Winners Eurovision Song Contest 1956 - 2007 * Part 1

[nhf7170]

It's nice to see a recent performance of "Tu te reconnaitras." Anne-Marie David is still a stunner.

[bendu49100]

1961 : WTF is sarkozy doing there ?

[ChallieRullar]

1956-1973 was just boring songs, but then came Waterloo 1974 and did Eurovision to a much funnier and happier competion.

[Amer330]

OMG !

I never thought the Netherlands would win!

OMG!

Ik had nooit gedacht dat Nederland ooit zou winnen!

[dirkbaeke]

Italia and Germany must have won more, and 1 time Johnny Logan was enough

[halloikbenXD]

ew they are all old in the beginning

[ersii98]

omg how many french songs?

and now they can't get the 25 place!!

[LynkaWolf]

ABBA \o/ I'm impressed by how many french songs won x) ... Not always France but countries such as Luxembourg x). Aaah, way better than some stuff nowadays =]

[davinou26]

1958 France | André Claveau - Dors, Mon Amour <= Just Awesome o.O !!

1965 Luxembourg | France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son <= The best !

[davinou26]

1958 France | André Claveau - Dors, Mon Amour <= Just Awesome o.O !!

[TheJeannette39]

63,65,67,70,74,75,76,77,78,79,­and 1980. The best winnersongs ever .

[carpediem3245]

I love 1971 "Un abre, un banc, un rue" from Monaco. Wonderful sound and also a good song whith German texts.

[hariukzas]

ABBA forever :) !!!!!

[Denisewoei]

1975 Netherlands | Teach-In - Ding-A-Dong yessss :D

[hendialys]

Have you noticed that, at first, every singer was used to sing in their OWN language ? That was better, because Eurovision is supposed to be a way for each Nation to show its culture, starting from its language. It's a shame that it's nothing more than just a song contest nowadays. As if English was really spoken all over U.E! Anyway, this programme is no longer watched, except in Easten Europe... where the votes are already sorted out according to the politics backgrounds of each country!

[LoopyTheBubblebrain]

1972 - Luxemburg, THE BEST SONG EVER !!!

[perimest]

the songs 1956-1964 sounds all nearly the same ;-)

[especial0]

@perimest right! it was Serge Gainsbourg who broke this tendency of winning ballads with Poupee de cire poupee de son

[Demian10x]

@TheBlackMamba3

Un premier amour's video is actually not un premier amour

[castoono]

Terrible choices for years 1956-1973 the person who made this video doesn't know about those entries, or despises them, so puts 10 insignificant seconds of pointless parts of those songs while from Abba on the choices are simply perfect. Eurovision was huge in the 60s,

[an2kinforever]

i just hope asia has something like this. :(

[bordkrijt]

Yay The Netherlands won 4 times !! :D

[irjajit]

FYI, ABBA itself was an imitation. Watch the swedish entry of 1971.

[lelnum5]

all imitated ABBA after 1974 LOL

[swetwilighter]

SWEDEN !!!! :D

[ChristianBeadlesSWE]

SWEDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The121212axel]

Denmark :)

[fennomena84]

it's a shame luxembourg isn't participating anymore

[97Lime]

SWEDEN ARE BEST!!

[TheCoquigirl]

merci beaucoup pour la vidéo ^^

[Wimpiemein]

Sorry, In 1969 there were 4 winners. Not in 1956.

[bart122333]

ABBA changed the contest so much! Look at the difference between pre- and post-1974 songs!

[zackeemzy]

IS 1960 a new performance ? Since all the others are black and white

[irjajit]

@zackeemzy yes. so is 1962.

[hermione05031969]

thank you for this video :)

[sasje19995]

[ESCsvk]

[maeloul]

1965 :D i love it

[Adrienx]

"Après toi", la plus belle chanson ! "L'oiseau et l'enfant" aussi.

Maintenant ils chantent tous dans la langue du marketing !... C'est sans âme.

[mx060990]

My favourites: "Poupée de cire,poupée de son" (1965),"La,la,la"(1968),"Vivo cantando"(1969),"Waterloo" (1974),"Save your kisses for me"(1976),"What's another year?"(1980)

[madman24100]

who held the eurovision in 1970 since 4 countries won it?



[Sandra15243]

how can it first be black and white. After color, but after then black and white again ??

[RussTube59]

1974 best-known of course. 1967 Great to see Sandi Shaw. 1972 Vicky Leandros nice song too.

[Mentalii11]

Oh comme ça fait bizarre ! Oo

[Jejkan95]

everyone tried to emulate abba the two years after their win!

[fckboy96]

1974 abba? haha omg it´s normal that abba wins!

[xSasuNaruAmutox]

1981 i feel like i am watching the wiggles..lma

[2short99]

I like the french language but dam lol like every winning song was french literally back then...it mustve been In to sing french then. lol now its english.

[ameniawii]

Sweden is the best!!!

[milaneza007]

1974-ABBA was the best song of all

[Onafee1849]

ABBA was the best of all time!

[PearlMiriam]

My fav of these: Abba, Marie Myriam and Gigliola Cinquetti. :) Have to say that Abba really cheered up the mood of ESC. :D

[AnneLien1987]

Leuk :)

[hefer22]

some of these songs became classics of music.

but it was so much better when country sang in their own language.

[yadviga7]

Не понимаю кто им вообще дал победить в 56 ??? !!!

[p65m]

weldone from the UK to the 2010 winner lena from germany shame we came last lol

[jumanji0706]

:) Nice TheBlackMamba3 that s great and nice

[jumanji0706]

Eurovision...

[nmgscp]

I add one amazing song, maybe one of the best songs ever that should have participated in the Eurovision, and would, in my opinion have been the best in 2005: Aline Lahoud from Lebanon - Quand tout s'enfuit, who wasn't allowed to participate for stupid political reasons, whoever is to be blamed. Quite sad it didn't!

[mariyuuss]

Wow france was good... And Germany... Ein bisschen Frieden... I hate this song... :/

[benedictus811]

[becca0668]

why is there 4 winners in 1956 did they get the same score or something ?

[TheBlackMamba3]

They all had the same score at the end and they can't vote twice at the end so they all won the eurovision togethr ;')

[HIHIMIII56]

@becca0668 Qui. Avec les années la musique sést empiré de plus en plus.

El Classico es France Gall!

[fotinossimatodotis]

@becca0668 yes the same score

[Chrissel88]

@becca0668

i can only see one winner in 1956...where are the other 3?

[mongogustav]

@becca0668

not too be picky or anything but u got the year wrong. it was in 1969 there 4 winners not in 1956 since spain first made their debut in 1961

[mhtsos190]

the best winners

1965-1972-1973-1974-1975-1977

[Wolli1960]

IMHO 1970

[starkoo]

1969 4 winning its not true Netherlands winning the contest, 1970 Amsterdam!

[Wolli1960]

4 winners is correct, they all had the same point score. But only the Netherlands were prepared to host the contest 1970.

[vladinhoemiliano]

Lordi the best

[Marja1992]

Good old times. Its too much about the dancing and what's going on on the stage these days..

[TheImaineGirl]

It was damn many french songs in the beginning xD

And, yaay, Sweden won 1974!!:-D

[nmgscp]

@TheImaineGirl It wasn't at all one of the best Abba songs, in my opinion, but it was very relevant.

[LineaFuglsig]

year go Denmark i love the one from 1963

[mads27galt]

Damn, but it's fun to watch the old winners! Thanks for uploading! *****

[robberg99]

damn luxenburg won it many times thats crazy

[Wolli1960]

Yep, and very few artists were really citizens of Luxembourg. But most of the songs were good.

[bitte52]

Sweden is best!

[Schery09]

1977 France | Marie Myriam - L'Oiseau Et L'Enfant

deserved to win!

what a great song...

[LightxX602]

2003 winner the best in esc history;)

[TomasuDexter]

1965! I love France Gall!

[Sealsealdk]

1965, France Gall for the win!!

[yakta81]

2006 winner is the best

[RaffaellaQ]

1959 winner was ...awfull!

I liked when Dana International won,and Alexander Rybak and Lordi! And abba of course

[Alice555foxylady]

Lordi?????? I don't think they was oretty goood - just show - not the song. The best songs were angel in 2005 by Chiara (malta) , what if we (2009 - Chiara again) i like Iceland 2009 too

[0liviaGinger]

The winner 2009 is the nicest song in Eurovision toghether with Iceland naturally

[NeedleEyeProductions]

1963

[lilacinsd]

the '64 clip wasn't really from '64, right?she didn't look like 16 exactly, and the vid was in colour...

[Jullebulle1991]

look how far away the microphone was in the 50`s and 60`s from the person. Now you nearly have to eat the microphone to hear sound from it.

sry for my bad english.

[AddictingGameHelper]

boo black and white lol this is da future!!!

[TheBlackMamba3]

Lol idd, and in some years it will be in 3D lol. Like you are standing in the middle of that arena... =)

[AddictingGameHelper]

lmao

[starostaback]

i like 1965 and 1968 very much...

[aschilybaba]

I noticed that after ABBA sang waterloo 1974, every country started having four members of their group, 2 boys and 2 girls.

[zackeemzy]

@aschilybaba And then they became famous worldwide .

[RaffaellaQ]

1965-Louxemburg-was good!

Anyawy Norway had the best song ever but i am sure that 20 years ago people said that for example France had the best song ever but there will be a lot of songs is such nice to see all these songs! Ok some of them are weird but people liked other types of songs 20 years ago!

[RedheadDane]

Come on guys... lets not argue about which winners were good and which bad! We've all got our different opinions!

[TheBlackMamba3]

Lol and everybody may say their opinion :') Somethimes it's cool to know what others think.

[RedheadDane]

Yeah... everybody may say their opinion! But that looked an awful lot like arguing in my eyes! For example... you don't need to call someone DONKEY because they think a winner is a bad winner... (like Meigo18 does...)

[starostaback]

Hello! Do you have full version of this show (full songs)?

[TheBlackMamba3]

No i don't have that =') But I can give you certain songs you want or something. Dvd's don't exist yet. Except for this year, they've made a dvd ( 2009 ).

[NMPgroup]

LOVEE!!

WATERLOO(;

NO ONE CAN BEAT IT!

[br9reb]

Thank you so much for putting that all together!!

[maroulinaki90]

78 ISrael a ba ni bi

[siljenorway95]

2009-Norway, the best! <33

[LatvianGhostBaster]

2008-Russia 2009-Norway

[wormse]

Denmark 1963 where the best winner

[cbak12sg]

...and benefited from the most scandalous voting

[Meigo18]

estonia were bad winner ? mby your bad yourself DONKEY

[Furienna]

Most of these come off as very old-fashioned to me. But I like France 1960, Italy 1964, Luxembourg 1965, United Kingdom 1967, Ireland 1970, Luxembourg 1973, Sweden 1974 (of course), Netherlands 1975, United Kingdom 1976, Israel 1978, Israel 1979, Ireland 1980 and United Kingdom 1981.

[Furienna]

Israel 1998, Estonia 2001, Latvia 2002 and Russia 2008 were bad winners. But all the others in your list were deserved winners, so shut up!

[sona2kala]

i love Anne-Marie David - Tu Te Reconnaîtras

all time best eurovision song

[jenkaaan]

I love Johnny Logan's voice!

[Juliaotopper]

Sweden 74

Luxembourg 65

United Kingdom 69

Netherlands 75 are the best song in this part :)

[Avilennon]

I didn't know Lulu was a euro winner I love her. The Israli songs were the best I thought, especially A Ba Ni Bi love it!!!!

[Schery09]

best ever was

-> Marie Myriam

-> Grethe & Jorgen Ing

-> France Gall

-> Anne Marie

-> Teach In

they were the best in history of EVSC in this part here

[carolina1818ro]

now nobody would vote for a song like these..

[duranReuben]

how can it be 4 winners in 69??

[TheBlackMamba3]

Same points ^^ :')

[mkhnmkhn]

no israel is a little bit in europe and the rest in asia. just like russia.

[Robinek1975]

Israel the Best ^^!!!

[TheLordOfNorway]

Why is black/white and color mixed so much?

[beccici]

becuase the first couple years of the competition, the tv's were still in black & white

[TheLordOfNorway]

I know, but then it starts to change between color and black/white.

[citizenkeane]

I think some of the footage of the earlier winners might not be the actual eurovision performance. Probably performances of the songs that are more recent. At least that would be my guess.

[gilbert0que]

Uhh....isn't Israel in Asia??

[TheLordOfNorway]

Yes, I've wonder why it's in the competition to

[ShadowZone94]

the last french song is the BEST i love it

[Ackzor]

ah those french songs truly SUCK!

[boru1982]

It's weird how the first 7 years were won by French(language) or Dutch songs.

1961: Four Teams won it? Let me guess, Switzerland had the final vote!

1973: Was held in the local pub!!!!

1980: Johnny Logan, What a song!!!!

never knew Steve Borthwick was in Buck's Fizz!

[girleye]

Thank a lots for this Video

[tccph20]

I was seeing Portugal songs and they are much better. Take a look on Portugal 2008 entry and on Russia (2007 winner). Portugal entry was much better!!!!

[royraaijmakers]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, watch this and then the winners of 2006. it's such a difference!!!!!! (in the bad way) i mean, when somone can win the contest by dressing up as monsters............... does no one know any more what real music is????

[evka23]

ABBA is the best! something very different from another ones...

[potatoe12345678]

@C12830772 - i can't believe that you included Uk's 1981 win with bucksfizz!!!

UK's 1981 win was one of THE BEST eurovision songs of all time!!! EVER!!!!

[Rodejong]

I still love 1975's Ding-a-Dong

Simplicity Swings. Viva The Netherlands!

[setubalance]

oh.... and also 1980...

[potatoe12345678]

ireland deserved 1980, jonny logan was and always has been, simply fantastic.

[setubalance]

I can't believe Portugal didn't win in 1966!!!!!!! XS

[TheBlackMamba3]

:o You are right... =(

[mihai369]

Love 1965`s France Gall !

[sko12342]

wow france won alot 8O

[Musicfan121495]

ABBA's still the best!

[beckerhacker]

Pues a ojos de alguien NO-europeo fue del 56 al 79 79 sin duda la mejor etapa) y del 80 al 2007 muy mediocre a mi juicio (solo me gustó la cancion de Lordi y la Celine Dion) Del 56 al 79 me gustaron casi todos a excepcion de: Massiel (España) 1968 realmente espantosa y la de U.K. del 1969 de Lulu:Bang-a-bang igual de atroz...ni hablar del casi monopolio de ganadores irlandeses 1980-2007) casi todas mediocres y cursis

[pianist4eternity]

Johnny Logan was CUTE then.

[smellycox]

1972 Vicky Leandros 'Apres Toi' the best song ever to win Eurovision by a mile

[Nicklas94be]

My top points!!!

Sweden 12pt

Russia 10pt

Norway 8pt

Serbia 6pt

Turkey 5pt

Finland 2pt

This are all my points

[eurovision0portugal]

Watching this recap one clearly sees a descent from a politicaly oriented "contest" that was capable of producing great & memorable pop music to an utter americanized & artificial thing, an inter-national freak show without any quality, singularity or local color.

:o(

[elyonneke]

Ireland rocks! they won a lot! and they're great ^^ don't you think back in the time it were still fair,it were mostly good songs,now only the most ridiculous artists win! :s
