[lolly]

I think I'll just stick it on as a distraction on the tablet and half watch

 

[Madison]

They are allowed six people - was Ruth Jacott busy?

 

[dmlaw]

You've got to love the reverse ordering of star wattage on the talking head celebrities.

CELINE! HALF OF ABBA! JOHNNY LOGAN! BOBBYSOCKS!

Later on in the show they interview the rest of Abba and Agnetha says, 'if you don't get off my fucking island right now I'm going to release the fucking dogs.'

 

[Beverley]

[VoR]

I think I might have underestimated this year y'know...

 

[Dark Carnival]

This was the last Italian entry for 14 years.

[Soldi]

This next song was what got me into MUSICA ITALIANA, it’s fucking brilliant and I won’t hear a word said against it

 

[Tisch]

This is how legendary girlband Vanilla (No way no way) would look and sound today.

That WAS vanilla. One of them passed away shortly after the contest.

 

[D5K]

I think I might have underestimated this year y'know...

I don’t have much idea of what’s coming up and I love it

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooooh Italy!

 

[ButterTart]

This was the last Italian entry for 14 years.

15 if you correctly pretend that war crime in 2011 never happened.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Was this the last year before they fucked off?

 

[Alla]

I don't remember what we sent this year, and that's not a good sign, I'm scared.

 

[octophone]

2 seconds in and they're out of words.

 

[ButterTart]

Hello Italy, and welcome to boob rate.

 

[Suomi]

“Fiumi Di Parole” is one of the greatest Eurovision songs ever

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh this IS LOVELY.

 

[Tisch]

It's CAROL VORDERMAN

 

[Alla]

This Italian Sophie Ellis Bextor looks great.

 

[Iguana]

Loving Italy

 

[OutSynk]

Finally something decent and she looks lovely.

 

[D5K]

This was the last Italian entry for 14 years.

And they’d quit for a little while before this hadn’t they? Wonder why they came back for this one.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Nice that Anna Ford was able to take time out of news reading.

 

[Tisch]

This is GREAT

 

[dmlaw]

This thing has even fewer male vocals than 'A Song For Moopy'.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Why did they fuck off again?

 

[Iguana]

The guitarist might get it

 

[Madison]

FACT: The singer and guitarist were fucking.

 

[VoR]

She really has a look of Madonna before the surgeries took their toll, doesn't she?

 

[Lucille]

 

[Soldi]

And they’d quit for a little while before this hadn’t they? Wonder why they came back for this one.

Europe couldn’t resist the tantalising sounds of JALISSE

 

[Dark Carnival]

This thing has even fewer male vocals than 'A Song For Moopy'.

 

[win_the_game]

He has really aged.

 

[Madison]

She has a voice like Sissel.
