Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[Beverley]

She looks like a relatively expensive prostitute.

At least fifty quid

 

[D5K]

This doesn’t do much for me.

 

[Iguana]

She seems to have given up a bit

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[Tisch]

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

Welcome back Bumptious!

 

[ButterTart]

She looks like a relatively expensive prostitute.

And look how wide she can open her mouth. She'd be coining it in.

 

[Dark Carnival]

[Lucille]

Most of the audience look like they’re being FORCED to attend.

 

[Madison]

Şebnem Paker is a school teacher these days.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Seriously! Douze points Turkey!

 

[ButterTart]

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

Dead, sadly. Went to visit the mass grave of the 1981 contestants and was struck by a meteorite.

 

[octophone]

Anyone shaming sex workers gets banned.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Norway now. This is AMAZING.

 

[Suomi]

[Soldi]

1980 was the year of death love

 

[VoR]

This is a bit of a dip in quality I'm afraid...

 

[Dark Carnival]

you really shouldn't miss the country name in the beginning indeed!

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is a bit of a dip in quality I'm afraid...

Guy with guitar...

 

[Iguana]

Is it me or is the audience quite restrained?

 

[Lucille]

The set keeps getting UGLIER SOME HOW!

 

[Tisch]

I keep looking at my phone admittedly, but I feel like the country names aren't coming up. Or for long enough at least. (Sorry for being negative)

 

[COB]

This is shit!

 

[octophone]

Why are Norway doing a song called San Francisco for a European context?

 

[Alla]

Those shirts, my god.

 

[Madison]

Minus points for inserting English phrases.

 

[ButterTart]

1980 was the year of death love

Oh that was the warm up. 1981 was basically a televised POGROM.

 

[dmlaw]

Well that came crashing back to Earth.

 

[win_the_game]

Well Norway clearly didn't want to win again after 1996.

 

[Alla]

He looks like your local paedo.

 

[D5K]

Hopefully this stream will have a recap. Was there televoting back in 1997?

 

[octophone]

TONIGHT AT BUTLINS: A TRIBUTE TO

TED ROBINS

 

[Tisch]

BACK TO BACK TO BACK BANGERZ. Who'll be the first to interrupt this FLOW

 

[ButterTart]

I feel like I should be liking this, but I just can't.
