Eurovision Rewatch: Düsseldorf, 2011 (20:00 BST)

[Tisch]

Are you having a good time?

GUYS?

YES?

 

[ButterTart]

I mean that jazz cunt was SHIT but NINA ZILLI?!

she was a HUGE step forward, but it all felt a bit ladies night down the Labour Club.

 

[ButterTart]

I have never seen such a violent reaction from Mrs S

I can well imagine. My dog sat with me for the first minute of it and tried to commit suicide.

 

[Madison]

I’m disqualifying then for using the word GSCHPÜR

 

[Tisch]

Oh this? NO THANKS.

 

[Zu]

All the instruments are fake.

I find this VERY HARD TO BELIEVE!

By the way I’m not watching but I am listening to Lévon Minassian for Armenia (Well, with the faintest hint of )

 

[ButterTart]

The first line of the verse of this always reminds me of Stay by Shakespear's Sister.

 

[Madison]

I like this too.

 

[Beverley]

SOZ I had to help with the cooking

ICAN

 

[Madison]

It’s like Star Trek Voyager.

 

[ButterTart]

Even though Lee swallowed a wasp shortly before going on stage, this was a genuinely great song that should have done better.

 

[Tisch]

Who's pitchy? It's ANTHONY isn't it?

 

[Madison]

Very manly cravat Duncan

 

[Suomi]

Has anyone ever ruined a song more than Lee Ryan doing that?

 

[ButterTart]

Who's pitchy? It's ANTHONY isn't it?

They blatantly only turned his mic on for the solo bit.

[ButterTart]

Also, Anthony seems to get the biggest crowd pop. Was he big on the continent?

 

[Madison]

The only Moldovans in Germany are window cleaners.

 

[Tisch]

Massive LOL at the Moldovan being a WINDOW CLEANER

 

[Suomi]

The U.K. song is one of my favourites of this year on record but that performance just felt like it kept stop-starting, and then Lee Ryan’s adlibs

 

[Madison]

I’m going to read the rest of the thread now to make sure none of you slagged off Popular.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh no. No.

 

[Tisch]

Truly the Menly of Blue

 

[ButterTart]

You can really see him overthinking the big notes - he's shitting himself at the start, and during Anthony's whispering he's quite clearly psyching himself up for the money note.

 

[lolly]

@lolly

I'd totally daddy for it

 

[Tisch]

God I love Moldova in Eurovision. They just KNOW this is the only time of year the world pays attention to their country so they just go completely batshit with it. 's all round!

 

[Suomi]

This Moldovan entry is GREAT - it reminds me of Ashlee Simpson’s Outta My Head

I convinced Germany had a great chance of a sneak win by the end of this.

 

[Madison]

(I’d have disqualified her and the broadcaster for featuring in the contest’s intro.)

 

[Madison]

She always reminds me of the grinch.

 

[Madison]

The only Romanians in Germany are criminal youths.

 

[Suomi]

same - I do think it’s quite brave overall really

[Madison]

Was this guy from Tyne and Wear, or somewhere like that?

 

[Tisch]

So the Moldovans are window cleaners and the Romanians go around tagging up the whole shop

 

[Tisch]

Dunno but he has a nice face
