@Vitsi: EINSPRUCH!!!! Es gibt gute deutsche Bands/Musiker(nicht viele, aber es gibt sie) und Slipknot ist mit Lordi genauso vergleichbar wie Joe Cocker mit Udo Jürgens 80

Ich habe das Lied von Lordi noch nicht gehört, aber so schlimm kanns nicht sein, wenn die mit so ner Mehrheit gewonnen haben...einzig die Aufmachen der Damen und Herren könnte auf Verwunderung stossen(hast du sie deshalb mit Slipknot verglichen?)

Ja und es gibt Fussball in Deutschland, der ist ein bissl mehr als das Kicken auf dem Feld vor dem Mökki hier in Finnland :rolleyes: ;)

und die sieht auch ohne maske/kostüm echt furchteinflößend aus. ein echter "schrank"!

[hullu poro]

woher weisst du? vor 2 Jahren hiess es mal, Lordi wollten weitestgehend anonym bleiben und deshalb nie ohne Maske in die Öffentlichkeit...aber inszwischen sind ja auch die richtigen Namen der Bandmitglieder bekannt, das war am Anfang auch nicht so...

Hullu,

Vielleicht trugen sie jetzt am Freitag auch keine Masken bei dem Qualifikationsauftritt?!
Das musste jetzt mal sein... *rofl*

PS: Irgendeine Zeitung sprach von gutaussehenden jungen Finnen

[hullu poro]

Jetzt verwirrst du mich...trugen sie nicht???
Ich habs nicht gesehen...

[sunny1011]

Du kennst mich ja, hullu - es war ein Scherz, natürlich hatten sie Masken! Sie haben wie Moooonster ausgesehen, der Sänger hatte Fluüüüuügel - aber vielleicht war das keine Verkleidung in diesem Sinne, wer weiss? He he

Deutschland is eh ausser Frage, wir können weder gute musa machen noch fussball spielen.

Beim Grand Prix gehört die Bundesrepublik zu den unabsteigbaren :rolleyes: , vielleicht sollte der DFB Dauerausrichter der WM werden, dann wäre das bundesdeutsche Team auch immer dabei :] .

Was, das gehört in die Rubrik Sport? Nein, das DFB-Team betreibt doch keinen Sport, diese Gurkentruppe ;) ...

Heute haben wir im Finnischkurs 2 Artikel über Lordi gelesen (jeweils mit Bild: yök)

Lording it over Eurovision

By Juha Akkanen

It is once again that time of the year when the Eurovision Song Contest stirs the public pot: has the right song been picked to represent Finland in Athens, and where will the Finnish entry place in the final, if it places at all?
This time around there have been shrieks of horror at the monstrous apparition that is being sent from the land of the polar bears to make Greek blood run cold and destroy the Finnish good name.
Since I have only heard a few seconds of the track that won the Finnish qualifying event, and not even that much of the candidates that lost to it, I can say with confidence: things will go at least as well in Athens as they have always gone previously.
As a rule, Finland has managed to secure a result in these affairs that would be a source of pride only to present-day Finnish cross-country skiers of the male variety.

The tactics adopted are perfectly right: when stodgy attempts at playing by the rules have not produced much more than a few points and a place in the basement, then why not go for broke with something completely off-the-wall.
The rest of Europe will get a good belly-laugh , whereas in the past the Finnish entry has more often than not been received with a mixture of pity and awkward fidgety embarrassment.

Another good thing about the chosen piece is that at least there are now no advance pressures. That is, unless some daft Finn goes and tries once more to cajole some praise out of his European colleagues.
The Finns still do not seem to have grasped that your standard European will commend our efforts out of sheer politeness. If some foreigner characterises the performance as "interesting", what he actually means is that it was "weird".
The choice this time around is much the same as Finland's previous Eurovision entries, in the sense that there is precious little melody and it is hard to make out the words. This time the artists also manage to look just as good as the piece sounds.

Back in the days when the Eurovision show was still a song contest, the average European taste was best appealed to either by those slightly wistful French chansons that look back warmly on love long gone, by melodic Irish ballads, or then by light, frothy numbers where the lyrics are utter gobbledy-gook, like the Dutch Ding-A-Dong, Lulu's Boom-Bang-a-Bang, or Sweden's post-Abba triumph in 1984, Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley.
The Finns do not seem to be able to carry off these genres with any degree of aplomb. On many occasions, the song sent to market has been an overly artistic concoction that would appeal to a couple of dozen listeners at best.
We have admittedly done marginally better in the stupid lyrics department: Pylly vasten pyllyä pum pum (the legendary "Let your hip go hippety, pump pump"), Tom Tom Tom, and Tipi-Tii [which actually collected maximum points from the UK jury in 1962] all come to mind.
In this nonsense-rhyme category there is one Finnish song that has done well in competition, but in the wrong competition. Sammy Babitzin's Daa-da, Daa-da would undoubtedly have been a hot number in the European arena. Of course, there would have been the slight caveat that juries from NATO countries might have suspected that the lyrics were espousing the eternal friendship of the Soviet peoples.

The concept of "just a soupcon of melancholy" does not fit into the Finnish emotional range, however hard we might try.
If one is feeling blue, then the standard practice is to wallow so deep in the slough of despond that no sane Central European would listen to that sort of whining, even out of politeness or human compassion. And in fairness, no Finn would, at least not sober.
It is fortunate that Elämän valttikortit has not - I guess - ever been a candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest. Europeans would not have recognised this morbid Finnish anthem of despair about how someone squandered away "the Royal Flush of life" for the dark parody it was originally meant to be. And, of course, the Finns didn't get the joke, either.
Which is why it sold by the truckload hereabouts.
