Eurovision & Lordi

[HeathenPride]

In 18th May, a kind of heavy metal band called Lordi will place for Finland in Athens.

I liked it

Let's hope that Orphaned Land will perform in Eurovision for Israel (or for any other country) next year

Eurovision is an old fashion silly commercial stuff, but honestly, i am still watching it every year uke:

 

[DeadlyRose]

Me too XD

Last year we came in no.4 which is good me think.

Talk with Kobi, maybe you'll convince him to do it

 

[PinkThrone]

They surely have the ethnic stuff in place for participating, since they SOUND like coming from Israel.

Oh well, I don't think I can watch it this year, I don't think I'm home

NO!

 

[DeadlyRose]

I can't imagine OL in the Eurovision either

 

[DeadlyRose]

YES! LORDI IS IN!

 

[Ollo-San]

no way ! I don't want to see OL at the eurovision! they have some honnor

but it'll be funny to see a band like Lordi !

 

[DeadlyRose]

Well, they were better then most of the sugery sweet songs that were there. Some of those really made me wanna puke! >.<

 

[Beren Ercharmion]

well,, I wouldn't mind any metal-band performing at Eurovision, if you manage to pass to the finals it's a very good promotion - for free.

And when does a metalband nowadays get to play in front of a couple of millions of people?

But this doesn't change the fact that I think that Lordi is nothing but a huge piece of crap, from the musical side.
Their show is quite funny, but the music itself is just plain boring.

np: Turisas - Midnight Sunrise

Great song, great album, great band! Hopefully they'll be doing a couple of club shows around the Summerbreeze festival...

As for Eurovision, obviously I'd have loved to see In Extremo in Athens who were competing in the German pre-selection, but sadly didn't make it...oh, well...:Smug:

 

[Mabool]

Lordi rock! They are so cheesy! c'mon there singers mike is a huge battle axe! You've gotta love it!

 

[Ollo-San]

it'll be just funny, but that's all, no more

 

[DeadlyRose]

*shurgs* ok

P.S. You should try Otep, pretty good band :Shedevil:

First, Finnish religious leaders warned that the Freddy Krueger look-alikes could inspire Satanic worship. Then critics called for President Tarja Halonen to use her constitutional powers to veto the band and nominate a traditional Finnish folk singer instead. Rumors even circulated that Lordi members were agents sent by President Vladimir V. Putin to destabilize Finland before a Russian coup — an explanation for their refusal to take off their freakish masks in public.

ahaha this is one of the funniest things i have ever heard
and a greek group tries to urge finland to prohibit lordi from entering the contest because it's contrary to european and greek culture and that they will spread "satanism" among people.
i used to think that such things only happened in turkey, but it seems that it can even happen in finland

btw i took this quote from here: http://www.nytimes.com/iht/2006/04/24/world/24finn.html

Hehehe, it's a funny thing. But after Lordi's great performance at the semi-final, there is a big audience who sees with positive view their appearance at the contest. Really.

 

[DeadlyRose]

That's good, i guess =)

Am I the only one not happy with this Lordi thing?
I think they look like total morrons and provide the general public with yet another example of how idiotic and extreem metal fans look ( to their eyes at least)

Again my grandma/ people in the street will think this metal thing cannot be a good thing- thanks to the dress sense of this Lordi lot
