[Soldi]

I DOUBT IT.

1999

 

[dmlaw]

I can think of several songs that would have been more deserving of having their microphones unplugged.

 

[ButterTart]

He's actually the first one tonight with anything approaching charisma.

 

[Madison]

 

[Penelope]

We learned a Tomas Ledin song in my Swedish evening class once. Sadly it wasn’t “Just nu!”.

 

[Penelope]

Was 1991 the last time they let a non-English speaking host nation so recklessly soil the contest with their own language?

 

[Lucille]

I think I may have to stop scoring, there’s only SO many SIXES I can give. To think 82 was WALL TO WALL JAMS.

 

[Penelope]

It's JACKIE COX!

 

[Lucille]

It's JACKIE COX!

 

[ButterTart]

She's got enough teeth to go around, hasn't she?

 

[Suomi]

We learned a Tomas Ledin song in my Swedish evening class once. Sadly it wasn’t “Just nu!”.

was it “Sommaren är kort“?

 

[Penelope]

OMG @Suomi tune in, we're 43 minutes in

 

[Penelope]

Not HATING THIS

 

[lolly]

How long have we had the six people on stage rule?

 

[Madison]

was it “Sommaren är kort“?

It was!

 

[ButterTart]

We learned a Tomas Ledin song in my Swedish evening class once. Sadly it wasn’t “Just nu!”.

Tomas Ledin. That was THE MrLedin?

 

[lolly]

Tomas Ledin. That was THE MrLedin?

OMG YES

 

[dmlaw]

Maybe I'm becoming institutionalised but this is actually quite jaunty.

 

[Penelope]

How long have we had the six people on stage rule?

Actually only since 2007, after the Tapas Seven had to ruin things.

 

[Lucille]

This was the sexiest song ever recorded until Pull up to the Bumper was released a YEAR LATER.

Are you referring to her buoyant hair? If so, I tend to agree.

 

[Madison]

Best legs in pop until Jamelia

 

[dmlaw]

First evidence of the existence of tits in this year's contest. Ironic given that they are performing in front of a giant vagina.

From the neck down she was the best of the night. If only because she was the first woman to come on stage not wearing the entire contents of Dunelm.
