Femelade

arbeitsscheuer

Finland. Stuck a tenner on today, 10-1 like nesf said.

WhiteWashMan

my god. id put this into the music forum, but i dont think i could do music the dis-service....

Red Alert

We should have entered a piss-rip or a rap group instead of balladeer kennedy!

iFight

Ukraine, Lithuania(dont like em but admitt that it is catchy) or Ireland(National pride)

mikemac

Russia..........dark hourses at 28/1

Ruu_Old

Must have a browse on the webby and listen, oh how I miss the eurovision

constitutionus

not a betting man, but dear god i hope the fins win. just for having the sheer balls to put that band in as their representatives. death metal is pretty much the last thing i think about when i think of finland.
and please please please let them come on directly after brian kennedy. the sight would be too good to bear

rainbow kirby

Lordi ftw
Tempted to put a couple of quid on Finland.

MrSinn

i have €20 for brian kennedy to finish in the top 10 @ 12/1

Huggles

You know the English entry is both terrible and gimicky enough to snatch it...though it seems block voting is the way its done these days.

jimmycrackcorm

What's the bet that with all our new immigrants that poland gets 12 points from Ireland and Latvia gets 10.

simu

Go Lordi!

rogue-entity

Well, I would love Ireland to win again, but its very unlikly (prays that all the poles vote for us as a way of saying thanks).
England? There song is rather catchy alright, and it could do it.
Finland, I would pay to see them win.

Pfft, Lordi are not Death Metal by any stretch of the imagination.

This is Death Metal. And don't you forget it.

Actually, here is another good example. Now that I'd like to see on the Eurovision.

Ag marbh

Show me some talent and I might decide to support something. Joke of a competition if you ask me

Ah fair enough so, here's something good instead.

When is it on?

billy the squid

It is on tonight at 8pm

All the videos are availible in the multimedia section of the eurovision site http://www.eurovision.tv

I want lordi to win. If they do all the songs will be rock next year. Like lordi himself says. Any band can play in a rock festival, a good band can play anywhere, including Eurovision.

Ruu_Old

Oo live webcast, that'll work for me

Switched on the telly to a giant axe-wielding monster clad in the armour of hell. Thats good eurovision!

You'll just have to put up with Terry Wogan then

bbc.co.uk/eurovision will have the BBC stream

Catney

There is a theory that Lordi are Russian spies, their mission: To discredit Finland. Seriously.

I am all for them, they are great fun.

In that case, how about this? 'Tis Mike Amott of Carcass fame, and a hot chick singing. Can't go wrong with that. Quite frankly, they should've been Sweden's Eurovision entry.

WhiteWashMan

meh, i'll keep my fond memories of carcass in mcgonagles in 91. or was it 92. too long ago.

stevenmu

Awww, I wanted Iceland to win, Sylvia Night is the greatest in the world. The eurovision needs her.

That's it people, praise my favourite song, lavish it.
I recommend you all go to see firebird on may 26th in dublin, bill steer baby, bill steer!
Edit: No better use for my 11 thousanth post that to praise carcass and that song.






Go lordi.
If I pass by a bookies, which I'm sure I will, few euro on those lads.

rsta

Silvia Night didnt qualify... shame. She is so hillarious! "the votes are in, I'm gonna f*ckin win"

I've backed:
Bosnia-Herzegovina e/w at 6-1
Greece e/w at 9-2
Sweden win at 3-1
England e/w at 12-1

here's hoping!!

I'm not putting a bet on poor Brian, Eurovision is all about show nowadays, Brian needs to speed the song up by about 100bpm and add a few semi naked chicks and blokes prancing around him with some glitter and fluff and ribbons and then he would have a chance!!

Nightwish

Lordi Ftw!

gandalf

LOL only checked the entries out and far from slapping a DVD on tonight I just have to see Lordi on stage, jaysus would love to see them win it. The Finns are goind mad over them representing them LOL

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4926020.stm

zuma

Yeah Brian hasnt got a hope in Lordi's hell!!!

Either freak them out(Lordi) or throw out a couple of half naked girls for the sex appeal!!!

BuffyBot

Again, not nessecarily. A few ballads have done well. Malta took 2nd place last year with a ballad.

Doc_Savage

C'mon Lordi..... \m/

Did they? Ah well thats good, cos I bet on Greece, its a kind of a slower song. But sure maybe Ireland will come good this year. I've a bet on Brian to finish between 9th and 20th place.

Shame Iceland didnt get through... Go Siliva!!

MySelf56

I am with macadonia or Ukraine.. god! all might!! they are so prettty!!!:D

Atlas_IRL

omg how hot is Ukraine!!!!

takola

Don't know what made me think that it might be good this year! Lordi has been the best so far. Did ye see the state of las ketchup? What in the name of god were they thinking!!!!! *cringe*

gandalf
