Eurovision rewatch 8th April (20:00 BST): Riga 2003

[Beverley]

Gurl, I was shading TISCHE, not YOU

You know you're my main bitch

 

[Tisch]

Fun fact: Esther Hart helped to kill Jo Cox.

More believable

 

[Dark Carnival]

DC jury approves!

[Soldi]

Not these TWO

 

[Tisch]

Gurl, I was shading TISCHE, not YOU

I was going to comment something like OH THANKS but then got scared I was getting too close to sensitive territory and commented on the Netherlands' gold outfit instead

 

[dmlaw]

Imagine if Esther's actually competent vocals had sung one of the much better songs from earlier.

 

[Lucille]

KEYCHANGE

Are they COMPULSORY this year?

 

[VoR]

I don't know about you, but I have a good feeling about these two...

 

[Penelope]

God it's like Ulrika Jonsson at Eurovision

Oh god this UTTERLY DESPERATE MUGGING

[Kala]

ITS US!!!

 

[Kala]

WE ARE GONNA WIN!!!

 

[Raining on Me]

After the Israel piss break, Dutch Gillian Taylforth was just the ticket. Not quite up to the delicacies of before but VERY palatable

 

[Beverley]

YAY

I have the single

 

[Soldi]

We’ve got the best legs but the CUNTIEST COMMENATOR

 

[VoR]

Even Liverpool never spoke of these two again, and we'll claim ANYTHING

 

[Penelope]

Baby Penny was utterly convinced this was going to do well

 

[win_the_game]

If you're going to bastardise starsigns Jemini, surely WANCER is more appropriate.

 

[Dark Carnival]

HOW BASIC!

 

[Penelope]

Even Liverpool never spoke of these two again, and we'll claim ANYTHING

She was later convicted for benefits fraud and said Eurovision should be cancelled because it upsets her to think of it.

 

[Beverley]

This whole performance is a hate crime.

 

[Kala]

So the UK delegation would not pay for the In ear monitors, and apparently the speakers DID NOT WORK during this...

 

[Tisch]

So: we watched this Eurovision aged 14 on a school trip as my French teacher was obsessed with Eurovision. 1 by 1 everyone dropped out until it was just me, my friend and my teacher (in hindsight probably not allowed these days)

A memory has just come flooding back that he let me use his mobile from Germany to vote for Netherlands.

 

[Madison]

She truly is our Anna Bergendahl.

 

[lolly]

How did we select this year?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

How did we select this year?

Anal probes

 

[Tisch]

So the UK delegation would not pay for the In ear monitors, and apparently the speakers DID NOT WORK during this...

BULLSHIT

 

[Dark Carnival]

Boy Jemini's hair! It hurts.

 

[dmlaw]

So flat that they're almost hitting the note below.

 

[Suomi]

Curiously the second Jemini single is on Spotify

[Beverley]

So did Lady Jemini have an ear piece or not?

 

[Soldi]

“CUM ON LATVIA”

 

[lolly]

Boy Jemini's hair! It hurts.

Still standard on a Saturday night out in Cardiff

 

[Madison]

How did we select this year?

A Song For Europe.

The last one ever.

 

[Penelope]

The main thing that doomed this really wasn't the vocals, was it? In a year with as many Mediterranean guitar pop bangers as 2003, why would this be the one you'd vote for when Dime was right there and better in every way?
