[Suomi]

Screaming at the backing singer too hideous to have her face revealed

 

[Lucille]

What happened to Pen is he passed out in his own sick?

 

[win_the_game]

Are this lot in WITNESS PROTECTION?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What THRILLING LIGHTING

 

[ButterTart]

I'm rather enjoying the Cypriot song. I know I probably shouldn't.

I lost a hero tonight.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG WHAT IS THIS

 

[Soldi]

How DREARY

 

[Raining on Me]

This looks like they're waiting to KILL ME

 

[Dark Carnival]

I can't believe there's only a year between this and 1983

 

[VoR]

Those backing singers are legit freaking me out

 

[dmlaw]

What happened to Pen is he passed out in his own sick?

He's watching 1999 on his own.

 

[ButterTart]

Are this lot in WITNESS PROTECTION?

They all look like teenage runaways inducted into his cult. Especially the blonde one.

 

[lolly]

This man is THIRTY SIX

 

[COB]

Wait, Sinitta AND Hazell lost to that UK entry? What sort of turds must they have trotted out for god's sake?!

 

[Madison]

[ZenGiraffe]

As it stands, getting a top ten for this contest is out of the question. A top three will be a struggle enough.

 

[Soldi]

I can't believe there's only a year between this and 1983

It’s like an alternate timeline when the Cold War turned into nuclear war.

 

[Dark Carnival]

He's watching 1999 on his own.

JEALOUS!

[VoR]

This is so the last thing you see at the Scientology centre before somebody sticks a chloroform-soaked rag over your nose and mouth.

 

[dmlaw]

Those backing singers are legit freaking me out

There aren't any backing singers. He's on stage on his own. Can you see backing singers?

 

[win_the_game]

Wait, Sinitta AND Hazell lost to that UK entry? What sort of turds must they have trotted out for god's sake?!

We definitely need to watch ASFE '84 at some point.

 

[lolly]

Wait, Sinitta AND Hazell lost to that UK entry? What sort of turds must they have trotted out for god's sake?!

I think Sinitta was the year before, wasn't she? Hazell was several years previously, when Martina Navratilova was on the cusp of inventing lesbianism.
