My first Eurovision memory is 1996...my parents say that "Ooh, ahh, just a little bit" was one of my favourite songs when I was little.

 

I liked the German song when I first heard it, and the singer had quite a nice body...Dita Von Teese was pointless. If they wanted to win, she should have been fully naked, which obviously wasn't allowed. Did they perform after 9pm, the water-shed?

I think so, but it might not have been in all countries... I'll give you Oscar Loya is fairly attractive, but anyway...

I've watched Eurovision for years, 1994 is the first I can remember most of, but I remember supporting Sonia before that... My parents hated it, so it seemed almost rebellious :kink: The first time I really considered myself a fan though was in 1999, though my tastes took a while to settle (France's Ou Aller was my pre-contest favourite :lol:)

 

Germany this year was p*** poor tbh. Bad vocal, boring show, Dita Von Teese living up to her name by standing there for thirty seconds in, frankly, more than usual and doing NOTHING... :puke2:

 

I've watched from 1999 onwards, seeing as I had bought the Precious single earlier that week not realising it was our Eurovision entry, but just because I thought it was a great pop song. My mum said 'that band you like are on in a minute', so I proceeded to watch the show, and the obsession began :lol: well not quite because in 2000 I really only loved Ines and Alsou...it was in 2001 when the real obsession started, when I bought the album, watched the videos over and over again etc...and by far my favourite (and nobody else's on ESC sites :P) was Tanel & Dave so I was so glad that it won :wub:

I still don't understand how you like that "song" Everybody so much :puke2:

 

It's a nice way to get into Eurovision though, kinda organic :)

god, don't even ask me about ESC or I will be guaranteed to lecture anybody on it for hours on end :lol: it's quite sad really...I even did my uni final dissertation on Europop with a full chapter (4000 words) on Eurovision and Melodifestivalen :rofl: my lecturer said 'what research have you done' and I said, I don't need to do any research I know all the stats/full scoreboards and points scored already :heehee:

The thing that really can't fit into my mind is that final dissertation might consist of thoughts about Europop let alone Eurovision :wacko: Or maybe it's because such 'departments' don't exist here in Russia.
