Posted June 19, 201015 yr OK, pretty self explanatory. Out of all the countries, if they could send anyone who was either born in their country or is dual nationality. Who would be potential runaway winners? For example: Poland - Behemoth (Not sure if it would be allowed as they are satanic) or Armenia - System Of A Down (As long as they don't sing anti-Turkey or Anti-Azeri songs haha) Well you get my drift :)
June 19, 201015 yr I won't go for potential runaway winners, but just foreign acts I'd like to see: Ireland - Boyzone, Westlife Netherlands - Eva Simons, Esmee Denters, Within Temptation Romania - Inna, Edward Maya Belgium - Stromae? Spain - Enrique Iglesias Sweden - Agnes Greece - Marina & The Diamonds :P (I think she's part Welsh, part Greek)
June 19, 201015 yr I doubt Behemoth would be runaway winners, or even winners for that matter. System of a Down undoubtedly would though...

June 20, 201015 yr Author I doubt Behemoth would be runaway winners, or even winners for that matter. System of a Down undoubtedly would though... Yeah they could, it would just depend if their song yes accused of satanism, it would attract slot of metal fans to eurovision and get them voting. Nightwish for Finland?

June 20, 201015 yr ^You need crossover to win though, you can't just send any old metal and rely on controversy to win. Lordi had crossover, playing just to metal fans won't work.
June 20, 201015 yr Ghosty made me realize that I missed so many :drama: France: David Guetta Germany: Cascada Denmark: Alphabeat, Infernal, Medina, Sukkerchok Finland: The Rasmus Georgia: Katie Melua Malta: Chasing Pandora :wub: Norway: Madcon
June 20, 201015 yr Author ^You need crossover to win though, you can't just send any old metal and rely on controversy to win. Lordi had crossover, playing just to metal fans won't work. What was this crossover?
June 20, 201015 yr ^The fact that, due to the overblown and almost comic nature, a lot of people who don't normally listen to/like heavy metal decided to vote for it? Obvious, no?
June 20, 201015 yr Nightwish create interesting symphonic metal music though, not MOR dad rock like most failed metal acts in Eurovision perform. Having said that, I never understood why Hanna Pakarinen flopped in 2007 :(
June 21, 201015 yr Author The crossover for Behemoth would be that they are rebellious due to the fact they are extremely satanic! I for one would vote for it (I am not satanic, I am christian, I like the music)
June 21, 201015 yr I doubt Satanism alone would really bring enough crossover. There'd be a HUGE sense of 'been there, done that' as Lordi were accused of the same - and it isn't really a big deal anymore in most countries.
June 21, 201015 yr Author But the fact is, they weren't satanist, plus the fact that Behemoth would openly admit they are satanist. Either ways, I still think behemoth would win :)
June 21, 201015 yr ^Yeah, but it's about perception. Lordi were perceived as being Satanist, which was a part of their appeal. I doubt Satanism would really be enough to bag them victory, and think it's slightly patronising to the rest of the contest to think that a gimmick as weak as 'we worship Satan' on its own would be enough to bag victory...
June 21, 201015 yr Not to mention the impact of the jury vote. Even if the public bought into the hype, I couldn't see any jury voting in their droves for any old Behemoth song, it would have to be something melodically strong and memorable.
June 21, 201015 yr Author Ireland: Westlife, Boyzone, Ronan Keating (Solo), One Minute Silence (Re-union) Holland: Esmee Denters, Within Temptation, Epica Finland: Apocalyptica, Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, Turisas, The 69 Eyes, Korpiklaani, Battlelore, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, H.I.M Denmark: Aqua, Tyr, Germany: Rammstein, Scorpions, Armenia: System Of A Down, Sirusho, Sweden: Katatonia, Amon Amarth, Meshuggah Spain: Mago De Oz, Opeth, Breed 77 (or UK) Switzerland: Eleuveite, Hellhammer Bulgaria: Balkandji France: Gojira, David Guetta, Mika, Israel: Orphaned Land Poland: Vader, Behemoth Norway: Dimmu Borgir If Italy were to make a comeback then Lacuna Coiul would be a must have :) I know mine is mainly metal bands, but I have no knowledge at all of other genres really.,
June 30, 201015 yr Nightwish have tried..In 2000 they were the favourites and public chose them but jury votes were against them. Here's the song Edited June 30, 201015 yr by SKOB
June 30, 201015 yr Yeah, that was a great disappointment. Doesn't mean they can't try again though, especially now they've improved vastly during the last decade.
July 1, 201015 yr Yeah, that was a great disappointment. Doesn't mean they can't try again though, especially now they've improved vastly during the last decade. Of course not..And as they're huge these days, they would probably win the national final with any song
