Eurovision 1993 Voting 6/6: And finally...

The 6th and the final part of the commentary-free voting in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest in Millstreet, Ireland, as well as the prize-giving and reprise of the winning song.
Ireland are clearly leading with one jury to go, but the UK still aren't out of reach just yet...
When Malta casts its 12 points, what follows is one of my favourite 2 minutes in non-musical Eurovision history; the audience's reaction always makes my day.

Why say the man on the phone: Here is Malta calling. ? Norway is the last country on the scoreboard?!

@ESCfanNo1 If you had watched the other videos of this voting, you would know that because of technical difficulties, they had to delay the votes from Malta until the end.

The best song won, Sonia handled it beautifully at the end there. What makes me laugh is Niamh being understandably cheesed off with the over the top pawing she gets from the Maltese singers, she has to fight them off & loses an ear-ring

i think switzerland was the best but ireland was also a very deserved winner!

[SimsMoyal]

The Maltese singers obviously felt she owes them the victory therefore treated her as if she was theirs...

@setheurovision94 some urban legends says that they knew that Malta will break all the tension if they would have voted in their original time slot therefore being saved for last as a "techinical problem"

@AndrewUK1987 yes ..... no chance for that ever to occur today

I miss the days of Eurovision voting being so nail-bitingly close and the huge roar from the crowd on the final deciding vote. The last time we saw this was 2003...

Very banale song, volgare performing of that Kavanah!

I'm Maltese and I'm so proud of the way Malta voted here! And to people from the UK who are complaining, eventually Malta became one of the very few friends UK has in the Eurovision Song Contest (remember the classic 12 points to Scooch in 2007?) Unfortunately the UK did not reciprocate this year, giving us no points in this year's semifinal :(

@rochenic Was für eine unglaubliche Freude! Es ist schön solche Momente noch einmal erleben zu dürfen!

[sassygirlie89]

Remember this as well as a 13 year old. We were at a party where the parents had won tickets to go see it live in millstreet. There was a huge gang of us who were all metallers/grungers getting drunk and not really giving a shit until we watched the results. That last vote was such craic, a huge bunch of young lads in leather jackets etc jumping around the place when ireland won just to stick it it to the english...ah memories.
