Poll: International breakthrough yes/no

Less annoying than a lot of songs I hear on the radio over here. I think it can make it yeah.

Not my cuppa' tea though.

The video is not available in my country.

Totally not my style of music. She lacks the falsetto shrieks of doom, the meat-grinder throng of a thousand guitar solos at once, any form of blast drumming or backward satanic messages screamed over the sound of people in sheer and utter anguish...

This is not metal. The goat demons in my skull cannot stomach girls with guitars unless they are strapped down with leather and spikes and set things on fire. Or at least let a fat woman play, why are we so sexist that every female artist need be a super-model? I don't need to want to mate with somebody to enjoy their music. That would have made things very awkward during my roadie days anyhow. Doubt Dio or Yngwie would have appreciated it much.

In any case, I envy you Europeans. In less than a few hundred miles away in any direction, you have the best metal bands on the face of the planet touring. Germany alone has more awesome metal fests than every state in the US combined. All we get over here is washed up old glam bands at best, more often than not some R&B or Hip Hop noise by some kid half my age grunting over a sampled loop he stole off somebody else's cruddy album. Trying to act all tough and gangster, when everybody with wikipedia access knows that he was born to rich LA parents with some momma's boy name like "Dwayne" or "Thurman", and not whatever street cred name he likes to call himself now. Sings about growing up in the hood when in all reality, the closest thing to a drive-by they ever were involved in was when they were quail-hunting on horseback during summer camp.

That's the dutch ..too stingy to spring for international viewing ..... ;)

Can't view it either - so my vote would have to be no if they do not intend to share :)

I voted: Yes, I think this song can also be popular in other countries...

Why?

Because it follows the same foolproof formula to success that's been proven to work for decades.

- It has a simple melody that musically uneducated people do not find dull, instead it gets their foot tapping along.

- It's got a memorable chorus (remarkably the high notes).

- She's not an eyesore.

I, personally, dislike this kind of popjunk that doesn't differentiate from millions of other performers like that. If you can sing that well, why bury your talent in such a boring musical template. Originality is the key to the books of music history, unfortunately the industry also promotes this type of one-hit-wonders too...

Stole my line :D

Aussie idol version vs. Dutch idol version of Climb Every Mountain.

Lordi won the Eurovision 2006 contest with this little song. YouTube - Lordi - Hardrock Hallelujah Such horrible glam style, but look at the metal message this song brings... "Cheer up gloomy goth girl, for while you will never be popular, the power of metal within you has the power to slay cheerleaders, and animate them into feral slut-zombies." Just even more evidence why Europe rocks the metal scene. ;)

Haha, thats awesome! I never saw the video, its funny thanks :D

* especially love the drummer, looks like something out of a cheap horror film :)

It's a decent song and many decent songs make it big. It's not the Beatles though, that's for sure.

Soulz basically answered the production/marketing wise. It's a basic formula that has proof its mark since the 70's
