People who watch this thing that is happening a week today (shit!) will point at this and say: “Haven’t Lordi opened the show?” or maybe: “Blimey, it’s last year’s winner again!” And that is going to be its undoing.
I suspect that SSR think that it’s a benefit. However, I think it places Bobo at a disadvantage. He doesn’t sing that much, and the nice lady whose name escapes me has been somewhat ropy, and seems to rely more on shouting.
I can see it qualifying, but I think it is too much like Lordi to be classified as different. Bobo has also changed the opening line and now says: “Vampires all over Europe, Come Alive.”
I suspect that there are points to be had from ‘all over Europe’ because of who he is and that will lift this song to places it does not deserve to be .
Qualify? Yes … Win? I should Bobo!
