I can officially confirm that Malcolm made a more pleasant noise whilst he was having his fatal heart attack.

 

[Lucille]

This really is like a night down the working men’s club isn’t it.

 

[lolly]

I didn’t think I could imagine a cross between Michael Ball, David Bowie and Danny La Rue

YET HERE WE ARE

 

[ButterTart]

Get that fucking mic sorted, I can barely enjoy whatever Paul Nicholas here is failing to sing.

 

[lolly]

Malcolm Roberts was actually AT Eurovision in 1985, representing Luxembourg of all nations, along with a bunch of 5 other singers. The song they sang is one of the worst songs to ever compete at Eurovision.

Worse than THIS?

 

[Dark Carnival]

He died in 2003

RIP IN PEACE

 

[lolly]

He died in 2003

RIP IN PEACE

Cold comfort right now

 

[win_the_game]

Howling at Malcolm's hand gestures.

 

[Zu]

Sam J. Anus was getting in the way, in fairness, it was all about the bushy backing singers.

Bushy?

#mingerate #lookssore #vagenewig

 

[Kala]

Worse than THIS?

Probably not. It is a Ralph Siegel song called Children, Kinder, Enfants. It's AWFUL but in a more fun way I guess. This 91 song is just SHITE.

 

[Raining on Me]

Fucking hell that was HORRIBLE

Ready for more

 

[ButterTart]

I'm certain we were served by Maxine Carr working the checkouts in Morrisons in Northamptonshire many years back

Working in Morrisons - let it never be said the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

 

[Lucille]

Oh god he’s going FULL BREXIT.

 

[lolly]

I apologise for my home city

 

[win_the_game]

Terry veering into full blown BREXIT CUNT there.

 

[Kala]

Look at the HAIR on Lorraine!

 

[Alla]

THE HAIR!

 

[dmlaw]

Probably not. It is a Ralph Siegel song called Children, Kinder, Enfants. It's AWFUL but in a more fun way I guess. This 91 song is just SHITE.

We'll have to look out for that when we rewatch Eurovision 1985 in the early hours of Sunday 10 May. Who says we can't plan anything?

 

[lolly]

seriously, how long did they spending scrunching their hair in the early 90s?

 

[Soldi]

Poor loves glued to the stage

 

[Kala]

A Little Bit of Heaven was a huge fan favourite back in the day.

 

[win_the_game]

The star quality just oozes from Lorraine

 

[ButterTart]

You can see how Sammie J won. The funereal pace of the other songs is being capped by the actual VICARESS providing backing vocals here.

 

[dmlaw]

I'm not sure who told her that the mauve gloves were a good idea.

 

[Dark Carnival]

The gloves

 

[ButterTart]

Greedy bitch hasn't left any hair for anyone else, has she?

 

[lolly]

The choreo

 

[Alla]

A Little Bit of Heaven was a huge fan favourite back in the day.

A favourite of who?

 

[Lucille]

Cultural context : Nevermind was released the same year.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm not sure who told her that the mauve gloves were a good idea.

Ironically, they're the most '2020' part of the whole outfit.

 

[win_the_game]

An audience of sex offenders if ever I've seen one.

 

[Raining on Me]

Working in Morrisons - let it never be said the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

I mean it really looked like her, post child murders obviously, right down to acting well, suspiciously like a child murderer in hiding...I think it was found out her identity was discovered NOT LONG AFTER and she was subsequently moved, but I could have fabricated that. Must google!

 

[lolly]

What did the fans DO back in 1991? Did they correspond by POSTCARD?

 

[ButterTart]

Oh good, a ballad.

 

[dmlaw]

At least, they don't have John Barrowman saying that all of the songs are 'SO EUROVISION' at this stage. We should be grateful for small mercies.

 

[Dark Carnival]

What did the fans DO back in 1991? Did they correspond by POSTCARD?

ROAMING PIGEONS

 

[win_the_game]

HIDEOUS

 

[Kala]

A favourite of who?

What did the fans DO back in 1991? Did they correspond by POSTCARD?

There were TWO fan clubs back then, OGAE UK which is still going, and Eurovision Network which ended in the late 90s. I didn't join either until 1993 though. They had conventions and everything back then, not much has really changed.

The quarterly magazines was how I got my Eurovision news back in the day!

 

[ButterTart]

She's a look of Tracie Andrews about her. It's the demented eyes. Don't change the radio station when she's in the passenger seat or you'll get a tire iron where the sun doesn't shine.

 

[ButterTart]

HIDEOUS

I'd say she's more 'homely'.
