The first 7 years you could only hear French and Dutch :P I don't mind, cause I speak both (and I was really surprised The Netherlands won that many times XD) but it must have been boring for the rest of Europe :P
It seems that on big stages it started from early 60s... before it was like some single cafe or bar :D And electronic(with moving effects not just light or something primitive) wall behind singer just pop up in 73 ? wow :D but, then why after that there were simple stages ?
How often the Countrys won: Switzerland:2 Netherlands:3 France:5 Luxembourg:5 Denmark:2 Italy:2 Austria:1 United Kingdom:5 Spain:2 Ireland:6 Monaco:1 Sweden:3 Israel:2 Germany:2 Norway:3 Belgium:1 Serbia:2 Estonia:1 Latvia:1 Turkey:1 Ukraine:1 Greece:1 Finland:1 Russia:1 Azerbaijan:1 Ireland is the most Winner of Eurovision Song Contest. (My English is bad >-<)
My Top Ten ESC-Winners of all times: 10 Monaco 1971 Sevérine - Un banc, un arbre, une rue 09 Switzerland 1989 Celine Dion - Ne partez pas son moi 08 Danmark 1963 G. & J. Ingman - Dansevise 07 Sweden 1974 ABBA - Waterloo 06 Ireland 1987 Johnny Logan - Hold me now 05 Italy 1964 Gigiolia Cinquetti - Non ho l'età 04 Germany 2010 Lena - Satellite 03 Luxembourg 1965 France Gall - Poupée de Cire 02 Ukraine 2004 Ruslana - Wild Dance and the Best of the Best: 01 Ireland 1996 Eimear Quinn - The Voice
I like/love the songs from 1957, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1970, 1971, 1972 (!!) and 1974, but the best song in this video is La La La by Massiel from Spain in the year 1968! From Germany.
How cool was ESC when every country sang in their native languages. Nowadays most of contestants sing in english which makes it worse year after year.
i love abba but 1974 reminds me the year when Turks occupied Nothern Cyprus(my country Cyprus) and still they hold that part of my country 37 years and counting.. :/
@Mimichan86 OMG am I blind or something!??? XD It says (4 way tie) hahahaha, first i thought that was the name of the song, but then i realized that the title of the song was at the buttom.
@mjloover1 Actually there were 4 winners in 1969 - UK, Spain, Netherlands and France.
They all got the same amount of points and there was no tiebreaker-rule, so they had to announce all four as winners. Which lead many countries protesting next year, 1970, and only 10 or 11 countries participated that year.
The first 7 years you could only hear French and Dutch :P I don't mind, cause I speak both (and I was really surprised The Netherlands won that many times XD) but it must have been boring for the rest of Europe :P
