Eurovision Rewatch: 1997 18/04 (20.00 BST)

[Soldi]

Only 6 for Italy? I hope Turkey invades again

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When did the Greek or Cypriot vote first get booed?

 

[dmlaw]

I don't usually watch the voting - when are we starting A Song For Europe 1981?

Last night. We're watching actual Eurovision 1981 after this. You didn't miss much.

 

[Tisch]

I remember when he had a solo song out and some rabid fan called up that MTV request show and RANTED live in air to Donna Air about how he gets forgotten and how DISGUSTED she was by this

DONNA AIR

 

[D5K]

Terry “They need to do SOMETHING about this it’s JUST WRONG”

"Oh Turkey border Greece we all know where their 12 will go"

 

[Lucille]

Only 6 for Italy? I hope Turkey invades again

5 from Turkey!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When DID lovely flowers stop decorating desks?

 

[D5K]

Is anyone adding up the Moopy votes?

 

[Suomi]

The Turks have TASTE

 

[Soldi]

"Oh Turkey border Greece we all know where their 12 will go"

Just like how AZERJEBEN boarder SOUTH MACEDONIA

 

[Madison]

YAK SCHAMBLAH !

Oh.

Bollocks.

Ah well.....what time are we starting Eurovision 1981, then.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

EUROVISION IS QUITE GOOD

 

[Soldi]

5 from Turkey!

Give it back to the Greeks then

 

[COB]

This CREEP from Norway!

 

[D5K]

Were they watching a different Spanish performance from us?

 

[Tisch]

Scoreboard is QUITE sexy but I don't appreciate it not putting the leaders in place. 6/10

 

[ButterTart]

Oh, I forgot to rate the songs.

12: UK (Obviously)
10: Italy
08: Cyprus
07: Iceland (Was actually quite good in hindsight)
06: Spain
05: Turkey
04: Netherlands
03: Poland
02: Estonia
01: France

I remember NONE OF THEM and I just randomly allocated from 5 down.

 

[Soldi]

She’s fuming at only 3

 

[Tisch]

EUROVISION IS QUITE GOOD

 

[D5K]

She’s fuming at only 3

I love that!

 

[OutSynk]

I'm sorry was that Ireland you said?

 

[Lucille]

UK off to a SLOW START.

 

[ButterTart]

UK not smashing it as I thought we would be by this point.

 

[Tisch]

She’s fuming at only 3

Sorry... Ireland??... Can you repeat?

 

[Madison]

There's a great bit in Eurovision 1993, where the Irish presenter goes ahead and awards Ireland 12 points anyway, even though they only got 10.

 

[octophone]

Sorry... Ireland??... Can you repeat?

Translation: "OK, I'm going to give you the chance to fix that before I FUCK YOU UP"

 

[Lucille]

The hateful scores for ITALY!

 

[dmlaw]

Oh.

Bollocks.

Ah well.....what time are we starting Eurovision 1981, then.

I assume as soon as this is done and we've all listened to the Irish song again.

 

[octophone]

I've muted the voting. I'm listening to Black Dresses now.

 

[Madison]

WOOOO!

 

[Lucille]

DRINK!

 

[OutSynk]

The hateful scores for ITALY!

THAT'S IT WE'RE LEAVING

 

[Soldi]

I've muted the voting. I'm listening to Black Dresses now.

You’re missing an ITALIAN LANDSLIDE

 

[COB]

I no longer want Katrina to win!

 

[Tisch]

The hateful scores for ITALY!

I'm APPALED on their behalf

 

[win_the_game]

The UK are a bit premature with the champagne. We're only four countries in.

 

[ButterTart]

What a brutal face on this Irish one. She looks like she applies her make up with a tyre iron.

 

[Madison]

Bosnia & Herzegovina - fucking up the scoreboard design since 1993.

 

[Madison]

DRINK!!
