Eurovision Rewatch: Baku 2012 - 20.00 GMT tonight (21/3)

[lolly]

It's spellbinding still, isn't it?

I get very much the same feels as when I first saw Christine doing Tilted on Jools Holland.

 

[Dark Carnival]

AZERBAIJAN LAND OF TEA?!

COKE babes

 

[Generic Account]

Poor Turkey

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The gay PANIC when it was revealed that Loreen swallowed some snow in her jury rehearsal and could POSSIBLY have bombed the jury vote as a result

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I really want to see the clip of Loreen choking on fake snow in the rehersal.

 

[Penelope]

I actually quite like this Turkish one in a LESSER ALADDIN STAGE NUMBER kind of way

 

[AGinAg (37)]

And back to form... when did Turkey pull out?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Poor Turkey

HOW ridiculous must that bitch feel!

Lovely horizontal strip tee.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Oh I LOVE Turkey!! It’s so fun and a bit of a balkan banger

 

[D5K]

The gay PANIC when it was revealed that Loreen swallowed some snow in her jury rehearsal and could POSSIBLY have bombed the jury vote as a result

I can still picture that performance with the mini cough in my head

 

[Beverley]

I don't mind the Turkish tat.

SEND THE PIRATES TO MY BEDROOM

[D5K]

This is awwwwwwful

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is so shit... Toilet break

 

[Penelope]

Your regular reminder that Can Bonomo basically sent the entirety of that Eurovision season fucking the Maltese entrant.

 

[Suomi]

This is like ameraal’s fashion college having a night out

 

[Alla]

 

[FetchFugly]

Completely iconic. I loved Loreen's little smile at the start from the audience response. All sewn up.

Even this Turkey number is quite fun. I watched this year at the Black Cap, which was probably a bit of a waste.

Was that the shoe dance guy?

 

[Penelope]

OMG IT'S THE CARPOOL KARAOKE OF THE SEAS

 

[Beverley]

The staging is quite clever tho

And back to form... when did Turkey pull out?

When the nimble pirates invaded the sultanate

 

[Suomi]

OMG IT'S THE CARPOOL KARAOKE OF THE SEAS

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is very very silly. Not sure I'm ready yet for a Turkish nautical musical number.

 

[Beverley]

OK, so with the passage of time, the next one might possibly be my favourite entry ever

 

[Penelope]

Oh THIS HARD-FACED OLD SOW

 

[Suomi]

I DO miss Turkey

 

[lolly]

It's only one step from Sacha Baron Cohen doing Hey Nonny Nonny to these ears

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The Turkish “boat” is MUCH LESS SPECTACULAR than my memory seemed to recall it being

 

[Alla]

Pastora

 

[D5K]

Oh THIS HARD-FACED OLD SOW

Oh there’ll be trouble

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is like ameraal’s fashion college having a night out

omg

 

[Suomi]

OK, so with the passage of time, the next one might possibly be my favourite entry ever

Is Loreen about to now perform Statements?

 

[Alla]

Oh THIS HARD-FACED OLD SOW

FUCK OFF!

 

[FetchFugly]

The captain of the ship was NOT a dancer.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg forgot Pastora was this year too!! Seriously what a year!

 

[Penelope]

I'm not saying I hate the song when I say she's a hard-faced old sow, I'm just saying she IS

 

[Suomi]

This Spanish diva’s energy reminds me of @VoR ’s theory that there are some entries that should be essentially subtitled “you WILL vote for this”, a la Eric Saade - Popular and Sahlene - Runaway

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh this is lovely.
