Mmm, fishy
What inspires a Eurovision stage? In 1994, it was very obviously an evening Irish skyline. 1996 may have been inspired by an oil rig. Last year, Greece went for the amphitheatre look. However, YLE have now revealed that this year's Eurovision stage has been inspired by the jaw of a fish.
It sounds unbelievable, but apparantly the jawbone of the 'hauki', or pike fish, is what the stage is based upon. So all acts will appear as if they are starring in a musical reconstruction of Jonah and the Whale.
Supposedly this is all very Finnish, and it has been said that the Finns want to show their quirky side - the postcards are going to show this apparantly, no doubt a riotous affair will be had. The interval act will mix hard rock mixed with circus, dance and tenderness so I've heard. Sounds good, but it's no Riverdance is it. The last interval act I enjoyed was 2003, I hope they make it a good'en!
And fear not - I believe Lordi will open this year's Eurovision final with their unbeatable Hard Rock Hallelujah. Hallelujah indeed.
