Eurovision rewatch 8th April (20:00 BST): Riga 2003

[Suomi]

She’s got the look of someone who would tell on the others to the producers though


“I didn’t want to have to do this but i think those Russian girls are smoking”

 

[D5K]

I mean it's SHITE but it's not THAT BAD. Is it?

That's the thing with this year - even the bad songs are nice enough. Generally.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Even San Marino don't dare to send stuff like THIS nowadays!

 

[GinAg (39)]

05 Iceland
05 Austria
08 Ireland
10 Turkey
06 Malta

 

[Raining on Me]

Sertab's vocal seems a touch questionable in places as well. I think I'll blame it on YouTube.

I mean, I fucking adore it, but it's amazing that at, song number 4 and with the wobbly vox she got anywhere NEAR the top (although very glad she did )

I imagine it would fair FAR worse in recent times. But what a fucking song! And the performance made up for everything!

 

[Soldi]

08 Iceland
01 Austria
03 Ireland
100,000 Turkey
04 Malta

 

[Penelope]

My day job would suddenly become 25% easier.

Which is worse - Malta, Armenia or Cyprus?

 

[VoR]

That Maltese entry obviously makes a lot more sense if you know what happened in 2002.

 

[Kala]

So, this year was one of the last where they had SPEAKERS instead of IN EAR monitors. Each country had a choice of to use speakers or in ear. They stop working later. ALL will become apparent.

 

[Suomi]

Let me tell you something Moopy.org.uk, this hard-faced Bosnian bitch is absolutely SOMETHING ELSE! Just lie down with your hands behind your back!

 

[Penelope]

Oh I LOVE this utterly rancid Sex Bomb rehash

 

[VoR]

Which is worse - Malta, Armenia or Cyprus?

I don't do Cyprus, but the Maltese are actually lovely and very easy to work with.

It's the GREEKS who are ABSOLUTE FUCKING ARSEHOLES.

 

[ButterTart]

I wish there was a MUTE WOGAN function on all Eurovision videos.

 

[Lucille]

Ooooh it’s BENSON & HEDGES.

 

[win_the_game]

This is nowhere near as good as I remember.

 

[Madíson]

BABY

 

[Kala]

My best LESBO friend had this as her favourite. How PREDIC

 

[GinAg (39)]

I mean, I fucking adore it, but it's amazing that at, song number 4 and with the wobbly vox she got anywhere NEAR the top (although very glad she did )

I imagine it would fair FAR worse in recent times. But what a fucking song! And the performance made up for everything!

She's inviting an entire continent to cum in her face. She deserves to do well.

 

[lolly]

That's the thing with this year - even the bad songs are nice enough. Generally.

That song was NICE in the VERY WORST SENSE of the word

 

[D5K]

BABY

I just instinctively did that too.

 

[Penelope]

I don't do Cyprus, but the Maltese are actually lovely and very easy to work with.

It's the GREEKS who are ABSOLUTE FUCKING ARSEHOLES.

Greece, Cyprus, it's ALL THE SAME

 

[dmlaw]

I don't do Cyprus, but the Maltese are actually lovely and very easy to work with.

It's the GREEKS who are ABSOLUTE FUCKING ARSEHOLES.

At least the Greeks won't get you taken away by the secret police if the Contest is ever again in Azerbaijan.

 

[ButterTart]

Yes, the writers of Sex Bomb should sue Bosnia, in the same way Bruce Springsteen should sue the Fast Food Rockers for plagiarising Born to Run.

 

[Penelope]

God this absolutely DISGUSTING funk guitar underneath! The sinister men on BV duties in the darkness! Her FOUL FRUGGING!

LOVE THIS

 

[Kala]

So the SWITCH to English was AU FAIT back in 2003, there are a few more who have this

 

[VoR]

This is very "overconfident account manager hits the karaoke before staggering home with the boss"

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've not had enough lesbian sex to properly enjoy this. 11

 

[ButterTart]

Shave the chin down a bit love, then we'll talk.

 

[Soldi]

I could DIE FOR YOU TOO LOVE

 

[Kala]

TRIPLE KEY FUCKING CHANGE

 

[lolly]

I miss the old days when they would slip in an odd English verse or chorus and you'd never even notice.

 

[Madíson]

MORE KEY CHANGES

 

[Penelope]

HIDEOUS double key change!!!

10 Iceland
04 Austria
07 Ireland
10 Turkey
03 Malta
08 Bosnia

 

[Suomi]

The camera shots this year are happily free of pointless LONG SHOTS. I feel like I’m getting every subtle nuance of Mija Martina’s performance

 

[Lucille]

I hope the contest hasn’t shot it’s load too early with Turkey.

 

[lolly]

07 Iceland
04 Austria
02 Ireland
09 Turkey
02 Malta
08 Bosnia and Herzegovina

 

[GinAg (39)]

Apparently, Sertab is QUITE the Erdogan FANGIRL these days

 

[D5K]

Was this year peak key change? No wonder I love it so much
