Eurovision rewatch: Athens 2006 (20:00 BST)

[D5K]

@David_5000 Did we see the first live performance of this?

Certainly an early one; I can’t remember how it was selected though.

 

[Zu]

Just popping in to say that I quite like ‘We Are The Winners’ SO THERE

 

[VoR]

Oh, now I feel bad that you've tagged him.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Kinky boots is better.

 

[D5K]

Isn’t one of these dancers someone famous?

 

[Tisch]

Daz found moopy? What happened??

 

[dmlaw]

I actually like Daz's entry. It's misguided in so many highly entertaining ways.

 

[COB]

I wonder if CITY CHIX would've done better than this.

 

[Madison]

Stockport’s finest

 

[Tisch]

Had a premonition. One of the backing singers appeared on/in something kind of recently.... ANYONE?

 

[Tisch]

Isn’t one of these dancers someone famous?

Yes yes, help anyone!

 

[VoR]

The optics of this have... not aged well.

 

[Tisch]

I don't think this is that bad either.

[D5K]

Out Of Touch was a choon though.

 

[Soldi]

Stockport’s finest

Better than the HAT MUSEUM at least

 

[COB]

Yes yes, help anyone!

Is it Karen Matthews?

 

[Madison]

Better than the HAT MUSEUM at least

The hat museum was great!

One of them finished second to Jemini in A Song For Europe 2003. The others do not have Wikipedia pages.

 

[Beverley]

So do we think she mimed the final note or WOT?

 

[Madison]

I liked the dance version of this very much.

 

[VoR]

Oh God, the shouty pirate lady.

 

[Beverley]

I do really like this tbh

 

[Madison]

The rabid Greek fans were so scared of Carola beating her.

I googled it, it suggested Jade Ewen and Nicki French and I don't *think* either of them are his backing singers so I think that must be it. I think I read it after the 2003 rewatch hence why I thought it was a much more recent thing than it was

Teenage Life is mint, and I'll hear no argument. I assume it's been pointed out that brave, dead Caroline Flack is one of the backing strumpets.

Anyway, here's Anna come to prolapse on stage with the sheer effort of her performance.

Jade was a schoolgirl in that Busted video, are you thinking of that?

 

[D5K]

I was scared of her winning. Until the performance.

 

[Madison]

The snappily-named ‘Valentino and Christodoulus Siganos remix’ is the good stuff.

 

[Beverley]

This is such a killer performance

 

[ButterTart]

Cunt it, I've missed Tornero.

 

[Soldi]

Love a bit of Anna Fishy I do

 

[COB]

That Greek one was ACE tbh.

 

[Tisch]

Didnt know that! Was Nicki French as well?

Why do you keep DISAPPEARING

Have you been off somewhere? You missed Macedonia's tits.

 

[Soldi]

It’s @Suomi

We really should watch 1973.
