Eurovision Rewatch: Kyiv 2005 - 20.00 GMT tonight (28/3)

[Dark Carnival]

OMG now I feel horrible

NOT ACTUALLY?!

 

[dmlaw]

This styling is rank. Jeans and cream sports jackets.

 

[Madison]

They're both a bit muntin', bebs

Valters is clearly better looking than Kazha.

EDIT: *was

 

[AGinAg (37)]

All lesbians get cancer in the end.

 

[Beverley]

Don't try to harmonise, guys

 

[Dark Carnival]

NOT ACTUALLY?!

Actually, I don't care.

Definite "the nice boy at the school disco who turned out to be an inveterate groper"

 

[Raining on Me]

I love Switzerland randomly turning up on a whim, for better or worse, then skipping 5 years for all their efforts show

Latvia DISGUSTING on all levels

 

[lolly]

So is the dead one Sandi Toksvig after a ghd incident, or the other one?

 

[win_the_game]

Is this sign language?

Sweet.

The WANKER hand gesture seems appropriate at this point.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh finally!

 

[FetchFugly]

Dear me.

Based on this show all jeans were really horrible in 2005.

[Beverley]

This was one of my faves of the year

I made my French friend translate it for me

The other one. Lesbian with the neck.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Tangled in a cow grate.

 

[Penelope]

Oh I do ADORE this SLINKY FRENCH NONCE

 

[Dark Carnival]

What's that accent? Is she actually French??

 

[Penelope]

Love those LITHE OIL TANKER DANCE MOVES STRIDING ACROSS THE STAGE

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP

 

[octophone]

Her dress appears to be based on Spongebob Squarepants.

 

[Madison]

This should have got the Barbara Dex award.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What is with the raggedy hemlines? Were all clothes torn to shape?

 

[Generic Account]

France not bad at all this year. It's no Amir but nice.

Well done @Dark Carnival.

 

[Penelope]

Well done @Dark Carnival.

 

[Alla]

I prefer this as an mp3 than an Eurovision performance.

 

[Beverley]

What's that accent? Is she actually French??

ISRAELI

 

[Madison]

As much as I dislike most change in all its forms, I am glad that producers now control the running order.

 

[win_the_game]

What's that accent? Is she actually French??

Looking at her discography, I suspect French-Israeli.

• Bar Mitsvah (2008)
• Songs For Bar Mitsvah (2009)
• Mazeltov Jewish Songs (2009)
• Best Jewish Songs (2009)
• Jewish Hits Music (2009)
• Israelian Songs (2009)
• Mazeltov Jewish Tunes (2011)

Oh, it was a thing for a while - asymmetric hems. It was a sad time .

 

[dmlaw]

What's that accent? Is she actually French??

Born in Israel of Berber and Andalusian origins, according to Wikipedia.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This ranges from 4/10 to A+.

 

[Raining on Me]

For fuck sake even France turning up in 2005 with an eastern-tinged number

I hope Javine was downing absinthe shots by this point

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is not bad, if a bit cheap...

 

[lolly]

VERY MUCH here for those STABBING DISCO STRINGS

 

[Penelope]

OMG was that DJ CHIKA-CHIKA-BREAKDOWN! bit RECORDED?!

@Madison FURIOUS

[Alla]

Indie is here, @octophone!

No wonder she needed two years off after making 5 albums in 2009...
