Eurovision Rewatch: A Song For Europe 1991(21:30 BST 21/04)

[Lucille]

I am low key loving this west end number.

 

[Dark Carnival]

That vain popping from her neck!

 

[lolly]

This woman clearly played Mary Magdalene once in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar in the early 80s in Bedford, and has been dining out on it ever since.

 

[Raining on Me]

Although this is entirely shit so far, I do mourn the loss of these shows. When did it stop? Was it the big fat zero in 2003 that prompted us to flap about for any old way to find a song thereafter?

 

[ButterTart]

Well, that was fucking vile.

 

[Alla]

There were TWO fan clubs back then, OGAE UK which is still going, and Eurovision Network which ended in the late 90s. I didn't join either until 1993 though. They had conventions and everything back then, not much has really changed.

The quarterly magazines was how I got my Eurovision news back in the day!

Hard to imagine how that worked before internet.

 

[dmlaw]

The whole show is very office karaoke. 'Are you going to give us a number, Julie? Malcolm did one earlier and it went very well.'

 

[Lucille]

ROAMING PIGEONS

WITH MANGY FEET.

 

[Lucille]

I am low key loving this west end number.

Sorry obvious Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[Lucille]

I think this is Terry at his worst, he wasn’t even this bad in the 00s.

 

[ButterTart]

Brendan Fey!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh my

 

[Soldi]

Oh a MAN and a GUITAR. This will go down a TREAT

 

[lolly]

What a SMALL MOUTH

 

[Alla]

OH DEAR

 

[win_the_game]

Good lord at this one

 

[Lucille]

Hair has come A LONG WAY hasn’t it.

 

[Kala]

This REALLY is not a classic Song For Europe year, is it?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh a MAN and a GUITAR. This will go down a TREAT

Well at least the first one had the decency of having a BULGE

 

[lolly]

does he have any teeth?

 

[Soldi]

What a huge step down from the terrifying delights ten years earlier What were the first two songs like?

 

[Alla]

The best part so far is the SPEED of this show.

 

[ButterTart]

I wish they could have found him a taller stool, you can just about see his feet dangling through the skylight.

 

[Kala]

I do love that STAIRCASE that doesn't go anywhere though!

 

[lolly]

I'd rather fuck that trombonist

 

[Dark Carnival]

This REALLY is not a classic Song For Europe year, is it?

We're listening to that last song, I'm yet to hear a single song I like.

 

[dmlaw]

We never had a fucking chance, did we?

 

[Raining on Me]

Where is this HOT PIECE lolly promised us?

Was that a lie or was that Christy Croydon?

 

[Lucille]

What a huge step down from the terrifying delights ten years earlier What were the first two songs like?

BANGERS.

 

[Alla]

does he have any teeth?

In the dressing room.

 

[lolly]

What a huge step down from the terrifying delights ten years earlier What were the first two songs like?

The first wasn't bad (relatively) and had a hot lead singer.

The second was bad and didn't

 

[win_the_game]

I do love that STAIRCASE that doesn't go anywhere though!

The stage is rather GLITZY for A Song For Europe is it not.

 

[Kala]

The winner was BLINDINGLY obvious though, right?

 

[ButterTart]

does he have any teeth?

He does look like a really nasty old woman.

 

[Zu]

This REALLY is not a classic Song For Europe year, is it?

Were there any EVER?

Well apart from the Sonia year OBVIOUSLY

 

[Alla]

Where is this HOT PIECE lolly promised us?

The first one, I guess.

 

[Soldi]

“That’s the height of it I’m afraid “

 

[win_the_game]

Is it voting time?

COME ON JOANNE! BRING IT HOME FOR CROYDON!

 

[Alla]

Did he say East Anglia? Isn't that abroad?

 

[Dark Carnival]

The winner was BLINDINGLY obvious though, right?

Kind of, but that's not saying MUCH really.
