Apocalyptica on Eurovision

Postby Immortalicide on Sun May 13, 2007 10:10 am

Did anyone else see these guys on eurovision last night??? Personally i thought they were bloody good, and better than all of the songs in the contest (they were not part of the competition). However, there was a more "rock" and especially "gothic" slant on a lot of the bands this year. The Irish entry was fuckin awful though, and if that is the best Ireland has to offer, lets have Gama Bomb next year!!!! Hell trucker for eurovision!!! The campaign starts here!!! :lol:

I turned on just at the right moment. Wogan didn't seem too impressed though...

That Irish song, was the most stereotypically Irish thing I'd ever seen. I was just waiting for a midget dressed as a leprocorn to come out and start dancing!

Did anyone here the Israel entry (it got knocked out in the semis), it sounded a bit like System of a Down to me. Well strange!

I had no idea that Apocalyptica played. That's cool shit.

Apocalyptica were good. I wanted Russia or Hungary to win. I think the band that represented us should be executed when they return.

What about last year's entry for UK? He should have been hung, drawn and quartered, and thrown to the crocs!

Remember Gemini, the couple of talentless nobbers who sang out of key for the entire song? Just ghastly.

The scary thing about Eurovision is that the UK coughs up 48% of it's funding every year!

They're probably jumping on the bandwagon after Lordi winning it last year... Twats.
