NO SPOILERS!!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That one note was PRETTY ROUGH but on the whole not as bad as we're lead to believe.

 

[VoR]

Was this jury only? Is that what hurt it DO WE THINK?

Undoubtedly. The fact that it went on to be a global smash while (spoiler alert) the winning song did nothing was a major motivating factor in the switch to televoting.

OMG REINDEER GREYHOUND RACING

 

[ameraal]

may '96 i was completing my first year in high school back in my home country after living abroad for a few years.

i have just been introduced to alcohol and am madly and unhappily in love with my classmate who is born on the same date as me but a year earlier. he is a pothead, a poor student, a dog and a player but we gradually become friends and in a couple of years almost go all the way. we're still friends, he's expecting his first child.

i have little idea what eurovision is but i love ooh aah just a little bit. still do!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They couldn't have hidden someone behind the piano to sing it for her?

There WAS a backing singer!

I can't believe that Gina reached No. 12 in the US.
