Like a YOUNG VOLDEMORT!

 

[Tisch]

Poor him another Iggy

He's gone to bed. Watch my posts take a big DIP in quality.

 

[COB]

Just realised what an easy night's work this was for Ulrika!

 

[Generic Account]

I was making a poor joke. When ag asked if you lived in Denmark and you replied with 2013. I've had wine I'm SORRY

Ohh. I get it now.

...

See ya at the weekend.

 

[Lucille]

Am I drunk yet or was that quite good?

 

[Penelope]

Just realised what an easy night's work this was for Ulrika!

And yet she STILL FOUND TIME FOR A GAFFE

 

[octophone]

This is where I'm struggling because this just sounds like unmitigated, pompous shite to me.

 

[Raining on Me]

Ooh Cypriot conductor is quite a delicacy. Assuming the conductor isn't the same all the way through

 

[Penelope]

LOVED Genesis

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That was SOLID.

 

[Tisch]

Haha Wogan being completely unbiased there

 

[VoR]

EDSILIA

 

[Penelope]

OMG EDSILIA

 

[Lucille]

Why does each country have their own composer!

 

[VoR]

Truly the Alexandra Burke of the 90s.

 

[Lucille]

Is this a MOMENT?

 

[octophone]

Lurch conducting...

 

[Tisch]

This is this year's host isn't it? And this is a good one right?

 

[Lucille]

I think it is!

 

[Penelope]

A young funky preparing to FRUG AWAY to this c. 1998

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooooh

 

[COB]

CHOREO

 

[Tisch]

YYAAAASSS ARM DANCING!!

 

[VoR]

She was going to co-host this year's Contest BTW. I hope they invite her back.

 

[Lucille]

It’s a really UN FUNKY language isn’t it.

 

[win_the_game]

This lot represent everything that was wrong with 90s hair.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh HER!

 

[Penelope]

[Lucille]

What's with the bloke spiking his hair with PRITT STICK?

 

[straightorbroken]

I like to think she spotted a Gladiator and everything we're seeing was improvised around her going AWOL.

 

[win_the_game]

It’s a really UN FUNKY language isn’t it.

Like German with added phlegm.

 

[VoR]

Is that U2's THE EDGE on backing vocals?

 

[straightorbroken]

Did she swallow Diana King?

 

[Tisch]

There is a clear divide between the top 4/5 and the rest I must say

 

[Penelope]

Have to say, the orchestra's really ADDING TO THIS ONE chez Pen

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is that U2's THE EDGE on backing vocals?

No, it's a different cunt.

 

[Lucille]

Bringing it home!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

THIS IS 90s CHART POP.
