Eurovision Rewatch: Luxembourg City, 1984 (00:00 BST / 01:00 CEST, 3 May 2020)

[ButterTart]

VHS FREEZE

It's gonna cut off altogether and we'll just get the last ten minutes of an episode of The Onedin Line.

Soldi has no idea what any of this means.

 

[Soldi]

Don't forget to join in on the booing when the UK eventually perform.

Why woz it brexit?

 

[dmlaw]

This irritating bitch is actually a bit of a fox. @dmlaw to check whether I've just set off an Amber alert by saying that.

About a month short of twenty at the time of the contest, so you're fine.

 

[ButterTart]

You're fine. 20 here.

Splendid.

 

[Raining on Me]

I'm half watching but this occasionally off key second song is truly mesmerizing

Also what a horrible, almost deliberately damaging backing/stage, but I suppose that's a moot point when talking about certain Eurovisions

 

[GinAg (39)]

This French song is taking unexpected turns

 

[ButterTart]

About a month short of twenty at the time of the contest, so you're fine.

Bit old, if anything.

 

[VoR]

This one's only four years older than the baby-voiced Luxembourger.

You'd guess at least 15, wouldn't you?

 

[ButterTart]

About a month short of twenty at the time of the contest, so you're fine.

What about this one?

 

[win_the_game]

Are all French-speaking women this SHRILL?

 

[lolly]

Oh dear, an off year for France

 

[GinAg (39)]

She reminds me of Sherry Pie.

 

[Soldi]

What about this one?

98

 

[Lucille]

This one's only four years older than the baby-voiced Luxembourger.

You'd guess at least 15, wouldn't you?

There’s a whiff of JACKIE COX about her.

 

[Raining on Me]

These are all at least 8/10s so far

 

[Madíson]

Annick's wikipedia page is two sentences long.

 

[ButterTart]

98

Oh, this one's more for our Zu then.

 

[Lucille]

Are all French-speaking women this SHRILL?

Wait till you here DCs speaking voice

 

[GinAg (39)]

There’s a whiff of JACKIE COX about her.

I'm sticking with Sherry!

 

[Dark Carnival]

These are all at least 8/10s so far

REALLY?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Rough.

 

[lolly]

I'm sure I can see all her veins

Love the MS PAINT graphics.

 

[VoR]

Did I just see FULL VAG?!

 

[COB]

These DIGITAL VIRTUAL EFFECTS

 

[dmlaw]

Annick's wikipedia page is two sentences long.

One of those sentences is not terribly coherent either.

 

[Soldi]

I PRESUME 1984 doesn’t live up to the HEIGHTS of the previous year. Maybe Orwell was right?

 

[Alla]

Oh Spain, one of those very rare occasions you got it totally right!
