Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[Lucille]

This was OK until the dubadubadum bit ruined it.

Omg I was living for the SCAT INTERMISSION.

 

[ButterTart]

"I have so many great memories", including that time she decided she would never speak of or acknowledge her participation ever again.

 

[Iguana]

Fuck off Bono

 

[octophone]

@octophone BAN HIM

No. Shut it or I'll ban you.

 

[Tisch]

God these introes GO ON A BIT

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The postcards are like a fever dream.

 

[COB]

A very restrained Celine there

You can still see the crazy in her eyes though

 

[Alla]

Oh Dinle!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Belly dancing and tit shaking?

 

[Beverley]

Is this TURKEY?

 

[VoR]

Such a big part of your life that you've NEVER MENTIONED IT SINCE Céline.

She talks about it quite a lot actually! She seems quite fond of wheeling out the story about how RENE ANGELIL (RIP) bet a fortune on her victory.

 

[ButterTart]

Boob rate is off to an absolutely roaring start so far.

 

[octophone]

10 for the balalaika already.

 

[Suomi]

Dinle is in my top 20 ever.

my favourite thing about it is the look of delighted surprise in Sebnem Paker’s eyes as she realises the audience are behind her

 

[Soldi]

a WHIFF OF THE SOUK

 

[Lucille]

Straight into a Turkish slut! Ticking the boxes for Lucille so far!

 

[COB]

Already in my top 2!

 

[VoR]

God what an amazing 1-2 punch of an opener!

This Turkish lady also opened 1996. You all remember her I'm sure.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No country names

 

[octophone]

Those belts were awful.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG WHAT IS THIS!!!

 

[Tisch]

BACK TO BACK BANGERZ

 

[Beverley]

GORGEOUS!

Proving once again why Turkey is ESSENTIAL to the contest!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg at the queen flailing in the background!

 

[ButterTart]

She looks like a relatively expensive prostitute.

 

[dmlaw]

Since we don't have Wogan, would anyone else like to suggest this has a whiff of the souk?

 

[Alla]

I just thought of @Dinlo, whatever happened to him?

 

[octophone]

Looks a bit like Myleene Klass, doesn't she?

 

[Beverley]

Serving Arabian Nights REALNESS

 

[D5K]

a WHIFF OF THE SOUK

This is amazing without Wogan isn’t it?

 

[Madison]

Christ, the Turks are going crazy on that YouTube chatbox.

 

[COB]

The dancing keyboard player!

 

[Iguana]

Straight into a Turkish slut! Ticking the boxes for Lucille so far!

Thank God you managed to tune in!

 

[ButterTart]

Since we don't have Wogan, would anyone else like to suggest this has a whiff of the souk?

Soldi just did!

 

[OutSynk]

She's HOT!

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG I LOVE THIS!!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Since we don't have Wogan, would anyone else like to suggest this has a whiff of the souk?

WHERE ARE THE BELLY DANCERS?

 

[Bumptious]

She looks totally surprised that she is turning out a Turkish BANGER

 

[Iguana]

Christ, the Turks are going crazy on that YouTube chatbox.

Saying WHAT?

 

[Tisch]

This is amazing without Wogan isn’t it?

Hadn't noticed! BUT YES
