Even when TOTP2 show this as part of their Eurovision specials, they try and make out that it was a cover of a Kylie song. It wasn't. The only thing it had in common was the title.
I agree Sonia was a great singer, but to say that she deserved to win that years title is crazy... It was a blatant rip off of Kylie Minogue's song and there was no originality in the lyrics or the tune..... Back then it was all about the song ... the the "air-quote-glam" and therefore Ireland totally deserved to win.... Our country's song writers produced heart melting songs for a time that appreciated the quality of a lyric
@klarinetta And yet another Klarinetta bitter anti-UK comment. These "overrated" entries are still light years better than any of your mediocre entries.
Quite honestly, Britain was lucky to come second... Slovenia, Croatia and many other countries had better songs. This one is just another piece of bubblegum fluff churned out by the Stock Aiken Waterman machine.
I don't think this at alöl deserved 2nd place.. It was many way better sings that ended in the lower opart of the result list, like Belgium, Croatia, Bosnia-hercegovina, Turkey, Germany for example...
@jackacw Absolutely agree. I don't think the UK have a hope of winning any more anyway. We could enter with someone as famous as Paul Macartney or Elton John and still not win!
it was a fantastic performance... Sonia did it great! But i think she had sung much better songs than this the years before...

I like Sonia's time with SAW but this song despite having the same title as that
done by Kylie, is where the similarity ends. It would have been nice to have had
Sonia record the same ''Devil You Know' as Kylie but l aways wondered just how good it might have been in comparison!

Sweden here!
That was my absolute favorite in Eurovision 1993 and Sonia and her song and performence is fantastic!
Sweden sent Arvingarna and their song Eloise and i don´t know what the people in Sweden think... One word: Loosers!

This song had nothing to do with Stock Aitken Waterman. They had dropped her long before. This is by Nigel Wright
The Stock Aitken Waterman song "Better The Devil You Know" is by Kylie and it shits all over this

I know understand why Holland ended 6th. The Dutch had a rather bad draw after the over-catchy United Kingdom. Sad, but it's a fact.
