Timo Kotipelto will be in the Finnish TV series "Kuorosota". This is to be broadcast next year on the Finnish national TV channel 4.
The program has the same concept as the Swedish "Körslaget": a handful of strong personalities each get to lead their own choir, which then performs, and viewers get to phone in their votes for their favorite. In Sweden the program turned out to be a huge hit with viewers and media in general, eclipsing programs such as "Idol".
The Swedish version featured HammerFall's Joacim Cans as the only (token?) metalhead. But as Lordi knows, metalheads can be very tenacious ... and as most people in Sweden know, Joacim actually ended up winning it!
Here are some Finnish links about it:

http://www.iltalehti.fi/viihde/200811068551491_vi.shtml
If you're curious, here is a pretty typical example of what Team Cans looked like in the Swedish one:

The evening papers ate it up etc:

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Any chance for you guys to appear in MTV Headbanger's Ball broadcasting in the US? If not, that's OK.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?!

Wow, what a really cool idea! I've never heard of this. That performance by team Cans was impressive!JensJohansson wrote:Timo Kotipelto will be in the Finnish TV series "Kuorosota". This is to be broadcast next year on the Finnish national TV channel 4.

Go Team Kotipelto!!
What are the rules? I take it they can pick whomever they want to be in their choir, pros or amateurs? Is there a limit to the size of the choir and are they suppose to perform an original song or any song?
I really hope they post this on the 'net after it's over. I'd love to see the whole thing. But of course, Go Team Kotipelto!!

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Irina, Marion, Kristiina Wheeler, Veeti, Mikki Kauste sekä Timo Kotipelto.
ok three people without last names. very helpful for me to look them up. can someone give a little english background on the rest?

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Not that atractive idea for me. Since I stopped to watch TV a few years ago, I have some natural aversion to everything what's on TV. But Timo and his choir have my support of course

Re: Clash of the Choirs
watched some youtube vids from the swedish show
watch this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdvTRpyw ... re=related
Those shows are for entertaiment. When you look at those performances there is no need for a conductor. So its basically about doing some things that the audience is amused. Where was Jens in the swedish show? (think it would be funny)

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Team Kotipelto definatly has my support, they're going to kick ass.
I also agree with neverendingabyss it would be really cool if you guys could do an interview for Mtv's headbangers ball here in the states.
But also like him I'll be okay if it's not possible.

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Alright I will vote for Kotipelto, I'm afraid I think Irina's going to win though...
Re: Clash of the Choirs
a TV preview of the show....

Good luck Timo team !
(check out the last singer - If I am not mistaken, this is Irina. No offense, but I think she has good chance to win the contest...)

Re: Clash of the Choirs
I saw a tv commercial, it seems they'll sing atleast Over the hills and to far away.
Re: Clash of the Choirs
OK. But why is it good? I don't understand why good these kind of shows? What want to show Timo? Is him more or less if he in this TV show. Does him add values to this poor word or it is just l'art pour l'art or worse: just show for money?
I like Stratovarius, you give me a lots of sound, thoughts, emotions. You are a great band.

Re: Clash of the Choirs
Why is it a good thing? Well, perhaps it can get other people interested in Stratovarius or Kotipelto's solo works. And, of course, it's entertainment for us as well.
Now why wouldn't it be a good thing?

Me and my friend (after some 12 beers and a bottle of Koskenkorva): OI MAAMME SUOMI SYNNYINMAA (in ridiculous falsetto), SOI SANA KULTAINEN!!!!
Some equally drunk dude from a distance: So you just had to rape that song!?
Edit: Didn't mean to say that Kotipelto & co. raped that song though.
