Alf Poier is my new hero

[Stefu]

Curse the evil gods for me missing his Eurovision performance! Luckily I managed to download a video of him performing his song in the Austrian finals. He was robbed of his victory, I tell you, robbed! 6th place is not enough! I was particularily enthralled by the younger back-up singer and her moshing.

Clearly this man has shown the way. Eurovision contests would be so much better if everyone had his attitude. And I can surely say that his act will be the only one I'll remember from the 2003 Eurovision contests. I might remember that Turkey won, Belgium almost won and UK was complete crap, but Alf Poier will inhabit a little wittle cloud in my head for some time.

Especially Finland should take note, except go a step further. Finland has traditionally produced only crap, so next year we should just go and nominate Lordi. Victory would be the only option.

ALF! Doesn't his raw animal magnetism simply seep from this picture?

Is it just me, or this guy has "Kick me!" written all over his forehead?

Stefu, you're a genius.

The man is clearly handling the contest with the respect it deserves; none.

not everyone. this would become too boring soon. one or two performers per competition, but not too many. we also need singers taking the UK part. how about Finland next year?

KaZaa offers a 47 MB video of Alf poier. downloading it right now.

how about Finland next year?

[oedo]

EDIT: Oedo was faster than me, check above post.

When we're not in we do it in spirit.

anyway, someone wanted to know what alf is singing about. this evening I will try to translate it to German first and the into English language, if anyone is interested.

edit: no need :

Amen, brother Stefu!

And Alf only lost due to some inexplicable weakness towards the end of voting. It's been a conspiracy, I tell ya!

[Stefu]

Preach it, brother Hersh!

Europeans just don't understand good music when they hear it.

I use this phrase often these days; maybe it's nostalgia, but:

Amen, brother Kropotkin!

Edit: Damn, Roland beat me to it!
