Eurovision rewatch: Athens 2006 (20:00 BST)

[dmlaw]

Actually, I have no problem with the Danish song. They have sensibly reversed the male to female ratio from Germany, which helps.

 

[COB]

Dima Bilan... gay?

 

[D5K]

Oh this was back in the days where I liked Dima. Shame we know what’s to come...

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Surely if he is wearing a shirt with his position on it it should say "Bottom"

 

[VoR]

Oh Dima. Was there ANY cocaine left in Athens?

 

[Madison]

I’ve never understood chin fluff.

 

[Beverley]

Dima is a slag, but this is a brilliant entry

 

[dmlaw]

I believe I once saw a tag suggesting that this Russian gentleman may be a homosexual.

 

[VoR]

Loving the Crystal Methd MULLET

 

[Madison]

When there’s platforms on the stage (like in Malta), are they brought onto the stage, or do they rise up from below?

 

[VoR]

ENUNCIATE DIMA

 

[dmlaw]

At least no one is expecting Dima to remove a jacket during this performance.

 

[COB]

Really enjoying this song, I must say!

They rise up rise up to the sky.

 

[VoR]

This really is streets ahead of everything that preceded it to be fair (aside from NORWAY )

 

[Madison]

Look at the state of that country name

 

[COB]

WHAT!

 

[VoR]

Listen for booing now. (I can't recall, but she must have been...)

Are you on the MENTHE?

 

[Madison]

Does this pre-date Beautiful Liar?

 

[VoR]

I do LOVE this slaggy crap.

It's what Moldova were attempting but done RIGHT

 

[Lucille]

Just when I thought I’d settled on my Moopyvision Song Contest entry!

 

[dmlaw]

This really is a prime edition for boob rating purposes.

 

[Lucille]

Are you on the MENTHE?

Stone cold sober!

 

[Beverley]

Does this pre-date Beautiful Liar?

Post definitely

 

[VoR]

"I can make Beyonce and Shakira dance for you" is a proper classic Eurovision lyric IMO

 

[Beverley]

Just when I thought I’d settled on my Moopyvision Song Contest entry!

OMG do this!

 

[Madison]

Post definitely

Just checked - it was released in 2007

 

[VoR]

Post definitely

Nope! Beautiful Liar was a hit in 2007

Yes, everyone remember to TAKE NOTES for your karaoke choices tonight and if anyone else feels inspired to enter just let me know! Looking in your direction @VoR

 

[VoR]

Surprisingly warm crowd reception for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia BUT DEFINITELY NOT THE REAL ONE BECAUSE THAT'S OURS OKAY?
