Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[Tisch]

BONNIE AND TYLER

 

[COB]

@OutSynk first of all you little bitch

 

[ButterTart]

Does she live to see the end of the song? Time will tell

Let's hope not.

 

[Alla]

I can't believe how old @Alla is.

Bitch, please!

 

[VoR]

Love the moment near the end of this where Alla just laughs at what a drunken mess she is.

 

[Beverley]

Sounds like a WORKER'S ANTHEM made up down the KHOLKHOZ

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ok the wig was the most exciting thing about this.

 

[Suomi]

This is actually one of Russia’s biggest stars. Several facelifts later you might recognise her as ALSOU

 

[D5K]

Hang on, she’s named after that 09 melfest song too?!

 

[Madison]

I've seen her on Russian TV loads of times.

 

[octophone]

Mutton dressed as Spam.

 

[Tisch]

I need a banger soon

 

[dmlaw]

Russia really didn't get it yet. I'm half expecting Yeltsin to shuffle on drunk and try to feel her up.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Gosh I thought for a second there she was going to do a wig reveal!

 

[ButterTart]

I've been trying to work out who she looks like... it's fucking Margarita Pracatan.

 

[Beverley]

THAT SULTRY HAIR TEASE

 

[Lucille]

Finally they’ve finished! I’ve been too embarrassed to write down my scores in front of them!

!

 

[Dark Carnival]

THE LAUGH!

 

[ButterTart]

Russia really didn't get it yet. I'm half expecting Yeltsin to shuffle on drunk and try to feel her up.

And he would still only be the second most embarrassing person on stage.

 

[Madison]

Why did the crowd go crazy?

 

[OutSynk]

0/19

 

[Lucille]

QUEEN

 

[COB]

Her to win!

 

[Alla]

BRAVA!!

 

[Suomi]

A very Regal effort there from Russia, I will give that SIX

 

[D5K]

I enjoyed that

 

[octophone]

Why did the crowd go crazy?

Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[Alla]

Oh Julio! Too much sun dear, terrible skin.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She was VERY PLEASURABLE

 

[dmlaw]

Why did the crowd go crazy?

They were pleased she was nearly finished.

 

[Alla]

Love the moment near the end of this where Alla just laughs at what a drunken mess she is.

 

[Beverley]

A postcard AND a talking head?!

 

[Madison]

@Alla had twins (via a surrogate) in 2011 aged 62.

 

[D5K]

I have no idea how far through we are

 

[ButterTart]

This 8% cider is fucking RANCID, but I'm having trouble typing so it's doing its job admirably.

 

[COB]

Holy shit!

 

[Soldi]

Oh what a load of SHIT

 

[VoR]

Ah, the Danish DJ Daz Sampson

 

[D5K]

OH WOW

 

[AGinAg (37)]

WHAT IS HAPPENING?
