Yesterday Germany made its choice.
A country band called Texas Lightning is going to participate with their song No, No Never.
I love it. It made me flip through the bathroom while brushing my teeth when they played it on the radio this morning.
joyrider said on March 10, 2006 13:23:
germany 12 points – from austria. sounds like a joke but could be possible this time ;)
rox-kuryliw said on March 10, 2006 15:19:
The english entery is a HUGE joke, its very bad. but the last english entery i liked was katrina and the waves;-)

purp, the puplic was to decide, he did sing aswell as others.
ally77 said on March 13, 2006 13:48:
Yeah there where about 6 people up for it, including one ex member of Hearsay (the first popstars winners) but they did get the vote from the public...

Hi. Does anyone know if the Melodifestivalen final tomorrow night has a live web stream? It would be nice to watch the show. Cheers, Rich
ally77 said on March 17, 2006 21:06:
I am not sure but there is an official site...
http://www.melodifestivalen.se/
You can see the songs and watch them here...
http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/index.jsp?&d=49118&a=5...
There are 10 I think in the final tomorrow... and I love at the moment...
Rednex - Mama Take Me Home (I think this is the best)
Andreas Johnson - Sing For Me
The Poodles - Night Of Passion (A Swedish Darkness!)
BWO - Temple Of Love (not really my kind of music but actually a fave to win according to the betting...)
ally77 said on March 17, 2006 21:08:
Shame Patrik Isaksson - Faller Du Så Faller Jag didn’t get though as I like that ballad, really powerful as he has a great voice... :)
Rich-UK said on March 18, 2006 16:54:
OK OK, I know I’m sad, I admit it, but I’ve now heard 17 entries for Eurovision 2006 and here is my top 5:
1. ESTONIA: also known as Sweden’s second entry but just possibly this could be even better
2. SWEDEN: great song – on the assumption that Carola is elected – we will find out soon
3. UK: after dismal efforts in recent year at least this is different and I think that it’s good fun
4. ICELAND: I know, I know, I know but it is rather catchy and the strip show is quite hilarious
5. FINLAND: Wig Wam was my favourite last year and this heavy style is fun to see at Eurovision
Also good songs, in my opinion of course, are Denmark and Belgium. I have liked songs from the south of Europe previously (Albania was my favourite in 2004) but not so much this time. So will the Eurovision crown return to northern Europe this year?! Roll on May 18th & 20th :-) All the best, Rich
ally77 said on March 18, 2006 19:48:
I think last years entry Wig Wam was from Norway not Finland... :)
Room_service said on March 18, 2006 20:01:
The British song is nice. I didn’t like it at first, but now (that I am used to it) I can say it’s catchy and fun.
Armenia revealed their song, it’s a good one melody. I am sure they will achieved a good result in their debut. Other of my favourites are Turkey (Sibel Tüzün is great!), Macedonia, Norway, Iceland, Monaco, Romania, Germany...
I dislike Lithuania, Ireland, Finland, among others. Some songs are just HORRIBLE!

I think she did.... it was the one song I didn’t listen to last night, but I’ll play it soon...
Rich-UK said on March 18, 2006 21:54:
Hi Ally. Yeah, Wig Wam are Norwegian. I bought their album after Eurovision last year!! I guess what I mean is that their glam rock track last year was seen as quite ’extreme’ for Eurovision, but the Lordi song for Finland this year is even more extreme, in fact it’s some sort of death metal. But in a way maybe it has more chance of making a lasting impression. Overall I think the standard is higher this year than in 2005, and I’m looking forward to the event. All the best, Rich ;-)
PS It seems that Carola won Melodifestivalen which is the right choice in my opinion. Good luck to the two Swedish contestants :-)
Rich-UK said on March 18, 2006 22:23:
I have just seen Carola’s winning performance through the ’Video’ link at www.melodifestivalen.se and it’s clear that towards the end of the song her vocals were not nearly as strong as in her first performance. Maybe she has a sore throat as she did not perform at the dress rehearsal earlier? Her visual act to the cameras though was more refined this time. I really do think that if she matches the vocal performance of the first round with the visual performance of this final then Sweden has a real chance of winning the Eurovision Song Contest this year. Good luck!! Best wishes from Rich ;-)
Room_service said on March 19, 2006 17:21:
I don’t want Carola winning again. In fact, I didn’t want she winning the Melodifestivalen either. She was in Munich ’93 (she achieved a #3) and in Rome ’91, where she finally won with “Fångad av en stormvid”. What else does she want? I want new faces, not always the same people...
coyboyusa said on March 21, 2006 13:59:
eurovision has as much credibility as american idol these days ICK
denny said on March 23, 2006 04:10:
After all that’s happened here at the local ’choosing’ I’m sooooo glad we are not entering the contest.
Very often I am SO SO SO deeply dissapointed with the people who live in my country. :(
Rich-UK said on March 23, 2006 10:48:
Betting odds released in the UK and it seems that Greece / Belgium / Sweden are the favourites...
ally77 said on March 23, 2006 15:08:
I already placed my bet on Sweden and the UK at Ladbrokes online last week, got myself a nice fixed price! :)
I’ve also placed my bed for the world cup as well!
ally77 said on May 1, 2006 08:58:
I have three people in mind for potential winners, bring on May 20th!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on May 1, 2006 09:04:
I’m actually getting used to our entry now!
Not too bad really
purplemedusa said on May 1, 2006 09:08:
Does anyone know if the compilation Cd’s are out yet? Any notable tracks sofar? Crossing my finger that i’ll be able to catch the even...!!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on May 1, 2006 09:12:
Haven’t seen any around, but I didn’t think they were out until after the event???
pwbbounce (moderator) said on May 1, 2006 11:11:
Didn’t realise that. But haven’t seen it around yet though
ally77 said on May 2, 2006 07:13:
For an unusual bet, put some pennies on Estonia... great song, great artist and currently an outsider at 25/1 but has potential to go far because of the artist! :)
The UK entry Daz will be on This Morning on Friday!
rox-kuryliw said on May 2, 2006 07:35:
i liked Magnus Carlsson from sweden looking back at the clips best.
The UK entery is a chav LOL
oukkirox said on May 8, 2006 07:22:
what you think about finland´s song its terribull!i dont like all,uff,yök!
purplemedusa said on May 9, 2006 11:51:
So how does the entries compare to those of last year... haven’t heard anything except for Anna Vissi’s track!
ally77 said on May 9, 2006 17:24:
The Greece entry is the top fave to win....
Estonia is a good outsider to back.....
UK is cheesy, but one of the best we have entered...
Sweden.... so so, still marked as a fave
Romaina is good as well!
I am running a sweepstake at work!
purplemedusa said on May 15, 2006 07:59:
Really looking forward to this... hey everyone should vote for greece!! That way i’ll get a chance next year to go to greece with my baby 2 watch the show etc.!!!! heheh long shot i know!

Jud (moderator) said on May 19, 2006 04:53:
oh my! I hadn’t seen so many bad artists in a row for a long while! What the hell was that girl in Iceland, and those three from Netherlands! Not only the songs were awful, they couldn’t sing! I think if it goes on like this, I’ll pass next year..
PS: Carola still living in the 80ies?
tevensso (moderator) said on May 19, 2006 06:07:
Carola never left 1983. Sadly most Swedes don’t realize that and they think that Sweden will win - again. When in reality Sweden will probably lose big - again. And then the Swedes will go “:| huh?! But Carola is so big!!?” Yeah, right.
Kiwein1 said on May 19, 2006 06:29:
Carola was a mess! This woman can’t sing or is that only my impression?
ally77 said on May 19, 2006 07:19:
Damn don’t say that, my friend just pulled Carola out of the sweepstake at work and I told her she had a good chance to win!
I thought Lithuania was a good entry.... loved the song title!
rox-kuryliw said on May 19, 2006 10:38:
i just wondered how do they choose the order of which country is singing first ect ?
tcooh said on May 19, 2006 11:24:
The order in which to sing is done by lottery (and perhaps money :P )
What bugs me about this is the fact they all use horrible playback, grrrr. (probably forced to do so also) Stupid!
per_mson said on May 19, 2006 12:01:
@Tev: Here’s one swede who absolutely does not like Carola. She could sing once I think, but nowadays she totally sucks. She can’t even hold a single tone.
My father said they called her “world star” the other day on the radio. I wonder if they considder Sweden (and maybe a bit of Denmark+Norway) the world?! ;-))
So I really, really hope she will end up really down so she maybe finally can get that she is NOT good!
tevensso (moderator) said on May 19, 2006 12:54:
Ha ha, but then it will be a part of the “sabotage” against her...
davidc4 said on May 19, 2006 13:37:
maybe sweden should get abba,ace of base and roxette to form a supergoup and set out to win lol didnt katrina from katrina and the waves try and enter the swedish contest last year?but she didnt get the vote from the swedish public?
RobS said on May 19, 2006 23:30:
Yay FYRO Macedonia made it in again!
I can’t beleive Belgium didn’t get in? i thought it was a good song.
And now i finally know who Carola is.
ATLTK said on May 20, 2006 10:41:
I cat believe it eitheer that Belgium couldnt get it it was my favorite
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 12:08:
FINLAND TO WIN!!!!!!
I just love it...
Watch the video here....
http://eurovision.lordi.org/main.site?action=siteupdate/view&id=6
It’s just what the Eurovision needs.... :)
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 12:14:
I don’t mind if Sweden or the UK win as both will net me some cash back.... lol
I would just love to see Finland win with this entry... it just rocks!
Jud (moderator) said on May 20, 2006 13:01:
yeah the Finns are fine, but I also like the Lithuanians, the song is nothing special but hell, they made me laugh! And it’s the only song that’s still in my head :P
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 13:21:
I got Lithuanian at work in the sweepstake.... I think the song is so cool.... it’s just unique....
“We are the winners... of Eurovision” lol
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 17:27:
do you know....i might just watch it cos I heard about Finalnds entry ;-)
and Terry Wogan is classic
and i have naff all else to do appart from drink wine and ebay some stuff.
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 17:57:
Vix you have to watch just to see Finland!
I just read this on the BBC website comments....
“I hope Lordi win; their stage show is amazing, and the song good fun hard rock nonsense. Who can doubt the genius of a song that includes the word “aROCKalypse”?! They’re the best thing to happen to this show in years...
...We should have sent The Darkness!”
I think Vix might agree with that....
You drink the beer I’ll drink me cider!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 18:22:
Another comment... from the good old BBC!
Normally I wouldn’t watch the Eurovision but I will this year, and why? I just want to see what Terry Wogan will say when confronted with Finnish band Lordi. I think that will be quality television.....
Those people in Europe I don’t know what presenters you have presenting your own Eurovision on TV, but Mr Wogan has been at it here for over 30 years and the guy just makes the show with his comments!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 18:49:
Totally off topic....
but did you just see the UK Lottery show....
some weirdo ran into the audience ranting and raving..... waving a banner and then security ran in for him but they could not get him! lol
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:18:
Israel
Powerful, good act, good song! Why was it 125/1 at Ladbrokes!
Latvia
Out of tune, or was he suppose to be trying to sing like that! OH MY GOD! Actually sounded like a bad version of Queen! What was with that dance or should that be stupid head movements! I am sure I spotted Snape from Harry Potter in there!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:32:
Norway
Looked Norwegian, but didn’t like the song!
Spain
Should be squashed and put into a bottle like ketchup!
Malta
I got this in my sweepstake at work….. I best kiss goodbye now to that money….
Germany
Thumbs up…. That was good! I love a bit of country! Loved the website plugs!
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 19:33:
are you watching something different to me?
this is the worst eurovision ive ever had the misfortune to watch!
germany now........ OMG! struggling to fit the words into the sentance!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:39:

ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:40:

Denmark
Cheesy but so Eurovision! I actually liked this! It felt longer than 3 minutes though!
Russia
Reminds me of someone on pop idol….. I can’t comment! Was his hair a little strange or am I seeing things!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:43:

I knew I was not seeing things....

Ramas said on May 20, 2006 19:51:
To Judith: as lithuanian, thanx for such opinion. Yeah, the purpose of the song was to show that Eurovision contest basically sux, it is not about music and you can win with one note... In local final this idea was supported ;)
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 19:55:
am i the only one thinking this is bollox but i’m gonna watch it cos god i need al augh!
i’m waiting for a song along the lines of waterloo!
still waiting for finland! ive been told its good, if the uk wins then no one in europe has taste cos its crap and the bloke singing it is a complete knob.
no ide what swedens entry is like as i’m not cheating like everyone else and i’m doing what the judges are ’supposedly’ doing ;-)
btw............if bosnia wins i will eat my socks!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 19:57:
FYR Macedonia
I think she was bog eyed…. Or was it a glass eye!
Pointless!
Romania
This is supposed to be a top choice…. I can’t comment! Oh bollocks… null points!
Bosnia & Herzegovina
To serious….. but just as an afterthought, I was under the impression Bosnia was in need of help money wise etc… but they can enter the Eurovision!
Lithuania
Love it, loved it in the semi final…. Love it more!
Did you hear Terry..... Harry Hills brother! lol
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:05:
greece dont wanna win again cos it costs them too much to host it so they put some bollox in ;-)
LOL
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:05:
United Kingdom
Not got the kick it had, thought the performance was quite bad….. but we shall see with the voting…
I’d be surprised if we get votes!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:07:
Think Lithuania is the best so far....
Greece was the fave but Sweden overtook them this afternoon!
Greece are okay.... but then again it’s what happens when you put professionals in....
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:07:
UK was bad bad bad! even the song was bad! infact it wasnt a song
come on lithuania!!!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:11:
Greece
Good song….. possible winner!
Finland
Super f**king fantastic!
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:13:

crashroxer said on May 20, 2006 20:18:

Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:19:

ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:25:
Ireland
Should be banned for winning too much! Caterpillar eyebrows alert!
This is something my mother would like…. In fact I expect her to ring any second going “that’s your winner there…”
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:28:
oh chuffin Carola! does this woman do anything else but take part in this?
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:28:
Sweden
If Finland doesn’t win then let Sweden…. But I would prefer to see Finland win!
She last one in 1991, jeez the year I became a Roxette fan!
I think Sweden could win…. It’s the kind of song and voice that sends shivers down my spine!
Vixzter said on May 20, 2006 20:30:
if finland doesnt win then let lithuania!!!! cos carola does my bloody head in!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:30:
Reminds me of Charlotte a few years back actually it was 1998!
Same kind of powerful song!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:31:

ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:36:

ally77 said on May 20, 2006 20:39:
I want to chat on MSN, but I don’t have it now.... on this PC and my laptop battery died....

ally77 said on May 20, 2006 21:28:
Terry Wogan needs to pay attention to the new voting system or get his eyes tested!!!!!!!!!
and I still don’t know where Armenia is....
Mr_Floppy said on May 20, 2006 21:35:
If you really(?) want to know, Armenia lies in Southwestern Asia, east of Turkey.
I think Finland will win and they deserve it. Nice show. Malta still no point... of course not, ha ha.
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 21:37:
Thanx for that Mr Floppy... I did want to know.... I am going to have a read on them tomorrow... always nice to read about other places...
Now why do Germany like Turkey so much!
Mr_Floppy said on May 20, 2006 21:42:
Well, I don’t think that we like Turkey more than other countries. I think it’s because there are A LOT of turkish people living in Germany. And they vote for their country of course from Germany.
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 21:49:
FINLAND HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so pleased FINLAND won…. I am now £220 richer… :) so glad I threw that bet on yesterday before the odds went crazy yesterday!
Lordi just rocked that Eurovision tonight!
Mari said on May 20, 2006 21:54:
Woooohooo!!!! Just amazing! Win and a new points record!!! Loooordiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
ally77 said on May 20, 2006 21:55:
LORDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :)
I feel the need to buy there album now!
Could buy it with my winnings....
Off to bed now!
Mr_Floppy said on May 20, 2006 21:56:
Congratulations to Finland and to you Ally. I bet on them also, so it’s nice for me, too. Even if it’s just 50 Euro:)
Jud (moderator) said on May 20, 2006 22:03:
ha! I was for Finland or Lithuania, and FI won, L ended up quite high! I just loved their way of making fun of the Eurovision.
Too bad Sweden ended that high, Carola sucks!!! Damn fanatic hipocrite homophobic >:|
And Spain: I hadn’t heard the song before, and man, did that suck! What were they thinking??
per_mson said on May 20, 2006 22:23:
I think it all just show how extremely pathetic the whole Eurovision show has become when something like this finnish garbage could win. Sure, they were fun, but good?!?!?! Nah!!!
I thought the best this year was without a doubt Germany. I also thought Norway was nice and also Denmark.
I agree with Judith that it is crap that Sweden got so high. That Carola-snake didn’t deserve that much!
Mr_Floppy said on May 20, 2006 22:35:
Finland did never win the contest before. I think this time they did win because the people really liked it most. Okay, there are a lot of countries which voted for their neighbours (like always) but Finland has got a lot of votes not only from their neighbours.
Kiwein1 said on May 21, 2006 04:48:
Yeah, in my opinion Germany was better than 15 this year. Well, the show was bad, maybe that’s it. But Finland definitely rocked..
ally77 said on May 21, 2006 07:34:
The UK ended up with 25 points....
• 1 Finland 292

Well, I don’t know why the UK bother to put in a song anymore. Next year, I say don’t bother!! It’s just embarrasing
ally77 said on May 21, 2006 11:59:
We gave 12 points to Finland and 4 points to Sweden, didn’t take note of the rest....
Just ordered Lordi’s album online at CDON! :)

Ally, do you wanna Email me your Email address? I have a few for you, and I can’t remember which one your current one is!!! P.S can you send the song at the same time :-))) Thanx!

I can’t believe FYROMacedonia didn’t get higher, did you see the short shorts on that girl!! :-p
I don’t think Lithuania, Armenia and turkey should’ve have got as high as they did.
I never would’ve picked Finland to win, was quite a surprise :-o

zaine said on May 21, 2006 15:32:

Finland can win eurovision every year if they want to. As long as they don´t win any gold medal in hockey. (which sweden will do again, starting now)
ally77 said on May 21, 2006 21:22:
Cool....
I love the video for Hard Rock Halleluja!
Cheerleaders freak out! lol
davidc4 said on May 22, 2006 11:24:
i was wathching the news i forget which channel it was on but i had to laugh when they said that Finland arent used to coming top in anything but their suicide rate.nice.
as for Daz he did the best he could with the song i think we should try and pick something good for once though.the last few years positions have proved our bad choices of entries
2006 daz sampson(19th)
2005 javine (22nd)
2004 james fox (16th)
2003 jemini (26th)
2002 jessica garlick (3rd)
2001 linday d (15th)
2000 nicki french (16th)
1999 precious (12th)
1998 imaani (2nd) yay again
1997 kat&the waves (1st) yay!!!!
the last 4 contests we havent even finished in the top 15 so i think we should either drop out of it before we start to get a reputation like norways nil points or the contest should change so that the artists and songs name appear but not which country they are from that way people can only vote for the song.

On the German “after show” show, the host said, “The Orks won the Song Contest”. :-D
(I also head them being described as Klingons.)
ally77 said on May 22, 2006 16:42:
Yeah I heard the klingons thing a few times!
They where all winding me up at work that I ordered the album, but I shut them up when I told them how much I’d won!
josefin said on May 22, 2006 17:43:
Here in Finland someone had bet 5 000 euros that Lordi wins, and won 295 000 euros!
Still can’t believe we actually won the contest, never imagined to hear the words “Finland, twelve points” and even more than one time ;P Well, won’t happen again so must continue enjoying this! Lordi rocks!
davidc4 said on May 23, 2006 10:23:
i didnt expect to hear the words United Kingdom 1 point..........and i wasnt to hear those mortal words either as they didnt read out points 1-7 ha ha we nver got more than 3 points and i cant remember which country loved us enough to give us 3....
ally77 said on May 23, 2006 17:01:
Will the UK ever entered something as good as Katrina & The Waves
lonely_girl said on May 23, 2006 18:24:
Anyone would like to have Ralph Siegel as the song-writer for their country’s entry next year?!
Switzerland would gladly resign from using his services ;-D
ally77 said on May 23, 2006 21:11:
Oh I so love that video for Finland!
and it’s a woman on the keyboards!
ally77 said on May 23, 2006 21:12:

ally77 said on May 23, 2006 21:16:
and I swear her that tried to enter for Iceland, wants locking up for being off her head.... I thought Bjork was a few currents short, but this one...
davidc4 said on May 24, 2006 08:44:
i liked turkeys entry......does that make me mad........
i probably was mad when i bumped in2 chris cromby from Jemini in The Lisbon in Liverpool and told him that he wasnt that bad..........a few weeks earlier he was in the Poste House a small pub and there had been shouts of NIL POINTS!!!!!!!that was my m8 ha ha.he always seems like an ok lad though and whenever he goes in GBar the DJ always plays Cry Baby...........

Wow, there was huge Lordi party yesterday. I was also on market square, center of Helsinki. Over 70 000 people were celebrating Lordi. It was sooo funny to see old ladys, small kids with Lordi-masks etc singing together Hard rock hallelujah. Lordi of course was really good on stage. Check this picture :D http://www.iltalehti.fi/osastot/lordi/kauppatoriilmasta_lo.jpg
davidc4 said on June 19, 2006 22:22:

Last night the show on the UK choose the entry for the UK and I have to admit the one I thought should have got through did....
