Cliff Richard entered the competition with a nice tune, not the worst not the best. Still He was one of a few wellknown artist that entered.
With the old ESC´s in hopefully clear memory here has only been a few songs that actually made it as a Hit on my behalf.
I think my all time number one will be either the winner in 1963, when Jurgen Ingmann and His wife Grete won with "Dansevise" or it will be Irelands "Rockn roll kids" The first of those has been a struggle to learn how to play for the last 40+ years. On the other hand "Rockn Roll Kids" was a song that I did record in my very own version only an hour after I first heard it.
To listen and see ABBA take the trophy with Waterloo was natuarly great, at least it was a good pop-tune and for sure they did look great in their platform boots.
Among all songs in the ESC only a few have reached stardom outside their own countries. Maybe the quality of the songs isnt that good after all, still the ESC is a really great show, and I rather spend me time watching the ESC then spending a minute on fotball or hockey.
But whe the hell did the managment of ESC agreed to use loads of playback. No longer youll find a conductor and a band playing the songs. Maybe You cant even be sure of that the actual artists is singing? Or?
The ESc has went from strength to strength, the music has started to play a minor role in the program, instead the artist themself and their costumes has been some kind of Hit-ticket.
Why the hell use a former stripper, pornstar now a days renown as a burlesk artist world wide known. And as well as there was no Heavy Metal band winning (exept Finland) the show in the 80-ies when it was popular, why should a bad rapartist have a chanse to win.
