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

[ButterTart]

SHUT UP EVERYONE BIRGITTA IS ON

 

[Penelope]

OMG this is the GREATEST EUROVISION OPENER OF ALL TIME

 

[Kala]

This is SUCH a GREAT opener

 

[Dark Carnival]

25 to go after this!

Why is this bitch so pressed?

 

[Lucille]

Ooooooh were opening with a BASIC BITCH.

 

[ButterTart]

Fitter than I remember.

 

[D5K]

This was the final year where I hadn’t heard any of the foreign songs before the night.

 

[Beverley]

OMG having closeted teen gay flashbacks

 

[lolly]

Alarming eyebrows

 

[Kala]

This is so GLORIOUS

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What a sad top.

Anyway less about RaspberrySwirl.

 

[ButterTart]

I wish she'd have worn a bigger flower, you can almost see her head.

 

[Beverley]

What ARE those backing singers about?!

 

[Raining on Me]

Terry Wogan was a massive CUNT on this at times but in fairness (I know I know..) wasn't this the era that, due to the voting structure/who made the finals system, that certain voting PATTERNS became rather more noticeable and affected things a tad more than usual?

Still a twat obviously. But the contest became fairer further down the line

 

[Suomi]

My dad famously remarked that Iceland was good because it was “a real song”. QUEEN!

 

[Penelope]

I always thought this would've been a GLORIOUS X Factor winners single for Joe McElderry

 

[Dark Carnival]

What a sad top.

Anyway less about RaspberrySwirl.

 

[Madison]

The middle eight is

 

[VoR]

"The sum of you and me
is WEE"

 

[Kala]

I have SIX Birgitta albums

 

[lolly]

This would still sound great on Radio 2

Not sure if that's a compliment or not

 

[Penelope]

The SUM of YOU AND ME is WE

 

[D5K]

A fantastic key change is coming

 

[Lucille]

The gay hyperbole for this SERVICEABLE POP SONG.

 

[ButterTart]

Key change of fucking LIFE coming in a second.

 

[Kala]

KEYCHANGE

 

[dmlaw]

I think this is the first rewatch I have partaken where the opener wasn't really shit. Very good work, Iceland.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't really like this.

 

[Dark Carnival]

DC jury not sold. But a nice enough opener.

 

[Soldi]

What a LOVELY flower

 

[Beverley]

I have SIX Birgitta albums

KALA

 

[Suomi]

10 Iceland

from both me and Mr Suomi

 

[Madison]

WHOOO!!

 

[Kala]

SO FUCKING GOOD!

 

[ButterTart]

The rest of them should just have gone home after this.

Apart from Mickey Joe, he's on in a minute to fuck everyone's shit up.

 

[lolly]

07 Iceland

 

[Soldi]
