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

[Alla]

Oh, I thought they were switching to a better song.

 

[Penelope]

Also shout-out to the woman on bridge vox, who is this queen from Greece's 1995 entry which was basically a three minute EXTENDED DISS against Macedonia

 

[octophone]

Definite hint of someone who would be killed on Grindr has he been born 20 years later.

 

[Madison]

This queen is another 1998 veteran, right?

1996 (and 2002)

 

[Beverley]

Where is the cohesion in their outfits FFS

 

[win_the_game]

Straight out of G-A-Y Paphos.

 

[lolly]

10 Hungary
05 United Kingdom
08 Malta
10 Romania
02 Norway
07 Turkey
04 Moldova
09 Albania
06 Cyprus

 

[octophone]

I like the way he just gave up and shouted the last bit.

 

[Penelope]

 

[Alla]

Oh dear...

 

[lolly]

He has the look of someone whose hairline is not going to have held up well.

I also imagine he lives life these days heavily corseted.

 

[D5K]

Oh dear

 

[Dark Carnival]

I just can't get over how different to 1998 this is!

 

[Dark Carnival]

WHAT?!! LAST KETCHUP?!! !!!

 

[Raining on Me]

You can see how Javine, despite being in our top 4 entries in 20 years, was screwed even at this point. Second on, and about fifty similar sounding and mostly better versions of her song on the same night.

 

[Beverley]

This is such tuneless trash but I fucking love it

 

[lolly]

I just can't get over how different to 1998 this is!

It does feel like about TWO DECADES, doesn't it?

 

[ButterTart]

Ah this was during that period where Spain basically sent the same song about four times in a row. Bless.

 

[Madison]

Is there a blind man dancing in the background?

 

[lolly]

Who doesn't love a ropey Spanish woman?

 

[Penelope]

Oh good LORD, this Spanish one is like someone SHAT IN THE SANGRIA

 

[octophone]

The fuck?? Is this Los Ketchup or whatever they were called?

 

[Beverley]

The sound effects giving me loife

 

[win_the_game]

Las Ketchup have aged TERRIBLY.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What a messy amphetamine driven year

 

[octophone]

This has the air of a hen night that went tits up.

 

[ButterTart]

Is there a blind man dancing in the background?

They were keeping him in the wings for the most pointless guest vocal in history.

 

[Alla]

God thid is so cheap

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'm not angry about this really!

 

[VoR]

The fuck?? Is this Los Ketchup or whatever they were called?

No, though obviously that's what they're going for.

They sent actual Las Ketchup in 2006 with a far worse song.

 

[Beverley]

Tomato Sauce are giving me very Bette Midler in Hocus Pocus energy, but with sparkly folk dresses

 

[lolly]

This has the air of a hen night that went tits up.

I need to be the token gay on that hen do.

 

[dmlaw]

Who doesn't love a ropey Spanish woman?

I know that Alla really likes it when you edit videos of a ropey Spanish woman into his posts.

 

[D5K]

-1000 that guy

 

[VoR]

I actually like this a lot, as cynical as it is.

OMG at the stage invading bouncers!

 

[win_the_game]

They sent actual Las Ketchup in 2006 with a far worse song.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH

 

[AGinAg (37)]

THIS IS NOT LAS KETCHUP

 

[octophone]

That was just sinister.

 

[Beverley]

WHAS NEXT

 

[Penelope]

Good grief that was FOUL

I imagine Kala was hollering away in the crowd at the time nonetheless
