Posted January 2, 20241 yr Another thread which reminds us that 2004 was 20!! Years ago. This thread can be a good idea to throw in some nostalgic moments and or historic events that you remember from that year. I'll start with the introduction of Facebook on February 4th by Mark Zuckerberg!
January 2, 20241 yr Everyone seemed to be desperate in 2004 to have a phone with one of these ringtones by Jamster (who were responsible for the birth of Crazy Frog); h-K_sY9IoZU
January 2, 20241 yr Steve Brookstein wins the first ever series of X Factor Nadia Almada wins Big Brother 5 Series 3 of I'm a Celeb probably still remains the most iconic and memorable series of all time despite being 20 years ago with the hoy trinity of Peter, Jordan & Kerry I remember the Record of the Year show on ITV was still massive, this year won by Busted - Thunderbirds Are Go (lol)
January 2, 20241 yr Greece won Euro 2004 by beating Portugal 1-0 in the final. Best Mate won his third Cheltenham Gold Cup in a row becoming the first since Arkle to win three Gold Cups back-to-back.

January 3, 20241 yr wasn't the Indian Ocean tsunami also 20 years ago? JesusYes, we might be having a 20-year commemoration in December. nE3b3NYMFfg Meanwhile in MotoGP, Valentino Rossi left Honda where he won three premier class titles with and joined Yamaha.

January 3, 20241 yr These films were also released in 2004: Kung Fu Hustle New Police Story Spider-Man 2 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid Taxi (a US remake of the original French film. It's a garbage, but I somehow like it lol) The Incredibles The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Popular anime Bleach also unleashed its first ever episode in 2004. Music, I was still very young and poor back then to recognize English songs. So, nothing really historical for me.
January 3, 20241 yr The Athens Olympics The best series of Australian Big Brother (well in my view). From a music point of view: Maroon 5 - This Love Slinkies Minx - Sumer Rain Natasha Bedinfield - These Words Australian Idol had the shock early exit of fan favourite Ricki-Lee. I imagine it was a little like with Maria Lawson was voted off X Factor.
May 4, 20241 yr Definitely the tsunami, Janet’s titslip and Facebook being founded, as mentioned above. Also: Also the first gay marriage being held in Massachusetts.

November 11, 2024Nov 11 Big Brother 5 Fight Night Omg yes! I forgot about that. I didn't watch it at the time but revisited it on YouTube years later. Absolutely car crash TV. We'll never see anything quite like it again on TV.
November 11, 2024Nov 11 oh god I remember that episode of American Idol… they also picked the black guy last so no wonder everyone called it anti black and the bottom 3 just reeked of misogynoir
November 11, 2024Nov 11 oh god I remember that episode of American Idol… they also picked the black guy last so no wonder everyone called it anti black and the bottom 3 just reeked of misogynoir What makes it even more mad is I think Fantasia, Jennifer and Latoya were all faves to win. :o
