[AGinAg (37)]

The presenters... easy wank, tough listen.

 

[Alla]

BUT WHYYYY

Just to annoy us.

Cute azeri guy is most definitely a gay.

Such delicate gestures.

 

[Beverley]

Eldar is def a queen

 

[AGinAg (37)]

HOW did we end up on first?

 

[Suomi]

I will say - thank GOD Sweden took control of running orders after this year - no song like this should ever open

 

[Alla]

Azerbaijan is basically Baku and desert.

 

[Beverley]

Engle's song is actually quite nice out of context

 

[Generic Account]

Oh god I forgot about this.

Way to start the show off with a banger.

 

[Dark Carnival]

What was the UK thiking?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Engle's song is actually quite nice out of context

This is Eurovision babes.

 

[Beverley]

Mrs Bev: 'Do you want to see a BAT doing a WEE?'

Azerbaijan is basically Baku and desert.

PEARL OF THE CASPIAN

 

[Beverley]

Oooh Mrs Bev has an actual opinion now!

'It's a bit boring.'

 

[Generic Account]

Azerbaijan is basically Baku and desert.

LAND OF FIRE.

 

[Alla]

What was the UK thiking?

They weren't thinking.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What was the UK thiking?

That people give a shit about our 60s crooners.

 

[Beverley]

Tacky, she says.

 

[D5K]

So tempted to fast forward but that kind of ruins the point of this

 

[Suomi]

I think this was the year HURTS wanted to enter but someone somewhere saw the stars align with this geezer

 

[D5K]

There’s nothing sadder at eurovision than an undeserved fire curtain.

Hungarian leather daddies?

 

[Alla]

There’s nothing sadder at eurovision than an undeserved fire curtain.

No fire curtain.

 

[lolly]

I don't remember Engelbert being as bad as this

 

[D5K]

Oh I LOVE this one

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Aren't all countries lands of tradition?

God I almost always hate the postcards.

 

[FetchFugly]

I forgot that he had dancers, I thought it was just Engelbert crooning on his own.

 

[Beverley]

PITCHY

 

[Alla]

Totally forgot this one. I can see why.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I actually don’t HATE Englebert at all, it’s quite Johnny Cash-lite

I don’t mind the performance either, it’s cute. However a competitive or modern Eurovision entry it was NOT!

 

[D5K]

Aren't all countries lands of tradition?

God I almost always hate the postcards.

Love the way they said “fuck off, we’re not showcasing the artists, let’s just make it all about us”

 

[Dark Carnival]

Phone call be right back girls

 

[Generic Account]

Hungarian leather daddies?

Never mind.

Is this the year with Donny Montel V1?

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

No recollection of this queen from Hungary WHATSOEVER, which would make sense being second in running order.

 

[Suomi]

Sound of Our Hearts is good on record, but this singer live reminds me of Paul from A1 ‘having a go’ at lead vocals

 

[Beverley]

Phone call be right back girls

No

 

[FetchFugly]

They are loving the shots of their shiny new arena.

What a nasty coat.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I forgot that he had dancers, I thought it was just Engelbert crooning on his own.

Yeah, my memory is very different.

 

[Suomi]

Sarah Harding on BV

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

OMG are the audience seated?!
Was that a THING at some point?
