Eurovision rewatch: Belgrade 2008 (20/06, 20:00 BST)

[D5K]

They’re just having so much FUN on stage!

 

[dmlaw]

I don't really understand why Viktor Orban thinks that Eurovision is too gay with songs like this competing.

 

[D5K]

And I get goosebumps at that turn every single time

 

[D5K]

I don't really understand why Viktor Orban thinks that Eurovision is too gay with songs like this competing.

Why do you think I chose to be Hungary in FDS?

 

[dmlaw]

Realistically, Turkey is every bit as camp as Euroband.

 

[ButterTart]

Well, Eurovision 2008 is exactly the tonic I need after a stellar contest ending up with a boring winner.

Oh.

 

[D5K]

OMG I love this terrifying Portuguese lady

 

[dmlaw]

The contest will be won by Latvia this time. You wait and see.

 

[D5K]

Actually this could be my favourite ever Portuguese entry

 

[ButterTart]

The contest will be won by Latvia this time. You wait and see.

Oh God, I'd have paid good money for that. Have I missed them, by the way?

 

[dmlaw]

Actually this could be my favourite ever Portuguese entry

That's a bit like having to choose your favourite septic head wound.

 

[dmlaw]

Oh God, I'd have paid good money for that. Have I missed them, by the way?

They're on RIGHT NOW.

 

[ButterTart]

OH MY TITS HERE IT IS!

 

[ButterTart]

I always found the pirate woman quite foxy. She does look like she's been varnished, mind.

 

[dmlaw]

Utterly ramshackle in the most amazing possible way.

 

[ButterTart]

With a TWELVE TWELVE TWELVE
and a DOUZE DOUZE DOUZE

 

[ButterTart]

Utterly ramshackle in the most amazing possible way.

The foxy pirate lady?

 

[dmlaw]

The foxy pirate lady?

Her too.

 

[D5K]

I hated this at the time because I was worried it might win. Now I know the result I quite like it.

 

[ButterTart]

14255/10. What sort of PIG BASTARD booed that?

 

[D5K]

Oh strap yourselves in everyone!

 

[ButterTart]

Fucking Hell, what a run.

 

[win_the_game]

HERO

 

[win_the_game]

Glad I missed the German performance. Adore the song but don't think I could face that 3 minute mauling after the euphoric high finishing top ten in FdS.

 

[dmlaw]

Charlotte looks like she has been mummified somewhere between 1999 and here.

 

[D5K]

I think this has to be my favourite Eurovision song of all time.

 

[D5K]

Happy memories of the melodifestivalen final that year which is the first time I met various moopists

 

[ButterTart]

Charlotte looks like she has been mummified somewhere between 1999 and here.

Any more facelifts and she'll be wearing her kneecaps as a brooch.

 

[ButterTart]

I feel like they should have done 2008 a month ago. The moment's gone, Eurovision Again.

 

[VoR]

I am now older than Charlotte was when she gave that performance.

Sobering.

 

[ButterTart]

I am now older than Charlotte was when she gave that performance.

Sobering.

You're 73?!

 

[D5K]

I am now older than Charlotte was when she gave that performance.

Sobering.

Really?! That is worrying

 

[dmlaw]

I am now older than Charlotte was when she gave that performance.

Sobering.

Me too. By a few years. It's not sobering because I have wine.

 

[D5K]

I could look it up but how old was she?

 

[dmlaw]

This is still better than @Ag's shameless lie during last night's dance anthems thread about how 'What Is Love' came out 27 years ago.

 

[D5K]

I love piss will come too

 

[VoR]

I could look it up but how old was she?

33

 

[dmlaw]

I love piss will come too

Okay, now I can't unhear this.

 

[D5K]

33

Yikes!

 

[D5K]

Okay, now I can't unhear this.

Why do you think she needed an emergency costume change halfway through the song?
