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

[win_the_game]

They're both absolutely FOUL.

 

[Madison]

Have a shot every time they sing "Lang geleden"

 

[Penelope]

There's something very forced fun about this chorus

 

[lolly]

Maxine rate

1 Maxine Peake
2 Maxine Carr
3 Maxine (not Brown)

 

[VoR]

She's giving me big Marie Osmond energy with that hair and pantsuit combo.

 

[Penelope]

God this is DREADFUL! WHERE IS THE FIREWORKS DISASTER WHEN YOU NEED IT

 

[Madison]

I still think Dutch is a sexy language.

 

[Suomi]

There is no safe space in this Dutch song, I panicked and threw my laptop out the window

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Tall and short was HILARIOUS in the 1990s.

 

[Tisch]

They are so hilariously mismatched size wise! I need to watch it again

 

[VoR]

This is totally the 'In a Moment Like This' of the 90s.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I hope they swap clothes half way.

 

[Penelope]

I still think Dutch is a sexy language.

Lisa Del Bo will prove me right.

 

[ButterTart]

He's dressed like Tony Slattery on Whose Line Is It Anyway and ready for a night on the town.

 

[VoR]

@Kevin will have to confirm, but I believe this one was a HUGE hit in The Netherlands.

[win_the_game]

Did she just FLINCH at the end when he touched her?

 

[dmlaw]

There's an awful lot of ginger in this contest.

 

[Tisch]

"prime minister of Flanders" it baffles me how Belgium is basically two different countries

 

[Penelope]

FLANDERS GETS ITS OWN PRIME MINISTER?!

 

[VoR]

This Belgian successfully sued Sweden's 2001 representatives for plagiarising her song.

 

[Tisch]

I LOVE THIS. Even if she does look scared of murderers Donna and Karen backstage

 

[Penelope]

Another one STRAIGHT OUTTA 1983. And I'd have LOVED IT THEN TOO

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Double dress DISASTER.

 

[win_the_game]

LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTBEAT
IT WILL TAKE YOU HIGHER

 

[dmlaw]

Someone has clearly just learned how to do all of these camera effects and was determined to use them.

 

[Tisch]

This Belgian successfully sued Sweden's 2001 representatives for plagiarising her song.

HOT GOSS

 

[AGinAg (37)]

AWFUL AND AMAZING.

 

[Penelope]

OT: when do pokers feature in card games?

 

[lolly]

Did this dress necessitate the Barbara Dex award?

 

[VoR]

"Life is a card game with jokers and pokers" is one of my favourite Eurovision lyrics of all time.

 

[Penelope]

OT: when do pokers feature in card games?

I imagine she's referring to tops for when they feature in life.

 

[Tisch]

Double dress DISASTER.

Looks like she had a Halloween costume she wanted to reuse
