Not UK, or any other country who support USA in the gulf.

I'm betting someone from the east side of the continent

Terry Wogan is terrific as always!!

Sweden has yet to come, but it's a strong entry this year and Carola managed to win the whole contest in 1991, so why not a second time?!
The Greek song is not bad either, and honestly I think the UK entry is quite fun...

Lordi (Finland) for me they just got to for being so original. Does anyone remember a 1980s heavy metal/thrash band by the name of Gwar (do a Google and look for pictures) the costumes look identical, though Lordi didnt have the pig guts spraying the crowd and fake blood like Gwar. It was fun coming out of a concert looking like you had been in a massacre

That band have brought back so many memory of rock concerts and the shocking things you would do - ahh those were the days

"If she says amazing one more time, I'm going home" is my favourite...

It will be VERY interesting to see what Europe thinks about the Finnish monsters...
