This years contest will be aired soon (There's still couple of weeks), so lets talk about it.

Last year, Finland didnt make it to the finals, but this time we even have a change to win!

Finnish heavy metal band "Lordi" will be participating this year. Last year, we had someone from Norway.
This is Lordi:

What about your country?

Our countrys song sucked big time, but seeing the last two winners, it might even stand a chance...

Texas Lightning, MoFo! ;)

Allthough I'm not that much of a fan of either Lordi OR Texas Lightning, I think it actually might be quite somefun watching the show this year with those two participating (not that I think they have any chance... there's nothing oriental in both' music). :sneaky:

EDIT:

HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE LEAGUE, "MR. PRESIDENT"??? :bleh: :D ;)

Iceland's contribution

Seeed won, I think.
I'll try to find a picture.

They weren't even participating... :blink: read my comment a few posts above ;)

Will it be 'Nul Points' for all of those bands?

Probably, which is a shame.

My country's preped up an unusual song, only two options remain :blink: :
1. They f*** up big time. :not_ok:
2. They win. :ok:

I guess it's due to the fact that the song is called "We are the winners - of Eurovision". :whistle:

I'm not really following the whole thing, but afaik Thomas Anders will go for Germany.

I may be wrong though.

That's not important, who'll win. All has been bought already.

in romania won a justin timberlake wannabe LOL LOL LOL

Bah another year of east European countries vs the west EU.
I liked it better when the eastern countries weren't participating in this contest.

Here are the votes from the Netherlands:
12 points to Belgium /me hugs Flamish ppl, they are cute.
10 points to UK becaurse they are our other neigbors :)
9 points to ehm... well ok Germany :/
8 points to .....

Havent heard the songs yet though. But this is how it should go. Its tradition :)
bah at eastern EU countries messing the tradition up :(

hehe our contribution rocks

And Btw: The two dansers dancing there are called hommi and nammi or as in english Homo/*** and Candy

here is some nice vids ... (link stolen and slightly changed :whistle: )


It would be a wonder if Germany won ... :yawn:

Hmm, that reminds me...
Wasn't Germany the only country last time that didn't give the 12 points themselves? :whistle:

I think everyone somehow fails to see that this whole thing is about the songs the countries perform, and not about how much one country likes another.

For example (don't want to offend you SirPeter, you just delivered the perfect example ;) ):
SirPeter stated exactly how it shouldn't be done. 10 points shouldn't go to the UK because they are neighbours, but because the song from the UK rocks.

It's an Eurovision Song Contest afterall, not some "Which country do you like the most" poll.

Oh, and from what I've heard so far, I would give Finland 12 points, Lordi just rocks.

And another edit:
@Grinder:
Seeed won the "Bundesvision Song Contest 2006". I generally don't like rap, but somehow I can't get this song out of my mind, it has something.....different....all over it.

Was meant as sarcasm Don :)
I agree its about the songs not the countries.
(still think the Flemish are cute though)

Glad to hear that ^_^
