  • One of the better UK ESC songs.

  • I love this song. Awesome vocals and a catchy tune. Totally 80s, totally fantastic. Not sure the song is helped by Maynard doing a Bugs Bunny impression after every bar.lol

  • British Music Are Top:-)

  • He looks more like Ken Dodd's son, lol!

  • Imagine the shock i got when i found out that Maynyard Williams was the son of the actor who played the unforgettable "Greengrass". Over here in Norway, Greengrass will not be forgotten for years to come! My fav. Esc song ever..

  • i love BILL maynard!

  • I think this is our (the UK's) very best Eurovision entry, above all others.

  • Ha - funny what you come across when you Google {Ryder "Runner in the night}. Five posts here alone by the same guy praising the song skywards, with no less than three of 'em lauding singer Maynard Williams' "fabulous performance". Song's his only favourite too. And on another link I just clicked, some site called 80s chat forum, there was empear1 too! Again, registered just to write one post singing the praises of Williams.

    Really -- Maynard -- is that you? ;-)

  • does anyone have "dont hang up on love" by jump which came second in the song for europe, especially the wogan show preview?

  • Agree with you views on Ryder's song holding up over time, but am simply unable to understand your continuing love of the Belgian entry. I teach kids and their voices (squeaky and cute but lacking depth) sound exactly the same as Sandra Kim's does. No maturity in the performance at all. I'm sure it was the pink bow tie and 13 year old young flesh that got her the winning votes. Her song has nowhere near the power of Runner in the Night, or the maturity of the Swiss or Finnish entries.
