Eurovision DRUNK rewatch - Birmingham 1998 - 09/05 23.45

[Tisch]

I did stumble into their after party wrecked last year after getting lost trying to find a sauna. I don’t remember much except having a conversation with his wife at the bar and her looking at me HORRIFIED.

Oh god I think I sort of remember this story

Saunas. Remember that memory?

I would kill to go one right now

Loving the hi-tech star wipes. @Alla needs to get in there and sort out this editing.

 

[Lucille]

Is this necklace LA CROIX?

 

[Alla]

Eh? (I'm not watching)

 

[ButterTart]

Is this necklace LA CROIX?

I think it's La Claire's Accessories.

 

[Tisch]

Is this necklace LA CROIX?

No Le Creuset

 

[dmlaw]

Don't mind the Romanian entry, although it does seem to be another one that's being performed by Jack Bauer's wife.

 

[ButterTart]

Eh? (I'm not watching)

The editing techniques they're using are a bit... twee.

 

[Tisch]

As @Ag's not here I'll do it

Fun fact: Romania lady later died from suicide!

 

[win_the_game]

This is the one that topped herself isnt it.

 

[Lucille]

Oh god I think I sort of remember this story

Saunas. Remember that memory?

I would kill to go one right now

I never made it! It wasn’t my finest night!

 

[win_the_game]

There's a whiff of Sarah Lancashire with Lisa Stansfield hair about Ms Romania.

 

[Lucille]

I think I actually prefer this to Diva...

 

[dmlaw]

As @Ag's not here I'll do it

Fun fact: Romania lady later died from suicide!

That's sad. If one of these entries had to be dead, it should have been Guildo.

 

[Tisch]

I never made it! It wasn’t my finest night!

But you DID! :thumbs up:

I once was very EXTENSIVELY questioned of I'd had drugs despite never done them in my life so god knows how I seemed

 

[Lucille]

The live strings with this are GLORIOUS.

 

[Tisch]

Spoiler alert: this entry is so fab

 

[ButterTart]

Fun fact: The UK should have won twice in a row because this is cool as fuck and shits on everything else this year.

 

[Tisch]

I think I actually prefer this to Diva...

DRUNK!

 

[dmlaw]

Eastern Europe must have had a hell of a time deciding whether they disapproved of a black performer or a trans performer more.

 

[Tisch]

I think I actually prefer this to Diva...

No ignore me I thought you were still on Romania (RIP)

 

[Lucille]

That ROPEY LOOKING SALAD!

 

[Lucille]

No ignore me I thought you were still on Romania (RIP)

DRUNK!

 

[ButterTart]

Born Slippy! Fuck the contest, can we just listen to the postcards?

 

[Lucille]

I have no time for twink Voldemort.

I do wonder how Eden would've done this year. I assume she was headed for a non qual as the song was pretty average but I can't help but think that a black Jewish girl might have not exactly lit up the switchboard

 

[ButterTart]

That whistle thing really wasn't an appropriate noise for such a late hour.

 

[Tisch]

I would make an exception and attempt to TOP mr Cyprus

What a CUTE FACE

 

[ButterTart]

Microphone botch. Luckily there was no song to ruin.

 

[dmlaw]

Born Slippy! Fuck the contest, can we just listen to the postcards?

Yes. This. I would rather listen to Underworld recorded off the chart show onto a shitty cassette over this Cypriot thing.

 

[Tisch]

DRUNK!

TOUCHÉ

 

[Lucille]

I would make an exception and attempt to TOP mr Cyprus

What a CUTE FACE

Omg it’s the first time I’ve NOT fancied a guy from Cyprus.

 

[ButterTart]

The temerity of someone who could perform a love letter to Phil Collins and still expect points for it.

 

[Tisch]

Edsilia and her ARMS!!

 

[Lucille]

This is such an EMPOWERING ANTHEM.

 

[Lucille]

Wonderful string section again, I really wish Diva used the orchestra more.

 

[ButterTart]

Ooh, Echidna Wombley. Forgot she was in it.

 

[dmlaw]

Edsilia was due to host this years contest before the unfortunate events. She also looks much younger in her Wikipedia photo from 2009 than she does in this performance.

 

[Tisch]

Omg it’s the first time I’ve NOT fancied a guy from Cyprus.

 

[Lucille]

TOUCHÉ.
