Sadly 1962's reputation of being a bit on the dull side is largely justified. "Un Premier Amour" stands head and shoulders above the rest and its win was thoroughly deserved. I do quite like the Yugoslav entry, and despite it being clearly awful I can't bring myself to dislike "Ring-a-Ding Girl" (no matter how hard I try). None of the others provokes any reaction in me at all. Fortunately there would be far stronger stuff the next year.

Isabelle Aubret's gorgeous ballad secured a second win for France - and, like 1960, also a comfortable one. Otherwise, though, the perky, catchy numbers (Sweden, Germany, Finland - in their first great showing) won the day over the classic-style ballads (Monaco, Yugoslavia, Norway). And Austria scores a 4th last-place in 6 years (!) - although Carmela nd Udo will soon help them reverse their fortunes.

[ESCsince1968]

And I am glad to see that those "perky, catchy" ones have done so well,especially Germany & Finland, though I also loved Norway & Yugoslavia. Though Le Premier Amour has grown on me I think it is the French song I liked least in all the early years. IMO La Source was a much better song for Isabelle.

Thanks to ESCsince1968's 12 points, Germany continues moving upward and is now very close to the top-3, while Yugoslavia breaks in the top-10 and Norway's also back in the upper reaches of the scoreboard. The current results: 1) France 50 2) Netherlands 45 3) Sweden 44 4) Germany 42 5) Finland 40 6) UK 30 7) Yugoslavia 27 8) Switzerland 25 =9) Italy 22 =9) Norway 22 ...And you can watch the whole contest (well, almost) in my playlists!

[ESCsince1968]

My '62 vote is: Monaco 1 pt UK 2 pts Switzerland 3 France 4 Netherlands 5 (Itdoes have a catchiness to it) Sweden 6 Finland 7 (also catchy and it is Marion Rung) Norway 8 (one of those lovely ballads) Yugoslavia 10 (even lovelier ballad) Germany 12 (great tune)

[ESCsince1968]

Again Un Premier Amour was one of those songs that I could never understand why it won, it is a bit dull, but has grown on me, but I think there are many better from that year.

[ESCsince1968]

I also think La Source in 1968 was her better song.

[tasosk3]

France's Isabelle Aubret maintains her lead (with, much to my friend coccola's dismay, the Dutch still in as runners-up), while Germany's Connie Froebess climbs to 5th place and Monaco breaks in the top-10. The latest results: 1) France 46 2) Netherlands 40 3) Sweden 38 4) Finland 33 5) Germany 30 6) UK 28 =7) Italy 22 =7) Switzerland 22 9) Monaco 19 10) Denmark 18 Still with nul points: Austria

[coccola]

How weird it is that you all guys seem to like that annoying song from the Netherlands. And Tasos 10 points!?!? Well, everybody with their own taste ;) Here is mine: 1 point Switzerland 2. Germany 3. Belgium 4. Yugoslavia 5. UK 6. Sweden 7. Finland 8. Denmark 10. Monaco 12. France

[tasosk3]

Hey, I gave you my 8, what are you complaining about? :-) Yeah, I recognize 10 points may be too much, but I still find "Katinka" to be a quite catchy number. Besides, as I said, this was a year where, apart from my 12 points, the rest of my top-10 could be in a totally different order, since almost none of these (good, but not great) songs REALLY stand out from the rest.

[tasosk3]

After 4 votes coming in, here's a first top-10: 1) France 34 2) Netherlands 28 3) Sweden 26 4) Finland 22 =5) Italy 19 =5) Switzerland 19 =7) Germany 18 =7) UK 18 9) Norway 14 10) Denmark 10 Still with nul points: Austria and Spain (both deservedly, IMO!) ...And you can watch the whole contest (well, almost) in my playlists!

[LukeJanik]

Here are my friends vote: 1.Belgium 2.Monaco 3.Switzerland 4.France 5.Italy 6.Finland 7.Germany 8.United Kingdom 10.Netherlands And finally 12.Sweden

[LukeJanik]

I agree this wasnt such a great year,but it had some nice songs:),now to my vote:Here are the Patrick vote; 1.Norway 2.Monaco 3.Italy 4.Switzerland 5.Netherlands 6.France 7.Germany 8.Finland 10.United Kingdom And finally 12.Sweden

[tasosk3]

Indeed, 1962 wasn't such a strong year. I already knew my 12, but I struggled a bit for the rest of the top-10, since nothing else really stands head and shoulders above the rest. So, here's my voting: 1 point: Yugoslavia 2: Sweden 3: Monaco 4: Germany 5: Norway 6: Switzerland 7: Italy 8: Finland 10: Netherlands and 12 points to... France (of all the early French wins, this was the one time they really deserved it)

[SundownerDrifting]

Starting off the voting for '62: 1 point: Luxembourg 2 points: Monaco 3 points: Netherlands 4 points: Italy 5 points: Yugoslavia 6 points: Switzerland 7 points: Norway 8 points: Belgium 10 points: Denmark 12 points: France Kind of a weak contest, with France, Denmark and Belgium (why null points?) standing out in a pretty paltry field. The first Italian mis-fire after four years of enduring classics.

[tasosk3]

Well, yes, "Addio, Addio" may be a flop by Italian standards, but I must say I still like it, and Claudio Villa's performance. Of course, as I've said, I have a thing for this kind of melodramatic ballads (that's probably why I also like Switzerland from the same year)...

[coljaz]

Not the best of the early contests, but still plenty of nice songs - Belgium, Norway & Denmark deserved a bit better.
