Eurovision Rewatch: Kyiv 2005 (19/09 20.00 BST)

[lolly]

Right, which is the dead one?

 

[dmlaw]

@Pingu just disallowed me to give this an 11. BAN HIM

I hope you mean Switzerland rather than Latvia. If not, it might be you that gets banned.

 

[Tisch]

Pouilly Fuissé

Sounds noice

 

[ButterTart]

@Pingu just disallowed me to give this an 11. BAN HIM

Done. As long as you're talking about Vanilla Ninja, I mean.
If you're talking about this Latvian shite then I'm banning YOU.

 

[Soldi]

Right, which is the dead one?

BOTH I think!

 

[ButterTart]

Latvia were utterly fucking disgusting.

Now here's one of my favourite French efforts. Song's not bad either.

 

[Soldi]

FRANCE ain’t too bad

 

[ButterTart]

FRANCE ain’t too bad

I thought this was the bee's bollocks at the time. The performance is a lot ropier than I remember, mind.

 

[Alex]

Sounds noice

It’s different, unusual.

(Picked up on my hols )

 

[dmlaw]

Do we get a recap? Looks like there was televoting this year.

 

[Alex]

I wish it wasn't called 'Cool Vibes' because I want a name like that to be a tropical banger served by Margaret or similar.

And now back to Earth with a dirge from the finalists of Miss Lesbian Latvia 2005.

I don’t remember from the time but LOVE it

 

[ButterTart]

I was struggling to think who the male host reminds me of. I've settled on one part Julian Clary, two parts Christopher Dean.

 

[Soldi]

Shouty lady to FUCK OFF AND DIE

 

[ButterTart]

Had any of these people heard English spoken aloud before this?

 

[Soldi]

at her being CUT OFF

 

[Lucille]

Ooooooh I missed the Chiara wink the first time round! What a minx!

 

[ButterTart]

Ah shit, I forgot this was the year Chiara sent a good song.

Germany would have got a higher mark if she was remotely capable of singing the song properly. That is its only weak point.

 

[Lucille]

Is the mid show entertainment really more depressing montages of Ukraine?

She sounds shit even on the studio version. Still a mint song.

[ButterTart]

"YOU can not what anymore"

Such wise words, delivered with such chilling aggression.

 

[ButterTart]

Switzerland smashing the Moopy vote, except for noted contrarian @Win_the_game.

 

[dmlaw]

It feels like this gymnast fella may have given Dima Bilan (gay) some of his worst ideas.

@Suomi. He's escaped from the cupboard and didn't even give Switzerland their high marks. Take care of this.
