[ButterTart]

Although it's heartening to know tATu weren't the first time Russia sent an all-lesbian group.

 

[Madison]

Wogan just did the infamous Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy line.

 

[VoR]

Dead now of course

 

[dmlaw]

This is genuinely, truly horrendous.

It's OK. Sweden are next and it's from before they just farted out something blandly competent every year.

 

[VoR]

(I assume)

 

[Soldi]

Tell them YOUR AGE!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Songcontest.com? What an odd choice

 

[VoR]

Mercifully, this is a very by-the-numbers Swedish year

 

[Madison]

www.songcontest.com still exists! A redirect to the EBU.

It's OK. Sweden are next and it's from before they just farted out something blandly competent every year.

This is the era where they simply covered the Belgian entry from 1996.

 

[Soldi]

Omg its ABBA

 

[COB]

Are these who the arena got named after?

 

[D5K]

I should know; was this g:son’s first time at Eurovision?

 

[Madison]

I've narrowed it down to Dana Sondak, Jackie Toledo or Lola Caspi. If any of you are reading this, I want you to know I'm disappointed in your performance.

Update: My suspicion is now Dana Sondak, given that she was married to the lead arist.

Here for Chief Investigator Madison

 

[COB]

Oh it IS ABBA

 

[dmlaw]

Early leaders in Boobrate, not that there has been much to choose from yet.

 

[Madison]

The Council rejected the first-choice Chips Arena as being too silly.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This isn't hitting the heights I want it to, but it's easily the best of the night so far

 

[VoR]

Love that one of Nina & Kim is having great fun while the other is totally GAME FACE

[COB]

Nice hug at the end! Because they are FRIENDS presumably

 

[dmlaw]

I wonder if there was an argument over who got to wear the jacket.

 

[Soldi]

Is Skamp Lithuanian for Scampi?

 

[Madison]

It's original Moopy Eurovision forum QOL Skamp

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Loving the single homosexual sleeve

 

[COB]

Isn't this Laura Thingy from Belgium years later? It's quite similar at least.

 

[win_the_game]

Loving the single homosexual sleeve

The comedy afros not so much

 

[dmlaw]

Ginger frizz does not mix well with dressing up like a Christmas decoration.

 

[D5K]

This is abhorrent

 

[COB]

The flat as fuck backing vox

 

[ZenGiraffe]

oh.
