I don't know if this has been posted around here yet, but every Saturday at 8pm Twitter gets together to watch a previous Eurovision together. So far they've done it for the 2013, 2006, 2009 and 2015 contests with the EBU making a Premiere of the last two on YouTube as they've joined and supported #EurovisionAgain. It's been the #1 trending topic in the UK, and it even hit #7 in the US; The Huffington Post UK have even written about it; Alexander Rybak and Daz Sampson(?) themselves annouced their respective contests; and last week it saw over £3600 being raised for charity. They've ran their own voting since the second weekend with Carola winning over Lordi, however "Fairytale" and "Heroes" have won their respective years. It's hands-down the most fun I've been having in isolation and a good replacement for the usual Eurovision festivities. I'm hoping it grows bigger and bigger so that we can get a semblance of a meaningful vote for the 2020 songs on May 16th! This post has been edited by Vülker: 14th April 2020, 02:37 PM |

I always miss out on these haha but I did watch the 2009 one a little later and I was surprised to see how many quality songs were in that final!

Dublin 1997! Man, this feels like a proper acid flashback

Man, I always tend to forget how damn trippy the mid-to-late 90s actually was. I'm actually starting to wonder if I accidentally ate some magic mushrooms and we're only two entries in - add those damn trippy sequences between the acts too.

I'm the only one watching this but Austria's One Step is an... entry. The blue glittery crop top, pants and with a dark blue coat is a fashion choice.

OK, how did Bosnia and Herzegovinian's entry Goodbye not get disqualified for that pretty blatant sample?!

Watching this on twitter and 1997 is honestly such a contest of extremes quality wise!

Oh, Blond. I recall them not doing that well, but in the Swedish press it was a bit like "at LEAST we're not Norway" IIRC
Also, you could land an airplane on the long haired ones forehead. This post has been edited by tommie: 18th April 2020, 08:19 PM |

What was it ripping off? It was my second favourite of the night, but partly because that title + Bosnia was getting me all emotional #ripBosnia It's a complete rip-off of a famous 60s song that I can't remember the title of at the moment. It's really obvious once you hear it though. Iceland's entry is my new favourite best/worst entry. It's hilariously horrible. This post has been edited by tommie: 18th April 2020, 09:48 PM |

I thought the Dutch entry had the most obvious rip-off. Live and Let Die right from the off!

I really enjoyed the 97 rewatch and glad that some older contests are being uploaded in HD. Was initially reluctant to get involved cos I don't subscribe to the cult of personality of the guy running it but it was actually really fun

Who’s watching tonight? EA have revealed tonight’s contest is held in a city that has only hosted ESC once.

I've got a hunch it's 2007 but I'm prepared to be proven wrong in about half an hour!

Providing I don't fall asleep I shall be here for this, especially as it's looking like a 2000's contest, hoping for 2008!
