Eurovision Rewatch: Helsinki, 2007 (BST 20:00, 25.04)

[Zu]

ACCORDION!

 

[Kala]

This is SO fucking RIDICULOUS

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Welcome @ZenGiraffe!

I'm already regretting my choices.

 

[VoR]

Was there a GOTH REVIVAL in 2007 and I missed it?

Eurovision generally tends to be around 18 months behind popular culture, so what you're seeing here is a strong case of Evanescence hangover.

Similar to how in 2013 about 2/3 of the songs featured a dubstep wibble.

 

[ButterTart]

I bet she'd be an absolute bastard of a date.

I think this song sums Eurovision up more than any other. All of the elements are there.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg the lights!

 

[Apoca]

Everything about the Slovenian entry is bonkers.

I bet she leads children in the Slovenian forests back to her gingerbread house.

 

[dmlaw]

Hot but clearly terrifying. Don't tell her I said that.

 

[Beverley]

Is she serving patriarchy busting Jewish realness with the TEFILIN?

 

[AlgoAlex]

Well this song took an unexpected turn. i like it

 

[Penelope]

Love how you can see this performance is literally the greatest moment of her life, and then she just gets carried away with it in the second verse and starts shaking around like a drunk mum at karaoke

 

[Raining on Me]

This is making me sad, so many elements of "oh no we CAN'T DO/SEND THAT.." that you get nowadays.

 

[Tisch]

Her hand glow gimmick was akin to Brita's "magic trick" from last week's lip sync

 

[Penelope]

EAT YOUR SHIT OUT GRETA THUNBERG!

 

[octophone]

She's giving it her all!

I wish she'd give it about 59% less.

 

[COB]

Kylie STOLE this lights idea for Get Outta My Way!

 

[Alla]

Loving her Drag Race's Black wedding themed dress.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I absolutely love this.

 

[Raining on Me]

This is fucking GLORIOUS!

 

[Soldi]

She was on the same ward in the hospital getting her LED hand fitted when Kim Jong Un died

 

[Kala]

Love how you can see this performance is literally the greatest moment of her life, and then she just gets carried away with it in the second verse and starts shaking around like a drunk mum at karaoke

Isn't that what we would ALL do?

 

[octophone]

SHIT KEY CHANGE

DRINK

 

[Dark Carnival]

LIVING!!!

 

[Iguana]

Is she serving patriarchy busting Jewish realness with the TEFILIN?

Where Madonna leads, Slovenia follows

 

[Tisch]

Love how you can see this performance is literally the greatest moment of her life, and then she just gets carried away with it in the second verse and starts shaking around like a drunk mum at karaoke

You say that like it's a BAD THING

 

[Kala]

THREE key changes

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She's just happy to be there!

 

[Penelope]

Eurovision generally tends to be around 18 months behind popular culture, so what you're seeing here is a strong case of Evanescence hangover.

Ditto Lordi/Finland winning and this chic being the obvious female take, I'd guess

 

[Penelope]

06 Bosnia
07 Spain
09 Belarus

GOD THIS IS ALL SENSATIONAL

 

[FetchFugly]

She was SO PLEASED with the little light on her hand. I am not generally that keen on the Euro opera but I quite like this.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

03 Bosnia
07 Spain
09 Belarus

[Beverley]

Love how you can see this performance is literally the greatest moment of her life, and then she just gets carried away with it in the second verse and starts shaking around like a drunk mum at karaoke

I gag for that bit

 

[octophone]

I'm already regretting my choices.

Aren't we all? Welcome!

 

[Dark Carnival]

[Tisch]

She was on the same ward in the hospital getting her LED hand fitted when Kim Jong Un died

It's what she would've wanted x

 

[Alla]

That was everything

 

[Zu]

Slovenia very obviously the BEST SO FAR!

 

[VoR]

I hate this Hungarian one SO MUCH

They sent stuff like this far too often. GOOD RIDDANCE

 

[Beverley]

I DO BELIEVE that was the best POPERA song Eurovision has ever had.

 

[D5K]

The irony of this having a big prop that just says STOP

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ugh Hungary
