Eurovision Rewatch: Copenhagen 2014 (27/06, 20:00 BST)

[D5K]

The stage really works on this one

 

[GinAg (39)]

I love this Greek entry. What a legit banger!

 

[Madíson]

Love it

 

[D5K]

This is at least the first FUN BANGER of the night.

 

[ButterTart]

This is a great performance, but getting on the trampoline themselves was spectacularly ill judged.

 

[Dark Carnival]

THE QUEEN!!

 

[D5K]

This is a great performance, but getting on the trampoline themselves was spectacularly ill judged.

Yeah I’d forgotten they tried to keep singing throughout.

 

[dmlaw]

Even Conchita's postcard is iconic.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I don't recall the dress flag.

QUEEN!

 

[Dark Carnival]

THE LIGHTS!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Such a beautiful performance.

Did he have any sneaky backing singers round the back?

 

[D5K]

This song is so iconic and yet in the lead up to the contest we all thought it was mid table filler. It’s an incredible turnaround.

 

[GinAg (39)]

My memory of this was that the plinth was much higher.

 

[dUb]

Such a mediocre song, but no arguments with the staging/performance/performer deserving the win

 

[Dark Carnival]

That perf elevates it SO MUCH! WHAT A QUEEN!

 

[GinAg (39)]

It really was an LGBTQ+ win rather than Austrian victory.

 

[D5K]

This year may not have had the best songs but so many of the performances have gone down in Eurovision history

 

[ButterTart]

This is one of the most horrible songs ever entered into the contest.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This year may not have had the best songs but so many of the performances have gone down in Eurovision history

Germany says otherwise.

I am suddenly sad that Israel didn't qualify.

 

[dmlaw]

I'd feel sorry for Germany having to follow that if their song weren't so hugely unappealling.

 

[D5K]

Oh god. At least mid-decade Germany gave the UK someone to look down upon.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Poor German lesbain having to go after that

 

[D5K]

I am suddenly sad that Israel didn't qualify.

Well yes, that was the best song of the year

 

[GinAg (39)]

Are all German women lesbians?

 

[GinAg (39)]

What a fucking horrible outfit.

 

[dmlaw]

This is one of the most horrible songs ever entered into the contest.

This was the year of Cake To Bake and Mother. It's only the third most horrible song of the year.

 

[D5K]

This was the year of Cake To Bake and Mother. It's only the third most horrible song of the year.

It’s such a STRANGE year.

 

[dUb]

Well that was FUCKING GRIM

 

[dmlaw]

It was a mistake for this year's hosts to attempt to copy Petra's skill with shady jokes.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh now this is good.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Was this the last time they sent a woman?

INEXPLICABLE!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Sana

 

[ButterTart]

Here she is, Hagrid and her 'sad' that apparently 'hurts so bad'.

 

[dmlaw]

I wonder if she was planning to make the flag across the whole pool but gave up when the yellow things kept floating away.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Clunky lyrics aside it's lush.

 

[ButterTart]

This was the year of Cake To Bake and Mother. It's only the third most horrible song of the year.

Mother was disgusting on every conceivable level, but I quite liked Cake To Bake - especially the attempt at Cockney in the spoken word bit. 'Piss a cack'.

 

[D5K]

It really frustrates me that one of her weakest MF entries was the one that got to Eurovision

 

[dmlaw]

Fun fact: Saana had finished second on UK X-Factor before representing her country at Eurovision.

 

[dUb]

Now I love a ballad but this does nothing for me

 

[D5K]

Mother was disgusting on every conceivable level, but I quite liked Cake To Bake - especially the attempt at Cockney in the spoken word bit. 'Piss a cack'.

I liked Mother as a song, but obviously the performance was abhorrent.
