TORNERO is ugly song and it wasn't worth place in final in Athens 2006!!!
LT UNITED THE BEST
Vilnius 2008
Am I the only one who thinks BWO had a positively Awful song and the lead singer cannot sing??
WHERE! IS! INES! WITH! ISEENDALE!?
In a SONG contest, the SINGER must be able to SING...
but Mr. Lordi sounded as if a ... strangled bat
got caught in his throat!!!!!
FACT: 1) An on-stage FIRE WORKS display and 2) horrible COSTUMES are
the TWO REASONS Finland won the Eurovision ... SONG contest in Athens.
Televoters ended up SAFELY voting for a song that THEY even thought
NEVER stood a chance to win (but did!) ... VERY SCARY, if you ask me!
It was supposed to be Tornero versus Everything
and EVERYONE knows it ... they were the TOP 2 SONGS!!
Pardon, but as proven and said by Mr Lordi himself, its not always going to be the same, its whos the best on the night, and Finland were, and still are. Thats why its not Bucharest 2007, its Helsinki 2007, it would have been, regardless. Finland were the best on the night, they proved it by smashing two long standing ESC records.
Finland rock!
Romania's T.O.R.N.E.R.O. was indeed the BEST UPBEAT SONG at the
ESC 2006 ATHENS and Greece's E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. was the BEST BALLAD;
one that, literally, ROCKED the house!!!!!
Europe Felt the Rhythm ... and the thunderous applause for these two SONGS!!!!!
Congrats to the other winners as well ... especially Molly from Sweden!
Tornero was awesome and should have won! It was so cool and what an amazing performance! It should be Bucharest 2007! Maybe next year will be Romania's turn and it will be Bucharest 2008.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's song, Lejla would have been an excellent winner as well.
