Eurovision 2006: Revenge of the Wuuurrrggghhh!
« on: 20 May 2006, 03:48 »

Tonight is the final of the 51st Eurovision Song Contest, Europe's ongoing contribution to bad taste and kitsch.  Nothing particularly noteworthy as a rule, and even with a German C&W act this year wouldn't be much different... except for Finland, whose act this year is by far the most popular they've ever had.

Finland entered a death metal band this year.  

And they've made it to the final.

So I anticipate KharBevNor and the other Friends of Wuuurrrggghhh! to be out there supporting Lordi and his song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" - particularly since he's survived not only a semi-final to get there but also a hefty pyrotechnics bill (footed by fans) and being injured at a recent gig.  But as a spokesman for Sony BMG said, "there was a back-up plan in case Lordi’s leg had been more seriously injured and required a cast – the singer could have performed in an exploding wheelchair, or with flame-throwing crutches."

What a trooper!

As soon as I saw that Finnish entry I knew they had to win. And I'm the least metal person ever. But they're great. A bit like if the Darkness were 10% less of a joke.
Englands entry however, makes me want to commit a cleansing hate crime against the singer, who is a stain upon our culture.


Edit: Yep. We're doing abismally. But ho hum.
And Finland is winning! Yay! :D

God have you seen our entry? England, that is.

Our entry is a paedophile, middle-aged rapper. It's disgusting and disturbing.

Lordi were a bit of a pantomine, but the song was good. I didn't like the drummer though.

He's 32.  Hardly middle-aged.  (Whether or not he is a paedophile or a rapper I will not say - I didn't watch the acts, apart from Lordi.)
