Eurovision 1968 - Cliff Richard - Congratulations

[Dodge76]

How much does he look like Will from Will & Grace?

[MrGrandeCupcake]

the real winner was Massiel ;)

[agustingfl]

Lo siento, pero la "real winner" del 68 fue Massiel ;)

Agua y ajo, que España también ha enviado muchos años buenas canciones y han quedado de las últimas

[elcomentador1]

I think that Masiel's song was better than this.

[Moskwicz412]

he was the real winner, and I would say that not onbly in 1968, but in the whole history of Eurovision .

[gallafey]

that presenter doesn't half rabbit on when the song starts, naybe its Terry Wogan pretenting to be french

[ChittaundDixi]

„I do not see, why gays and lesbians should not marry. I know same-sexual pairs which are since decades together“, said the 71-year-old. „For them this respect is a marriage, even if it does not become so-called at the moment.“

About that Richard meant compared with BBC: „Many of my friends are gay. If we are honest sometimes, now homosexuality is legal for over 30 years. For me obligation is important – I leave the judgement God.“

[ChittaundDixi]

The statement comes unexpectedly, because there have been speculations about the sexual orientation of the singer in the past over and over again. The rumours were heated up by Richards autobiography in which he reported that he lives together for many years with an ex-priest. (mg) 18.10.2011

I am a big fan of Cliff Richard.

[ChittaundDixi]

My opinion after this is that the most original song Richards. So original like sir Cliff Richard is same. This song after 44 years is still sung till this day on birthdays all over the world. And just sir Cliff is till this day the most successful singer all times!!!

So sir Cliff Congratulations!!!

[christian4ever4]

Is this song originally Richard's ?!

[ChittaundDixi]

According to a documentation on the Spanish television the franco-regime should have bribed these jurors to polish up the image of her country. There are proofs up to now none. But the clues are sufficient for the poor Britons. With delight they rush at an apparently long preserved trauma.

[ChittaundDixi]

If they went, nevertheless, with Richards and "Congratulations" as a very high favorite to the running. When the result was certain then, the British audience was shocked. And the 67-year-old pained. "If there are for it proofs that I am the winner, then there would be no happier person on earth", said Richard to the Guardian.

[infidelity89]

Cliff Richard likes to eat cock.

[maryjane9221]

@infidelity89 If you dont have anything nice to say about Cliff - then just keep ur opinions to urself ok?

Ur the one that likes to eat cock you loser!

A Mad Cliff Fan.

[infidelity89]

@maryjane9221

Open your eyes.

What man doesn't have any possible female sexual relationship in 50 years that isn't gay?

What man lives alone with 'his male friend' for 10 years and is considered a straight man?

The dude likes to eat cock and take it up the ass.

[maryjane9221]

@infidelity89 Why dont you crawl back under ur rock you loser. U dont know what Cliff is all about - his private life, so dont go inventing lies about him ok? For ur information he is a Christian - Christians do not believe in sex outside of marriage - he doesnt sleep around like most pple do. Being gay is evil, it is the devil's worship, he is a Christian - they are against being gay as it is going against God. He simply hasnt met the rite person yet.

[infidelity89]

@maryjane9221

Wouldn't it fuck up your life if you found out your poster boy gobbled cock every night?

Oh, and I'm saying he's a total homosexual - I'm saying he's breaking bible rules - he's doing the devil's worship - because he's taking a total pounding in the ass.

[infidelity89]

@maryjane9221

PS. You realise Cliff Richard supports evil?

He publicly supports gay rights, so he's totally doing the devil's worship.

Face it - Cliff Richard is a total cocksucking faggot.

[xr6lad]

@infidelity89

Unlike yourself that has a fixation on other peoples sex lives. Its obvious you must be a church going man because it always appears its only up tight god botherers that seem to want to stick their noses into other peoples sex lives - is that because you don't have any. Or your wife threaten to call the police if you tried to touch up another kid...

[CArdsadET]

i didnt know that Eurovision was invented so long time ago. Nowdays its so shitty that i dont watch it.

[suzuki15655]

AUSTIN POWERS!

[TheRicard100]

massiel was too better....

La, la la, the best song!

[MrHydrent]

@TheRicard100 ´to good or much better´ I mean no harm, let`s all just have a nice day.

[TheRicard100]

@MrHydrent i don't care anything you sayd...!

[castoono2]

Such amount of garbage here, smells like jealousy, puaff

[hardyfh1]

Everyone thinks Cliff won, which is not surprising. Who remembers the song that did win? No-one. Great performance. I wish I could dance like that. Over forty years ago and people still remember the song. Not bad that. How many winners from the past two decades can you remember? I liked that one from Iceland a decade or more ago. Keep going. Patricia Kaase was the best, but it got nowhere. So well done Cliff. I wonder if he would be interested at having another go.

[ChittaundDixi]

Cliff Richard was a real gewinner Eurovision in 1968. Something has not run erlich.!!!

[ChittaundDixi]

Wonderfully!!!!!!!!

[everhard1000]

CLIFF IS A SUPERSTAR !!!

[indaneitor]

omg austin powers!

[KathyMuss]

My grandmother loved him soo much! She once made a scarf to him in different colors. His agent called her and thanked for the scarf! Crazy how things can turn out to be! But yes! he sing wonderfull!

[Theodora2208]

oh he's so cute, and yes, reminiscent of Austin Powers. How funny!

[dirkbaeke]

the real winner!

[mba113]

the backingvocals......... HOT!

[Magndj]

How could spain win that year????

[kanenkitten]

@Magndj: I think the 2 reasons are Franco and Bribes

[lorenapucela]

@kanenkitten JA JA JA please, estudy history, Know the things that happened, and then you can talk. Spanish song is more better than this men, is very boring, and the clothes...uf...is very ridiculous

[kanenkitten]

@lorenapucela: So this is more boring than a song which is mainly made up of the word "la"? I think not!

[MrsAnabelaMagic]

@Magndj Franco buy the victory...

[humpmaster63]

brave man wearing those clothes, wow that outfit 

[TheThreeThieves]

he got no points at all for this

[adamsworld2k8]

its a gay austin powers!

[hunkhk]

did he win? cannot stand him or the song

[eldospinks]

@hunkhk He came second. The guy who ran the Spain at the time, Franco, actually fixed the show.

[rjmlaird]

Austin Powers!!!

[TheKylmar]

So THAT'S where they got the idea for Austin Power's suit.

[spikeman14]

@TheKylmar It was the fashion back in the 60's >_>

[UKpatriot90]

wow look at those girls... they look so hot in those short dresses!!

[MrDarkbloom]

Yep, it's Austin Powers :))

[samylenzo]

1968 and 1973

[rarezatv]

TU MERECIAS EL PREMIO. SIENTO QUE EL PUTO FRANCO TE ROBASE LA VICTORIA

[MrsAnabelaMagic]

@rarezatv BIEN DICHO!!!

[vaRiiLittle]

@rarezatv ¿tu de verdad crees que Massiel no ganó merecidamente? Ella convenció y tenía un bozarrón. Este... convence, pero vocalmente 0. Dejas mucho que desear con tu comentario.

[1964mazinger]

@rarezatv Como se pueden decir tantas tonterias con tan pocas palabras...

[cliffsshadow]

Congratulations Cliff! (Cliff's fans might be interested in checking out our version of this song on our Myspace site - follow link on our Youtube page.)

[JimmyVonJim]

i'm very stoned and definitely felt the need to watch this twice, excellent

[Sergioperis]

Bah, "La,la,la" it's much more better than this.

[gentil79]

love the backup singers... mind you, those girls are pensioneers nowadays!

[jsbd1]

Brian would have won with this. Where is his tambourine?

[Lesh246]

he looks like a thunderbirds character lol

[boredoutmehead]

did he win ?

[linuszero]

@boredoutmehead  No he didn't

[LolDinAbe]

@boredoutmehead Cliff has never win ;D

[zoukwil]

SPAIN LA LA LA AND MASSIEL S'IL VOUS PLAT!

[anfosi]

I thought he was David Bowie when he was young

[AnnoyingLittleShit]

@anfosi I thought he was Austin Powers!

[smiffy992]

AUSIN POWERS!!!

[silvershields]

forever to be played at ever wedding forever

[AlexandrMaltsev]

Perfect! =)

[jeempke88]

Haha the way he dances, i love it.

The year i was born.

[TonyW1000]

Nice to see Cliff was young once upon a time. Bruce Forceeye (though he does'nt actually have a force eye) always seems to have been old even when viewing his TV shows from decades ago. This song, in my view, probably should have won. Nevermind.

[Muetes]

some english people must accept that spain won eurovision 1968 and they shouldn't invent lies

[FFplayerUK]

It's not lies, it's actually been proven and documented that Franco paid off some jury members to give Spain a win ... I am neither British, nor do I like this song, but given all, 'La, La La' was the better song, so no matter what happened, keeping this song off the top was a good thing!

[Muetes]

Franco was so loved and Spain had so money that we gave money to the embassies, if there are

[vannet]

lol the commentator is Norwegian :O

[cheriesc]

Cliff and his song Congratulations were much better than the winner.

I heard spanish dictator Franco had the vote rigged....

[Deipnosofista]

@cheriesc The best song of Eurovision 1968 is the French one, "La source" sung by Isabelle Aubret, followed by Swedish and Irish songs.

[sebyoifys]

don `t cry for me uk

[Rhubba]

I love the idea that General Franco bribed some of the other juries that year to vote for Spain. Cliff was robbed!

[sebyoifys]

thanks germany

[TheWaserat]

bingotheraccoon : I think you live either in the wrong world or you are just retarted ... This song was done in 1968 , Autin Powers is a movie from the early 2000's.

Austin Powers Was based on PARODIE'S of the 60's like James Bond and the Saint and contains elements from the 60's to the late 80's .

[TheSuperPoint]

This song is better than the spanish who won.... Spain not deserved won....

[Babyhowdy233]

Hmm..I was thinking that the UK WON that year with Cliff's song here.

[tienmublu]

The Spanish song did win. It was the day I was born and my mother told me about Cliff singing "Congratulations".

[Babyhowdy233]

Yes you are right!

I checked and Spain's entry did indeed win..although all these years later I still think that Cliff was BETTER! =)

[tienmublu]

definitely more memorable, and I think better, too!

[bingotheraccoon]

I mean NO disrespect. He is a very good singer, and the song is very nice. But was Austin Powers based on this man? I know the style was popular then... But that is the Austin Powers outfit.

[Babyhowdy233]

You are only 24 years YOUNG, so you don't remember that those velvet suits and lacy shirts were all the rage in the 1960s in England and-to a certain degree-other parts of Europe and America. It was called the "Carnaby Street Look" and was a style unique to the style sensibilities of the "Swinging '60s". Folks like Cliff, Cat Stevens, Adam Faith, etc. helped to make it very popular at that time.

[doubletom90]

I enjoyed this song, and this song is very famous now! congratulations!

[1234simsalabim1234]

Cliff Richard og Wenche Myhre passer bra til hverandre, ikke sant?

[corringhamlad]

Forget the song... those clothes!!!!

[Babyhowdy233]

You gotta LOVE that "Carnaby Street"

look! It was all the rage in London in the 1960s! =)

[funcnot]

very nice lol some people think it may make a comeback lol

[junari65]

Just !

[gusinfante]

I have mixed feelings about this song... hehehe

[LucasHammar]

Vilka snygga kläder han har på sig, han påminner mig om Austin Powers.

[bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbba0]

du har rätt xD
