Eurovision Rewatch: Oslo, 1996 - 20.00 GMT tonight (01/04)

[win_the_game]

Mid-90s Poland were pretty decent.

 

[Tisch]

This contest was very BOTTO HALF loaded! (Apart from this one)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Has anyone else ever peaked like Poland on their first go?

 

[Penelope]

Mid-90s Poland were pretty decent.

It's no Ale jestem (AND WE SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING 1997 NOW)

 

[ButterTart]

I once accidentally set fire to a nursery that doubled as a refuge for nervous geese. The deathly screams from within were still more pleasant than that Icelandic song.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Not bad really.

[VoR]

Was this the SUUS of the 90s?

 

[Tisch]

I went for a loo and drink break during Iceland so I might skip Bosnia and watch them instead owing to the COMMENTS

It's no Ale jestem (AND WE SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING 1997 NOW)

I prefer SAMA actually (BUT YES)

 

[Penelope]

Was this the SUUS of the 90s?

I was JUST THINKING

 

[Penelope]

Ooh, never knew the DALAI LAMA was Bosnian

 

[dmlaw]

They mostly seem to be trying to avoid showing the bomb damage in the Bosnian postcard but every now and then just think 'fuck it'.

 

[Madison]

Has anyone else ever peaked like Poland on their first go?

Hungary 1994 is still their best perfomance.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Bosnian postcard. Literally filmed in a war.

 

[Penelope]

Literally going into every single one of the last few expecting the entry from 1997 and being grossly disappointed every time

 

[Penelope]

Still, Elvira's looking well.

 

[Kevin]

@Kevin will have to confirm, but I believe this one was a HUGE hit in The Netherlands.

True! Is was the biggest hit for a Dutch entry since 1975 and Birds was the first entry that did better.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who the fuck recommend this dog shit year? So very few peaks.

 

[win_the_game]

I assume she gave herself that haircut, on account of the war.

 

[Soldi]

These last few songs are dragging a fair bit

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No pity points from me. I know there was a war on, but at least write a tune.

we MUST do 1997 next for GOODBYE (OH OH OH OH!)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Well I guess we had to tackle some shit at some point.

 

[Penelope]

we MUST do 1997 next for GOODBYE (OH OH OH OH!)

YES! JUSTICE 4 ALMA

[Penelope]

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh dear fucking Christ.

 

[Suomi]

I feel like I haven’t heard one memorable tune in about twenty-five minutes

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Can we rewatch 9/11 after this, just so I can feel cleansed of the horror?

 

[Penelope]

He looked pretty good (and surprisingly on trend NOW) at the time, but the years have not been kind

[Tisch]

"president of the presidency" sounds like such a wartime BULLSHIT title. (Sorry I'm behind now)
