Eurovision Rewatch: A Song For Europe 2003 (23:00 BST 21/04)

[Alla]

Whatever happened to Jessica after Eurovision?

 

[lolly]

This year really was the pinnacle of the BBC not giving a shit.

Cam we revisit a few later years before deciding that?

 

[Dark Carnival]

This year really was the pinnacle of the BBC not giving a shit.

I mean getting the guy from last year to compare flying a plane to being on stage for A Song For Europe... really...

 

[Alla]

Rosa

 

[Kala]

Whatever happened to Jessica after Eurovision?

Nothing. A second single was planned but it never got released.

 

[ButterTart]

That Estonian presenter had one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard.

 

[Alla]

Nothing. A second single was planned but it never got released.

Poor thing, even Andy Abraham released an album.

 

[Soldi]

Ooo I MIGHT ENTER

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh and 2002 now! I feel like moopy has equipped me with everything I need Eurovision wise.

 

[lolly]

12, 10, 9 ?

WTF?

 

[Alla]

Kala did you vote here?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh we're doing regional voting this year

 

[win_the_game]

WTF 9 POINTS?

 

[Kala]

Kala did you vote here?

Yeah I voted for Emily Reed.

 

[Dark Carnival]

12, 10, 9 ?

WTF?

Not even a consolation 08 for last place

 

[Alla]

0, 9, 10 and 12? What kind of voting system is that?

 

[win_the_game]

Poor Shrek on NUL.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Guy who is not Mahmood still at 00

 

[Soldi]

YAY THE MIDLANDS

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is TIGHT

 

[Soldi]

Ooo we voted for HELP ME

 

[Soldi]

Guy who is not Mahmood still at 00

 

[ButterTart]

Poor Shrek not getting a look in.

 

[win_the_game]

Well this has been terrible folks.

An awful winner, the culimation of an awful show.

 

[lolly]

Guy who is not Mahmood still at 00

He was just TOO HOT for 2003

 

[Soldi]

Let’s hope you’ve got a winner

 

[Alla]

The unnecessary humiliation for that poor man (song #2)

 

[ButterTart]

Fucking Hell, how rushed is this?

 

[ButterTart]

The unnecessary humiliation for that poor man (song #2)

The horror of getting 0 against a song which went on to score 0.

 

[win_the_game]

Can't believe this SLOPPY BOTTOM and his HAG won etc.

 

[Soldi]

Fucking Hell, how rushed is this?

Well it really is quite SHAMEFUL isn’t it

 

[Alla]

Fucking Hell, how rushed is this?

It's the best part of the show.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Fucking Hell, how rushed is this?

Like anyone would want that shitshow to drag for more than it already has!

 

[Kala]

If they'd have kept the 'most votes' win as they had done in all the previous years of the public deciding, instead of the regional points then Emily Reed would probably have won. She got the 12 from South England and the Midlands the regions with the most people. The fact that the whole of South England had the same power as Northern Ireland is quite the CHOICE.

I doubt she would have done amazingly, but I think she'd probably have ended around 16th place.

 

[Alla]

But this performance is not even close to the HORROR that was in Eurovision.

 

[lolly]

I feel really fucking disgusted with myself now

Do you think it was rigged? Or that only happens in Spain?

 

[Dark Carnival]

I mean don't get me wrong I still hate Terry but I totally understand why he was SO bitter in his final years.

 

[Alla]

That was so fast, for god's sake

That seems RATHER MOOT considering the ESC ITSELF, though!
