Eurovision Rewatch: Kyiv 2005 - 20.00 GMT tonight (28/3)

[VoR]

This is fab but my eyes are really drawn to the DENIM

 

[Penelope]

QUEEN!

10 Hungary
07 United Kingdom
08 Malta
09 Romania

 

[lolly]

DEAD

 

[octophone]

Y'know it's not necessarily faux if it comes from a country where these instruments are actually popular, right?

It's not that, it was just so obviously a synth setting.

 

[dmlaw]

She didn't seem quite sure about what key it was about to go into.

 

[D5K]

OMG WIGWAM.

 

[VoR]

What a SHOUTY BANGER

Romania 10/10

 

[FetchFugly]

The marching on the spot dancing

I feel quite exhausted after listening to that.

 

[lolly]

SHIT OFF

 

[D5K]

I wanted this to win at the time purely as a “fuck you” after Selma getting knocked out

 

[Beverley]

Um...

 

[Alla]

Oh I love this one too.

 

[Raining on Me]

Holy fuck what a start! Nothing below 8/10 yet (well maybe poor Javine)

Romania what happened they used to be INCREDIBLE

 

[Dark Carnival]

How cheap are these outfits from Norway?

 

[Penelope]

WHAT are these interim VTs about?

OMG I know it's a sin but I fucking LOVE THIS ONE TOO

 

[VoR]

This really is the year of the TRIUMPHANT CLOSING AIR PUNCH isn't it?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Not hating this!

 

[ButterTart]

Let Me Try followed by In My Dreams. Fuck, 2005 was an excellent choice.

 

[Beverley]

SHIT OFF

EXACTLY

 

[Penelope]

How cheap are these outfits from Norway?

His DISGUSTING BULGE THREATENING TO POKE OUT AT ANY MOMENT!

 

[win_the_game]

This glam rock Bon Jovi shite can FUCK RIGHT OFF. It has no place in Eurovision.

 

[VoR]

For what it is, I quite enjoy WigWam.

There's been FAR FAR worse in this genre.

 

[octophone]

Oh get fucked. The Darkness were shit and I blame them for this.

 

[D5K]

This is just paving the way for Lordi isn’t it?

 

[Beverley]

I was gonna say, that wig was a choice

Then I saw the bandana

 

[dmlaw]

That silver spandex sure is working hard.

 

[ButterTart]

He looks like a thin Sam Bailey.

 

[VoR]

He does have a look of the Noel Fieldings though, doesn't he?

 

[Beverley]

His DISGUSTING BULGE THREATENING TO POKE OUT AT ANY MOMENT!

Desperate filth

 

[Penelope]

Look, as glam rock goes this really is the peak

Just imagine Nina Söderqvist smelling like ROTTING MACKEREL IN A BINBAG IN SUMMER screaming her way through this!

 

[octophone]

The guitar's headgear is a bit SUSPECT.

 

[lolly]

This glam rock Bon Jovi shite can FUCK RIGHT OFF. It has no place in Eurovision.

And yet two years later, we tried sending The Darkness

 

[Dark Carnival]

His DISGUSTING BULGE THREATENING TO POKE OUT AT ANY MOMENT!

 

[ButterTart]

This is legitimately one of my favourite Eurovision songs of all time.

 

[Penelope]

KEY CHANGE!

 

[win_the_game]

He does have a look of the Noel Fieldings though, doesn't he?

Before or after the crack habit?

 

[D5K]

Oh and a key change too

 

[Penelope]

This is legitimately one of my favourite Eurovision songs of all time.

MINE TOO BT, NO SHAME

 

[octophone]

He does have a look of the Noel Fieldings though, doesn't he?

Shame it wasn't him. The lyrics would have been about actual wigwams. And eels.

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, another dodgy key change. Loving these.
