Eurovision Rewatch: Madrid 1969 (20:00 BST)

[dmlaw]

Herve Roy conducting. I assume he’s Lesley’s grandad.

 

[D5K]

Did they just specifically announce who is playing the accordion?!

 

[Tisch]

Why is there a teenage boy on my screen please?

 

[Iguana]

Oh not children.

 

[D5K]

Well this is awkward

According to the YouTube chat:

Salome's dress was designed by Pertegaz, it was made of porcelain and weighted 14 kg, plus 3 kg of necklaces

Well there you are.

 

[Iguana]

Dead by 17 of course.

 

[dmlaw]

They were right to ban children from the contest and to exile them off to Paedovision.

 

[Tisch]

He's quite good actually. The Heather Small voice is a tad disconcerting though.

 

[GinAg (39)]

He's 13 there and still alive.

 

[D5K]

But still not as creepy as Axel Hirsoux

 

[dmlaw]

It’s jaunty, in an unforgivable sort of way.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Horrible and creepy mind.

 

[Tisch]

Have any Monégasque natives actually ever represented Monaco please?

 

[D5K]

I enjoyed that far too much

 

[Iguana]

Thank fuck for Junior Eurovision, distracting the paedos from the main thing.

 

[Tisch]

Also: trying to imagine this in English with the child singing "MUMMY MUMMY"

 

[Iguana]

I enjoyed that far too much

Thank fuck for Junior Eurovision, distracting the paedos from the main thing.

Unfortunate sequencing.

 

[dmlaw]

Have any Monégasque natives actually ever represented Monaco please?

Nope. One of them acquired citizenship (much) later.

 

[GinAg (39)]

HOLY FUCK

 

[Madíson]

30 Yugoslavia
37 Luxembourg
80 Spain
42 Monaco

 

[GinAg (39)]

She's a sort.

 

[Tisch]

HOLY FUCK

Well she's obviously having a LOVELY TIME

 

[dmlaw]

That’s an unfortunate shade of green. The perils of being Irish.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She went onto become a LASER THERAPIST

 

[Tisch]

The costume designer: "hmm... You're Irish. So green with a big CROSS across your tits, okay?"

 

[Iguana]

She's no Lesley Roy

 

[Tisch]

She's no Lesley Roy

WHO IS?

 

[GinAg (39)]

This whole show is like it's from a different planet.

 

[Iguana]

What IS that red thing in the backdrop of the set?

 

[Tisch]

Oop, I feel like we're getting serious now.

 

[GinAg (39)]

What's grey, gold and red all over?

THE FUCKING STAGE

 

[Madíson]

30 Yugoslavia
37 Luxembourg
80 Spain
42 Monaco
52 Ireland

 

[Tisch]

She's literally in a RED WIG AND SILVER DRESS

 

[Iguana]

Wearing grey against a grey background is a choice

 

[dmlaw]

This is rather nice. I suspect that @Soldi would like it a lot.

 

[win_the_game]

This one's still alive. Trying and failing to compete in Sanremo every year.

 

[Tisch]

This one's still alive. Trying and failing to compete in Sanremo every year.

Was she the one that got literally wheeled out this year!

 

[Tisch]

N.B. would love to hear her take on Zitti e Buoni

 

[GinAg (39)]

She used to present The Price is Right.
