Eurovision Rewatch: Birmingham 1998 - 20.00 GMT tonight (25/3)

[straightorbroken]

Greece is what Lauren Harries sees when she looks in the mirror (and after our Jill has handed her another double).

 

[octophone]

That ropey key change didn't do her any favours, did it?

 

[Dark Carnival]

What the fuck is hanging from her dress?

 

[Generic Account]

What an outfit.

At least she has glittery eye makeup.

This isn't quite as good as Croatia.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Like Kim Wilde after a shit night out. This is rough.

 

[Madison]

If you want to understand the lyrics, this is probably the best site:

[Dark Carnival]

It's a no from me Greece.

 

[Raining on Me]

I quite enjoy both so far

I mean in relation to 2020 it's SORT OF refreshing (if a bit shit)

 

[lolly]

Bag o'shite

 

[octophone]

That was terrible.

 

[straightorbroken]

Christ this is bad. At least throw a plate love.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oooh France

 

[Tisch]

ALLEZ OU!!!

 

[Lucille]

This is more like it!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I remember this one!

 

[Penelope]

LOVE this bald bitch

 

[Lucille]

HMMMM MAYBE NOT

 

[Tisch]

France forgot to bring a tune

 

[octophone]

Heather Small FURIOUS.

 

[lolly]

France putting the first two to shame in the stakes

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh please give is us an Alison Limerick belter.

Edit: too late.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Hmmm not crazy about this.

 

[Generic Account]

Stage presence sorely lacking.

That screen fade thingy though.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's like the Lighthouse Family after half a pint.

 

[Lucille]

It all feels like a talent show held in a provincial shopping centre.

 

[Penelope]

The camerawork on this is APPALLING! LOVED the CIRCLE WIPE there

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Stage presence surely lacking.

That screen fade thingy though.

Like a REALLY INTENSE PUDDLE.

 

[octophone]

Why is the keyboard player at the front?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It all feels like a talent show held in a provincial shopping centre.

Which I'm obviously HERE FOR

 

[Lucille]

I’m quite enjoying this.

 

[win_the_game]

Love the half arsed arm choreography of the backing singers.

 

[Penelope]

OMG THE SCREENWIPES

Like a POWERPOINT ODYSSEY

 

[Generic Account]

Quite like the dance break.

 

[Lucille]

I’m not drunk enough for this TAT.

 

[octophone]

Quite bad curtain frocks on the backing singers.

 

[lolly]

My favourite so far, but she's solely responsible for it.

 

[Raining on Me]

Stark contrast to the kitchen-sink convoluted efforts almost every entry goes for now with staging..

 

[straightorbroken]

With her stance, the only thing that could save this would be for a coconut to fall down.

 

[Madison]

Better than Greece, worse than Croatia.

 

[Generic Account]

I feel like this would sound great at about 2am.

 

[octophone]

No thanks.
