As you probably have heard, Lordi, a metal band from Finland, will perform on this years Eurovision Song Contest. Do you think it's good that metal bands start to participate in this kind of shows or not? And is Lordi than the right representative of the metal scene? here you can watch the video clip: video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6666637566522776701&q=Lordi

Yeah, I heard about this. I think it's funny and will be a nice change to people sick of the American Idol type shows where all you ever hear is pop. There's an interesting article about it here: www.nytimes.com/iht/2006/04/24/world/24finn.html

Aw fuck, if that's the way they look they'll probably end up last anyhow ^^ I don't know about all this.. Don't think it's a good idea actually.. People that watch EVSC usually don't listen to metal so I guess the'll only hate the genre even more after this EDIT: All riiight! the video's quite silly but the song's totally okay imo.. Tho I still don't know if the EVSC public will like it..

They look horrible (in a good way) and it's always better than Treble (the band from the Netherlands:s) This is going to be funny ^.^

Actually the Swedish Eurovision reviewers think they might win the whole thing, they think it's that good! Since Sweden's only metal band The Poodles ended up on 4:th place (and instead Sweden will send the same old, boring, annoying Carola again), I really want Lordi to win.

Carola won the Swedish contest by just being Carola, her song was so lame You could listen to it over and over all day without noticing it's on. Same thing with Kate Ryan and some of the other winners maybe?

Well, I hope Lordi will win... Here in France we have some unknown bimbo-boring female singer, and her song has been written by an even more boring R n' B artist. So France will maybe finish last this year... ... hmm maybe not, as Monaco's singer (who's French) is even worst!

I listen to Lordi regularly. Just not the Eurosong song. I have one of their albums though.

LORDI MADE THE FINAL ^__^
And Kate Ryan went down like the overcommercialised no talented bimbo she is.
Still pissed the government gave her 60.000 € to hold a promotion tour through Europe for that song. If they had separated it in blocks of 600 € they could have made 100 new, young groups extremely happy by giving them the possibility to record a professional demo CD or something. She deserved to go down in flames just for that.

And yet, everybody here in Belgium thought she was totally going to make it, yeah right.. I don't understand these people, they say so every year.. They should learn that Belgium just never send good acts (or just hasn't got enough friends in Eastern Europe..) Anyway, Lordi for the win now! ^^
