Eurovision rewatch: Athens 2006 (20:00 BST)

[COB]

Makes me want a spot of BIOTEN for my disgusting face.

 

[ButterTart]

Helena looks a lot slaggier here than she did before or since.

 

[Madison]

Look at the efforts the Greeks go to avoid a shorter version of Macedonia.

 

[Beverley]

Fuck I almost forgot about this. The songs are gonna start for me

 

[Madison]

Without looking it up - how many can you name?

 

[Soldi]

OMG is that the ALCAZAR GUY

 

[ButterTart]

Stefan Dennis in the white suit there.

This really was a horrible concept and song.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

So I am trying to follow the Eurovision and the Politics at the same time, so if I get confused and wonder why Daz Sampson was spotted in Durham a second time, I apologise in advance.

 

[Beverley]

Switzerland = disgusting

Were they the first attempt to create an international group for Eurovision?

 

[COB]

OMG is that the ALCAZAR GUY

And is that DENISE VAN OUTEN?

 

[Tisch]

We’re a bit QUIET tonight, where is EVERYONE?

@Tisch @Iguana @Lucille @Alla @Zu-Klara

I'm here and thanks for putting me top of your list <3

Me and Ig are watching different Eurovisions in different rooms and had a mini bicker about it

Where abouts are we? The presenters talking? I have what sounds like Dutch commentary Is that RIGHT?

 

[Soldi]

Still better than GENEALOGY

 

[ButterTart]

OMG is that the ALCAZAR GUY

Fuck off a minute, Stefan Dennis is him? I can definitely see it, but all his hair must have come off since.

 

[Madison]

Tinka
Andreas
Liel
Keith

Which one is he was watching?

 

[dmlaw]

It is not hard to see why no one has ever decided to copy the idea of just throwing six lead singers onto the stage with a dull song.

Almost finished Song #1

 

[D5K]

Was this the first ever “common framework” entry?

Genocide denier

 

[ButterTart]

Switzerland = disgusting

They were trying to create a multinational S Club 7, except with no Paul and six Tinas.

 

[Tisch]

This like one of those catalogues where they show lots of different coloured children showing off their fruits of the loom clothes. Fun for EVERYONE!

There’s an awful 80s one from Luxembourg?

 

[Soldi]

04 Switzerland

I mean it wasn’t bad, just lasted around 10 minutes longer than it needed to.

 

[COB]

I still adore Bones by Equinox, so if THAT old toot was ever any sort of inspiration for it then I can't fully hate it.

 

[dmlaw]

Genocide denier

I could say a lot of things about Face The Shadow, but dull would not be one of them.

 

[VoR]

It feels so wrong that of all the fabulous gay moments Andreas Lundstedt has contributed to the culture, THIS will go down as his sole Eurovision moment.

 

[Tisch]

Which one is he was watching?

He's doing the #eurovisionagain one from 2003 as he'll be live whatsapping a friend and didn't watch it when moopy did whereas I did!

 

[D5K]

Oh yes... this was one of the worst opening stretches of songs in history wasn’t it? Something like most of the front 10 were weak auto qualifiers?

 

[Madison]

40 Switzerland

 

[Beverley]

LOCA

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Based on these first two songs, it is a wonder I ever stuck with Eurovision at all.

 

[Alla]

We’re a bit QUIET tonight, where is EVERYONE?

@Tisch @Iguana @Lucille @Alla @Zu-Klara

Going for a walk.

 

[D5K]

It’s Prison lady!

 

[Soldi]

That mans got his priorities wrong, bet he likes beans too!

 

[COB]

This Moldovan one is a SEX CRIME

 

[VoR]

Oh yes... this was one of the worst opening stretches of songs in history wasn’t it? Something like most of the front 10 were weak auto qualifiers?

Yep. Hang tight, it's THIN GRUEL until Norway show up.

 

[dmlaw]

The slut in the bikini appears to be the sole redeeming feature of this horrible nonsense.

 

[Soldi]

This is just fucking awful

 

[Beverley]

OMG that outfit!!!

Moldova truly is a nation of sex workers
