Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[octophone]

She's old and young all at once.

That's the French for you. Born with a Camus novel in her left hand and a lit Gauloises in her right.

 

[VoR]

I do think Fanny very probably drowned her baby sister in a pond and claimed it was an accident though...

 

[Dark Carnival]

FANNY has an instagram but is yet to post a single photo

WHAT??!!

 

[Alla]

She scared me a bit.

 

[ButterTart]

If there's grass on the pitch...

Politely decline because she's still French and there's a war on?

I've just checked with Indie, the word fanny has been used on Moopy more times in the last three minutes than it has in the last sixteen years.

Nowhere near as much as CUNT then

 

[OutSynk]

FANNY 9/10

 

[Lucille]

Interestingly, Fanny is the first non-French speaker to represent France. She is literally making up French inflections as she goes along

What’s her native tongue?

 

[COB]

Loved the tribute act THE SPICY GIRLS for Croatia.

 

[win_the_game]

OMG the original XXL.

 

[Iguana]

OH MY GOD

 

[Dark Carnival]

SPICE GIRLS!!

 

[octophone]

Sorry, have we switched to CBEEBIES?

 

[OutSynk]

The Power Rangers look good.

 

[Dark Carnival]

DOUZE

 

[Alla]

OMG

 

[Iguana]

Is this Rita's band?

 

[Suomi]

This is my soundtrack as I login to check my Moopyrate position

 

[Tisch]

SPICE GIRLS!!

YOU FUCKING WHAT. Don't shit on our culture please

 

[dmlaw]

Wikipedia reveals that Fanny had a second album but 'it's success was confidential'.

 

[Madison]

It's disappointing that so few countries were inspired by Gina G the year before.

 

[ButterTart]

I like how they all took it in turns to bob, like they only had one machine for controlling their knees that they had to pass round.

 

[win_the_game]

Loved the tribute act THE SPICY GIRLS for Croatia.

Shame they've more in common with VANILLA.

 

[VoR]

VoR FUN FACT: This perky Croatian song is about shooting Bosniaks and burying them in mass graves.

Alma was most annoyed in the green room.

 

[Alla]

TENS ACROSS THE BOARD.

 

[lolly]

Was colourblindness more prevalent as we approached the end of the last millennium?

 

[dmlaw]

It's a really ropey Spice Girls. It's the Spice Girls.

 

[Beverley]

Loved the tribute act THE SPICY GIRLS for Croatia.

The influences are SO obvious

 

[Soldi]

Well you wouldn’t lose THEM in a car park!

 

[octophone]

I like how they all took it in turns to bob, like they only had one machine for controlling their knees that they had to pass round.

 

[D5K]

This year really was front-loaded wasn’t it?

 

[Madison]

Was colourblindness more prevalent as we approached the end of the last millennium?

Reported.

 

[Alla]

Shame they've more in common with VANILLA.

Powerful vocals, I know

 

[Beverley]

I like the one who sings in muted whisper register

 

[octophone]

The age range on that stage is at least 15 years, if not 20.

 

[Dark Carnival]

It's a really ropey Spice Girls. It's the Spice Girls.

FUCK OFF!

 

[Tisch]

Shame they've more in common with VANILLA.

Can't believe Vanilla won 97 Eurovision TWICE

 

[win_the_game]

The Sporty one looks AWKWARD AS HELL. Almost as if she's never performed on a stage before.

 

[Bumptious]

Do do do....shame they can’t sing.
