Eurovision Rewatch: Gothenburg 1985 (15/08 20.00 BST)

[D5K]

A clash with the National Remembrance of the Dead.

Priorities.

 

[Iguana]

Nice song though

 

[D5K]

This woman is quite irritating

Oh you must be on the five minute lag with Lys Assia

 

[lolly]

the STATE of those backing singers

 

[Madíson]

50 Ireland

 

[lolly]

45 Ireland

 

[dmlaw]

That is a big pink ball at the back of the stage. She should see a doctor.

 

[Iguana]

I'd be fucked off if someone in front of me had that fuck off huge banner

 

[win_the_game]

A poor man's Linda Martin. And that's saying something.

 

[Iguana]

The state of THAT

 

[Madíson]

The host has to sit there throughout every performance

 

[D5K]

Ooh I like this

 

[lolly]

She looks like she should be in the laundry in Prisoner: Cell Block H

 

[dmlaw]

Finland looks like she has based her look on someone's description of Toyah Wilcox.

 

[D5K]

The host has to sit there throughout every performance

Imagine how creepy it would have been if Toto did that.

 

[Madíson]

Imagine how creepy it would have been if Toto did that.

Toto would join in.

 

[Iguana]

Finland looks like she has based her look on someone's description of Toyah Wilcox.

This has me cackling

 

[GNL]

Eurovision hair contest

 

[lolly]

I'm rather enjoying this

 

[dmlaw]

The host has to sit there throughout every performance

I wonder how many songs it will be before she forgets to move her wine out of shot before the camera comes back to her.

 

[Madíson]

Her mouth is HUGE

 

[Madíson]

50 Ireland
70 Finland

 

[lolly]

45 Ireland
75 Finland

 

[dmlaw]

That was fun. I hope it doesn't get too badly Finlanded in the scoring.

 

[Iguana]

The backing track to every postcard reminds me Never Too Late

 

[Madíson]

That intro sounded awfully like a Lloyd Webber song.

Another Suitcase In Another Hall?

 

[Iguana]

Another flattering outfit

 

[lolly]

Less cinched than Adore Delano

 

[Madíson]

Cyprus is dressed for a wedding reception.

 

[lolly]

I dont dislike the chorus, but the verses let it down.

 

[D5K]

I’m enjoying the key changes this year.

 

[Madíson]

50 Ireland
70 Finland
30 Cyprus

 

[dmlaw]

All three entries so far have reminded me of that saying about being all tits and teeth, only without the tits.

 

[lolly]

45 Ireland
75 Finland
60 Cyprus

 

[lolly]

like a camp Rocco Siffredi

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, God, it's Hot Eyes again. How many times did they do this?

 

[Iguana]

Is this the one who performed pregnant?

 

[lolly]

GOOD GRIEF

 

[Iguana]

Children? No no no

 

[win_the_game]

I'm sure I've heard the music used in these postcards in some vintage porno.
