[ButterTart]

5. Bonnie St. Claire - Fantasie Eiland - 1982 - Netherlands
Beaten by: Bill van Dijk - Jij en ik

 

[ButterTart]

Going back to Medieval times for this absolute bop. It's the sort of song @Ag would come third with in ASFM.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The only thing worse than Old Eurovision songs is Old Eurovision rejects...

 

[Tisch]

Hang on, this is literally I Love You Baby!

 

[Madíson]

This is more like it. Phew.

 

[ButterTart]

Hang on, this is literally I Love You Baby!

By The Original?

 

[Saltwater]

Brave lipstick choice

 

[COB]

Wouldn't come home to HER with a burst pay packet, let's just say that.

 

[ButterTart]

Wouldn't come home to HER with a burst pay packet, let's just say that.

I think she's just had a Snickers.

 

[Madíson]

Knowing the Netherlands, Bonnie St. Claire presumably has a wacky real name.

 

[Tisch]

By The Original?

I wanna say Andy Williams?

 

[ButterTart]

Knowing the Netherlands, Bonnie St. Claire presumably has a wacky real name.

Claire St. Bonnnie.

 

[dmlaw]

I listen to people singing in Dutch and I just think it sounds so close to being in English.

 

[Alla]

Sonja Slut

 

[Madíson]

This sounds like "C'est la vie" by those old Swedish birds 20 years later.

 

[ButterTart]

Sonja Aldén - Sluta aldrig gå - 2020 - Sweden
Beaten by: The Mamas - Move

 

[Soldi]

The only thing worse than Old Eurovision songs is Old Eurovision rejects...

 

[Alla]

I listen to people singing in Dutch and I just think it sounds so close to being in English.

Same for me with Italian/Spanish. And for half of Moopy who thinks it's the same language.

 

[ButterTart]

She's 6'3" and loves off-brand Pokemon, it's Sonja Alden

 

[Alla]

I love Sonja, but this song is far from the best of MF, sorry.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I watched this Melfest and have no recollection of this song whatsoever

 

[win_the_game]

Love her transformation from Jane McDonald into JESUS at the end.

 

[Saltwater]

The dress needed to be sleeveless on both sides.

 

[Soldi]

I watched this Melfest and have no recollection of this song whatsoever

I think she finished FIFTH in her heat which is probably WHY

 

[ButterTart]

Hera Björk - Someday - 2009 - Denmark
Beaten by: Niels Brinck - Believe Again

 

[Alla]

Oh Someday! I totally forgot about this one, Saw her live back in the day singing this, love it.

 

[Iguana]

Oh I always enjoy her

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This better have a banger reveal

 

[D5K]

Hera Björk - Someday - 2009 - Denmark
Beaten by: Niels Brinck - Believe Again

On second thoughts maybe it doesn't help telling us what beat them

 

[COB]

There we go!

 

[Tisch]

HERA BJORK IS ON YOUR SCREENS


AGAIN, HERA BJORK IS ON YOUR SCREENS

 

[Alla]

Best one so far, I'm not here for soppy ballads tonight sorry.

 

[Iguana]

Such a proficient vocalist

 

[Soldi]

Thank god she lost this and came back the following year with JE NE SAIS QUOI

TACK DANEMARK

 

[Madíson]

What a hideous change in style! What on earth was that?!

 

[Alla]

This managed to finished second, not bad for an Icelandic singer.

 

[Tisch]

Thank god she lost this and came back the following year with JE NE SAIS QUOI

TACK DANEMARK

WE COULD HAVE HAD BOTH

 

[ButterTart]

Thank god she lost this and came back the following year with JE NE SAIS QUOI

TACK DANEMARK

I wish she'd done BOTH, Danish Ronan Keating was the international franchise nobody wanted.

 

[OutSynk]

It sounds like a Christmas song

 

[Soldi]

What a hideous change in style! What on earth was that?!

There’s ALWAYS one
