Eurovision 1990 - Joëlle Ursull - White and black blues

[emanuelabigail]

Najbolja pjesma Eurosonga ikad. Bravo!

[hannesthefreakl]

this had won with televoting!

[The6587Aladin]

this is the best song of that time it should win.

but now its LMFAO

[jlmcemoi]

elle chante quand même comme une casserole, tant de fausses notes du début jusqu'à la fin

[MrClaudiojuan]

@jlmcemoi ah non! aucune fausse note! tu n'as pas d'oreille! joëlle chante juste, a un joli timbre de voix même si elle n'a pas un coffre immense, du coup contrairement à qq chanteuses braillardes, elle ne crie pas et interprète ses chansons avec subtilité!

[YvanJules]

why she didn't win is beyond me..

[dunbunter]

I remember it as better.

[scorpiostorm]

France 1990 - one of the favourites (a very beautiful woman, African spirit of the song...)

Norway 2011 - stuck in the semis, lots of racist comments regarding the singer's ethnicity (also African)

Is it just me or has Europe changed drastically since the 90s?

[ChorleyClaret1981]

The song that many viewers make a cup of tea

[ahoumi]

Malgré les années, cette chansons est super. Belle Joèlle Ursull et belle chanson, Merci beaucoup; cette chanson me rappelle enormement de bon souvenir.

[yalvin23]

when will I see eurovision in my country???

[dalibor8]

bravo Lisinski,bravo Zagreb,bravo Joelle,Francuska 12 points!!! from Croatia!!

[stayforevertoshine]

just love it one of the best of them all

[hannesthefreakl]

If there had been televoting I do think this wpuld have won.

[bam859]

Great song, terrible singer. This would have (deservedly) beaten Toto had it been sung better.

[chileepengwin]

I think there have been a few years in Eurovision where France were robbed of victory - 1991, 2001 and now partly think 1990.

[SerBianCosmo]

@chileepengwin France 2003 is great song too! Cheers

[SerBianCosmo]

greeeeeat song!!! From Serbia again )))))

[bluemechin]

this f**king dutch language!

[starforce224]

un génie ce Gainsbourg

[coxoxi]

oh my god!!! this one and bandido best songs ever, still give me chills after all those years <3

[Ohioma]

I can't help but notice that if you pause at 3:37 you can see that she didn't shave her pits :-(

[Furienna]

@Ohioma: Could it be a shadow?

[cyberserbin]

VERY VERY GOOD ALL BEST FROM SERBIA

[BobRenoir]

12 points from Serbie!

[klarinetta]

This is a great song but 1990 was a very strong year but unfortunately one of the weakest song of the evening won :(

[Martinofredwall100]

France shoudl had won!

[Eurafrican]

Joelle Ursull ne pourrait pas vraiment chanter... Mais j'adore le message de la chanson et les danseurs...

En revanche, elle etait si belle...

[juvibasu]

@Eurafrican je ne ecrire pas bien francais mais je le peu lire un peu. Je suis d´cord avec toi, la elegance, et la profesionalité de les danseurs. Pour moi THE WINNER .Une salutatios de les Iles canariens

[Eurafrican]

@juvibasu c'est pas vrai, tu ecris bien le francais! moi, je ne suis pas francais aussi. d'où viens-tu?

[KusinerneAF]

wheres she from?

[tigrakos123]

@KusinerneAF according to wikipedia, she is from Guadeloupe.

[mrMantosis]

monkey. xD

[Colorshade]

She could have saved the screamy "HEEY! HEEY! HEEY" though -.-

[kaykobra]

Such delicacy and feminity in this gorgeous woman. She's a true beauty, that lasts. She has it all - beauty and talent. Her song Miyel I love the most, but White and Black Blues is also to remember...

[tadge72]

they were kinda robbed on the night- by italy? but noone really likes the french i suppose! good song.

[L11ourdes]

Absolutely brilliant!

[keijimuto]

Unfortunately this song was ahead of Song Contest Times, so no one understood ist. Simply Joelle was in the wrong competition.

[Discoboy1974]

@keijimuto Which is why she finished on a shared 2nd position???

[IAgbaba]

I know that I have seen a million times that people wrighting similar comments, but I just can't help it: " I don't know what is she singing about, but I love this song!"

[unioniste]

zouk machine avant non? ^^"

[flipp502]

i never fore get this song and this exelente women when she sing the song in the final contest , i standing op and screeming :this is the winner to night, she is a maising person and the song whas right in this time , i never foregott the drums and the energi in the song.

[Mihaela977]

One of the best song from the history of Eurovision.

[BladeSlipper]

You're SOOOO right! ESC classics!

[SuperDIVINE69]

SUPER!!!!!

[skylie0]

ok.....qu'est ce qui s'est passe apres avec joelle ursull...c est elle qui etait tres belle la..on n'a plus entendy parler d'elle...

I had a pretty face like that i d ensure it ..I d ensure it.....!!!!!!! kes k est devenu joelle ursull ?

[Furienna]

I would liked Yugoslavia to be 2nd instead of France that year, but this is still a very good song.

[amet1980]

its the only year i remember almost all songs...

so many goog sons that year.

[dasgellendehorn]

Eigentlich kann ich gar nicht sagen, warum ich das Lied nie vergessen habe. Irgendwas ist mit dem Lied. Es hat was. Aber was, das weiss ich nicht. Dass ich es nicht vergessen habe, das kommt bei nicht gar so vielen Liedern des Song Contests vor.

Danke

[csihon]

Well you know a great song when after 19 years you still have not forgotten it and can't have enough of it. Thanks to whoever posted it. I have been looking for since 1990 that I last saw it. Joelle is still a bomshell...very very beautiful woman. I think there was a bit of bias from the judges not to make this song win, it was the best. I think the African drums, and stunning beauty scared the European judges

[inspireradavstatyer]

Scared? She was placed second! I don't think she scared too many.

[otto8855]

@csihon

"I think there was a bit of bias from the judges" - bias? in a Eurovision contest? No!

[SPEAKERSR]

@csihon I completely agree with you my friend :)

TOTALLY

[woodlandguy76]

My all-time-favourite, should easily have won. Elegance and professionalism all through :)

[zarkoasenov]

agreed

[HSHTaltool]

She represented France with grace, Elegance and groove. Can't believe she didn't win that year...

[setheurovision94]

Great song, very exotic and catchy. It has this universal appeal which one can say Eurovision is all about. The only thing I can fault is Joelle's not-so-fabulous singing voice.

[haplo81421]

Serge Gainsbourg was genius!

[Flavio1218]

Good song but what a big hair!

[justinecher80]

Elle est vraiment exotique et sensuelle , but out of this the song is mediocre, not to say awful . 1990 was a bad year

and honestly this song deserved nothing .

[liatse]

The best song, it should have win.

[talaveitoga]

Joelle Ursull was definitely the best entry that year. With Amina in 1991, I feel that France was robbed on several occasions. This song should definitely have won.

[minkoss]

She should have won! She was the best

[henrixslsn]

come on. She can't hold one tone in tune.

[damskin]

Of one thing I am certain - This should have wone in 1990, by far the best that year!

[bjarnyg]

yes it was! it didn't win because people tend to disregard songs that isn't quite what they're used to hear.

[Anaharp]

I loved this song when I was five, and now also...timeless...wonderful

[lilucorban]

BEST EUROVISION!

I am so glad it was in my country back then in Yugoslavia

[consumero]

Maravillosa canción,en un año donde habia auténticas joyas musicales.Merecia el triunfo,como otras,pero sólo tiene que ganar uno.1990 es como 1994,donde hay maravillosas canciones,muchas merecedoras del triunfo,pero sólo se podia ganar una.

[RamWhamBam]

Charm, Elegance, Sensuality, Sexuality , this lady has it in abundance - a wonderful testimony to the days when Eurosvision was simply unmissable! Vive la France

[mladenas]

beautiful!

[supermodelavadora]

simply divine......shes gourgeous
