[ButterTart]

Has @ButterTart nipped off for a wank over Barbara Dex and found it more of a challenge than he was expecting?

Spot on. It took half an hour just to mentally undress her.

I'm back just in time for young Patricia Kaas.

 

[COB]

Quite pleasant from Rosemary, well done!

POOR SAD BOSNIA NOW

The BOSNIAN song was written by Dino Merlin. He later went on to represent Bosnia in 1999 and 2011.

[Dark Carnival]

These scores are CORRECT.

We been knew

 

[Ellie]

I seem to remember they needed to dodge some bullets to make the plane over. They almost had to cancel or something.

 

[Penelope]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I ABSOLUTELY ADORE WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS WAR-TORN ANTHEM IN THE VOTING

 

[lolly]

It's a sultry pseudobanger

 

[Dark Carnival]

Didn’t someone say Finland were terrible this year? This is a joy!

Stop listening to these queens, they're wrong most of the time

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This woman's husband died in 1988 and she was so distraught that she gave up performing for four years.

So did I.

 

[Soldi]

This song better be worth ESCAPING THE WAR

 

[ButterTart]

I see the UK hasn't been on yet so I'm pleased I haven't missed anything.

That last postcard looked like a Crimewatch reconstruction of a backpacker murder.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG CHOREO

 

[Madison]

Are these the ones that kept telling their anecdote about escaping Sarajevo under gun fire?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

WHY SO GLUM HUN?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Os is he the one who escaped the BOMBS?

 

[Soldi]

Stop listening to these queens, they're wrong most of the time

A bit like when they vote in Song For Moopy

 

[Penelope]

I seem to remember they needed to dodge some bullets to make the plane over. They almost had to cancel or something.

They had to record the song on an emergency power generator provided by the UN!

 

[Kala]

This was RIGHT in the middle of the Balkan War, they wouldn't sign the ceasefire until the following year.

 

[Soldi]

Os is he the one who escaped the BOMBS?

Well he looks like he did

 

[D5K]

Finally a hot dance routine I can replicate

 

[Soldi]

Not BAD

 

[ButterTart]

This guy looks like he should be a sports reporter on local news. I do like the backing singers, though.

 

[Dark Carnival]

LIVING!!!

 

[VoR]

Are these the ones that kept telling their anecdote about escaping Sarajevo under gun fire?

No, that was Luxembourg

 

[Soldi]

LIVING!!!

Unlike most of Sarajevo I guess

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They had to record the song on an emergency power generator provided by the UN!

24 dead at the hospital for this 16th placed banger!

ALL WORTH IT

 

[Penelope]

No, that was Luxembourg

 

[Dark Carnival]

THE KNEE BENDING CHOREO!!!

Jemini told similar stories about Liverpool a decade later.
