Eurovision 1988 - Wilfried - Lisa Mona Lisa

[salvandfredscovers]

They say that this mans really good!

NIL POINTS! but song ok!

[MrTom1401]

Austria almost is a mystery for all other Countries !

[TheDrazevnik]

Who's the commentator?

[RobertoGumpi]

Wilfried kann halt nicht singen aber die Nummer ist gut.

Und irgendwie passt Wilfried dann doch genau.

Irgendwie ein kleines Juwel die Nummer.

[RobertoGumpi]

Das Lied ist besser als bewertet. Für den Songcontest zu "kompliziert"

[mocoro007]

BEST SONG EVER!!!

[COLONEL961]

yes hello klarinetta,your from iceland right? their first song glendabankin was one of my favourittes-i had the icelandic tape of their song for europe that year,it was originally by a solo performer then 2 more singers were added.wilfried seemed a little nervous,but sometimes certain people perform exceptionally well when nervous-have u checked out 2011,tell me yr favourite

[TheDt1973]

Not that bad, this and finalnd shouldn't have placed last. Unless Corsaircid wants to blame the jews for that too.

[Corsaircid]

@TheDt1973 Its not a case of me blaming the Jews.

Its just that Austria had a President who was a German Soldier whose Unit committed war crimes.This was shown by the media a lot at the time.

Germany's song entry was also good in the contest but also got poor marking.I might blame the Jews for that too! Only Joking!!!

Like it or not the Euro vision always has always being suspect in political bias by some countries towards others.

Something to think about,

Cheers!

warum dieses lied damals ausgewählt wurde, frag ich mich bis heute! wilfried & backgroundsängerin waren furchtbar!

[COLONEL961]

one of my fav eurosongs-but he didn,t sing strong enough on the night

[klarinetta]

@COLONEL961 One of the most nervous act I've seen in Eurovision history I can only think of two worse that is UK 2003 and Denmark 2002

[AFAFRANEWS]

wenn der für jeden RICHTIGEN Ton einen Finderlohn bekommen würde, er würde

sich NICHTS zu essen kaufen können !

[zaunschirmseppl]

Ich war erst voriges Jahr auf einem Wilfried-Konzert. Diese Mann ist weltklasse!

Zu gut für solch einen Bewerb.

[scheissprozedur]

klassischer fall von fremdschäm !

[Karl0vassi]

Unfassbar!

Warum haben die eigentlich MICH nicht zum Song-Contest geschickt? Ich sing zwar genauso schlecht, bin aber bei weitem nicht so hässlich.

[zippedizappedi]

I couldn't believe it when I saw it back then and I still can't believe it today. Neither he nor she can sing but his complete inability is simply overwhelming. Never again have I seen anyone on TV singing that badly. Why didn't they withdraw the song after the first rehearsal? Why did anyone in Austria send this man with this song in the first place? It's a mystery.

[Corsaircid]

Hi zippedizappedi,

It was due to the fact that the Austrian President Kurt Waldheim was to blame for the result of Austria getting No Points.

No matter what song Austria put out,good or bad,Waldheim was embroiled in controversy being against the Jews from 1986-1988.

In early 1988 the international committee concluded he was in fact NOT a war criminal.

This is the probably the first time that politics decisively influenced a Eurovision result for a country.

Cheers!

[COLONEL961]

@Corsaircid you might have a good point there but Austria have won it in the 1960,s
