Eurovision Rewatch: Birmingham 1998 - 20.00 GMT tonight (25/3)

[Dark Carnival]

Is that Alizée?

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm actually overdue reconsidering the work of James.

 

[Penelope]

This Belgian one is perpetually ruined for me by the anecdote that @Suomi's (?) dad found her, a 16 year old woman, deeply attractive.

 

[Tisch]

Oh it's Tin Tin Out feat. Shelley Nelson in French!

 

[straightorbroken]

Is that Alizée?

Still being chased in a field at this point.

 

[octophone]

There's a definite pattern of a lot of female singers have a band a good deal older than she is, miming along.

Also - ill-fitting suit. never a good look.

 

[VoR]

Strong head girl energy from 90s Blanche.

 

[lolly]

I want to chin that cunt guitarist

 

[Penelope]

Oh this is so CRAP NINETIES

 

[Tisch]

What's with all the BLAZERS

 

[Lucille]

This Belgian one is perpetually ruined for me by the anecdote that @Suomi's (?) dad found her, a 16 year old woman, deeply attractive.

But she is!

 

[Madison]

The lyrics are oddly serious. Bombs, a world with money, vacuous lovers.

[lolly]

It's all a bit Eurovision does Soul II Soul, isn't it?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm actually overdue reconsidering the work of James.

That's your takeout! I'm considering transitioning and becoming a 43 year old Irish woman.

Like a NINETIES LANA DEL REY

 

[octophone]

Oh this is so CRAP NINETIES

Innit? There were dozens of songs like this every week. It also sounds like she's singing "seaweed".

 

[octophone]

I'm actually overdue reconsidering the work of James.

Worth it.

 

[Lucille]

This Belgian one is perpetually ruined for me by the anecdote that @Suomi's (?) dad found her, a 16 year old woman, deeply attractive.

Although a bit uncomfortable her song is ‘SAY YES!’

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Was that about SHE WEE'S?

 

[straightorbroken]

Presumably necks don't grow until you're 17 in Belgium.

 

[VoR]

Hang onto your crystal sets lads, it's Finland!

 

[Madison]

If I recall correctly, Suomi is oddly fond of this Finnish one.

 

[lolly]

I can help but look at the two hairstyles on her head batting for supremacy, and realise that neither is going to win.

 

[Penelope]

That's your takeout! I'm considering transitioning and becoming a 43 year old Irish woman.

I'm considering transitioning and becoming DANA INTERNATIONAL

 

[Penelope]

If I recall correctly, Suomi is oddly fond of this Finnish one.

I was ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME

 

[straightorbroken]

That's your takeout! I'm considering transitioning and becoming a 43 year old Irish woman.

Well tick-tock, tick-tock

 

[Lucille]

Dressed like PENELOPE!??!

 

[Madison]

For years, I genuinely thought this was in a fictional language, but it turns out it's just Finnish.

 

[Penelope]

The lyrics only have six words and it's @Suomi's 7 this year or something.

 

[win_the_game]

Add me to the Finland fanclub.

 

[octophone]

The shirts! Was it still 1976 in Finland?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Dressed like PENELOPE!??!

Nude and just climbed out of a skip.

 

[Tisch]

SPEAK UP LOVE

 

[straightorbroken]

Worth it.

You know what I'm here for

 

[Lucille]

I like this!!

 

[Penelope]

It's no LAPPONIA *boom* *boom*

 

[Penelope]

Very pale. Looks like she could do with a Lucozade

 

[straightorbroken]

Like the cadaver of Shania Twain re-enacting From This Moment On.

 

[Lucille]

Nude and just climbed out of a skip.

She does look on the EDGE OF DEATH!

 

[octophone]

Well done on getting Medusa's hairdresser tho'.
