We were never told about that: Bizek Emi falls down

Some performances in national finals are infamous. We all remember Tara from Karma fighting a losing battle against bronchitis live on stage in 2003, and that bit in the 1990 Austrian Final where the woman passes out. But there's some things in Eurovision history that, for some reason, nobody ever thought to tell us about.

Take Bizek Emi in the Hungarian Final in 2005. She sits at the piano and sings a perfectly inoffensive, if slightly dull ditty about being past the halfway-point or something. And for years we all assumed that was it.

Because somehow, nobody ever bothered to tell us that when she comes to the front of the stage to take her bow following the performance, she slips and falls flat on her face, the poor love.

It's the kind of thing you can't help but watch twenty times in a row. Go on, I challenge you not to.



This is what we watch Eurovision for. More please.
