It's good to know, that Italian singing Yugoslavian/today Slovenian people as the background vocalists of Toto Cotugno participating a 2nd time in ESC after 1975 - Pepel in Kri/Ashes and blood - could win together with Toto Cotugno. In the clear sound I now can understand the Italian lyrics.- The ranking of our German performers is one of good rankings in ESC history ...
Yugoslavia was invited exactly in 1989 from the European Economic Community back then, as the first non-western country except Greece, to enter in the EEC!…but most probably the Russia opposed it and made their old friend Serbia start a brotherhood war by seizing power in the Yugoslavian Federation and, of course, it all went perfectly well to all of the republics’ politicians as the socialist economy was unsustainable anymore with hyperinflation, unemployment and public expenditure galloping as never before! So all in all it was a good solution to start a war for everyone except the poor plain people who were used by each federal country politician’s propaganda to grab what they could from the federal state and be in power in their small garden! Western Europe wanted Yugoslavia as a true European member and future democracy, but each of the republics and their politicians answered by doing what Serbia (and Russia) had planned to do: divide, ruin and make bloody war between brotherhood nations and people! Then after many many years two of the federal countries managed to enter the European Union: the pro western and developed Slovenia and the less developed and with more ties to Russia them to the west, Croatia, the latest showed it anti-European Union face even recently by its President who talked against helping Ukraine to defend from Russia! There’s lot to talk about the real policy of each country where the bigger powers still influence them and their politicians behaviour…
If the Irish song could not win, then Italy deserved more than anyone else !! Spain? 😂 Two hot chicas on stage to catch some votes from dumbs and a Gipsy King rythm so trendy at the age, but the song was less than zero. The french song is awful & incomprehensible . No need to add more.
When it mattered a beautiful melody and a good voice! Today, it's important how to shock and be twisted in the brain. It has nothing to do with singing.
Spain was robbed that night . Such a great song it was . Just for the sake of a political message to disseminate reunification of Europe after the end of Cold War , Italian song was chosen the 1st. No doubt Toto is a great singer . I give him that heartedly but his song is not equally great . Turkish entry was underrated that night . Although Kayahan had a truly Mediterranean song with great lyrics and vocals , he did not have a good result.
I find it kinda fascinating that back when it was Yugoslavia, they were often robbed/underrated at Eurovision but not really hated on. Now when they all split up, everyone started going "mehh the stupid balkans are voting for eacj other, who are they even blah blah." Goes to show that Yugoslavia was just way more important back in the day in general.
it hurts listening to how, for decades, english speaking commentaries poorly pronounce slavic (in this case, croatian) names and locations, "spicing" it up often with slight irony in their voice (like, look at those funny words). why is it so hard to ask native speakers how to properly say some words, regardless of language? there's no excuse for ignorance, especially today with all the accessible information and online language gadgets.
@@JudgeJudith names (proper nouns) are specific group of words in each language, which don't require speaking that language well or at all. For example, I don't speak any dutch, yet I know that surname Rijkard should not be pronounced /Reeikard/, but /Rye-card/ ( I wrote these in 'english' way) since it is given by Dutch grammar rules, not English, Croatian or Spanish. It is a matter of respect to pronounce one's name properly and today, to do so, you need few seconds of googling. No excuse.
Had this eurovision on video saw it a lot of times and still love it ❤

Compare this hosting of the event with the mess that was next year in Italy 😅😅😅

BBC commentary : 1way blind, biasing and showing bad taste.

I have been humming a melody from this contest over the years without knowing which one. I realize now it’s the chorus of the greek song. 😁

summary of 90's: unite unite Europe, divide divide Yugoslavia.

Bandido is wonderful...the bad start and then the sexy girls pulling back her permed fringe not forgetting the man with the castynettes

“Why is it hard for people that don’t speak a language to pronounce that languages words?” Do you hear yourself?

@@ivanbaricevic2197 Great! This video took place in 1990 so your poor point is still moot
To su bila dobra vremena i lijepa
Kada smo bili neko, danas smo niko i nista.
Turkish song (Kayahan) was the best
Spain was for me the best and spain Bandido was a summer hit......love it
So classy 👏👏👏
how classy was Eurovision back then. it is sad to see what became of it now. a freak show promoting satanism , pedophilia and homosexuality
Putting homosexuality next to pedophilia? No, just no...
