Eurovision Fact #221:

It is fairly common for a nation to receive an overall final score of nul points in the Eurovision Song Contest, but it’s less common for multiple nations to receive zero points during the same competition. Out of the total sixty-six Eurovision Song Contests that have been held, twenty-two have had at least one contestant who earned zero points. 

The most contestants receiving nul points in a single contest is four. This happened a total of four times, all in a row, in 1962, 1963, 1964, and 1965.

Austria and Norway are tied for most times earning nul points with a total of 4 losses.

The following is a list of the years in which contestants gained zero points and which nations they were from:

1962: Netherlands, Austria, Spain, and Belgium.

1963: Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Norway.

1964: Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Portugal, and Germany.

Del’s ideal Eurovision winners keeping win records

We’re well into June and post-Eurovision season now, and I’m going to start posting my full winners ranking sometime next week. However, as I was doing a first rough ranking back in April, I started thinking about how some countries’ only victory comes with a song I don’t like, and I’d much rather something else had won that year, but I feel bad about that because it’s their only victory – if only they’d won with a different song in another year. This got me wondering if I could come up with a list of winners that keeps every countries’ win record (Ireland 7, Sweden 6 etc.) which suits my tastes more. I gave this a shot back in April, with the only rule being that the final list had to keep every countries’ win record – I could keep actual winners, I could put ties to get to the total 68 winning songs wherever I wanted, and I could pick a winner from 2020, since this is a fantasy list after all.

Looking back at that list post Eurovision, I wanted to challenge myself even further, and I made some new rules: 1. To really keep the win record as it stands, the UK, France, The Netherlands, and Spain need to have a four-way tie one year – no other ties are allowed. 2. 2020 didn’t take place, so I can’t pick a winner from there. 3. I can’t pick any songs that actually won – this was both to make things more interesting and challenge myself to not fall back on the obvious choices, and also to avoid spoiling my upcoming winners ranking  

All that said, here’s my list of ideal winners (maintaining win records by country) by year:

1956 – Luxembourg – Ne crois pas 1957 – Austria – Wohin, kleines Pony? 1958 – Italy – Nel blu, dipinto di blu 1959 – United Kingdom – Sing, Little Birdie 1960 – Sweden – Alla andra får varann 1961 – Sweden – April, April 1962 – Belgium – Ton nom 1963 – Italy – Uno per tutte 1964 – Luxembourg – Dès que le printemps revient 1965 – Ireland – Walking the Streets in the Rain 1966 – Luxembourg – Ce soir je t'attendais 1967 – Luxembourg – L'amour est bleu 1968 – Yugoslavia – Jedan dan 1969 – Switzerland – Bonjour, Bonjour 1970 – France – Marie-Blanche 1971 – Germany – Diese Welt 1972 – Netherlands – Als het om de liefde gaat 1973 – Israel – Ey Sham 1974 – Luxembourg – Bye Bye I Love You 1975 – Sweden – Jennie, Jennie 1976 – Monaco – Toi, la musique et moi 1977 – United Kingdom – Rock Bottom 1978 – Ireland – Born to Sing 1979 – Ireland – Happy Man 1980 – France, Spain, Netherlands, United Kingdom – Hé, hé M'sieurs dames, Quédate esta noche, Amsterdam, Love Enough for Two 1981 – Ireland – Horoscopes 1982 – Israel – Hora 1983 – France – Vivre 1984 – Ireland – Terminal 3 1985 – Sweden – Bra vibrationer 1986 – Norway – Romeo 1987 – Israel – Shir Habatlanim 1988 – Netherlands – Shangri-La 1989 – Denmark – Vi maler byen rød 1990 – Ireland – Somewhere in Europe 1991 – Israel – Kan 1992 – United Kingdom – One Step Out of Time 1993 – Norway – Alle mine tankar 1994 – France – Je suis un vrai garçon 1995 – Spain – Vuelve conmigo 1996 – Austria – Weil's dr guat got 1997 – Turkey – Dinle 1998 – Netherlands – Hemel en aarde 1999 – Germany – Reise nach Jerusalem - Kudüs'e seyahat 2000 – Latvia – My Star 2001 – Denmark – Never Ever Let You Go 2002 – Denmark – Tell Me Who You Are 2003 – Estonia – Eighties Coming Back 2004 – United Kingdom – Hold Onto Our Love 2005 – Switzerland – Cool Vibes 2006 – Greece – Everything 2007 – Sweden – The Worrying Kind 2008 – Norway – Hold On Be Strong 2009 – France – Et s'il fallait le faire 2010 – Serbia – Ovo je Balkan 2011 – Italy – Madness of Love 2012 – Azerbaijan – When the Music Dies 2013 – Netherlands – Birds 2014 – Sweden – Undo 2015 – Ireland – Playing with Numbers 2016 – Russia – You Are the Only One 2017 – Finland – Blackbird 2018 – Ukraine – Under the Ladder 2019 – Portugal – Telemóveis 2020 – no winner 2021 – Ukraine – Shum

Eurovision 1967 my top 17

Hello again, and welcome to another episode of this long series about the ESC. Now it’s time to review what happened on April 8th 1967 in Vienna, Austria after Udo Jürgens’ victory in Luxembourg the last year. 17 countries took part and Denmark said goodbye for 11 years. Again the voting system was changed to the one that was applied on the first years of the contest. The contest was won by the United Kingdom with the song Puppet on a string, making this their first victory ever. And now, with the songs. 

1st Place: UNITED KINGDOM/Sandie Shaw-Puppet on a string (Real Placing: 1st-47 points)

This song has and will have an special place on my heart because it was one of the first ESC songs I heard, the song is catchy, the performance is so amazing and she is a nice singer, another song that the contest needed to get into the 60′s. Worthy winner indeed and thumbs up for Sandie. 

2nd Place: SPAIN/Raphael-Hablemos del amor (Real Placing: 6th-9 points)

Again this man manages to win my heart with his amazing voice and performance, another good entry from him and the music in the chorus is the best part, one of Spain best early entries and the lyrics are very good actually. Oh Raphael, I love you so much. 

3rd Place: LUXEMBOURG/Vicky Leandros-L’amour est bleu (Real Placing: 4th-17 points) 

Oh what a song!!!! One of my absolute favorites ever, and Vicky is such a wonderful singer, this song is catchy, the music is marvelous and Vicky returned some years later with another result that I’ll discuss at the time of that review. A classic song and one of the pearls of the contest. 

4th Place: GERMANY/Inge Brück-Anouschka (Real Placing: =8th-7 points) 

And this is one of Germany’s best entries of the 60′s, sounds modern and she is a very good singer, the la la la is catchy and the chorus is amazing, the music makes this entry a good one, and this one makes me happy. 

5th Place: FRANCE/Noëlle Cordier-Il doit faire beau là-bas (Real Placing: 3rd-20 points)

This sounds so 60′s for a reason I can’t describe, the verses are very groovy and the chorus is amazing, the music is very good and she is an amazing singer. This is what France needed after their fiasco last year. 

6th Place: BELGIUM/Louis Neefs-Ik heb zorgen (Real Placing: 7th-8 points)

I like a lot this one, so funny and the troll finish is amazing, his voice is good as well and yeah, overall a good song. Such an enjoyable entry. 

7th Place: PORTUGAL/Eduardo Nascimento-O vento mudou (Real Placing: =12th-3 points)

The music on this one is amazing, and his voice is very good, I love it. The chorus is amazing and the beginning is excellent. Such a nice entry and again, an entry that IMO deserved more than some songs that finished higher on the night. 

8th Place: ITALY/Claudio Villa-Non andare più lontano (Real Placing: 11th-4 points) 

This one is so dramatic in a good way, Claudio’s voice is superb and the orchestra makes this wonderful, an absolute delight to hear this one. Both of his entries are amazing, but this one is superior and excellent. 

9th Place: NORWAY/Kirsti Sparboe-Dukkemann (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

Again an underrated song for this lady, her voice is so cute and amazing, an absolute delight, and the song is good and the orchestra sounds okay, nice entry overall. 

10th Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Thérèse Steinmetz-Ring-dinge-ding (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

This one is repetitive, but makes me feel good at some point, sounds like something from a Christmas movie soundtrack, maybe if the song was a bit shorter would’ve been better. Such an energetic entry. 

11th Place: MONACO/Minouche Barelli-Boum-badaboum (Real Placing: 5th-10 points) 

This one is interesting... it really sounds like an explosion, quite repetitive and maybe too noisy for my taste. 

12th Place: IRELAND/Sean Dunphy-If I could choose (Real Placing: 2nd-22 points)

Also I like this, his voice is something amazing and the music is good, overall a nice entry but not a runner up. 

13th Place: FINLAND/Fredi-Varjoon-suojaan (Real Placing: =12th-3 points)

I like this one and his voice is amazing, and the music is very good, but somehow turns repetitive with the chorus, anyway, a nice entry. 

14th Place: SWEDEN/Östen Warnerbring-Som en dröm (Real Placing: =8th-7 points)

A dark entry, and his voice is good, but sadly bores me a little, the chorus is the best part. 

15th Place: SWITZERLAND/Géraldine-Quel cœur vas-tu briser? (Real Placing: 17th-0 points/last)  

This one sounds promising and good, but then she sings and everything breaks inside of me, I love the music and with another singer, this would’ve been on my top 5. That note at the end is scary. 

16th Place: YUGOSLAVIA/Lado Leskovar-Vse roze sveta (Real Placing: =8th-7 points) 

This one is sweet on the chorus, but as with Austria, I can’t remember this at all. Nice voice though. 

17th Place: AUSTRIA/Peter Horton-Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

I always forget about this one, boring, uninteresting, sorry but not for me.

Three Minutes to Eternity: My ESC 250 (intermission + honorable mentions)

Eurovision has >1600 songs in its discography, with the exact number varying on whether to count the songs that didn't qualify from the 1993 and 1996 pre-qualifier rounds, along with the 2020 songs lost to the pandemic (1603 without both categories, 1614 including the pre-qualifier songs but without the 2020 songs, 1644 with the lost 2020 songs, and 1655 including both).

Either way, taking 250 from so many songs is a challenge, and a lot get lost the way. (250 into each of them would round out to 15% of all Eurovision songs ever. By the time we get to song #2000, it will only be one eighth of all of them. It's a very exclusive club)

As a result, here's an honorable mentions list for the songs that didn't make it on the list, but I still adore (in chronological order). Later, I'll give you songs that I love, but fell into the categories above, and where they would place.

If by the end of this project, you could replace any of the songs in my top 250 with any of these, which ones would you go for?
