UK tactics for next year should be something like Springtime For Hitler.

Fuck yes. That'd be hilarious.

Everone's going to be dressed up as something next year, hopefully we'll at least get some sexy vampire women, I need my eye candy dammit.
 
Yeah, the Dutch guy (Paul de Leeuw) is one of the bigger fairies in showbiz, queen almost.




And the end-result is soo fucking funny!! Lordi FTW (Am I the only one who thinks the music is tame... especially compared to their looks...)

u aren't, most people think that

Lordi's website has died :lol
 
2 things.

1. Finland's entry was the best ever. :D
2. What the hell is with the UK entry? It did not fit the Eurovision critera about being friendly to everyone/equality/love/loss of love/metaphors for sex/kickass monsters.

Damn, I mist Paul's antics. What was going on? Was he making advances towards the presenter?:lol

Yup, saying stuff like "I really like your blouse..." and "do I give you my phone number after the 12 points or right away?" and in even a more gay way than usual.
He rocks.


Oh, and my personal favourites were Bosnia, Ukraine and of course Finland. And whoever thought up that "we are the wiiiiners" song should die, together with everyone who voted for them.

"I like your blouse" *wink*

"Would you like my mobile number now, or after?"

Presenter: "Give it to me now. I bet it's '69 69 69 '"

"No, it's <insert real-sounding (?) phone number here>"

:/ :lol

Also, I hadn't seen Lordi's song before they won - like I said, I only really tune in for the voting - but that was kickass :)
 
Eurovision sucks in many ways.. all the political votings are making it totaly predictable and boring. Also usually ~ 90% of the songs are really really bad.

Mostly everything is bad, but it's fun, it's kitch, it's cheese. And this year politics had nothing to do with the final winner...

What's Eurovision.. can someone explaint o me what this thread is all about.

Eurosong is song contest for members of European Broadcasting Union (or smth). Every country sends one song (can be selected by televoting, jury...) to this contest.
More on Wikipedia
 
So sad Lordi *rolleyes* had to win.
But it really one of the best acts, all the rest was pure kitsch. Lordi was wierd, but at least Lordi sang 'well'.

Europe sucks
 
someone YouTube this Lordi guy, I read about it in the papers this morning, sounds utterly hilarious that this occured in the Eurovision. I love the fact that people voted for them to win as well :lol

It's her fiance! :lol

A couple of days ago she ordered her bodyguard to take a journalist out of the press conference because she didn't like the question she was asked. Hilarious moments followed with the screaming female journalist being carried out of the press conference.
 
Eurovision is pure trash, a mirror of everything wrong in the European music, but at least the best sounding band won. Which is an accomplishment.

Go Lordi!

Pop sucks in every region most of the time. I like rock and heavy metal (especially the opera-metal combination introduced by the Scandinavian nations) and I loved Lordi but eurovision needs more beat. I say bring less pop and more eurodance. Scooter and DJ Bobo ftw!

You may be an ass in the gaming forum, but your words are wise and full of truth here. I salute you.

Did someone see the Polish guy ?

Funniest thing was that they Greek guys didn't get that it was a joke (he said "just kidding") but started immediately going like "no you can't do that it's against the rules".

Although I think that music is complete trash too, I'm gonna agree with you and say Eurosong needs more of this. It would certainly give the show more energy. Belgium or Holland should send something like good old 2 unlimited or Milk inc. :D. In that sense Lordi was also a welcome change form the usual crap. It's ugly music but it gives some variation to the festival.

But what I really want is some good songs in the contest. :p
 
That homoerotic innuendo coming from Paul de Leeux would have really pissed off the presenter (Sakis Rouvas – Greece’s prince of pop), because he has for years been heavily rumoured to be gay himself, and his sexuality has virtually become Greece’s worst kept secret.

:lol :lol

I thought he handeled it quite well, to be fair. He played the game along.
"I guess your phone number is 69 69 69 69"

And indeed, Paul de Leeuw was stupid hilarious. :) Also a fine touch of Yasmine (presenter of Belgium) to write "We love Kate Ryan" on the back of her score paper. :)

Finnish president Tarja Halonen was the first official to congratulate. Yes the one who looks like Conan.

Finnish prime minister Matti Vanhanen was quick to follow and one-up, revealing that behind his countryside image he is actually a fan of heavy (not sure if that was related to Lordi though).

Meanwhile in the bars, people got drunk

On Senaatintori, celebration was CRAZY:

Meanwhile, many newspapers - such as Gyllands Posten in Denmark, are reporting that the victory of Lordi will change Eurovision forever. This is said to be beginning of the end to the kitch fest known as Eurovision. More rock and higher quality shows are to be expected in the following years - beginning next year, in the 52nd Eurovision contest held in Helsinki.

Yeah, she deserved to make it to the finals, it was a pretty decent pop song. On the downside: our goverment spent thousands of euros on promoting her and sending her on a promo-tour. Way to blow the tax money...
