Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[Lucille]

Oooooh it’s an orchestra year

 

[Soldi]

“The Home of Eurovision” - the absolute cheek! I hope when Belarus eventually win they use this line

More importantly SAN MARINO

 

[ButterTart]

No, don't casually try to lump Johnny Logan in with ABBA and Celine Dion. "Oh, they're all equally successful".

 

[Beverley]

Since I can't partake in the booze, I wanna know, what's everybody EATING?

I have a slice of homemade Leek, Taleggio and Walnut Tart

 

[Alla]

Was this the last ESC with live orchestra?

 

[Madison]

I wish they continued the trend of competent female presenters and male pop stars.

 

[Iguana]

Are they going to do it in THREE languages all night?

 

[Tisch]

Gaelic languages always sound like they're not quite finishing the words they're saying

 

[Suomi]

The Cypriot song is an unexpected BANGER

 

[Iguana]

Nice internet cafe

 

[VoR]

This is a very good opener BTW

 

[Dark Carnival]

Was this the last ESC with live orchestra?

[AGinAg (37)]

No, don't casually try to lump Johnny Logan in with ABBA and Celine Dion. "Oh, they're all equally successful".

Cod, new potatoes and VEG and now we have POPCORN.

 

[dmlaw]

The postcards seem fairly abstract this year.

 

[octophone]

These quasi-futuristic idents are a right pair of balls.

 

[OutSynk]

Are they going to do it in THREE languages all night?

Oh @Madison's going to love this.

 

[VoR]

No, don't casually try to lump Johnny Logan in with ABBA and Celine Dion. "Oh, they're all equally successful".

MASSIVE IN SERBIA

 

[D5K]

Oh no it looks like I'm okay and Suomi and VoR are just giving spoilers. Dum dada dum.

 

[Soldi]

Hang on you're on the opener? I must be 2 mins behind

How it’s a live stream

 

[Beverley]

I do think Greek is a very musical language

 

[VoR]

 

[Tisch]

[AGinAg (37)]

I see the first graduates from the Eugene Levy School of Dramatic Eyebrows went on to great things.

 

[Suomi]

I love a GROUP EFFORT
