Title: Faith in Greece Restored
Post by: Lannistark on May 19, 2013, 12:45:36 am: Honestly, has anyone seen Greece's performance in Eurovision last night? Name of song "Alcohol is free" is fucking ironic given the current situation. Hilarious pack of drunkmen. Faith in Greece restored now.

Post by: Panos on May 19, 2013, 01:13:31 am: Greek government spend 500.000 euros to send a song to my old friendvision.

And that is why my country does not deserve good things. While major cuts happen in every section, we sponsor a song for a fucked up song contest.

I guess Turks are dumb that stopped sending songs there. ALL HAIL GREECE, THE SMARTEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD.

I hate modern Greeks.

Meh, you probably stole that from 9gag, which they probably stole from somewhere else.

You're missing the major problem about Turkey. They spend most of the money into religious affairs, even more than they spend into education. Because, clearly Islam is more important than education.

Looks like they send potato, but potato only made it to the semi-finals.

Is this latvian folk music?

Anouk from Netherlands had the best song this year, actually it's the only song that I count as music. Everything else was beyond awful, just like every other year.

Poor Bonnie Tyler, she hit the bottom...

I assume that a big majority of metal bands don't give two shits about Eurovision song contest :D. It's kind of a sign of sell out in metal community to go into some contest and get free publicity that way. I believe in the combination of talent and hard work. Touring and making records every 2-3 years. Slowly but surely increasing the fan base with brutal tours is the only way you are ever going to be taken seriously in metal and I think it is good for the quality of the music :rolleyes:.

Let me tell you, our "country" didn't send anybody. Some record label sent Britney Spears. Can't believe some people still don't understand capitalism :lol:

It's funny to have a song that basically says "fuck you" to the entire contest win.

So true.

Was there anything similar to this in the contests at all?

They always make the same boring, annoying homo-pop.

Lol it had to be Finland :D. I didn't mind Lordi doing that since I always knew about the attentionwhory ways of them. Sorry for doing this comparison but the singer is like Gene Simmons of Kiss. He is a business man. I think we sent another metal/hard rock band after that but it backfired. Mostly because Lordi already did that hard rock thing (I assume it's not going to work twice) and the guys were singing Manowar styled hero metal in Finnish. People don't appreciate our beautiful and complex language :(. The intro tells a lot about the commentator's knowledge of music genres... "Gothic rock"... Pfffft this is why we can't have good things.

Good that both of these heavier bands Finland sent weren't taken seriously anyways. I always thought that Lordi was a metal band for kids and Teräsbetoni was a parody about Manowar and they weren't too serious about their stuff anyhow. "Doing it for lulz" :D.
Title: Re: Faith in Greece Restored
Post by: zagibu on May 20, 2013, 05:57:49 pm: To be fair, Lordi had a much better show than Teräsbetoni. In this contest, optical opulence can be as important, maybe even more so, than good music.

That Lordi video had me laughing so hard. The visuals were cool, they had that down, but it reminded me of some local battle of the band with some funny, but still corny lyrics from a purely musical standpoint.

I guess the topless ladies and all that usual Manowar stuff is not allowed in Eurovision stage :D
