Eurovision Rewatch: Copenhagen 2001: 08/05 20.00 BST

[dmlaw]

It's just over two weeks to the big day and time to get in the mood with a rewatch or two.

Please choose whether you would rather spend your Saturday evening watching Eurovision 1994 or 2001. I hope none of you think that you have a social engagement.

Edit: 2001 is the winner and here is the video.

 

[GinAg (39)]

1994 for sure.

 

[Soldi]

Antique

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Love multiple choice for a binary vote

 

[Dark Carnival]

Early 90s, sure

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Completely non-related, but I privately rewatched 2007 the other. OMG what a HORRIFIC YEAR!

 

[Soldi]

Omg let’s pretend it’s April 2020 again and have two rival rewatches

 

[Soldi]

Completely non-related, but I privately rewatched 2007 the other. OMG what a HORRIFIC YEAR!

Private rewatch!

 

[Soldi]

Early 90s, sure

1993 we MUST revisit though. A rose between SEVERAL thorns.

 

[Tisch]

I probably can't make it so I've just voted to even up the scores.

 

[dmlaw]

Love multiple choice for a binary vote

Some people might not mind but want to register their support. Some people might want to watch both. IF IT'S A TIE, WE'RE WATCHING BOTH.

 

[Suomi]

I warn you all now - 2001 has the worst opening run of songs in any Eurovision ever - the first six songs are shocking

 

[Soldi]

I warn you all now - 2001 has the worst opening run of songs in any Eurovision ever - the first six songs are shocking

More time to get drunk in preparation for the main events from that year love

 

[Soldi]

Or we could watch the first six songs from 1994 and then switch to 2001 after?

 

[VoR]

I warn you all now - 2001 has the worst opening run of songs in any Eurovision ever - the first six songs are shocking

2006 is worse for me on that front. Alvedansen aside the first half is almost unwatchable.

I'll give you the first five. ButterTart and I will enjoy Mumiy Troll.

 

[Soldi]

Looking back Israel are decent from memory too, although I haven’t watched any 2001 stuff in AGES.

 

[VoR]

I actually love Out On My Own, Hano AND Lady Alpine Blue

 

[Suomi]

I'll give you the first five. ButterTart and I will enjoy Mumiy Troll.

Oh no I love all the songs from 2001. I was very inspired by Mumiy Troll as a teenager, and would often make noises like that in school to get out of school.

You have to understand that when I speak this way about 2001 its not because I don’t love them, it’s just that I know the harsh way that the world will view them. Before Michelle - Out On My Own I never truly understood what it was to sit on the floor.

 

[Soldi]

But OMG it gets good after that

Sweden, Croatia, Spain, France, LINDSEH, Slovenia, Germany, Malta, GREECE, DENMARK!

 

[Soldi]

Also can @Tisch remove her vote please if she’s not going to watch

 

[Suomi]

2006 is worse for me on that front. Alvedansen aside the first half is almost unwatchable.

Un BlodyMary is an unlistenable, unwatchable ANTHEM Son De Sol died so that they could...die too.

 

[Tisch]

Also can @Tisch remove her vote please if she’s not going to watch

Don't silence me

 

[dmlaw]

Oh no I love all the songs from 2001. I was very inspired by Mumiy Troll as a teenager, and would often make noises like that in school to get out of school.

I thought they kept you out of school anyway on account of all those fires.

 

[Soldi]

2006 is worse for me on that front. Alvedansen aside the first half is almost unwatchable.

What about Texas Lightning!

 

[Suomi]

I thought they kept you out of school anyway on account of all those fires.

Okay well tell me a better way to stop vampires.

 

[ButterTart]

Okay well tell me a better way to stop vampires.

Have a mesh surgically inserted.

Oh wait no that's prolapses.

 

[ButterTart]

Also I voted 2001 because I'm in my first year at the ZenGiraffe Conservatory for Art, Drama and Battering Mars Bars, and this entire semester has been about how music from years with a 1 at the front is all shit.

 

[Soldi]

2001 it is then?

 

[dmlaw]

Looks like it. Meet back here at 8pm for Copenhagen 2001.

@Dark Carnival @VoR @David 5000 @COB @Soldi @ZenGiraffe @ButterTart @Ag @Suomi @Alla @Tisch @wurst

 

[Alla]

Thanks but I can't with more rewatches, SOZ.Have fun x

 

[Beverley]

Neither, Fanx!

 

[Madíson]

I am happy to take either of their invitations.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Apologies I'm out. Saving all my Eurovision energy for the Hot 100 + rehearsals.

That link comes with Polish commentary. There is one with English commentary, but it is eight minutes shorter for no clear reason, is blocked in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and contains Wogan.

 

[COB]

Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish Moopers in shambles

 

[Soldi]

Poor @Mats and @RaspberrySwirl missing out on all the xenophobia

 

[dmlaw]

I think it's Aqua's fault. The one I've actually posted should be fine if @RaspberrySwirl wants to watch. I bet he does.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh God, the still image alone is reminding me what an atrocity the winner is.
