Eurovision Rewatch, Jerusalem 1999, 23.00 UK TIME, TONIGHT 03/04/20.

[PopLife]

Trivia - this was the first year when the perennial loser Aiste Pilvelyte appeared in their NF. Woman surely is a fighter...

 

[ButterTart]

These postcards are making me wish Palestine would become a nuclear power.

 

[Madison]

Wogan ruined this one for BBC viewers with some tired joke about a ‘nose flute’.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Now Belgium is a song that I always thought curiously did not do BETTER

I LIKE this! It didn't do well?

 

[Lucille]

I said this before in 1998 and 2000, but I’m loving these Linda Evangelista cuts on the women.

 

[win_the_game]

This is incredibly naff.

 

[ButterTart]

Is the man supposed to be on stage?

 

[Dark Carnival]

LA BELGIQUE DOUZE POINTS

 

[Madison]

70 Lithuania
60 Belgium

 

[Suomi]

I LIKE this! It didn't do well?

It comes 12th, which I think is a fair bit below where it deserves

 

[Soldi]

Welcome @Soldi btw, didn’t realise you were new. Thought you were done euro Queen I hadn’t heard of. Where ON EARTH did you find us?

Searching something Eurovision related (obviously) a few months back, spent time reading some threads (I pissed at the whole SuRie Pizza Express thing ) and eventually got round to signing up

 

[Dark Carnival]

btw I'm too drunk/on ket to be giving out actual points

 

[Lucille]

Oh fuck that.

 

[ButterTart]

The contestants have been quite GLASSY-EYED so far. "Thank you, Europe. I'm so [EMOTION OTHER THAN RAGE] to be here tonight."

 

[win_the_game]

Yay Spain! I love this.

 

[Dark Carnival]

It comes 12th, which I think is a fair bit below where it deserves

I have no idea how this show is going to go but 12th seems about right

 

[win_the_game]

A vision of technicolor wonder.

 

[ButterTart]

Are you actually on ket? Does Ron know?

I'll have the one will the egg please.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg at Spain's dress!

 

[Lucille]

The dress was a... choice.

 

[Dark Carnival]

!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The STATE of Spain.

 

[Madison]

Her bra is threatening to escape.

 

[ButterTart]

I quite like this song. I'm a sucker for a woman who dresses like a packet of Refreshers.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Are you actually on ket? Does Ron know?

I definitely did a line! hi @big ron

 

[Lucille]

Her bra is threatening to escape.

Yeah what are those mischievous little red titties?!?

 

[Dark Carnival]

the dress is the most interesting thing about spain

 

[PopLife]

She’s basically wearing a Pride flag

 

[ButterTart]

I definitely did a line! hi @big ron

I think he may sue you for copyright infringement.

 

[Lucille]

I could not deal with this on ket.

 

[Suomi]

I like to pretend she’s singing at her designer

 

[Dark Carnival]

She’s basically wearing a Pride flag

Oh

 

[VoR]

It comes 12th, which I think is a fair bit below where it deserves

It did gain lasting fame as the theme tune from Jonathan Creek though.

 

[ButterTart]

She does have the look of a Christian who goes into schools and performs plays about the dangers of sex.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I could not deal with this on ket.

it's only way I CAN!!

 

[Madison]

70 Lithuania
60 Belgium
20 Spain

 

[Madison]

Don’t forget to deduct a third off Croatia’s points for cheating.

 

[Dark Carnival]

what the fucks is going on?

 

[Soldi]

Oh yes Croatia
