I remember me and my whole family screaming at the telly “we’ve won we’ve won!”. Typical British over-enthusiasm and well, arrogance haha. But I still stand by it, it rocked!
Should of won in 1992 his career has flourished in music radio and tv one of uk.s best singers and favourites on tour even having a no1 album in 2017 with Alfie boe and own show on radio 2 still should have won with this killer tune well done Michael
I was a student doing a year abroad in London when this came about. We had no idea what the Eurovision song contest was, so it was all kind of fascinating. I loved how the country got behind this song and it was #1 on the charts going into the contest. A fun memory!
Brings back so many fond memories of watching Eurovision with my Nan in the 70’s and 80’s as she would get her radio times that would have a list of participants so you could score yourself. Miss those happy times
This was UK Entry for the 1992, Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Sweden & won by Ireland, our song finished in 2nd position, it recieved maximum points from Austria, Denmark, Germany & Belguim.
Una de las mejores canciones del Reino Unido en el festival de Eurovisión...merecido 2º puesto....canción lírica interpretada con mucha gana e ilusión y acompañada de corosw espectaculares.
@@appleOgreen Nice one! You are still aware of what I metaphorically implied verifies that the language is malleable. I hope I have not stepped over the line!
@@rebeccahooper7968 There are too many variables to consider. You got more than 40 countries taking part every year, and and each country have its own 5-person jury and viewers taking part as televoters. How would you think the over-all results reflect anything political, and in what context? If you're gonna mention Brexit, the EBU has more member-broadcasters in Europe than there are member-countries in the EU so you can't pin the UK's recent bad results on that. As if Britain is special enough to be seen as a badly performing country in the contest, countries like Spain and Germany are not also doing well either.
He has a really good show on BBC Radio 2 nowadays and still does a lot of theatre work. Refuses to say much about Eurovision though. It's a good enough song but was a bit dated even for 1992. Still probably the best from that year though - 1992 was very weak!
He sang and performed everyone else off the stage that night.... should Won.... bit in a way did.... just look at the career he has had and he be a "Sir" in the next few years... you see!!!!!
We need more performances like this these days to get us back at the top. I can't believe that this lost to "Why Me" by Linda Martin, , she sounded as flat as a pancake and not a particularly hard song to sing anyway. He went on to have many more hits and she is still doing the round's lip synching to her song.
We probably weren’t the only family in the UK screaming “Yeah, why her?” when Ireland won. I’m sure she’s a lovely lady and all respect to Ireland and Johnny, but Michael’s song was just superior. Check me referring to them all as if I know them! I don’t, obviously 🤭
What chance did he have against a song written by Johnny Logan. Ireland went on to win in 93 (UK second again), 94 and 96. Mind you, Sweden’s catching up!
Amazing singer, average song. He would have won with the song that came second in Song For europe ' As Dreams go by' beautiful song, later covered by many international singers.
Back in the day this was the winner this should have won the Eurovision song contest Michael Ball went on to be an amazing song singer songwriter performer and is still has number one albums now in the year 2019 fantastic performance when the UK really did something at Eurovision one step at a time
Ronnie,uk conductor, hadn't a clue, he said in 85 Bobbysox wouldn't win the Norwegian final but if it did it hadn't a chance at Eurovision and we all know how wrong he was
There isn't always justice in Eurovision - not for the UK at least! Like in 1989 with Why do I always get it wrong, beaten by a corney Yugoslav song 'Rock me baby'!
@@EC2019 They are more than one step out of time now, which is sad. I hope that UK will come back to the top 5 again. And maybe win too. It's been 23 years now.
Brilliant song 🎵 and sang with such passion by Michael Ball
It should have won.
Agree. If any consolation, it came in second.
And now he came a successful west end star.
this song punched above its weight thanks to Michaels performance.
Watched it and loved it when I was 23 and still loving at 52!
Mhm :)
I remember me and my whole family screaming at the telly “we’ve won we’ve won!”. Typical British over-enthusiasm and well, arrogance haha. But I still stand by it, it rocked!
His voice is amazing
Michael Ball was quite handsome and dashing back in the day! :O
He still is. He just has a bit more timber.
Euro African Michael is still a good looking man and as Kerry Clark says he is carrying a bit more timber ( nice way of describing it)
He's still absolutely bloody gorgeous!
@@marywhite7606 Yes and a lovely personality too
@@skygazer6898 the best!

The song didnt get to number one? Top 20 but not no. 1
I still don’t feel that it’s oooooo-vaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!
Fantastic!
"Just think about it, girl. Hoover a while!" ;-)

again he was winner in my mind xxxxxx
rebecca hooper This was *much* better than the Irish song though my favourites that year were from Israel and Malta.
He's so charming! 🥰
Loving the cheese!!! What an intro running down the stairs!!
Ah, Ronnie... A consummate professional, and an absolute gentleman.
Why is this song playing in my head in summer 2020
Excellent Song, Michael Ball is gorgeous, loved this song, this brings back happy times for me, hoping to see Michael Ball at Nottingham.
I remember watching it when I was 7 years old Iam 33 now
Definitely the best thing to have happened in Malmo. And I've seen The Bridge.
The uk has come 3nd 16 times michael vocals were amazing i was hoping he would win that year i am from the uk
2nd actually
What a great voice .love it
Best voice in the UK👍
Michael Ball, the best and original Marius
Ronnie best conductor United Kingdom for Eurovision
I voted for this then a could not believe it did not won greetings from denmark
Pia Hansen Yeah right, you voted for this… back then when it was only juries…
Maybe it's one of the danish judges speaking...)
Then again, Denmark did give it's 12 PTS to the UK :)
When I watch old Eurovisions I always feel like the uk is the country consistently taking it seriously. Nowadays it’s the opposite
The British and French entries were my favorite in 1992.
x2
Absolutely magnificent, here listening August 2021 xxxxxxx Micheal you are such a talented gentleman.
Powerful vocals
Wow I remember watched this when I was 7 year old iam 35 now
This is really sweet 😊
He's so mmmmmhhhhhhhhh😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wonderful singer
Goosebumps
26 years ago. fantastic song. fabulous artist.

Abrahán Sáez Sánchez Ich kann auch einfach in meiner Muttersprache irgendwas vor mich hin schreiben, das kein Schwein versteht…
Michael J Mullins, lead singer with Modern Romance in the early 1980s among the backing vocallists there.
We know Michael Ball will have amazing west end career
The best second place from ESC 1990s
A great talent at the highest point in his potential. For me, he took one step forward from the line he was placed upon.
@@appleOgreen Nice one! You are still aware of what I metaphorically implied verifies that the language is malleable. I hope I have not stepped over the line!
The conductor Ronnie Hazelhurst was behind the theme tune to only fools and horses!
MB cringes with embarrassment when this is mentioned in interviews. Why? I don't see any of the UK acts nowadays getting anywhere near 2nd place!
most get bottom it is all too political it was then but more so now
Probably the suit
@@rebeccahooper7968 How is it political?
Because it was political for years with voting.. Not the song bumfluffs

Jeez he was handsome back then!
The days when we had decent songs!
Nope, the days when every other country was in a disadvantage for not being able to sing in English.
The songs were ok, yeah.
kool
Hei, synger fantastisk. Vondt med din søster. Tenker på deg. Klem fra mamma Bente
Looking back after 25 years, I think he should have dialled it down a little
❤❤❤❤❤
Remember when the UK used to care about Eurovision
We still do, the trouble is there's no one left who can pen a decent tune.
Or when the other countries juries used to care about the UK!
@@vordman There's a BAFTA/Grammy-award winning songwriter who wrote this year's entry.
fuc koff
@@vordman other countries manage to do it I think it's possible
I love this song, and Michael but Linda definitely deserved to win and start Ireland's winning streak.
this aged poorly, I now think that Michael should've won
One step out of time - United Kingdom 1992 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra
He has a really good show on BBC Radio 2 nowadays and still does a lot of theatre work. Refuses to say much about Eurovision though. It's a good enough song but was a bit dated even for 1992. Still probably the best from that year though - 1992 was very weak!
Is a trend to have a weak contest when ESC is made in Malmo.
It wasnt as bad as 1999 was.
He sang and performed everyone else off the stage that night.... should Won.... bit in a way did.... just look at the career he has had and he be a "Sir" in the next few years... you see!!!!!
Michael should of won with this catchy song.
Michael Ball is such a confident performer and has a good voice. A good performance and not a bad song. Anyone know was position this song reached?
Second
We need more performances like this these days to get us back at the top. I can't believe that this lost to "Why Me" by Linda Martin, , she sounded as flat as a pancake and not a particularly hard song to sing anyway. He went on to have many more hits and she is still doing the round's lip synching to her song.
Dan Frost spot on Dan.
was written by johnny logan that is why
Johnny won two times, I mean he's obviously gonna have to write a winning song once.
We probably weren’t the only family in the UK screaming “Yeah, why her?” when Ireland won. I’m sure she’s a lovely lady and all respect to Ireland and Johnny, but Michael’s song was just superior. Check me referring to them all as if I know them! I don’t, obviously 🤭
Sin lugar a dudas, Michael Ball mereció ganar el Festival de Eurovisión de 1992, en Malmö . Lo hizo genial, gran voz y gran interpretación.
What chance did he have against a song written by Johnny Logan.
Ireland went on to win in 93 (UK second again), 94 and 96. Mind you, Sweden’s catching up!
UK second and pipped at the post in 1988 and '89 - twice very unlucky, more so in '89.
A poor song brilliantly performed. The uk needs more great performers like this.
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 it's the 'I really need the loo' dancing that gets to me
My God! 😆
2nd?😰

He had been highly sucessful before this as well. It was at the time the UK's bigger names didn't turn their noses up at the contest as they do now.
tubbo_
9 points
😍
If he was on those bells, he make some balls of it!!!
Very much Tom Jones influence.
Yes I hadn't thought of that Suzan but now you come to mention it..
The best song that didn't win.
No - try listening to Live Report (or Ray Caruana) & Why do I always get it wrong, UK 1989. Great song! Best runner up ever!
Where are those UK Glory days on Eurovision????so shame on BBC
there were only a few good songs in this event- UK was certainly one of them, with Irland, Malta and Cyprus
Mr.Sheffield did a great job 👍😂
One Step Out Of Islington.
I was delighted when Linda Martin won for Ireland that year, but I didn’t like the song - this was my favourite!
To be honest this should have won!
Ronnie,uk conductor, hadn't a clue, he said in 85 Bobbysox wouldn't win the Norwegian final but if it did it hadn't a chance at Eurovision and we all know how wrong he was
How Linda beat him I have no idea
There isn't always justice in Eurovision - not for the UK at least! Like in 1989 with Why do I always get it wrong, beaten by a corney Yugoslav song 'Rock me baby'!
It's quite simple, you know : because her song was better than his.
This song should have won.
There's something quite Alan Partridge about this
should have won..much better then that dirge"why me"
Very true.
He reminds me of Father Dick Byrne. lol
I don't think this deserved second place, but this was still MILES better than Ireland. Still, Malta, Italy and France should have done better.
As if that only came second
Ireland and Malta were better. This song is awful his performance is the only good thing about it and it was a terrible year in general
@@RollinsMoxStan I preferred this over Ireland, I found Linda's performance to be to whiney and desperate. Still, Malta was my favourite.
@@RollinsMoxStan also, I thought 1999 was a far worse year than this...
oh dear, another ball's up it was, for the UK, losing out on winning yet again.
Esto no debería ni haber estado entre las 5 primeras.....entre el 7-9 habría sido lo justo. Mucho mejor la canción de Malta.
Should have won!
What a Rick roll
Great singer and a handsome guy. The song was ok but not a winning song.
When UK was Good at the Eurovision
Now they are drunk lol
In fairness, everyone is snorting something when they're doing Eurovision nowadays. lol
@@EC2019 They are more than one step out of time now, which is sad. I hope that UK will come back to the top 5 again. And maybe win too. It's been 23 years now.
Wow - a UK act who can actually sing: That's rare for us!
Shame the song is so weak.
Not the best song, true, but still came second on the night.
@@cheyennebrennan966 you're not alone, Michael Ball hated the song as well.
Think he went a bit *too* theatre. Still, should have won. Linda Martin was shite.
he look light a wright puff
Very good but not as Ireland.
bri'ish
i agree
u are such a pro
hot
big man
ur such a professional
Good job Ball can sing live these days. Worst mime job ever.
You’re not allowed to mime at Eurovision. That was all live.
Good singer boring song ....
Very bad miming
