I might watch it this year because I have a few friends from Wales and we always make fn and say 'OMG vote for the UK and we'll vote for Romania!!!' :p.
Our contestant, Mihai Traistariu, is a guy who has a vocal range of a bit more than 5 octaves ( :eek: ), and he has a song called Tornero. He sings in Italian, English, and I think a bit of Romanian (go figure) squeezed in there too.

lol theyre just making fun of a eurovision entry who only sings that.
i saw the semi-final and thought overall it was all crap. ireland was good and finland... well... it goes without saying that it blew me away. i love lordi and will definitely be voting for them numerous times! i'd encourage you all to do the same. It's become too political and whore-ish recently... lordi are making a statement it should be about the music and just having fun... which it definitely will be.
if lordi weren't in the competition i'd be voting for ireland tho - Brian Kennedy has a great voice.

And I really don't like Lordi at all, but I'm surprised they're there :p Although, with silly costumes, a bad sounding song and freaky stage action, they're definately Eurovision material, why didn't I see it all along? :rolleyes: ;) :p

I was over a friend's house the other day and I was flipping throught the channels when I came across Lordi performing. We didn't know what the hell the show was about because I've never heard of Eurovision but then I heard that it was a singing competition and I nearly puked. Wtf was that on stage? Lordi was AWFUL. Sorry but they looked pathetic with their "costumes" on. They were trying a little too hard to look like bad asses and they failed. "Hard Rock Hallelujah"? What a stupid name for a song. And if they're so bad ass, why the hell are they in a singing competition with all these other pop singers? Ew. If they were voted the best band in all of Europe (or at least the countries in Europe that participated), I feel bad for you Europeans. The U.S. may have Britney but at least we don't have Lordi. Thank god. The only thing worse than having an idol who drops her baby on the floor, places said baby the wrong way in his car seat, nearly drops said baby a second time, and looks like she hasn't taken a shower in days is having idols who call themselves "monsters". Ooh they're so gothic and scary. I'm shaking in my boots.
The only one I really liked was that chick from Ukraine. Croatia had me laughing. Turkey had me clogging my ears. France was actually semi-good (although a bit boring) and she got like no votes. Wtf? A lot of them really sucked.
And why the hell didn't anyone tell me how kick ass Silvia Night is? I just saw her performance on YouTube and she's hilarious. Why the hell didn't she make it to the next round?
Silvia Night is my new idol.

You can blame yourself if you think that Lordi is a dead serious band, because it isn't. The costumes and pyros are just for show. They're not trying to look tough, how did you come up with that conclusion? No-one who has an IQ more than 10 could take them seriously.
Their music anything special, but at least they were the only ones who didn't take Eurovision too seriously (well, there's Silvia :)).

Hard Rock Hallelujah-I think it's cool that Lordi won.
Anyway,Slovenia sent some stupid male singer on Eurovision..They just can't choose..Every year they choose the most stupid song,just like they don't want to win..
Oh,and sorry cause I'm late ;P
