I am forever debating the best ever Eurovision song. Apres Toi is always on the short list. L'amour est bleue should have won by a mile back in 1967. This is a classy song, no doubt.
Heres a thought!! Of the 3 French language songs winning Eurovision in the early70s ie 1971 Severine,72 Vicky and 73 Anne-Marie which singer has the thinnest voice?Yes,its VL.She only just makes that toi in a few places.
i won't say much abot the lyrics, i rarely like a song's lyrics and yes this one is about average.But the music and the sound of Vicki...this makes me feel strange...The way she looks..her eyes...have a exciting (and pleasing) mystery...
@ charmedgr oh, i misunderstood your first comment,sorry about that. Not only Greece, i think the whole world should be proud of her. There rarely comes such a talent like Leandros...
@ud1966 i totally agree...and look at ESC now...there rarely joins a "singer" with a considerable "song" and they have no chance to win ESC since nowadays people want to hear noise instead of real music.
Superbe interprétation et il faut saluer la maîtrise incroyable du chef d'orchestre car elle "bouffe" une partie du second couplet et l'orchestre se resynchronise avec elle.

@tarqogan: of course you could try to learn another language and understand what she sings about, then, maybe, you would undrstand the black dress, idiot
Along with 'Hallelujah' this is one of those songs that always turns up on Eurovision compilation CDs, and just like with 'Hallelujah' I can't stand it - I think it's dreary and whiney! Far preferred the Luxembourg winner the following year. And (off-topic a bit, sorry) I can't help thinking that the BBC just weren't trying with that stage set...
@Hawkwoman246 Fair comment about the songs, but the 'stage set' was fine. it's no worse than any other for the time up to then. It's only comparatively recently that technology, special effects (and dancing) have taken the whole thing away from being a SONG contest to being a full-on light-and-sound extravaganza, in which stage decoration somehow becomes important to the proceedings. But the stage set shouldn't be important in a SONG contest.....surely?
Actually this is one of the few occasions on which Ms Leandros has been able to hold (almost) all the notes of a song. Her performance of the classic "L'amour est bleu" in the 1967 ESC was not good at all, and in the 2006 German final she was a total disgrace.
Although the UK entry was a better song (and performance), it failed to win, probably because many judges resented the home team's heavy publicity campain. And, when all is said and done, "Après toi" does remain a true classic.
je n avais que 10 ans mais cette chanson m avait marqué et apres l avoir entendu hier à la radion j avais envie de l écouter en boucle.quelle beauté vicky.
Bon, cette fois elle a gagné l'abérration de 1967 a été réparé. Vicky est à mon point de vue la meilleure chanteuse de ballade de cette époque jusqu'a nos jours.
Une décision innexplicable du point de vue artistique, Sandie Shaw a gagné avec "Puppet on a string", je n'ai rien contre elle mais allez ecouter sa prestetion et ensuite écoutez Vicky chanter "L'amour est bleu" et vous allez comprendre.
ma mère adore cette chanson lol je la connais depuis toute petite :-S

One of the best ESC songs ever. In the 70ies all songs wihich ranked on peak positions were sung by people who really were able to sing.
