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

[Dark Carnival]

Still not over the eyeball.

I can't!

 

[win_the_game]

Post-Eurovision Gunvor became a tap dancer and was subsequently prosecuted for theft and insurance fraud.

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is the best 90s contest yes?

Oh dear if it is!

 

[Lucille]

Oh great another PERM.

 

[Tisch]

Oh it's DINA CARROLL

 

[Penelope]

Post-Eurovision Gunvor became a tap dancer and was subsequently prosecuted for theft and insurance fraud.

QUEEN!

 

[octophone]

Blimey, definite Kate Bush vibe here.

 

[COB]

This ren faire NONSENSE is my favourite so far!

 

[Tisch]

Those AFFECTS

 

[Dark Carnival]

This sounds oddly familiar!

 

[Penelope]

There's something quite bewitching about this one. Feel like I'm about to be lured back to a strange man's house and BOILED IN A POT

 

[Generic Account]

Do we get a key change and reveal with this one too or is that only former Yugoslav countries?

 

[octophone]

Oh, it's the same chords in the chorus as Kiss From A Rose.

 

[Madison]

The Gunvor chapter is by far the saddest in Tim Moore's book - the Swiss public really treated Gunvor awfully.

 

[Lucille]

This is slightly ALLURING.

?!

 

[Alla]

I was gonna watch it but I have a headache, next time.

 

[straightorbroken]

I really thought she was going to be fabulous, but this Kiss From A Rose rip-off is a nothing no.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

So the chorus is better than the verse. But her big notes are all mouth.

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is slightly ALLURING.

I quite LIKE it

 

[Lucille]

Wait who is guvnor, I presumed this was a fantasy story.

 

[Generic Account]

I quite like the guitar in the verses.

Well done Slovakia.

 

[Penelope]

?!

It's got a very BROTHERS GRIMM feel to it

 

[Raining on Me]

What happened to Slovakia at Eurovision? Did she die?

 

[octophone]

She's the best singer so far, for sure.

 

[win_the_game]

Maybe it's the SLOVAK but this is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Pick a melody love and stick with it.

 

[lolly]

She deserves better than this

 

[Lucille]

Having a SPEED SHIT between songs.

 

[Penelope]

What happened to Slovakia at Eurovision? Did she die?

They never qualified after the semis came in and stropped off after a while

 

[Tisch]

Craotia still my favourite

 

[Dark Carnival]

What happened to Slovakia at Eurovision? Did she die?

More importantly, WHEN did she die?

 

[COB]

BEAUTIFUL GLASGOW

 

[octophone]

Having a SPEED SHIT between songs.

Now now, never hurry a jobby. That's how the Emma Freuds happen...

 

[Dark Carnival]

They never qualified after the semis came in and stropped off after a while

 

[Penelope]

Good LORD this year really doesn't LEAD WITH THE HITS

 

[Tisch]

Is it the wine or are we RACING through this?

 

[straightorbroken]

The Polish Cranberries I hope, going on that picture.

 

[Penelope]

More importantly, WHEN did she die?

2012 was their last year to date iirc

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh how Glasgow has changed.

 

[Tisch]

Ooh this is good
