Help
I am still hoping that someone will follow in the lead of Lordi and get some good Scandinavian metal out there - Opeth for Sweden, Turisas for Finland etc...

Every year my country (the Netherlands) sends in a thirtheen a dozen song, which according to the media is great (but is always crap) and we'll end up real high, every year we end up very low (deservedly), and every year people complain in the media that it's not fair we lost, because we had such a good song (boohoohoo). I'm almost jealous of that Irish turkey.
Not that I've watched it this year. The Brothers Grimm were on another net.

Why would already-established bands like Opeth possibly want to be in eurovision?:confused:

Well, Andy Blibdeblib (from X-factor) did. He's as good as Opeth, isn't he

Erm, sure...
And there have been already established acts on there... TATU were on for Russia (the ones with the lesbian song - running through my head or something)
Heck Abba won it once didn't they?

ABBA became famous as a result of it, I thought...
But I know Cliff Richards was on it after he became famous...don't remember TATU on it though...

Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

Dunno, but I am with you on this one.

Also, THE SEALION DION won it singing a song in French while representing Switzerland and it probably helped raise her profile.
It used to be taken a whole lot more seriously. If fact a recent documentary tried to claim that Franco managed to buy officials from several other countries and get Spain a win. Thus denying Cliff Richard his win. Ha Ha Ha.
