Oh, lordi! Indeed, Esty, there's no accounting for taste. There's orcs everywhere these days.
I will do some web searching to see if I can catch a few songs of those groups just to see what you are talking about. Seems like some Icelandic elves (Sigur Ros) would have made a welcome addition!

I only caught the end, so I only caught the winners performing their reprise.
Great costumes. Terrible, hackneyed 80s-style metal song. If that is sufficient to win Eurovision, I dread to think what the other entries were like ...  Bring back Abba ...

 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.
