Eurovision 2006

ahhh it was pants lol, Countries voting for countries beside them, like – Russia, Armenia, Ukraine all voting for eachother giving eachother 12 points each hmm… and not to mention the winners lol, whoever voted for them is really sick in the head, i hate that music, i have no idea how they won, apart from the goth majority of britain who probly voted for them givin them the full 12 points. they cudnt sing to save their lives.. hmm but thats the way the cookie crumbles i suppose.

i mean come on who in the right mind would vote for this…

Well, I’m from Finland and I’m really glad we won. I mean, no matter what kind of music we have performed in Eurovision in last 40 years, we haven’t got good points.

Lordi’s winning was something I did not believe in, even though there was a huge excitement around these "horrible monsters which children are afraid of" (that’s how many finlanders called Lordi). Many finnish people thought that Lordi is not going to do better than any previous finnish participants, they claimed that Lordi is not an appropriate band to perform in Eurovision. I did not believe they would win, but I knew it would get better points than any other finnish artists who were on the finnish voting with Lordi. But they won. Without their masks I guess they wouldn’t have got so many points, but they are a part of their performance.

Now I would like to see a face of those finnish persons who wrote on the Internet, before the Eurovision song contest, something like this: "Oh my god what has happened! Satanist Monsters have been sent to represent Finland in Eurovision 2006! This is horrible! I am ashamed of being finnish! Please anything else but Lordi!"

I say haha.

I’ve been wondering too why there haven’t been any famous bands in the Eurovision song contest. Well there has been few ie ABBA who won btw. In Finland there have been famous artists to represent Finland but those haven’t made through the voting process in Finland. Nightwish is one to be named, don’t know why people didn’t want them to the Eurovision. Lordi has been quite popular in Finland and somehow finnish people voted for them. And if I remember correct, Kate Ryan was a candidate to represent France, but as you know she didn’t get chosen.

thanks for the info,,is that the competitionabba one to get them rollin way back when?

im not that old as well but read the bio,,but still sounds like its a contest smelling of politics

Sweden has usually given us a point or two in ESC, but this time they gave us the full 12. BUT, this is because people with Skype voted for Lordi, and the Skype server (or something) is located in Sweden, surprise surprise.
Fortunately, even if we wouldn’t had any points from Sweden, Lordi would have still won, like it did.

ESC was much about politics. Because of the tele voting, it’s kind of a silly contest now. "In the old days", every country had their own panel of specialists that decided the points, now there’s some politics to you folks.
