    I love your ironic sense of humour while covering many juicy facts from that crazy year 💜 To me, a Dutch song is also the most enchanting and deserving a win as a very original proposal 💛

    Loved seeing the competition in colour for the first time and of course I loved both the Portuguese and Finnish entries that year (my 2 favourite nations over the years), for having something that could only be their entries. The poor presenter must have had a breakdown at the end of the competition. Actually love all 4 of the winners, with Netherlands and France being my particular favourites, but after a few drinks I would be belting out the UK and Spanish songs as well. Loving your videos as always, keep up the good work.

    Loved Salomé's energy in performing Viva Cantando, but De Troubadour en Un Jour, Un Enfant are beautiful songs. I agree with Lulu about Boom Bang A Bang 🙃

    Out of the four winners, my favourite has to be “De troubadour”. When I first heard it in one of those videos of all the Eurovision winners I immediately got a liking to it.

    I find it almost unbelievable that they didn't have a tiebreaker rule by that time, when the contest was already more than 10 years old. I feel actually a bit sorry for the hosts and hostesses of those earlier times, they often had to manage a considerable chaos there on the stage.
    From the winners, I like almost equally France, the Netherlands and Spain. Don't care that much about UK's song tbh. My overall favourite is probably Spain, I love the catchiness of Vivo cantando and Salomé's energetic performance 😊.
    Especially from this year and onward there are quite many Eurovision songs that I remember from my childhood in 80s, actually covers of them which were often playing in the radio. From this particular year, for example Kun silloin ennen, Primaballerina and Catherine. Of course, they were oldies even by that time.

    This is still one of my favorite contests, not just cause it’s the only one that was held in my country, but the songs were all just so good. I think Portugal should have been one of the winners, Paola should have won in 1980 and Laurita is such a sweet and wonderful host

    I strangely love Boom Bang a Bang! It is still with that Swinging Sixties vibe, Lulu is a super performer and the song is cute, very good harmonies with the back up singers when they sing "it's such a lovely feeling" in the chorus. And the "olé" in the end!
    But I totally agree with you that De Troubadour ia a standout. It is a Jacques Brel type of song that Lenny Kuhr performed with such passion and engagement... It would have been a very worthy single winner that would have been a standout in the list of ESC winners.
    For Spain ghe song is cute and the outfit is legendary!
    And I see you did not talk about Due grosse lacrime, the Italian entry, it was quite nice too! The singer competed again at San Remo in 2022!

    Quiero expresarte en español cuánto significa para mí este video. En inglés no podría hacerlo bien y sé que conoces bastante de mi idioma. Este fue mi bautizo eurovisivo y recordar todas aquellas canciones, revivir la emocionante secuencia de las votaciones y la forma de llevarlo de nuestra querida Laura Valenzuela... Me ha hecho feliz . Has conseguido que alguien que peina canas se vuelva una cría durante unos minutos. ¡Mil gracias por ello!
    Con tu video he descubierto que el traje de Jean Jacques era azul y ahora ya no estoy confundida pensando "¿Por qué un niño de Mónaco lleva un traje tan serio como el de ese militar chino?... El político era Mao, por supuesto, pero yo entonces era aún más pequeña que el intérprete de Maman y la televisión en color llegó algo más tarde. Imitando tu sentido del humor, podría decir: "y ahora, ya lo he visto todo..."😅
    En todo caso, él fue el verdadero triunfador de ese año. Hizo versiones en varios idiomas, sonaba en la radio a todas horas y los que tenemos una cierta edad podemos cantar su versión en castellano sin equivocarnos mucho. También, ese aire melancólico y la forma de interpretar "De troubadour" de la cantante holandesa con su guitarra española nos enamoró a todos.
    Muchas gracias de nuevo por hacernos tan felices con tus videos (exceptuando el de Eaea, of course😂) y, en serio, perdón por extenderme tanto pero era importante para mi trasmitirte que valoro mucho tu trabajo sobre esta locura llamada Eurovisión. Puede parecer algo insignificante entre tantas cosas más graves que suceden pero precisamente por eso, se agradece aún más la alegría que nos da. Un cariñoso saludo.

    Watching your video in between our general election debates as a palate cleanser...so big thanks for your timing, it is just right😊
    My fave of this year is France, The Troubadour has very good lyrics and a nice melody but Lenny Kuhr's singing style is just not my cup of tea, but of the 4 winners France and The Netherlands are the best imo. I don't really like Boom bang a bang, the lyrics are quite sort of seductive? but sung in such a childlike manner it rubs me the wrong way. I don't like Spain that much, sorry! And I actually thought Italy was rather charming, not a winner but it should've gotten higher marks I think. Portugal was good aswell...ballsy too to critisize the dictator even it is very subtle. So good for her.
