Eurovision Rewatch: Madrid 1969 (20:00 BST)

[GinAg (39)]

LULU ALERT

 

[Iguana]

The bored audience gets me every time in these earlier shows

 

[win_the_game]

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

That was Orietta Berti.

There's always one OLDER WOMAN in the competition. Maybe next year will be her time

 

[dmlaw]

The face of EVIL.

 

[Tisch]

okay, I think I realise now.

 

[Iguana]

This show really should have come with a warning

 

[D5K]

Well if Moopy likes Jessie J now then maybe Lulu has a chance?

 

[dmlaw]

You have never known horror until you have seen L*l* trying to flirt with the camera.

Later she told John Peel; "I know it's a rotten song, but I won, so who cares? I'd have sung "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" standing on my head if that's what it took to win.... I am just so glad I didn't finish second like all the other Brits before me, that would have been awful." Despite her dislike it is her second biggest UK hit to date, reaching number 2 on the chart in 1969.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I quite like her dress tbf.

 

[win_the_game]

I see she dropped the Scottish accent for Eurovision. It makes an appearance whenever it suits her.

 

[Tisch]

Who's on deathwatch? @dmlaw?

 

[Madíson]

Lulu is very much alive.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Who's on deathwatch? @dmlaw?

I'm looking. They're mostly alive

 

[dmlaw]

Who's on deathwatch? @dmlaw?

Lulu is still alive. My bomb didn’t go off.

 

[Tisch]

Later she told John Peel; "I know it's a rotten song, but I won, so who cares? I'd have sung "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" standing on my head if that's what it took to win....

[dmlaw]

Having to sing in Dutch is such a handicap.

 

[Iguana]

I like this folksy trash

 

[GinAg (39)]

Yeah I kinda like. Very 60s in its way.

 

[Tisch]

Ms. Netherlands sounds like she's singing the word CUNT a lot which isn't surprising giving what's preceded her.

 

[GinAg (39)]

To think man hadn't landed on the Moon yet.

Or at least pretended to.

 

[Tisch]

Having to sing in Dutch is such a handicap.

It really is the absolute worst western European language. That and all the Scandinavian ones.

 

[dmlaw]

She seems to have switched to singing the winning entry from 1968.

 

[Madíson]

Nearly every entry plays with the tempo.

 

[Tisch]

Spain are running a very seamless show. They should be applauded. No hilarious shambles yet (but I'm waiting...)

[Tisch]

Trying to imagine what this would have best to win the 1969 Melodifestivalen. Eva and Ewa were there PRESUMABLY.

 

[Iguana]

He's joyless but the song's actually quite nice

 

[GinAg (39)]

This guy is alive and is married to someone called Anne-Charlotte Nilsson.

 

[Madíson]

I love this man.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This guy is alive and is married to someone called Anne-Charlotte Nilsson.

I don't think they're related

 

[Iguana]

 

[Tisch]

Omg did they just say this is Mr Naef?

 

[GinAg (39)]

KEY DEATH ALERT!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Died in 1980 in a car accident.

I have no real problem with the Scandinavian languages, but Finnish is awful, of course.
