A rewatch TIMETABLE

[Dark Carnival]

17 hours long usually, right?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Sounds great - I assume it is freely available outside of Finland?

Yes, whole show is on YouTube and as far as I know works all parts of the world:

 

[lolly]

I can't believe you fuckers are making me actually TALK TO MR L rather than shitpost here

 

[lolly]

72 isn't a vintage year. Unless lockdown extends to 2021, I don't think we need concern ourselves with it.

 

[Soldi]

San Remo I could totally get on board with!

Better than MELODIFESTIVALEN

 

[ButterTart]

Better than MELODIFESTIVALEN

It's times like this I wish technology allowed us to punch people through a computer screen.

 

[Mats]

How long before this descends into Lithuanian national final rewatch?

it would *have* to be the year Happy You won

 

[Alla]

I'll confirm tomorrow but I probably have to push AllaFestivalen for next week I have material for 3 or 4 allafestivalens, but I need to cut it down to 2 hours. Still ripping dvds.

 

[lolly]

No worries, we've got enough options to play around with until you're ready.

 

[lolly]

And goodness, I do hope that nobody is bored enough to suggest something off the ideas list for tonight.

I can't imagine how I'd cope.

 

[Suomi]

I'm moved Alla-festivalen to the list of ideas, and left a space for a suggestion for after Eurovision 1995 tomorrow.

You will all note that Eurovision 2001 is on the ideas list and not on the main - it is a particularly poor year that I'm not sure where to place really. The first 6 songs are the worst run ever in my opinion.

 

[win_the_game]

All of this years FESTIVAL DI SANREMO episodes from START to FINISH

I’ll second this.

What?? The first three were decent. I’d even go as far to say Bosnia were great if you’re into moody ethnic beats.

Wed 13th May - main event: 2007 semi final followed by 2007 final

Holy mother of God

 

[VoR]

I love Hano and Out On My Own from 2001's opening salvo.

Also it's the year of Natasha St. Pier

Say Lolly, I’ve had a thought - why don’t we all watch something off the ideas list tonight? Your choice.

 

[Alla]

I thought we said we would move The Great British Song Contest 1997 one week forward (that's tomorrow) and then I can do Allafestivalen next week.

And leather queen Nusa. And the debut of PAPARIZOU

Oh I hear you - my mid-teens were spent alone in my room with that 2001 CD, but did you see what these people did with 2002?

 

[Suomi]

I have swapped Alla-festivalen and The Great British Song Contest 1997 round in weeks

 

[win_the_game]

Should we maybe add a couple of the decent semi finals to the list of after shows/drunken rewatches?

Obviously the years of particular historical gay interest e.g. Agurbash 2005.

 

[win_the_game]

The 2000 late night rewatch was a three queen riot but could probably be re-run for a wider audience.

I mean Ping Pong - Be Happy will still be the original rewatch winner from that year but there’s no harm in watching again.

 

[VoR]

I'm really intrigued to see how 1995 goes down tomorrow.

For one thing I would imagine a lot of first time viewers will have absolutely no idea what wins (and I suggest we try to keep it that way!)

 

[Dark Carnival]

DRUNK REWATCH!

 

[Alla]

I know the 1995 winner (well most of them really) but it's so much fun when you know nothing about it, lucky you those who have no idea!

 

[Alla]

But I guess even @Soldi must know?

 

[Soldi]

UNKNOWN TO ME

 

[Alla]

So jealouz!

 

[ButterTart]

But I guess even @Soldi must know?

I’d have thought so, I have an awareness of things that happened 24 years before I was born so I assume the same is true for him.

 

[Lucille]

I missed the HORROR of the 96 rewatch so it’s new to me as well

 

[Soldi]

I think 96 was on the night I joined, I don’t remember anything other than that is was a HORROR SHOW

 

[Zu]

Oh AS IF the 1995 winner isn’t blindingly obvious

 

[ButterTart]

Oh AS IF the 1995 winner isn’t blindingly obvious

In fairness I thought Helen Worth beatboxing for Lebanon was quite surprising as winners go.

 

[Zu]

That was Diane Keen and WELL YOU KNOW IT!

 

[Dark Carnival]

NO SPOILERS, please!

 

[Lucille]

They’ll be CONSEQUENCES

 

[Soldi]

In fairness I thought Helen Worth beatboxing for Lebanon was quite surprising as winners go.

Wait did Lebanon ever ENTER? I’ve certainly not noticed them in RECENT YEARS if that’s the case.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Nearly did in 2005

 

[Alla]

Wait did Lebanon ever ENTER? I’ve certainly not noticed them in RECENT YEARS if that’s the case.

You'll have to wait, no spoilers.

 

[VoR]

Lebanon's withdrawn entry from 2005 would have done really well I think
