless lyrics, the bimbo girls, meaningless songs and everything

Blatant "vittuilua" as we would say

I voted for Lordi
Too bad ( ) that The Netherlands were on after Finland. They looked like the prey rabbits of the Lordi Monster, as some Dutch host said. But on the other hand, they sucked anyway.

Is Lordi similar to GWAR musically as well?

I think they did the same in France, and some people sent letters to complain about that... sad saaad world...

eurovision = the thing that should not be.

(yeah, I like old Metallica).

Here's a good taste of Lordi for those (like me) who had never heard of them before this whole debacle.

It's really quite good! This particular video appears to borrow the theme of Evil Dead, which is a major plus.

Yeah, I heard my first bunch of them last night, and they can actually rock out alright. It's kinda like tongue-in-cheek metal rocking out, at least that's my first impression, I could be way off.

Hmmm some other music video borrowed that theme... I'm wondering who it was?

For those who want to see Lordi, here's a stream from Dutch television:

Lordi starts around 1h10mins.

Your going to miss Terry Wogan's withering put downs and constant jokes about the rigged voting between countries!

Thats the best thing about the UK coverage. He almost predicts the points that each country gets.

And Malta never give us a damn thing!

I first heard Lordi maybe last year, they had an article in Terrorizer magazine!

they wont win it though. the worst possible person to be the winner usually wins it
