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

[D5K]

I was in a room with Greeks in it. It became quite annoying.

I remember it being annoying, but not why.

 

[lolly]

Thank fuck we saved it with that 12, because that was a dreadful set of votes otherwise.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Greece finally moving up!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The British one drinking! No shock there

Bucks Fizz reference? No. Ok!

 

[Alla]

And here comes the big jump for Greece, top 2!

 

[VoR]

I see my 87 votes for Malta that night paid off.

 

[Madison]

I remember it being annoying, but not why.

Did they even go to our college? I remember the Greeks that night, but never again.

 

[Alla]

Bucks Fizz reference? No. Ok!

No.

 

[D5K]

Still don’t understand Denmark doing so well

 

[Penelope]

Good LORD, it's NEVER still so close this far in!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No.

REALLY?

 

[Alla]

Greece on top for the first time.

*euroqueens screaming losing their shit*

 

[Penelope]

14 points between first and eighth nearly halfway in!

 

[Madison]

How did Cyprus afford those 12 points from Malta?

 

[lolly]

This is excruciating

 

[dmlaw]

I spent the day of the Euro 2004 football final in a hall of residence with a lot of Greeks. I imagine that it was very much like that.

 

[Alla]

REALLY?

I got it when you said it, but I wasn't paying much attention. SORRY.

 

[Dark Carnival]

What a mess!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What a SPECIAL SURPRISE.

 

[D5K]

Did they even go to our college? I remember the Greeks that night, but never again.

Don’t remember them at all, just remember someone in there complaining constantly about Israel.

 

[Penelope]

How did Cyprus afford those 12 points from Malta?

No juries at this point so plausibly ENTIRELY GENUINE

 

[lolly]

Closing in on Baku in terms of posts

 

[Alla]

Ruslana was already very annoying.

 

[Dark Carnival]

what the actual fuck!

 

[Madison]

Don’t remember them at all, just remember someone in there complaining constantly about Israel.

Oh yes.

 

[Penelope]

What the FUCK IS THIS?

 

[D5K]

Ruslana and the giant horseshoe...

 

[VoR]

Oh the AGONY of those Maltese votes

*Greece finally hit the top*

Crowd: YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

"And Latvia... 10 points!"

Crowd:

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That really was a SPECIAL SURPRISE.

 

[Penelope]

What a TACKY CD COVER!

 

[VoR]

Neither one HAS A CLUE what the other is saying, do they?

 

[dmlaw]

Going all shopping channel for the CD there.

 

[win_the_game]

Wow that's a MS Paint job

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The Norwegian commentator is pleasantly low key.

 

[win_the_game]

What a lovely fireworks display in Bucharest.

 

[win_the_game]

The Norwegian commentator is pleasantly low key.

I wish I hadn't changed to Terry Wogan sulking about JOHNNY FOREIGNER and such.

 

[Alla]

12 to... Moldova!

Euroqueens screaming (because they didn't go to Latvia)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh that's a fun little outfit from Norway.

 

[win_the_game]

Nasty blouse from Ms Norway.

 

[lolly]

I take some comfort in the fact that at this point, Nanne would have been pissing herself a bottle and a half of akvavit down.
