omg Austria reminds me of a 90s song and I can't put my finger on it it's killing me!!

It's every 90's female guitar pop song rolled into one.

 

[Lucille]

It's all a bit bland. I don't think it's the fault of the contest so much as the fault of the 90s. Obviously Charlotte was spectacular and I liked Selma and Doris. All blurs into one otherwise.

Have some poppers love.

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is so 90s too

 

[Dark Carnival]

It's every 90's female guitar pop song rolled into one.

I KNOW

 

[Suomi]

omg Austria reminds me of a 90s song and I can't put my finger on it it's killing me!!

It kind of sounds like every 8th track on a 90s teen movie soundtrack

 

[ButterTart]

Give 1991 a watch. That'll do the trick.

Oh Christ. I think 2003 is my limit. Once the contest hit its absolute nadir with Marie N, it was rebuilt as something I was a bit more on-board with.

 

[Lucille]

It’s still be too 5 in 2010.

 

[PopLife]

omg Austria reminds me of a 90s song and I can't put my finger on it it's killing me!!

Something by Sheryl Crow probably...

 

[Soldi]

“BOBBY! BOBBY! BOBBY!”

 

[Suomi]

The next three songs are not quite THE TRIO but an enjoyable run nevertheless, with one being in my top twenty ever

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oooooh I forgot about skirts over jeans!!!

How could you, every girl who thought she was cool tried that at some point in the 90s!

 

[ButterTart]

Have some poppers love.

I'm still working my way through the heroin. I've to be up in a few hours so I don't want to overdo it.

 

[VoR]

Austria was QUITE CLEARLY the prototype for Emma Bunton's solo career.

 

[Dark Carnival]

It kind of sounds like every 8th track on a 90s teen movie soundtrack

which is why I love it

 

[win_the_game]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEENS!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Israel singing Happy Birthday?!

 

[Lucille]

I'm still working my way through the heroin. I've to be up in a few hours so I don't want to overdo it.

Heroins fine but im here to warn everyone that coke in quarantine is the worst idea I’ve ever had. DONT DO IT GIRLS.

 

[Madison]

These guys messed up a pleasing run of host countries coming second.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh sideways shit I remember this.

 

[win_the_game]

BRING IT TO ME NOW!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Fun for Europe

 

[Lucille]

I’m in such a high I’m not hating this.

 

[Madison]

Wouldn’t life be better if we all sang (all three minutes of) this at birthday parties instead of the current song.

With mandatory dance.

 

[ButterTart]

ISRAEL! What's this majestic load of shit? They should just have sent Rose West with a jazz number called 'We Don't Want To Win Again' and had done with it for all the subtlety they're showing.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Wouldn’t life be better if we all sang (all three minutes of) this at birthday parties instead of the current song.

nah

 

[PopLife]

Israeli Boyzone. This song is so catchy, but my god it’s naff.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I’m in such a high I’m not hating this.

it's shit love, I'm high too, but it's still shit

 

[Soldi]

Wouldn’t life be better if we all sang (all three minutes of) this at birthday parties instead of the current song.

With mandatory dance.

I don’t know what your taking love but it’s no All Out of Luck is it?

 

[Suomi]

This is sung with enough sincerity to be enjoyable

 

[Lucille]

Israeli Boyzone. This song is so catchy, but my god it’s naff.

Much like Keith Duffy’s HPV.

 

[Madison]

I don’t know what your taking love but it’s no All Out of Luck is it?

But All Out of Luck isn’t about birthdays. It would be INAPPROPRIATE at a kids party.

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg Malta!

 

[Lucille]

Oh god is this good I can’t even tell anymore.

 

[win_the_game]

I loved this at the time.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The JOY NEVER STOPS

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg is this every 90s shit girlband?!

 

[Madison]

omg Malta!

This is the first time in history this phrase has been used.

 

[Suomi]

But All Out of Luck isn’t about birthdays. It would be INAPPROPRIATE at a kids party.

depends how bad the birthday is

 

[PopLife]

Happy Birthday has patriotic undertones in the lyrics. It’s why it’s still played on birthday parties in Israel even now. I guess kids there don’t even know it’s an ESC song...

 

[Lucille]

LIVING.
