Eurovision 2008: Norway

Tuomo writes: Ah Norway, Norway, Norway, Finland's dear neighbour whose Eurovision track record makes Finns feel good about their lackluster success :-) In their masochistic thinking, Finns think they have achieved the most last positions when in fact this claim to fame goes to the Norwegians, who incidentally also have the most zero points. So Finns haven't been able to achieve even that!! :-) Now on the other hand, Norway has won twice whereas Finland has won only once, so I guess that cancels everything else out and makes Norway more succesful... So here comes Norway, Maria Haukaas Storeng, and Hold on, Be Strong:

Here or

How could I describe this without appearing hurtful? Oh what the heck, this came across as fun and exciting as yesterday's unflavoured oatmeal that was prepared in water to control the amount of calories and served without frozen berries so as not to ruin the natural flavour of oatmeal. OK so that was what I had for breakfast yesterday (I'm still on WeightWatchers, remember?), but that pretty much IMHO described my thoughts about Norway's entry: blah and unexciting. Hmmm, I better start doing something about my breakfasts... Oh well the singer has boobs whereas... never mind... Next! :-)

Yawn.. That is an insult to oatmeal, Tuomo! This was much worse. Wrong song, wrong singer, wrong look!

This is actually a great song. No oatmeal..:(. The finnish song btw is a bit odd, being a copycat of Lordi. Just because it worked once..does'nt mean it will work now. Sorry...:D
