What the fuck was that Latvian thing. Why wasn't I warned?

Consider yourself lucky. We had to watch the whole thing.

Did people think Lordi would win going in to this? It’s hard to imagine any other song winning.

 

[ButterTart]

I fucking missed Sidsel as well. Stupid delicious pizza distracting me.

 

[ButterTart]

I would put Tornero in my top ten Eurovision songs of all time, and I think I'd be correct in doing so.

I'm sure they were the favourites. Although maybe Anna Vissi was at some point too?

I believe Sweden were the bookies favourites.

Some Eurovision loons were convinced Carola would win this. For the rest of the world, Lordi, yes.

 

[Beverley]

Love Mambo

 

[Madison]

Are some of you voting without watching the show?

 

[D5K]

I asked for 'Mambo' on some radio station once. They insisted I record a clip asking for something different (I forget what) and I dedicated it to Moopy.

I don't remember. In retrospect, it's a super strong year with no OBVIOUS winners, Lordi aside IMHO

 

[dmlaw]

Well, this Helena song cetainly bears no resemblance to her other one.

 

[D5K]

Are some of you voting without watching the show?

I thought that's why you posted the Eurovision Again link

 

[VoR]

HEY! HEY! HEY! I FEEL THE MAMBO-EIYAH!

Helena's first two English albums are packed with nonsense bangers like this...

Only if @COBby cobnuts comes too, and @Alex and @VoR

 

[ButterTart]

Very daring of the hosts to work without an autocue, rehearsal or ever having met each other before.

Oh I was absolutely desperate for Queen Carol to win and didn’t consider that anyone else had the slightest chance, so pretended Lordi didn’t exist

Is this a GREEK WICKER MAN

Since I assume you accidentally posted that without finishing your list, I'd be delighted to join you.

Who invited OPUS DEI?

 

[Lucille]

@ButterTart @Lucille

Sorry love, I’m not a provincial queen. Call me when you make it to Zone 2. Xxx

 

[dmlaw]

Only if @COBby cobnuts comes too, and @Alex and @VoR

I'll come. I assume it will be held in a serious real ale pub.

 

[ButterTart]

No, it's Maria Menounos. She's been hosting it all night!

 

[Soldi]
