BnB Eurovision Song Contest Addicts (BESCA)

Nice one Phexia! I don't really remember the song - but that dance routine is hilarious! I bet the words mean something really saucy!

Cheryl Baker was a UK entry in 1979, (second on the right), two years before she won it with Bucks Fizz. I remember this. I quite like it.

The closest thing we got to winning Eurovision was in 1999, this is the song that got us second place:

One of my favourite winning non UK songs was Israel, 1979 I think. Though the outfits and the hair........oh dear.........

I found the thread Magic!!!

What do you mean hubby wouldnt put up with it- phft!! No such choice in this house. Im even holding a mini soiree tomorrow with my fbest friend an her man...drinkies, nibbles..score cards- oh, yes!! LOL!! And i made OH out put 15/5 in his diary 2 months ago so he could make sure he was off, ha, ha!!

Anyway- to business...hm...the obvious choices have gone..i personally quite liked moldova (hey, im half slavic so that stuff appeals to me..and nice sprangly mini dress, lol) also thought the albanian girl was a little cutie... (god, i sound all gay (no offence like..but still ...like im perving..yikes, LOL) I also like the German entry (not a sentence you hear often, ha, ha) and deeta von tease will 'dance' on stage live w/them!!

Eff it, im not gonna win so im gonna go with Albania!! its more dancy and i dont think anyone will be singing along in moldovan anytime soon- although towards the end i always do (blame alchol and bbc red button subtitles!! LOL))

Let the Games begin!!!

ps, the 'norwegian' entry...i have it from good, trustworthy sources that he is not quite right..in several ways.. id stick with the mono brow as the simple explanation..just easier that way

 

[magicvw]

yay you found us Omi!! Albania it is then!

I'm watching with my mum and dad tomorrow while DH is out at the pub. I think Newcastle are playing too so there is no way he'd be at home! Mum and dad are as sad as me so we will have a great time watching it together - can't wait!

BTW dying to know more about what "not right" with the Norwegian!
