Apart from my five votes that i posted on the other article (SMR 08, FIN65, TUR75, SPA83, ITA66), I’d say that Andorra 06 could have my vote too (#6 on my list)
Thanks for the posting the whole list, ET :)
Btw, what caught my eye, is the relatively large ammount of votes for MLT71&72 and BEL73, compared to the ones that finished last the other years; I guess that it has to do with the different voting system at that time.
In 71 and 72 the least amount possible was 34 points
In 73 it was 32 points
Two jurors per country, each giving 1-5 points.
Thank you, w s :)
Taking a look at the list, I notice that, among the countries that debuted before the 90’s, France, Greece and Isreal are the only 3 that never came dead last. Or am I wrong? can anyone confirm? :)
I don’t know if they’re the only ones, but France is definitely the only one of the 7-10 original ones to never have come last (it used be France and the Uk before 2003)
my top 5: Turkey 1975, Finland 1965, Netherlands 1958, Spain 1983, Germany 1964… but I also like Austria 1957, Yugoslavia 1964, Spain 1965, Italy 1966, Monaco 1966, Netherlands 1968, Norway 1974, Portugal 1974, Austria 1979, Turkey 1987, Austria 1991, Switzerland 1998 and San Marino 2008… A lot of the other ones did not deserve to be last but a lot of them were indeed rather bad songs!
My top 5:
1. 1963 – SWE – Monica Zetterlund – En gång i Stockholm (really fantastic!)
2. 1998 – SWI – Gunvor – Lass’ ihn
3. 2008 (SF) – SMR – Miodio – Complice
4. 2011 (SF) – NED – 3JS – Never Alone
5. 1991 – AUS – Thomas Forstner (not Forster!) – Venedig im Regen
You forgot, 1979 had a joint last place between Austria and Belgium! Only Austria was mentioned there…
My have is
NORWAY – 2012 – TOOJI – STAY!!! Totally underrated! 24th in televote AND jury vote?!?!!
I also like all 2011 last entries (best year for my music taste) and a load of ones from the 60’s and 90’s. :)
San Marino 2007, Finland 2009 and Ireland 2007 took the most unfair place. Especially San Marino …
Norway 2012 too was unfair, when there where cheep, gimicy and poor live vocal performances from Lithuania, Ukraine, Turkey and Russia. I would have liked to have seen Finland, Portugal, Slovenia and Croatia Qualify in 2012 instead of them realy.
Turkey 1983 is not on the list. I don’t suppose any tie breaking rule can apply to zero points….
Belgium 1979, Turkey 1983 & Finland 1990 are not there on the list…
