Eurovision Midweek Rewatch: Millstreet, 1993 (2000 BST 06.05.20)

[COB]

OMG Sebalter STOLE THE IDEA OF WHISTLING

 

[Madison]

The lyrics to this one are lovely - it’s a bedtime lullaby to his kid.

 

[Kala]

This is sweet, but even for Eurovision in 1993 this was HIDEOUSLY old-fashioned!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

He died AT A THEME PARK

 

[lolly]

Clearly a kiddiefiddler

 

[Tisch]

I feel I may have overranked some of the songs at the start

 

[lolly]

He died AT A THEME PARK

NONCING

 

[Penelope]

Tell us more!

He was a successful artist beforehand and the result for this was seen as him bringing shame onto his name and Denmark. He developed a terrible alcoholism as a result and then died a few years later. ENTIRELY FUCKING UNDESERVED

 

[Lucille]

Anyone else loving this year so far

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I like this.

Rasmus Seebach, who is rather famous these days.

Did you give them all 2?

 

[Tisch]

From the top it looked like Victoria Wood was on drums.

We are currently discussing if it's a hot twink or a lesbian. The camera just won't show him/her!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've heard of him.

Leonora should take a leaf out of his book. Except she should die quicker.
