Do people widely know what did happened backstage right before the Icelandic entry ? Sverrir Stormsker the composer of the Icelandic entry and who is the man who played the piano was not ready for going onto stage 5 min before the act so there was a lot of panic and everybody were looking for him all over the place. In the end they found him I think no more than 3 minutes before very relaxed at the bar(with a drink I believe the story included)in some deep conversation with some person.
Mi puntuación: 1 punto para Holanda 2 puntos para Grecia 3 puntos para Islandia 4 puntos para Italia 5 puntos para Dinamarca 6 puntos para Bélgica 7 puntos para Reino Unido 8 puntos para España 10 puntos para Suecia 12 puntos para Suiza
Goodness, what a terrible year. I only started watching in 1989 and I can only put that down to divine providence. I like the Portuguese one, and "Mangup" is great, but that's as far as it goes... Lara "never sing when shouting will do" Fabian notwithstanding.
Though I disagree with you (for me, 1989 is the lesser year of the two), I must say that is a great comment indeed (esp. the bit about Lara Fabian made me laugh out loud!)
Well, I'm certainly willing to believe there's something I'm missing... it can't be as bad as I think it is, and there's certainly a lot of variety too. And the Danish song scales heights of irritatingness which I don't think had been replicated up until this year's winner. It must be a Scandinavian thing.
Ok I have seen the error of my ways and am now willing to say that the Norwegian one is actually quite good and I even rather like the Turkish one. It's quite imaginative anyway..!
@tasosk3 1989 is one of the weakest year and with such a weak year it was a great disappointment that the juries should vote for one of the weakest song of them all.
@LCScampi i'm portuguese and i must say the song was almost "destroyed" because of the corus, but a good song though...but my gosh, 1988 is way better than 1989
@MrSLB90 Yes, it's one of those relatively few songs where the verse is better than the chorus. And I must say I've come to like the Turkish one too to some extent. But there are no songs which really grab me from 1988 apart from "Mangup", whereas there are several from 1989. I think almost every country put in a stronger song the following year - just, er, not Switzerland, Turkey, Portugal and Yugoslavia I think, off-hand. Hmm... matter of taste I suppose!
hi here my top ten of 1988 my almost favourite year!!! I saw it in germany it was cold outside i remember and i was for celine!!! 1 point portugal 2 points sweden 3 points netherlands 4 points denmark 5 points turkey 6 points luxemburg 7 points united kingdom 8 points norway 10 points france 12 points switzerland it's very difficult for me to give real rankling between 6pts. and 10 .pts. All are very close and its changing in every season i love them all!! What a Year!!!!
1 point turkey 2 points sweden 3 points netherlands 4 points yugoslavia 5 points luxembourg 6 points denmark 7 points norway 8 points switzerland 10 points israel 12 points united kingdom these were the german votes
Votes from Aarhus in Denmark: 01: France 02: Netherlands 03: Germany 04: Portugal 05: Luxembourg 06: Norway 07: Israel 08: Denmark 10: UK 12: Switzerland
1 Denmark 2 France 3 Luxembourg 4 Germany 5 Netherlands 6 Yugoslavia 7 Sweden 8 Norway 10 Ireland 12 Switzerland very tough decision, but I finally came up with these. But, all good songs.
Here are my personal belgian results of the Song Contest 1988 I must say that I'm really surprised that Belgium ended at the 11th place, because I think it was one of the worst songs of that year. Anyway, here we go Yugoslavia - 1 point Ireland - 2 points Netherlands - 3 points Sweden - 4 points Switzerland - 5 points United Kingdom - 6 points Israel - 7 points Spain - 8 points Luxemburg - 10 points and finally Norway - 12 points
My favorite this year is Lara Fabian with "Croire". Sigh... Luxembourg should have won this year, not with their overrated entry in 1983. I can't believe she only came 4th place. I'm glad to see her as a runner-up in this poll though.
Here is the result of my opinion: 1- France 2- Denmark 3- Ireland 4- Norway 5- Yugoslavia 6- Israel 7- Netherlands 8- United Kingdom(Ouch, You had to go too far) 10- Luxembourg(I believe too...) and... and... and... 12- Switzerland(Yes, Don't Leave Without Us!)
I know that the voting is over, but here are the Brazilian votes, anyway: 1p: Spain 2p: Germany 3p: Portugal 4p: Yugoslavia 5p: Netherlands 6p: Denmark 7p: Norway 8p: Israel 10p: Switzerland 12p: Luxembourg
U.K. monopolizava até há pouco tempo atrás as primeiras posições do Eurofestivel, mesmo com as canções mais pirosas que se possa imaginar como a que apresentou neste concurso onde obteve por artes mágicas o 2º lugar da classificação geral.Como não lhes está a agradar o que se tem passado ultimamente já vêm dizer que o festival deixou de ser um concurso de canções porque está a ficar politizado.Dantes seria o quê?
Você está certo, muitas canções francesas, inglesas, alemãs, espanholas e holandesas ganharam bons lugares enquanto as portuguesas ficaram lá embaixo no placar... Mas houveram muitas músicas boas destes países, também.
Bavaria is calling and this are the results United Kingdom 1p Turkey 2p Italy 3p France 4p Israel 5p Netherlands 6p Luxemburg 7p Switzerland 8p(celine your better now) Norway 10p and Denmark 12p
A Céine Dion parece uma boneca de trapos.Quem terá tratado do visual dela? Certamente alguém com um gosto deplorável. É pena porque a canção merecia outro tratamento.
That's it, folks - voting's closed! There were no real surprises over the winner here, since Celine Dion took the lead from the very start of the vote and moved further and further away as it went on. Similarly, Lara and Karoline locked the rest of the top-3 from early on, the only question being which one would take 2nd place (Lara, eventually). And, lower down, the (quite pleasant) surprises were the high scorings for Sweden, Portugal and Belgium - who just missed out on a place in the top-10.
The Danish (or is that Moroccan?) vote helps both Gerard Joling and Hot Eyes catch up with Tommy Korberg, thus forming a triple tie in 4th place, while the Portuguese inch up to 9th. The latest top-10: 1) Switzerland 491 2) Luxembourg 338 3) Norway 320 =4) Denmark 210 =4) Netherlands 210 =4) Sweden 210 7) UK 192 8) Israel 165 9) Portugal 151 10) Germany 148 Only 5 days left to vote before the closing date of April 12. Post your favorites today!
High marks from my Bulgarian friend help the Netherlands' Gerard Joling climb to 5th place, while Portugal's Dora breaks into the top-10 for the first time!

For some reason my previous update on this page has disappeared, so here's, again, the latest top-10 - with Lara Fabian climbing back to 2nd place: 1) Switzerland 462 2) Luxembourg 314 3) Norway 306 4) Sweden 198 5) Denmark 196 6) Netherlands 194 7) UK 189 8) Israel 147 9) Belgium 142 10) Germany 140 Let me remind to everyone that April 12 is the closing date for this particular poll - so get your votes in while you still can!

Hard to find ten songs on my list but this is what I decided. 1 p Israel 2 p Sweden 3 p Finland 4 p Italy 5 p Portugal 6 p The Netherlands 7 p France 8 p Belgium 10 p Norway --- 12 p Switzerland
Votes from Portugal 1 point to Spain 2 points to Denmark 3 points to Iceland 4 points to Luxembourg 5 points to Netherlands 6 points to Switzerland 7 points to Ireland 8 points to Norway 10 points to Italy and 12 points to... United Kingdom!
The latest votings bring Denmark's Kirsten and Soren back into the top-5, while the year's other family duo (Maxi and Chris Garden) inch up to 9th place. The current results: 1) Switzerland 367 (more than 100 points ahead!) 2) Norway 264 3) Luxembourg 259 4) Sweden 184 5) Denmark 174 6) Netherlands 164 7) UK 151 8) Israel 138 9) Germany 130 10) Belgium 128 No change in last place: Austria, with 14 points

One more set of full marks gives a Celine a lead of more than 100 points! Here's the latest update: 1) Switzerland 329 2) Norway 224 3) Luxembourg 217 4) Sweden 167 5) Netherlands 154 6) Denmark 150 7) UK 137 8) Belgium 118 (moving up) 9) Israel 117 10) Germany 114
Sweden continues moving up the rankings, with two back-to-back 12s pushing them to 4th place. The current top-10: 1) Switzerland 317 2) Norway 218 3) Luxembourg 210 4) Sweden 167 5) Netherlands 150 6) Denmark 142 7) UK 137 8) Israel 117 9) Belgium 116 10) Germany 104 Still last: Austria, with 14 points
After doing a few corrections (see the '69 recap for details) and counting the latest 3 valid votes, here's an update on the full scoreboard - the top-10... 1) Switzerland 275 2) Norway 192 3) Luxembourg 181 4) Netherlands 143 5) Denmark 133 6) Sweden 122 =7) Belgium 116 =7) UK 116 9) Israel 109 10) Germany 101
Votes from Poland are coming: 1p Spain 2p Turkey 3p Netherlands 4p Portugal 5p UK (he was overrated, but it doesn't mean he was bad!) 6p Denmark 7p Norway 8p Israel 10p Switzerland 12p Luxembourg Both, Lara's and Celine's performances were simply outstanding, so I wanted to gave 12 to person, which had less points...
Tommy Korberg continues working his way up and climbs to 6th place, while Israel's Yardena Arazi inches up to 9th. The current results: 1) Switzerland 255 2) Norway 177 3) Luxembourg 173 4) Netherlands 141 5) Denmark 122 6) Sweden 111 7) Belgium 108 8) UK 104 9) Israel 101 10) Germany 100
Good news for the Nordic countries, since Norway climbs back to 2nd place, Denmark reclaims its place in the top-5 and Sweden moves up to 7th, while the UK jumps from 10th to 8th. The latest top-10: 1) Switzerland 233 2) Norway 170 3) Luxembourg 161 4) Netherlands 125 5) Denmark 111 6) Belgium 104 7) Sweden 99 8) UK 98 9) Germany 97 10) Israel 96 Last place: still Austria, with 9 points
Hey there, tasos, glad to see you up and running again! I'm just back from a party - the Danes put a heavy emphasis on those, I can tell you! Anyway, some artistic advice for your final recap(s) - experiment with more fonts for the song descriptions than Comic Sans. Your earlier videos had far better fonts, i.e.
Hi there Seth, and glad you've found people who can give a great party! :-D And thanks for the suggestion - I actually like Comic Sans fonts, but, hey, I want you all to enjoy these recaps as much as I do, so I'll see what else I can find (I'm not sure I'll come back to my earlier fonts, though). Actually, yesterday - with my Internet connection back and better than ever before - I started work on one of your favorite years (1990!) so expect this to be up sometime during the upcoming week! :-)
Oh, cool! Looking forward to that, though it may be an emotionally challenging vote for me to make - the very first Eurovision in my memory, and a lot of songs I love. It's not gonna be easy arranging my favourites - but looking forward to it very much. And not forcing you to change your font - it is your recap after all. But thanks for taking my suggestion, hope it helps.
To your next recap for me this is a quite important thing, try to use the best part of each song in the recap like in your last recap when the clip you took from Luxembourg 1988 was absolutely the best, but in Belgium 1983 it wasn't that good (The start and ending is the best parts in my mind). This could have a lot affection about the votes! ;-) (of course I completely understand it's a lot of work with this recaps so this is only a suggestion, not a denmanding! :-))
I always try to pick what I find to be the best/most characteristic part about a particular song, musically or visually (for example, for UK '81 I included the famous skirt-pulling), and in Lara Fabian's entry it was a no-brainer (and I'm glad you agree). However, it's not always easy. In some cases, I'm limited by time (I try not to include more than 30-40 secs max from each song), and there are also songs such as "Rendez-vous", whose structure makes it difficult to pick a particular part.
My favourite year.. More countries could be on this list like Iceland and Luxembourg.. Israel 1 France 2 Ireland 3 Germany 4 Turkey 5 Netherlands 6 UK 7 Spain 8 (The coolest) Norway 10 (The prettiest.. and what a great production) Switzerland 12 (Simply the best!)
Yeah Belgium was good as well.. but not in my top 10..
UK had the best performance that night.. and the orchestration for the UK entry was simply fantastic.. on the other hand the studio version is not even worth listening to :)
1- Austria 2- Denmark 3- Germany 4- Turkey 5- Israel 6- Sweden 7- United Kingdom 8- Luxembourg 10- Netherlands 12- NORWAY this completes the voting from North Wales!
Gerard Joling climbs to 4th place, while Belgium's Raynaert enters the top-5 for the first time and - largely thanks to full marks by our Scottish friend - Sweden's Tommy Korberg jumps from 10th to 8th place. The current results: 1) Switzerland 216 2) Luxembourg 152 3) Norway 142 4) Netherlands 109 5) Belgium 104 6) Denmark 102 7) Germany 87 8) Sweden 85 9) Israel 78 10) UK 74
Attention, here are the votes form the lwsmackie jury: Iceland 1pt Turkey 2pts Belgium 3 pts (over-rated) Finland 4pts (just strange!) Norway 5 pts Netherlands 6pts (those shoulder pads!) Israel 7pts (usual stuff but worth a laugh) Switz 8pts (I have no reason why im voting for this!) Germany 10pts (superb) And simply the best song that night.... SWEDEN 12 pts now wheres my nordic patterned jumper & badly dyed blonde hair....
Here is the votation of theZenonGab grand jury (1988 is not the best year): Sweden 1 pt. Greece 2 pts. (a strange circus comet from nowhere in the ESC !) Netherlands 3 pts. Turkey 4 pts. (a refreshing entertainment) Ireland 5 pts. Yugoslavia 6 pts. Spain 7 pts. Italy 8 pts. Belgium 10 pts. (another great belgian entry)and, and, and NORWAY 12 pts. !!!!! Céline Dion is maybe a great and famous performer, but sorry I can't stand this ugly swiss bullshit !
Things in the top-10 have started to wind down, with only Germany and the UK gaining ground. Here's how it all looks like: 1) Switzerland 198 2) Luxembourg 140 3) Norway 122 4) Denmark 102 5) Netherlands 93 6) Belgium 83 7) Germany 76 8) UK 74 9) Israel 71 10) Sweden 66 A change in last place: Austria, with 6 points
Lara Fabian is once again runner-up in our scoreboard, while the Netherlands, Belgium and Israel climb 1 place each - thus causing Germany to drop from 5th to 8th place. The current top-10: 1) Switzerland 176 2) Luxembourg 112 3) Norway 110 4) Denmark 101 5) Netherlands 78 6) Belgium 77 (a pleasant surprise) 7) Israel 71 8) Germany 69 9) UK 58 10) Sweden 55
Luxembourg 12 Belgium 10 Netherlands 8 Spain 7 Switzerland 6 Norway 5 Finland 4 Denmark 3 Sweden 2 Israel 1 Yeah, the Be-Ne-Lux kicked in this year in my opinion :)
A few changes in our scoreboard, with Norway reclaiming 2nd place and the UK returning to the top-10, while Germany and Belgium are also moving up. Here it is: 1) Switzerland 150 2) Norway 103 3) Luxembourg 96 4) Denmark 85 5) Germany 69 6) Netherlands 64 7) Belgium 61 8) Israel 60 =9) Sweden 53 =9) UK 53
In some ways an innovative show by RTE. Didnt think much of the stage then, but now it looks better from wide angles. The presenters wouldn't have been my choice. IMO 4 good songs, 4 or 5 ok ones and the rest. Yet again praise to our Tasos.
It was a innovative show! The hole production and stage and everything was great and it was MANY great songs (especially Belgium, a personal favourite as you see!). Apparently RTE desisded to update the show to attract more of the younger audience.
Oh cool, another recap! My votes: 1 point to: Iceland 2 points to: Sweden 3 points to: Netherlands 4 points to: Israel 5 points to: Portugal 6 points to: Denmark 7 points to: Turkey 8 points to: Luxembourg 10 points to: Belgium and 12 points go to... Norway!
Ah yes, the all important "pity vote." Though in retrospect I don't think one point is helping your cause all that much! I actually thought it was kind of a fun, funny, catchy tune, though I do wish they'd took a little more time with the lyrics. Sounds like they were written by Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Hmmm...I wonder if I would have if I had no idea if she was. I still can't help but think of her as "that shrieking Titanic hag," and her style here is EXACTLY THE SAME. Probably I didn't vote for Corinne Hermès for the same reason, little feather-haired, shoulder-padded Céline prototype that she was.
Yes, I totally understand where you're coming from. To be totally honest, I couldn't stand her either during her reign in the 90s (the Titanic ballad was one of her minor offences for me - I couldn't hear one note of "Think Twice" without wanting to tear my ears off!). I had to come here with an open mind to appreciate her performance, which I then had to admit is just flawless (plus, I think she's much less diva-like here).
This and 1994 are my favourite Eurovision years and also the two coolest stage in history of Eurovision. 1=Netherlands 2=Germany 3=Denmark 4=Switzerland 5=Sweden 6=Finland 7=Yugoslavia 8=Luxembourg 10=UK(Greatest vocal performance of the night) 12=Norway(Greatest Norwegian entry)
Celine Dion is not the greatest singer ever in Eurovision Corinne Hermés is much better ;) but Celine Dion came closest to Scott Fitzgerald in vocal performance that evening.
I agree on Scott - his whining, nerve-wrecking vocal wasn't even the best MALE performance that night (that is, IMO, a toss-up between Gerard Lenorman and Eric Sharpe from Ireland's Jump the Gun, with Luca Barbarossa in 3rd place).
Whinning! Surely not? I musnt have an ear for singing or music. I thought his singing was powerful (funny how No 1 & 2 on the night were like that) and the song was very impressive. IMO a very impressive performance
A some reasoned balance at last ! Thank you, my Irish friend - I always knew the Irish had such good taste! *cough* So where were u, Mr ESCsince1362?, Bangkok? Thats the city not the condition!
Midwife duties. We have quins. I should imagine you're choking now after the last comment. And you accuse me of the sucky sucky. Dont understand the 'Bangkok' reference - lost on me.
Where an I find the Italian performance?

That's it, folks - voting's closed! There were no real surprises over the winner here, since Celine Dion took the lead from the very start of the vote and moved further and further away as it went on. Similarly, Lara and Karoline locked the rest of the top-3 from early on, the only question being which one would take 2nd place (Lara, eventually). And, lower down, the (quite pleasant) surprises were the high scorings for Sweden, Portugal and Belgium - who just missed out on a place in the top-10.

Thanks for voting, and for your kind words, but you have made a small mistake here - you have given both 1 and 7 points to the Netherlands. Would you like to correct it?
tasosk3 4 years ago
Yes. Instead of the 1 pt put Sweden :D

Hey there, tasos, glad to see you up and running again! I'm just back from a party - the Danes put a heavy emphasis on those, I can tell you! Anyway, some artistic advice for your final recap(s) - experiment with more fonts for the song descriptions than Comic Sans. Your earlier videos had far better fonts, i.e.
setheurovision94 4 years ago
Hi there Seth, and glad you've found people who can give a great party! :-D And thanks for the suggestion - I actually like Comic Sans fonts, but, hey, I want you all to enjoy these recaps as much as I do, so I'll see what else I can find (I'm not sure I'll come back to my earlier fonts, though). Actually, yesterday - with my Internet connection back and better than ever before - I started work on one of your favorite years (1990!) so expect this to be up sometime during the upcoming week! :-)
tasosk3 4 years ago
Oh, cool! Looking forward to that, though it may be an emotionally challenging vote for me to make - the very first Eurovision in my memory, and a lot of songs I love. It's not gonna be easy arranging my favourites - but looking forward to it very much. And not forcing you to change your font - it is your recap after all. But thanks for taking my suggestion, hope it helps.
setheurovision94 4 years ago
To your next recap for me this is a quite important thing, try to use the best part of each song in the recap like in your last recap when the clip you took from Luxembourg 1988 was absolutely the best, but in Belgium 1983 it wasn't that good (The start and ending is the best parts in my mind). This could have a lot affection about the votes! ;-) (of course I completely understand it's a lot of work with this recaps so this is only a suggestion, not a denmanding! :-))
Mangoteppe 4 years ago
I always try to pick what I find to be the best/most characteristic part about a particular song, musically or visually (for example, for UK '81 I included the famous skirt-pulling), and in Lara Fabian's entry it was a no-brainer (and I'm glad you agree). However, it's not always easy. In some cases, I'm limited by time (I try not to include more than 30-40 secs max from each song), and there are also songs such as "Rendez-vous", whose structure makes it difficult to pick a particular part.

Yeah Belgium was good as well.. but not in my top 10..
UK had the best performance that night.. and the orchestration for the UK entry was simply fantastic.. on the other hand the studio version is not even worth listening to :)

In some ways an innovative show by RTE. Didnt think much of the stage then, but now it looks better from wide angles. The presenters wouldn't have been my choice. IMO 4 good songs, 4 or 5 ok ones and the rest. Yet again praise to our Tasos.
ESCsince1968 4 years ago
It was a innovative show! The hole production and stage and everything was great and it was MANY great songs (especially Belgium, a personal favourite as you see!). Apparently RTE desisded to update the show to attract more of the younger audience.

Thanks! You saved us from the 0 points. Our entries from this time period ('88-'91) don't seem to be very popular in these votings.
setheurovision94 4 years ago
Ah yes, the all important "pity vote." Though in retrospect I don't think one point is helping your cause all that much! I actually thought it was kind of a fun, funny, catchy tune, though I do wish they'd took a little more time with the lyrics. Sounds like they were written by Encyclopedia Brittanica.
SundownerDrifting 4 years ago
Glad to have you here again - we'd really missed you! :-) And you must be the first voter not to give any points to Celine - care to comment on that?
tasosk3 4 years ago
Hmmm...I wonder if I would have if I had no idea if she was. I still can't help but think of her as "that shrieking Titanic hag," and her style here is EXACTLY THE SAME. Probably I didn't vote for Corinne Hermès for the same reason, little feather-haired, shoulder-padded Céline prototype that she was.
SundownerDrifting 4 years ago
Yes, I totally understand where you're coming from. To be totally honest, I couldn't stand her either during her reign in the 90s (the Titanic ballad was one of her minor offences for me - I couldn't hear one note of "Think Twice" without wanting to tear my ears off!). I had to come here with an open mind to appreciate her performance, which I then had to admit is just flawless (plus, I think she's much less diva-like here).

The UK, the greatest vocal performance?... Eh, suit yourself. I agree on the stage in 1994, that was awesome.
setheurovision94 4 years ago
Celine Dion is not the greatest singer ever in Eurovision Corinne Hermés is much better ;) but Celine Dion came closest to Scott Fitzgerald in vocal performance that evening.
klarinetta 4 years ago
I agree on Scott - his whining, nerve-wrecking vocal wasn't even the best MALE performance that night (that is, IMO, a toss-up between Gerard Lenorman and Eric Sharpe from Ireland's Jump the Gun, with Luca Barbarossa in 3rd place).

tasosk3 4 years ago
I'd say Gerard Joling from the Netherlands, and then Eric Sharpe, myself.
setheurovision94 4 years ago
Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about Gerard Joling. Count him in, too (although I imagine that his sort-of-operatic voice isn't everyone's cup of tea)
tasosk3 4 years ago
Whinning! Surely not? I musnt have an ear for singing or music. I thought his singing was powerful (funny how No 1 & 2 on the night were like that) and the song was very impressive. IMO a very impressive performance
