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

They aren't even pretending that he's actually singing this.

 

[Alla]

Another PISS BREAK.

 

[Beverley]

Is this that revolution one?

 

[Penelope]

Instagram update for Martin Vučić please.

LOCKED!

 

[VoR]

YIPEE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Everyone was orange and stained in 2005.

 

[Alla]

This is how New Kids On the Block will sound in their 2040 Reunion.

 

[lolly]

Did Daz Sampson die for this?

 

[ButterTart]

What in the name of buggery is happening here? Am I having a fever dream because of the Corona or is this performance happening?

 

[octophone]

Christ - blokes doing a rap over the Smells Like Teen Spirit riff played 33rpm.

 

[dmlaw]

The state of this lot. It's nice to know that putting zero effort into the host song was already a thing in 2005.

 

[Penelope]

SPOILERS: five years later the revolution was overturned and then nine years later 100 people were killed by the state in Kiev's main square. Now the Ukrainian president is a former comedian. Also this did really badly.

 

[Dark Carnival]

We get it, Ukraine, you don't want to host again

 

[D5K]

I’m sensing that the good songs were front-loaded in this year

 

[Madison]

Should have been Ani Lorak.

Добрий вечір, Moopy!

 

[Alla]

I didn't realise before they sing a few lines in Spanish

 

[D5K]

These postcards all make Ukraine look rubbish

 

[lolly]

Well that bodes weĺl

 

[octophone]

We get it, Ukraine, you don't want to host again

Oh YEAH! It was a bit "My Lovely Horse".

 

[Madison]

Hooray - more drums.

 

[dmlaw]

They could have played this to Crimea and asked if they were sure they wanted to be Ukrainean.

OMG this German one that only made it to Eurovision because her manager RIGGED THE CHARTS

 

[AGinAg (37)]

You know I don't remember watching ANY OF THIS AT ALL.

 

[ButterTart]

Now I LOVED this catastrophe back in the day. She barely sounds like she's managing the chorus in studio form, it was an utter shithouse live.

 

[dmlaw]

I think I just heard the commentator say Evanescence. That's a concern.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I prefer the first half of the show!

 

[lolly]

What is going on with her vocal?

 

[Beverley]

TRASH

 

[Madison]

There was some sort of corruption scandal with this one. The producer (?) bought thousands of copies to make sure it qualified for the German pre-selection.

 

[Generic Account]

Was this a post Evanescence world?

Oh never mind it's nothing similar.

 

[win_the_game]

Now I LOVED this catastrophe back in the day.

Snap!

 

[Alla]

I need something good before I fall asleep.

 

[Penelope]

This is very I'M GOING TO COLLEGE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND IT'S 1994 AND I CAN'T BUY THIS ON SINGLE BUT IT'S ALWAYS ON THE RADIO

 

[ButterTart]

I think I just heard the commentator say Evanescence. That's a concern.

I heard him say Nightwish as well.

 

[Generic Account]

That key change

 

[D5K]

Is this still going?

 

[VoR]
