Eurovision Rewatch: Dublin 1988 (13/06, 20:00 BST)

[COB]

OH WAIT SHE'S 13

 

[lolly]

Is Siegel Eurovision's most prolific songwriter?

 

[Tisch]

The presenters just don't care at all do they? Why didn't anyone Irish up their preshow Horlicks?

 

[dmlaw]

OH WAIT SHE'S 13

It's too late. You have to sign the registrer now.

 

[Iguana]

OH WAIT SHE'S 13

Awks.

 

[D5K]

What a weird arrangement of pianos

 

[Tisch]

God they look SO GERMAN. (Don't ask me how they just DO)

 

[Tisch]

What a weird arrangement of pianos

And they're not even on fire ffs.

 

[lolly]

Those pianos seem particularly incongruous on that stage

 

[dmlaw]

The presenters just don't care at all do they? Why didn't anyone Irish up their preshow Horlicks?

SNEAKY C-

Wait, wrong thread.

 

[Iguana]

I like how they showed lovely Irish farm animals roaming freely in one postcard, and then people eating big slabs of meat in the next one

 

[Tisch]

This is lovely actually

 

[lolly]

You can tell the cameraman doesn't like grass on the pitch

 

[dmlaw]

And they're not even on fire ffs.

The pianos or the performers? I'd be down for either.

 

[Iguana]

Those pianos seem particularly incongruous on that stage

Good social distancing though

 

[COB]

The daughter seems happy to be there, but the mother looks like she's washing a tramp's dick.

 

[win_the_game]

God they look SO GERMAN. (Don't ask me how they just DO)

BLONDE MULLETS and BLUE EYES are a dead give away.

 

[Tisch]

I feel like the daughter has more TALANT than her mother and probably feels the wrath of her HARSH EAST GERMAN upbringing for it.

[Pingu]

Is Siegel Eurovision's most prolific songwriter?

By quite some way, but if you include national final entries, G:Son passed 100 this year.

 

[lolly]

Hands in pockets? Fuck off

 

[COB]

Was that CHRIS DE BURGH?

 

[dmlaw]

Grand old man? He was 37.

Dead now, of course.

 

[Madison]

This is torture.

 

[lolly]

That makes Salvador Sobral's suit look well tailored.

 

[Tisch]

He wouldn't be out of place at the workings man pub in Basildon on a Wednesday. They both sound like they're doing the karaoke on fact.

 

[D5K]

This is torture.

Yes but still better than ireland

 

[COB]

That makes Salvador Sobral's suit look well tailored.

His torso looks like a bell!

 

[win_the_game]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, German really isn't a language for singing.

 

[Pingu]

OK so halfway through I have to wonder why on EARTH this was chosen as an official rewatch...

Is it just because of Celine? Or because the voting is slightly exciting? It certainly wasn't because of the charismatic hosts.

Apparently the eurovision.tv team had an absolute nightmare trying to get the broadcast up to scratch too. All for Lisa Mona Lisa?

 

[lolly]

Someone at least please tell me he's dead now

 

[Tisch]

Someone at least please tell me he's dead now

DEAD

 

[dmlaw]

He wouldn't be out of place at the workings man pub in Basildon on a Wednesday.

With the main difference that you would put a quid in a pint mug to get him to keep his top ON.

[Iguana]

Your ear won't save you now

 

[Tisch]

Has anyone else that pregnant ever graced the stage? I know about this lady and Katie Price...

 

[Iguana]

FINALLY BOOB RATE

 

[COB]

Hot Eyes?! And she's PREG? I'm already in!

 

[Iguana]

Wow what a lovely pineapple she has on her head

 

[Tisch]

She looks like a HOUSE PLANT
