I have to make a list? The Shrike Send a noteboard - 14/07/2020 12:44:05 AM

Some of them, anyway, others I'm sure we share. In no particular order:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ5B6w-Baxs Israel 1998 - stormed to victory, it's not exactly the greatest song but what a statement at that time. I'm pretty sure I was just one of many, many European children learning about transgender people that night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1y9xhmMSDk Latvia 2000 - really should've won but didn't, stuck with me for some reason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ih4MX4QUU France 1979 - another 'should've won but didn't', from an amazing singer who'd actually won several years prior (representing Luxembourg, who were pretty good at getting foreigners to win for them), but I prefer this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M02ylY1DTC4 France 1969 - from the really old days, a four-way tie for first that year, but this one's amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqOI04uo_c Norway 1995 - one of the prettiest winning songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pEYw8PcBas Switzerland 1988 - another case of getting foreigners to win for you though at least they didn't steal from poor France but from Quebec that time... Celine Dion's outfit is remarkably hideous if you ask me, but of course she's always had one hell of a voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJksu8XxZCo Turkey 2003 - the Turkish version is better and another hideous outfit, but Sertab's also an amazing singer.


I need to watch all of yours. I will give thoughts tomorrow. I didn't start watching Eurovision until 2007 or so. And the latest entry of yours is 2003.

I basically love Europop. Here's an example

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Cannoli - 12/07/2020 12:50:53 AM 820 Views
Hollywood made a movie about the Eurovision Song Contest? Weird. Legolas - 12/07/2020 01:07:34 AM 461 Views
It was enjoyable. There were so many former Eurovision winners in it. The Shrike - 12/07/2020 02:43:12 PM 427 Views
Rachel McAdams is a big plus, true. I see it's on Netflix, will give it a shot. Legolas - 12/07/2020 10:12:25 PM 424 Views
After you watch it, The Shrike - 12/07/2020 10:56:30 PM 519 Views
Okay, I had a lot of fun, more than I was expecting. Legolas - 13/07/2020 10:54:07 PM 440 Views
Madonna did perform in 2019 though. And Cher has the ABBA connection now. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 12:36:54 AM 403 Views
Had to ponder that one for a minute, but of course, her Mamma Mia role! Legolas - 14/07/2020 11:56:30 PM 394 Views
Yesterday I considered a short *NM* reply saying it is being talked about in my gay circles. *shrug* Roland00 - 12/07/2020 10:58:11 PM 420 Views
Where the gays go first, the straights sometimes follow. The Shrike - 13/07/2020 12:25:58 PM 410 Views
Would it be Oscar Bait if Netflix actual airs this in theatres? Roland00 - 13/07/2020 06:03:05 PM 421 Views
Oscars? Those people take themselves way too seriously. The Shrike - 13/07/2020 06:36:00 PM 395 Views
Crosses the Streams I mean Threads with some Hannibal energy. Roland00 - 13/07/2020 06:52:54 PM 396 Views
what is it with this impalement fetish? *NM* damookster - 13/07/2020 07:52:50 PM 200 Views
It's a gay thing. The Shrike - 13/07/2020 08:44:36 PM 395 Views
damookster - 13/07/2020 08:56:12 PM 376 Views

Wait The Shrike - 13/07/2020 09:27:14 PM 400 Views

Oh. Its you. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 09:24:28 PM 401 Views
I meant he was not alone because he indicated he was the only gay in the village. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 09:23:42 PM 411 Views
Wow that was a turn of phrase. How do you "know" Greg and Joe, Mookie? Roland00 - 15/07/2020 04:13:46 AM 373 Views
Not in the Biblical sense. *NM* damookster - 15/07/2020 04:20:10 AM 201 Views
Re: Can I just say... Thank you! fionwe1987 - 14/07/2020 10:23:47 PM 375 Views

Speaking of comedies involving German bars/backrooms The Shrike - 13/07/2020 08:42:52 PM 561 Views
Bryan Fuller man, let your gay flag fly and sink into the surreal dreamscape Roland00 - 13/07/2020 09:00:05 PM 380 Views
Sweetie darling, you must watch Eurotrip. The Shrike - 13/07/2020 09:10:47 PM 445 Views
I enjoy these type of movies if I have someone to talk about them *shrug* Roland00 - 13/07/2020 09:17:30 PM 400 Views
We can set up a watch party lol? The Shrike - 13/07/2020 09:28:04 PM 380 Views
Just Watch says no free streaming with one of the various subscriptions. Roland00 - 13/07/2020 10:11:03 PM 383 Views
This is a travesty. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 12:38:25 AM 397 Views
I would do this. damookster - 14/07/2020 12:59:56 AM 407 Views
Seconded. fionwe1987 - 14/07/2020 03:26:55 AM 370 Views
As a non-gay, non-watcher/fan of Eurovision... Sareitha Sedai - 13/07/2020 06:55:06 PM 509 Views
Oooh! Hi! The Shrike - 13/07/2020 08:49:02 PM 470 Views
Oooh. And you must watch Verka Serduchka. She is just so wonderful. The Shrike - 13/07/2020 08:50:04 PM 468 Views
I knew I could count on you Sareitha Sedai - 13/07/2020 10:05:22 PM 472 Views
There's more where that came from. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 12:40:51 AM 375 Views
I have a feeling my favourites might be... somewhat different from Greg's. Legolas - 13/07/2020 11:22:31 PM 385 Views
I have to make a list? The Shrike - 14/07/2020 12:44:05 AM 468 Views
Thank you both! *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 14/07/2020 03:01:14 PM 278 Views
Yeah, many of mine aren't very pop-py or typical modern Eurovision camp. Legolas - 14/07/2020 06:16:21 PM 433 Views
I like her music. She feels very 80s. But with a modern twist. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 09:29:18 PM 451 Views
I've read that elsewhere, I don't know that I really hear it? Legolas - 14/07/2020 11:12:56 PM 372 Views
Hmm. Eurovision. jh - 14/07/2020 10:33:57 PM 530 Views
Dschinghis Khan is fun, but their song Moskau is so much better. Legolas - 14/07/2020 11:29:51 PM 389 Views
*NM* Sareitha Sedai - 15/07/2020 02:19:23 PM 298 Views
Here's the trailer, btw The Shrike - 12/07/2020 10:00:30 PM 475 Views
I only ever heard of Norman Greenbaum doing Spirit in the Sky Tom - 14/07/2020 08:10:36 PM 555 Views
Depending how much Eurovision you have watched, you'll like it. The Shrike - 14/07/2020 09:26:12 PM 375 Views
I stopped looking for depth in movies altogether Tom - 14/07/2020 09:54:52 PM 381 Views
Ok, so it wasn't really good at all. Tom - 15/07/2020 04:01:56 PM 461 Views
The Shrike - 14/07/2020 12:45:39 AM 398 Views
Is it weird that the one who posts a review is apparently the only one ignorant of Eurovision here? *NM* Cannoli - 15/07/2020 05:18:45 AM 223 Views
Yes, it kind of is. Legolas - 15/07/2020 05:31:01 PM 746 Views
