Bogbas Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Yes they're pretty popular here, and probably have always been. But they're not über popular. So they don't stand up from the likes of nightwish, HIM etc. But back in the old days it was a boy band. Or not in a way that for example westlife is. Just all the girls liked them, and when you're at a certain age you just can't like anything that girls like So there was no way that me or my friends would call it a good band then. But times change and I think they're ok now. And their previous songs were good also. Oh and I'd like to see that too, because I don't know any proper heavy enthusiast. Or there's one, but he's too calm to get into fights... But back on the topic; I wonder if they're gonna make any adjustments to the voting procedure now. As there's a way to vote for your own country...
Twilight Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 But back on the topic; I wonder if they're gonna make any adjustments to the voting procedure now. As there's a way to vote for your own country... I don´t think that´s necessary... It´s pretty complicated to do and I´m pretty sure many people just doesn´t care so much about the Eurovision that they´d use Skype to vote they´re own country. And the grande finale is tonight, right? Can´t wait to see how Lordi will perform! Too bad Iceland didn´t got through...
Owen Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Well i saw Lordi perform in the semi-final and they were great! I'm sure The United Kingdom will give Finland nearly top marks! We like anything different like that! Really looking forward to it, this year! Anyone not want Lordi to win?
KingOfHyrule Posted May 20, 2006 Author Posted May 20, 2006 1st, Ireland haven't had a good song since Rock and Roll Kids (note to self, find that song later) Rock 'n' Roll Kids is my favourite song ever, it was always too good for a Eurovision entry. Well at least we won with it and really overly destroyed every other country that year - 1994 I believe
Owen Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 My Auntie LOVES the Ireland entry! Brian Kennedy ain't it? She said she saw him in a concert ages ago, and she fell in love with him. Shes loves strange men, she absolutely idolises Meat Loaf for example. Not a bad song actually, it may not win, but it will do well. Anything could happen!
ThePigMarcher Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Another one here cheering/voting for Lordi (Finland) , makes a decent change from all the cheesy euro-pop shite that we normally have to endure , although I don't think they can win it. Highly unlikely that I could put up with watching the whole contest though.
jakeee Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I almost hope that Lordi doesn't do well because next year Finland automatically goes to the final and we have someone like Antti Tuisku or Jari Sillanpaa representing us It would be shameful
dabookerman Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Switzerlands song is shit, its another stupid charity song about peace and crap.
EchoDesiato Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Heh, the blonde chick from Moldova EDIT: Huh, she puts clothes ON?
dabookerman Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Heh, the blonde chick from Moldova Terry wogans commentary - halarious stuff. STOP LOOKING AT THE FRIGGIN CAMERA YOU WHORES.
the_villa Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Bah, it's all politics. Stupid contest. I feel the same aswell
weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Oh loca, give me give me your boca, you are breaking my heart. Oh loca, give me give me your choco, do you want it or not. Genius lyrics from the Moldovans. I'm enjoying so far lying in bed with a box of muffins. Looking Forward to seeing Lordi, but I've got a bet on Sweden and Latvia, so they're my adopted countries for tonight. As for Britain, not a chance. Edit: Just seen the Latvians entry, I love it, acapella beat boxing and robot DJ for the win.
dabookerman Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 WTF AT LATVIA :|:|:| they are just making noises... latvian beat boxers...right now they got a robot on stage, what is this crazyness. LOL@WOGAN Accapella, theyll probably come last XD
EchoDesiato Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Sounds like a generic boysband song, but a with an accapella gimmick. Cool robot though.
dabookerman Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I like this song, it is the song that would be sung if Sophitia and Cassandra were to make a duet.
weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Norway, a bit heavy on the old wind machine. Also, go for the beer Terry! Is anyone else watching with the subtitles on, some of these lyrics are slightly disturbing
Wolf Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Wasn't Norway awesome? Of course, this has nothing to do with me being Norwegian :P Oh, and if you want to see wind machines, wait until you see Sweden!
EchoDesiato Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Despite being german cowboys, they did quite well.
weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I'm liking a surprising amount of these entries in a cheesy catchy kind of way. The German entry wasn't half bad and Denmarks is.... ummm.... interesting. It seems that this year everyones gone out there way to try different things rather then just doing dull crowd pleasing ballads. Although saying that, Russia is as dull as ditch water.
