Eurovision Rewatch: Baku 2012 - 20.00 GMT tonight (21/3)

[Beverley]

The next song reminds me so much of @Dark Carnival

 

[Alla]

This was EVERYTHING

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh God the shadowy backing singer!

 

[FetchFugly]

An absolute queen.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I can't breath

 

[ameraal]

well thank god for that.

 

[Generic Account]

That closing wink

 

[Suomi]

La La Love walked so that Fuego could run

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I would quite happily watch La La Love on repeat for the rest of the evening tbh

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg I can't! These two perfs in a row!!

 

[D5K]

The intro has always baffled me

 

[Suomi]

Anggun - 0 from the public, 12 from my heart. What a defiant mess of a track and performance

 

[Dark Carnival]

*gay coma*

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm here for shirtless gymnasts.

 

[Beverley]

Terrible, but I love it

Mrs Bev: 'it's kind of annoying'

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

France the great pretender THINKING she was giving the gays everything they wanted, when Ivi had ACTUALLY truly stolen their hearts

I also don’t think the French song is very good. Her voice is very UNPLEASANT and it sounds like someone Erasure would have plopped out in the 90’s MUSICALLY

 

[Dark Carnival]

How was this not higher? so much injustice in the world

 

[lolly]

Watching this show again has almost made me glad 2020 was cancelled

 

[Beverley]

That outfit is giving me such Drag Race energy

 

[Dark Carnival]

FUCK YOU

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG THE CHIFFON

 

[Alla]

Anggun bringing the Olympics to Eurovision.

 

[Suomi]

That was like being a willing participant aboard a derailing train - GLORIOUS!

 

[Generic Account]

My enduring memory of France was the ballad to the the tallest woman in the world. If that was France.

This is fab.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's CARPET MADNESS!

 

[Alla]

Another singer with nice TEETH.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Make that three perfs in a row! What a YEAR!

 

[Suomi]

I keep being shocked at the running order and then remembering it’s random

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Oh i wish the glory of MAD EMMA was this year instead of this rather average Italian Winehouse tribute

 

[FetchFugly]

Anggun was gloriously overboard.

There can't be many years that can offer up such a 1-2 as Ivi and her.

 

[D5K]

My enduring memory of France was the ballad to the the tallest woman in the world. If that was France.

This is fab.

Rings a vague bell. 2004?

 

[Beverley]

Did Nina win San Remo?

 

[Suomi]

This is my least favourite of the Italian entries since their comeback - it’s got too much of a Lily Allen/Sandi Thom/Eliza Doolittle feel to it

 

[Generic Account]

Rings a vague bell. 2004?

Around then probably. I remember dragging the boys from the street in to watch it in my dining room that year.

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh i wish the glory of MAD EMMA was this year instead of this rather average Italian Winehouse tribute

Oh yes. I am just in the mood for some walkway crawling.

 

[D5K]

I don’t remember this being this fun

 

[Generic Account]

Very Winehouse.

 

[lolly]

I'm almost glad Italy are shit just to give me pause for breath

 

[Suomi]

Rings a vague bell. 2004?

A Chaque Pas! A very earnest little ballad undermined by a terrifying lady on stilts

 

[Beverley]

OMG I can't cope with how epic this year is.

I stan for what's next
