[Zu]

I cannot be bothered scoring everything but

1 Spain
2 France
3 Slovenia

What sort of self-respecting Eurovisionista presents their marks like THAT? I’m reporting you to the Wiwibloggs girls THIS INSTANT!

[Madison]

Oh, is that Brian Kennedy?

 

[lolly]

Is this the one who supposedly has been fucking Michael Ball for years?

 

[Lucille]

[Raining on Me]

That was a truly terrible year and the highs are nowhere near as tantalizing as CERTAIN FOLK would lead you to believe.

I'm going to explore Israel again tomorrow if I can be arsed because it's quite gutting not to feel such a euphoric heavenly transcendence that you all got from that "quite good" number

 

[Lucille]

Quite exciting that I have NO CLUE who wins but I’m quite sure it’ll be SOMEONE SHIT.

La France 1998!

OMG if you don't even get lyrics from obscure Eurovision entries do you even go HERE?

 

[COB]

In a break from tradition, I'm voting in this one:

12 Greece
10 Croatia
08 Norway
07 Portugal
06 Spain
05 France
04 Sweden
03 Turkey
02 United Kingdom
01 Malta

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm going to listen to Denmark AGAIN AND AGAIN.

 

[lolly]

This woman has shit hair and dresses

 

[dmlaw]

There were an awful of of absolute horrors, but there were somewhere between eight and twelve worthwhile songs.

 

[Soldi]

Live from SATELLITE

 

[Dark Carnival]

La France 1998!

Something's wrong with the "Je n'as" part!

 

[Suomi]

I'm going to listen to Denmark AGAIN AND AGAIN.

that’s why these contests are always worth a watch - there’s always at least one TAKE HOME

 

[Lucille]

They're going to be banned from Kalavision aren't they!

Please can we all submit a MALE ONLY SHORTLIST!

 

[Penelope]

??

[AGinAg (37)]

Please can we all submit a MALE ONLY SHORTLIST!

YES WE MUST

 

[Penelope]

La France 1998!

No - the LYRICS ARE WRONG

 

[lolly]

Sorry guys, I think I'm going to have to sit out 1999.

Hopefully I can catch it when we do it the 11th time, next Thursday.

 

[win_the_game]

No - the LYRICS ARE WRONG

I was checking you were all paying attention.

 

[Penelope]

Something's wrong with the "Je n'as" part!

Tu n’as pas où aller!

sorry but that is entirely the wrong attitude - this is 25 years ago, it’s not going to be 25 Fuegos?

 

[Soldi]

I’ll dip in for the 1999 songs but can’t stay for the tantalising voting

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooooh the SHADE from Ireland!

 

[dmlaw]

Are we still planning to do A Song a For Europe 97, which I will stay for, before Eurovision 99, which I will not?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Tu n’as pas où aller!

MORE LIKE IT

 

[Soldi]

A TIE ALREADY, HOW EXCITING

 

[Zu]

Something's wrong with the "Je n'as" part!

Something’s wrong with the WHOLE THING!

 

[lolly]

Are we still planning to do A Song a For Europe 97, which I will stay for, before Eurovision 99, which I will not?

Oh yes, I'm still here for that

 

[Suomi]

La France 1998!

OMG if you don't even get lyrics from obscure Eurovision entries do you even go HERE?

in fairness, I have just realised that I have been singing the wrong lyrics for YEARS, always thinking it was first person singular. Now I look at the lyrics and see it was always singing second person.

Tu n'as pas où aller
Tu n'sais même pas où aller
Tu n'as pas où aller
Tu n'sais même pas où aller

I’m going to have to call my straight brother and alert him to my FOLLY

 

[Suomi]

Are we still planning to do A Song a For Europe 97, which I will stay for, before Eurovision 99, which I will not?

yes! Always stick to the timetable

 

[Penelope]

Guys should we do 2016 next lol

 

[Soldi]

Guys should we do 2016 next lol

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I have to say I really don't care for the ASFE rewatches.

 

[win_the_game]

There's no better fun than ORGANISED FUN.
