@minasthess He was already so weak during the contest that they had to replace him with the belgian host conductor Freddy Sunder during the rehearsals. I think he already knew that this would be his last eurovision! Tragic!
They should sing in their own language. It's an English song contest nowadays. It's like your favourite football team playing with 11 foreign players - you lose your whole identity. The fundamental idea of the thing has been lost now and that was the reason I watched it. Sad...
100% agree ... for anyone who grew watching ESC as a kid. These days a new generation of people decided to follow the Eurovision (since Dana International won the Eurovision) and from that point on everything fell out of place: the language rule, the televoting, the loss of musical quality ... which saddly is what this new generation seems to like about it.
No not all - I'm 15 years and ESC-fan, and I think ESC since 1990's has been a failure - yes everything - language, televoting and especially the missing of the orchestra. It isn't real live-music without an orchestra! I wonder to write to the EBU and to identify it. I don't think, it will helps, but I will not loose anything on it.
I was not really talking about people of ur age actually I had no idea that young teens watched ... I was referring more to the gay communties who embrassed ESC ever since 1999 and onwards when everything just went downhil: language, no orchestra, televoting everything ... until 1998 everything was wonderful for me in terms of music ... then it just went crappy! :(
@jedforest1885 and eurovision nowdays is runned by big music company's who tell who's the winner. it's now so corrupt, back then it was ouer voice(public not big bosses) who did tell us who the winner was!
why? that only gives an advantage to english/french speaking naions....its no coincidence that vast majority of wins pre 98 were uk/framce/lux/irl etc......then since the change...they 1 nada...
@jedforest1885 it's a music contest. Not a language contest...the fundumental idea was to bring on a common european stage the music industry of each country and that has nothing to do with language...A song has most of the times no future outside it's country when you don't understand the lyrics, especially when it comes to popular genres like pop rock etc..
And very 80s yes! (including the shoulders) I love the Eurovision songcontest songs in my only langauge. Almost all the songs are in englisch these days.
@klausgeorg01 yes I know it, you can find more about eurovision conductors here: andtheconductoris.eu

R.I.P. Rogier van Otterloo. He died 9 months after that contest! Very good man and a very good conductor and musician generally!
