 Personally, I thought the most Orcish entry was the British one, which was so cringeworthy I couldn't bring myself to watch; at least 80's hair metal has the necessary Eurovision kitsch factor, so I was quite pleased an act like that won it.

Orhis alter ego could resurrect "jilted John" - altogether now..."Gordon is a moron"
Well for the actual UK entry it was more the impression given by my albeit cursory glance that it was an aging creep surrounding by schoolgirls. Either the residual teacher instinct is fine tuned to "child protection issues" or I am getting very middle aged and stuffy. To get relatively back on topic it did remind me of Terry Pratchett's Soul Music - I am sure that Imp y Celyn had a troll in his band .. ZZTop have got to be dwarves ..... and I think Morten Harket could have passed for an elf in his younger days - that Scandanavian thing again

I once shook hands with Morten Harket. I didn't wash it for weeks....you're so right Mith, he'd have made a lovely Noldo.

Sauron approves of ye band.
Is it Middle Earth Idol gone wild?
My reaction last night was "Wow, all that's missing is a giant flaming eye in the background". Or some guy dressed as Saruman coming on stage and saying to the lead singer, "Whom do you serve?"  Although, I'll bet if you watch them live, you might see their manager:  And the elf dancing! Oh, I can say no more as I only saw clips of them on the news. Next year, watch out for Gothmog and the Balrogs singing their hit single "Burning burning, burning!"

When I first saw a picture of the Orc fellas I thought it was GWAR, who do have a Tolkien inspired song. But I mean this whole heartedly, listen to them at your peril. They are not pleasant.
I'm quite amused at the prospect of Scandinavian countries being inspired in future to maybe put some of their black or death metal bands forward for Eurovision.

Wow. The elves must have really lost their musical touch to get beaten by orcs.
