Eurovision Review: Finland
May. 4th, 2011 09:17 pm Finland waited the longest time for a Eurovision win, but when they won, Lordi, it was a good win. The win in 2006 is something that will be remembered for all of Eurovision history, and not many entries, even winners, will ever be in the heart of Eurovision like Lordi.
This year Finland sent us a piece of hippy-greenie shit... and I kinda like it. The song is most interesting seeing it is coming out of Finland atm. It is a song that has a global view at a time when Finnish people have made True Fins the third most powerful party in Finland and True Fins are against reaching out with the Finnish economy to help he rest of Europe.
With the Hoo-Har with the results of the last Australian election and how many days we were without a government, it amuses me how life goes on in Finland despite over 2 weeks without an elected government, and they probably wont have one by Eurovision. What does politics have to do with Eurovision... I know it is meant to have nothing to do with the event, but it always has everything to do with it and it will be interesting what effect, if any, the True Fins will have on the Finnish results. will Europe vote for Finland to show we are friends, or voe against them in anger. Only Portugal can tell...
Getting back to the song, because after all this meant to be a song contest, the song is nothing special, but it is sweet. Sure the singer (Paradise Oskar or Axel Ehnström, whatever you want to call him) looks like he should be in movies like Superbad or Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it isn't bad is it? It wont win, but it isn't bad.
Now I go back to the results that Finland is used to getting, and I don't understand why this didn't score any points....
