Eurovision 1993

With the war in Yugoslavia in 1992, and the Soviet Union splitting around that time as well, the 1990s saw an influx of countries, a lot of which became countries we grew to know and love.

1993 started that influx with Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina making their debuts after a pre-qualifying round (which I talked about in the winter with most of the 1990s). Overall, 1993 saw huge changes in Eurovision that influenced Eurovision today. 1993 also saw Luxembourg's last entry until Tali's triumphant return last year.

Ireland won with Niamh Kavanagh with "In Your Eyes," adding Ireland to the list of countries who have won back to back.

My winner was the Netherlands with the song "Vrede" by Ruth Jacott.

BARBARA DEX - FALLING IN LOVE (2015) (BELGIUM)

...and the fashion choice fails to win the Barbara Dex Award purely because this *was* the year of Barbara Dex.

Probably the best thing Every Eurovision Song has ever said.
