But what about other esc songs? Which of them has done better than Lordi? My point was that if Lordi doesn`t have a change, it means quite sad situation for other songs, which have done so much worse than Lordi. Lordi has gained success all over Europe if you compare it to normal esc songs, and most of the previous winners. Like it or not.
All over Europe ??? the Nordic countries, Flanders, the German-speaking but English-singing countries and one or two other minors countries in Europe is NOT all over Europe.
Don`t have chance?
I think they had a very good chance, and according to their success that is not all they have. If a band that has hit the charts all over europe and now in Japan doesn`t have a chance, then what about all the other resent esc songs that haven`t had even the slightest bit of Lordi`s success..
Unfortunatelu Lordi is in fact one of the most modern things in ESC in years. Hopefully that will change in 2007.
ahms ... nice
good luck to ... lordi though they dont have any chance.....
nothing new to offer
lordi for me are so oldfashioned ...
Go Lordi! Great to hear that they are making some noise in different parts of the world. 
Lordi is taking over the world! In March there CD is getting released in the USA.
Lovex will be the best choice for Finland.
maybe their growing popularity in germany, autria and switzerland will give them many points if they qualify
