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

[octophone]

Just the two more. Thankfully they're both stone cold 11/10s

You BASTARD.

 

[lolly]

I'll watch the remaining songs, but need to phone mother after. If I leave it any longer the diazepam will have fully kicked in and she'll be even more nonsensical than usual

 

[Lucille]

Here’s a man that i’d fuck, IF he had a beard.

God if I had a pound for every Turkish man I’ve fucked!

I’d have 60p (after tax)

 

[Madison]

WHAT

Who here hasn't danced to a good Vlado Janevski remix at the Euroclub?

 

[VoR]

QUEEN!

Now for the BIG FINISH

 

[Tisch]

I still need an explanation for those eyebrows

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Imagine having just an hour left after the songs!

 

[Penelope]

QUEEN!

Now for the BIG FINISH

You are a PIECE OF WORK

 

[VoR]

Ooh I must get a Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Umbrella!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The WEATHER FORECAST. They clearly were running low on ideas by song 25.

 

[Lucille]

Is this an understated SULTRY GEM.

 

[lolly]

Lightning Seeds

 

[straightorbroken]

Is anyone else singing SOS to this?

Edit: and Private Dancer.

 

[Madison]

Don't forget to take a shot when he does the costume reveal.

 

[Penelope]

As a man now attuned to late-2010s QUALITY CONTROL era Eurovision, this contest really left a lot to be desired this rewatch around

On windows explorer

 

[octophone]

I think I've become numb to the very concept of "music".

 

[VoR]

On a serious note this actually isn't quite as terrible as the visuals would imply. Better than Turkey, anyway.

 

[lolly]

Is he a weather man?

 

[win_the_game]

Dare I say I've always had a sweet spot for 'Ne zori, zoro'

 

[Tisch]

Am I right in thinking Macedonia could put it in me or have I had too much wine?

 

[VoR]

Fun fact: Vlado from FYR Macedonia was 17 at the time of this performance.

He's dead now.

It really has been a massive pile of shit!

 

[Lucille]

BEHAVE!

Can we have a definitive list of contestants that are now DEAD, and whether they topped themselves out of SHAME.

I enjoyed that or is it just Stockholm syndrome?

You're thinking of 2011 babe

 

[Lucille]

Croatia seeming NOT BAD after what followed.

 

[straightorbroken]

Now, if Ulrika had came back on stage with messed up hair (and crutches) I would have loved her forever.

 

[Tisch]

If dark and in a woods then maybe

Voting open for 5 minutes!

To think we still can't text!

 

[octophone]

Imma jack it in...can't cope with the scoring.

I'd be up for another of these tho'. Maybe one a bit less hokey and without an obvious nonce as a supposed highlight.

 

[Lucille]

Imagine Dana with today’s staging budget

 

[Lucille]

Lol Malta. There’s no way she still has both feet.
