Eurovision Rewatch: Kyiv 2005 (19/09 20.00 BST)

[VoR]

This month's Eurovision Again is one we watched back in March, but if you fancy doing it again in HD with no commentary, you're in luck!

 

[Lucille]

I can’t remember if I watched this they’re all a blur so I’m in.

 

[Soldi]

March felt about a decade ago.

 

[Lucille]

Oooooh I didn’t see this one!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

OMG I love 2005 SO MUCH, but I don't know if I can cope with committing to this tonight

 

[lolly]

I'm fairly certain ESC 2005 to March 2020 is less time than March 2020 to September 2020.

 

[dmlaw]

I wonder if we can manage more than 1277 replies tonight.

 

[win_the_game]

I've never been the biggest fan of 2005. The semi final was a GAY TRAGEDY.

 

[Iguana]

Good evening fellow Eurofans

 

[lolly]

Mr L has opted out, the cunt.

 

[Lucille]

Lucy is live and SOBER tonight.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Bonjour

 

[lolly]

Despite buying M&S fizz, I'm staying sober as well

 

[dUb]

QUEEN SHIRI with the most dUb-friendly entry of all time :emoji_kiss:

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm not drinking my own booze so I'm getting hammered!

 

[dmlaw]

I'm sober too. Well, I'm sober now.

*pours wine*

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I think this is before my time so all of this will be new to me!

 

[win_the_game]

Are you all seriously going to tackle this DRY?

 

[win_the_game]

This isn't a patch on Wild Dances yet it is basically the same song.

 

[Tisch]

Mr L has opted out, the cunt.

DIVORCE

 

[Tisch]

This isn't a patch on Wild Dances yet it is basically the same song.

I didn't realise it WASN'T

 

[dmlaw]

She had to undergo two hours of health and safety training to operate that flamethrower.

 

[lolly]

It's pretty much Wild Dances crossed with Bucks Fizz's New Beginning

 

[Soldi]

She had to undergo two hours of health and safety training to operate that flamethrower.

Shame it wasn’t facing THE OTHER WAY

 

[win_the_game]

That was just unpleasant

 

[ZenGiraffe]

She had to undergo two hours of health and safety training to operate that flamethrower.

I want to see the outtakes!

(Who was the UK TV presenter that got fireworked on live TV? I want to make the reference but I don't remember the details well enough)

 

[Lucille]

This presenter looks TWELVE.

 

[Soldi]

at the two people arguing in the background

 

[win_the_game]

WE ARE NOT FUCKING DEAF

 

[lolly]

I'm not sure I can endure her sober

 

[Lucille]

That dress is QUITE SOMETHING.

 

[win_the_game]

What the fuck is she wearing?

 

[Soldi]

Makes you wish Russia would INVADE

 

[dmlaw]

That dress makes her look like she's about to be captured by a dragon. It can keep her.

 

[Lucille]

Why would you not sort that mono brow out before going on the telly?

 

[win_the_game]

The MONOBROW.

 

[lolly]

This is one of my favourite contest openers EVER

 

[dmlaw]

Why would you not sort that mono brow out before going on the telly?

It's 2005. The monobrow was the height of fashion in Ukraine.

 

[dmlaw]

The other leg of her trousers was a casualty of Ruslana's flamethrower.

 

[lolly]

I seem to remember this was a favourite of David's, as well.
