Eurovision Rewatch: Rome 1991 (30/05 20:00)

[dmlaw]

I have never before noticed how much this man looks like Ian McShane in Lovejoy preparing for a court date.

 

[Iguana]

I mean - who does the full three minute version?!

He needs to take a page out of Loreen's book

 

[ButterTart]

The set looks like the PRINTWORKS at Manchester

Yeah I can see that.

 

[COB]

Imagine they just started bringing out the fucking acts to do their fucking songs.

 

[Madíson]

Oh he’s such a prick.

 

[D5K]

I mean - who does the full three minute version?!

Well you normally complain about Melodifestivalen butchering the previous winner with a "new" version so make your mind up

 

[Iguana]

So is Eurovision STARTING any time soon?

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, God, they're doing her winning song as well. No one wants to see that.

 

[Suomi]

Mrs Suomi and I are having a debate about whether the male presenter is attractive. what say you Moopy?

 

[Iguana]

Why are they not leaving this to the halftime show?!

 

[Soldi]

Well unsurprisingly I’m rather enjoying these extra CANZIONE’S

 

[D5K]

Fifteen minutes before the first song. You're right, this does feel more modern than some of the 90s contests.

 

[D5K]

Mrs Suomi and I are having a debate about whether the male presenter is attractive. what say you Moopy?

hahahahahahaha

 

[Soldi]

Mrs Suomi and I are having a debate about whether the male presenter is attractive. what say you Moopy?

It’s a NO from this whore

 

[ButterTart]

Oh, this arsehole in her Darling Buds Of May frock has decided to have a sing now as well? Silly of the rest of Europe to bother submitting anything if this pair were putting on a concert anyway.

 

[Madíson]

Mrs Suomi and I are having a debate about whether the male presenter is attractive. what say you Moopy?

It’s hard to tell with his Coronavirus haircut.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

3/10

 

[COB]

Don't forget that all the entries tonight are eligible to be covered for the Moopyvision Karaoke Contest, and it closes tomorrow at 6pm so there's still plenty of time!

 

[Tisch]

The presenters are just talking over each other! This is such a car crash!

 

[D5K]

Ciao? Are they finally fucking off?


Oh. No.

 

[Iguana]

The woman in the audience looking at her watch

 

[dmlaw]

I did not previously know that the translation of this song's title was 'I'm not old enough to love you'. And here I thought that Brotherhood Of Man had the ultimate Eurovision paedo anthem.

 

[D5K]

Why is the audience lighting so bright?!

 

[ButterTart]

Do they know the cameras are on?

 

[Soldi]

Don't forget that all the entries tonight are eligible to be covered for the Moopyvision Karaoke Contest, and it closes tomorrow at 6pm so there's still plenty of time!

And don’t forget, if you’ve not sent in your FESTIVAL DI SOLDI entry yet then GET A FUCKING MOVE ON.

 

[Madíson]

Still not a word of English.

 

[win_the_game]

Sanremo mention

 

[Iguana]

Flowers? Is it over?

 

[ButterTart]

Have I switched over to Wish You Were Here accidentally?

 

[Tisch]

I feel like I'm about to watch the Generation Game. oooohhhh a lovely three night stay in Sanremo!

 

[dmlaw]

Have I switched over to Wish You Were Here accidentally?

No. That would be entertaining.

 

[Soldi]

I did not previously know that the translation of this song's title was 'I'm not old enough to love you'. And here I thought that Brotherhood Of Man had the ultimate Eurovision paedo anthem.

Sounds a bit like MY ANTHEM

 

[Suomi]

This is an incredibly indulgent intro

 

[D5K]

Still not a word of English.

Good point. This really is just for the Italian audience isn't it?

 

[Iguana]

This is an incredibly indulgent intro

Self-indulgent to the MAX

 

[ButterTart]

I will be adding the Grecian Saxophone Catastrophe from this show to my disaster blog when I eventually get it up and running.

 

[Suomi]

Well I think he’s cute

It’s hard to tell with his Coronavirus haircut.

 

[ButterTart]

This fucking intro has been going on so long we're now watching Eurovision 1993.

 

[dmlaw]

Still not a word of English.

I think that last bit might have been something about his daughter's wedding day.

 

[Madíson]

Oh Baby Doll - maybe you should have picked a different cover.
