Eurovision Rewatch: Oslo, 1996 - 20.00 GMT tonight (01/04)

[Tisch]

The AUDIENCE! Looks more like mums and dads done for a "nice night out to the proms on a Groupon voucher". When did the gays start flooding in?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I know in these times of strife I have personally turned towards Enya. Norway has been doing it for 25 YEARS

Eurovision 93-96 channelled fucking Enya.

 

[Tisch]

Fuck me this is awkward!

BLISSFUL RIVER FUNERAL

!

 

[lolly]

Bless Morten. Magne always did have more personality.

 

[Madison]

There's a German-language cover version of 'I evighet', by Andreassen, all about sport.

 

[Tisch]

This is all so #metoo!

[VoR]

Lovely home crowd reaction for Elisabeth Andreassen.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh just sing The Sun Always Shines On TV or shut the fuck up.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They're pretending they've fucked various contestants! I hope Morten did fuck Gina.

 

[dmlaw]

Morten's comic timing is fuck awful. Ingvild's is better, but she's clearly barking up the wrong tree with Constantinos.

 

[Tisch]

I knew Norway had a royal family but I didn't know they waved in balconies the exact same way as ours!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Also surely one of those no-hopers from the coutries that were booted before the live show would've been a better use of a space than Spain.

 

[Penelope]

The bit they don't say is that that ugly child with the Polaroid grew up to be Anders Behring Breivik

I remember it well. They all poured out from under that skirt during No Goodbyes and have refused to leave since.

A fabulous Eurovision. Almost wall-to-wall 10s.

 

[Tisch]

Am I drunk? Is this hilarious? Is this true? I don't know what to think about anything anymore

 

[Penelope]

A fabulous Eurovision. Almost wall-to-wall 10s.

And a lovely lights show in the Netherlands too!

 

[Tisch]

Omg Elaine and Karen! It's everyone's MUMS "CRAZY FRIENDS"

 

[Madison]

There's a bit of Anders Behring Breivik's diaries (or manifesto?) where he complains about Eurovision, and Norway sending Stella Mwangi.

 

[ButterTart]

Did they know in advance they were presenting this or were they a last minute replacement for Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox?

 

[win_the_game]

And a lovely lights show in the Netherlands too!

Lighting fireworks in the streets over Linda's 13th place.

 

[Penelope]

Oh TROT OUT JACQUES CHIRAC YOU CHEAP FUCKS

 

[VoR]

I forgot about ELAINE AND KAREN representing France this year.

 

[Tisch]

I remember it well. They all poured out from under that skirt during No Goodbyes and have refused to leave since.

Okay, is you being a heterosexual one big moopy joke because I believed it up until tonight!

If only he'd been at the actual contest. He might have taken out the Spanish singer.

 

[Madison]

I'm proud the UK never gave in and sent a song in Cornish or Welsh.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh shit I actually know this one. It's quite good.

 

[lolly]

I'm surprised that blonde one's hair was ever legal in France.

 

[Penelope]

Oh god DON'T PUT AWAY THE CRYSTAL SETS FROM BETTAN LOVES! These CELTIC LEY LINES NONCES NEED YOU TOO!

 

[Suomi]

Weird to think they’re both in jail now

 

[Tisch]

Loving this!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Imagine late ABBA but shit.

 

[Tisch]

Weird to think they’re both in jail now

Murdered Elaizia?

 

[VoR]

This was definitely Fleetwood Mac's worst reunion.

 

[ButterTart]

Okay, is you being a heterosexual one big moopy joke because I believed it up until tonight!

I am, I'm just down with the gayz. Around here I'm whatever the male equivalent of a fag hag is.

 

[Penelope]

OMG this is INCREDIBLE! DOUZE POINTS
