Eurovision Rewatch: 1995 Dublin (20:00 BST, 22/04)

[lolly]

GET ON WITH IT

This makes me want Terry's super quick launch into the 'action' in A Song For Europe

 

[Dark Carnival]

PEACE AT LAST!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This was the first one I recorded on our BRAND NEW VHS player. The old one had broke the month before and I BEGGED my mum to buy us one in advance of ESC 1995, and we got it THAT day.

I hope she was still able to do the big shop.

 

[Penelope]

PEACE AT LAST!

Still THREE YEARS OFF MIND

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No love, still a few massive bombs to go.

 

[Penelope]

"In MUSIC AND SONG, the IRISH have ALWAYS been STORYTELLERS"

EVEN THE DUSKEYS?!

 

[COB]

Peace! And to think Mo Mowlam hadn't even been invented yet.

 

[Soldi]

Ah yes one year before ARNDALE SHE LIED

 

[lolly]

I hope she was still able to do the big shop.

I think RICKETS was a small price to pay

 

[Raining on Me]

I'm sure this has been answered before but when exactly did it go from quite a reserved, polite seated affair to a sea of standing SCREAMING OFF THEIR TITS gays and crazies? Was it gradual? How could it be?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Finally

 

[Penelope]

The honour FELL to Poland

 

[Madison]

Mary just took the stage?

We start the video exactly at 20:00:00. So all you have to do is look up the exact time: https://www.timeanddate.com/

 

[COB]

They sent the SEACAT to collect Poland

 

[Soldi]

Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia BALTIC COUNTRIES

 

[Penelope]

2000, when it was first hosted in an arena

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I heard this show triggered the end of the ceasefire.

 

[lolly]

did he just call Slovenia Baltic?

 

[win_the_game]

OMG the best Eurovision opener ever coming up.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Russia's first year?

 

[Madison]

What's the second shortest? Malmo to Copehagen?

Good shout. It must be.

 

[Kala]

Russia, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia were NOT competing for the first time, Terry! :Hitler:

 

[dmlaw]

So, Terry hadn't yet learned the difference between the Baltics and the Balkans.

 

[Penelope]

I heard this show triggered the end of the ceasefire.

The Polish song is actually THE SOUND of the end of the ceasefire

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG the best Eurovision opener ever coming up.

this better deliver!

 

[Penelope]

this better deliver!

YOU REALISE WHO YOU ARE REPLYING TO HERE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Its the sister from Fleabag.

 

[Dark Carnival]

That came out of nowhere

 

[lolly]

She has very Polish eyebrows

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What unpleasant music.

 

[COB]

Quite abrasive pipes.

 

[win_the_game]

YOU REALISE WHO YOU ARE REPLYING TO HERE

HUSH you bitch. This is nothing less than WONDERFUL

 

[dmlaw]

The Polish song is actually THE SOUND of the end of the ceasefire

I think a punishment shooting would have been less jarring than much of this.

 

[Dark Carnival]

WTF!

 

[ButterTart]

No @ButterTart for the start? I hope he hasn't been eaten by bears.

Sorry, Kala got wind of the fact I'm planning to send a male vocalist for round 2 of ASFM, and I've only just been released from hospital.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is quite... forward thinking?

 

[Soldi]

She reminds me of the scary screaming Croatian lady from a few weeks back

 

[Dark Carnival]

HUSH you bitch. This is nothing less than WONDERFUL

It REALLY isn't !

 

[Penelope]

FABULOUSLY unlistenable - and so VERY 90s

07 Poland

 

[Kala]

This really is a WEIRD song.
