The Wacken Hot Tub (General Chat)

I think back in lordi's days the share of call in votes was much bigger than it is nowadays. so basically anybody that liked a bit of rock or metal voted for them.

Hallo jij biet. Er vliegt er een op je hoofd

I will go back if my surgery solves my health issues.
But I don't know when that will be. but don't expect me there next year either

Ah right. Is it the sleep apnea thing?

The point system has definitely changed somehow at some point, not sure when and how tho. But also Lordi was so different to everything else that had been in the competition.

yeah. I'm currently wearing braces, which is a lot of fun

With Lordi, it was 100% televoting.
But people wanted the "(pick any country) : 12 points (EN & FR)" back!
I don't know however how much weight is on the votes. Nor how it's calculated!

Both are 50% basically.

Damn, missed the ESC chit chat! Well, I agree with you Milkie, also super chuffed that one of my favourite Aussie bands got 9th place. They've only been trying to campaign for ESC for the last 10 years, so good to see the Australian judges woke up to themselves and finally sent Voyager over.

Ah damn that sucks.

yeah.
Also got 4 teeth pulled.

But it's the end result that counts. so, fingers crossed

But then again, Belgium, 12 points from Australia !

Yeah I feel like a bunch of actually good bands/artists got low points

I'm glad it's almost weekend

You know what's great? Waking up at the crack of dark, spending 1.5 hours getting to work on the bus (+ a total of 1km walking), then repeat on the way home in total darkness.

But you know what's actually great? A pay rise on top of an increased pay bracket.

Speaking of Voyager, I got my ticket to see them again this weekend. It's been yet another expensive pay period and I had to borrow from another account to afford it (I could have waited until Wednesday, but I had a dream that it sold out and I couldn't go, but to be fair there aren't many tickets left).
