Eurovision Rewatch: Copenhagen 2014 (27/06, 20:00 BST)

[ButterTart]

They really were pushing the UK to do well.

When was the last time our staging looked great?

Lucie's mirror thing was brilliant.

Lucie.

2017...

I thought Lucie's staging looked pretty good.

I can't believe people were tipping this nothing song for success.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Lucie's mirror thing was brilliant.

Yeah that was spectacular actually.

 

[Madison]

The fake drummer deserves more praise.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

2017...

Yeah I don't know what that was.

 

[D5K]

I don’t remember this song at all. when it was revealed I remember being pleasantly surprised but not really liking it at the same time.

 

[dmlaw]

The fake drummer deserves more praise.

Yeah, miming drumming must be quite difficult...

 

[ButterTart]

If she had a bit of charisma and wasn't dressed like she was off for a night shift at Jabba's palace, this would have been ace.

 

[D5K]

She does not deserve that fire curtain.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

How literally the British voting public took "power to the people" to their hearts...

 

[Dark Carnival]

I thought Lucie's staging looked pretty good.

I can't believe people were tipping this nothing song for success.

But it had the perfect opportunity by closing the show!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don’t remember this song at all. when it was revealed I remember being pleasantly surprised but not really liking it at the same time.

A recurring theme for British entries.

 

[Madison]

Oh - I forgot to keep score of the entries.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They're fucking obsessed with Graham Norton aren't they?

 

[Madison]

This is Denmark’s passive aggressive revenge for Wogan I guess.

 

[dmlaw]

If she had a bit of charisma and wasn't dressed like she was off for a night shift at Jabba's palace, this would have been ace.

Jabba would have fed her to the rancor before the start of the second verse.

 

[D5K]

I still can’t believe they couldn’t find a suitable arena so hosted the thing in a massive shopping warehouse.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't remember the interval act this year. I hope it's Aqua again.

 

[D5K]

I just read on Twitter that molly was top 3 with the bookies. Is that really true?!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I just read on Twitter that molly was top 3 with the bookies. Is that really true?!

As I recall she was. She proper crashed on the night.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't remember the interval act this year. I hope it's Aqua again.

I think it's Safri-duo.

We forgot to nominate them in the dance rate. Another semi final needed.

[Madison]

As a Beethoven and Sister Act 2 (Back In The Habit) fan, this is promising.

 

[dmlaw]

I have no recollection of this repellent Ode to Joy rip-off. I must not be drunk enough.

 

[Dark Carnival]

WTF is this?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

If you're not voting for Greece you're dead inside.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Someone needs to drive a nifty shitwagon onto that stage.

 

[Madison]

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, and following it up with a prime example of what would have happened if 'Love Love Peace Peace' had been really shit.
