Kitch-tastic Eurovision Nonsense
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
Music Towers loves a bit of Eurovision. At least when Lordi are involved. They were, are, and will always be seven shades of awesome thanks to the pomp and OTT-genius of "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
Earlier this year we reported that Morrissey was among the "respectable" artists the BBC had approached for Britain's entry this year. The quiffed, LA-based fop decided not to participate though, as it would mean subjecting himself to a public vote against other possible contenders.
Today though, the BBC have released the people who are going ahead and will be up for selection: Justin Hawkins, formerly of The Darkness, fan of running himself over in his own car, Brian Harvey of East 17, ex-Atomic Kitten, Liz McClarnon, crappy hip hop collective Big Brovaz, reformed pop foursome Scooch, and relative newcomer Cyndi.
They're hardly up there with Jarvis Cocker, who'd also expressed interest in submitting a song, are they? For the record, Music Towers Eurovision Expert wants Scooch to win, saying they were "wonderfully rubbish even back in the mid 90s"
