Northern Ireland's Clodagh Rogers (born 5 March 1947). Reached fourth place as the UK entry in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest with the tremendously catchy Jack in the Box.
Pink frilly tops and hot pants remain traditional Northern Irish casual wear to this day.

Eurovision Fact #451:
Tumblr media
Before taking part in 1985 as a member of the iconic Norwegian duo Bobbysocks, Hanne Krogh participated as a solo act in 1971. However, her song 'Lykken Er...' did not do as well, placing only 17th -- second to last.

"Un banc, un arbre, une rue" - Séverine
1971 Music: Jean-Pierre Bourtayre; lyric: Yves Dessca
Une chanson de Let's Do It, mes singles préférés de 1954 à 1976.
We all have a bench, a tree, a street, where our dreams went to beat, our childhood's been too short. Séverine performed the melancholic song - deep in the standard French style - at the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. The era when points were awarded from the set of Blankety Blank.
Tumblr media
Séverine sells the song wonderfully. She knows when to be fragile, she knows when to be headstrong and confident. And she knows that it's a television contest, catching the camera with a beguiling look. Superlative vocal capacity, excellent show, and wonderful song.
At the time of this performance, Séverine was 22 years old; the Parisian recorded versions of this song in English and Deutsch, but everyone preferred the original. She's continued to record, and made several attempts to return to Eurovision but was usually beaten by the Ticketmaster bots.

Welcome to the Eurovision Song Bracket!
This will be a fairly large bracket, consisting of two "teams" of 68 songs for a total of 136 competitors!
The first team has been preselected, and will consist of all previous winners or popular vote winners if applicable.
This means that if your favorite song won, you do not need to submit them (a couple of exceptions apply, see list at the bottom/read more for details)
Submissions are closed!
Rules!
- Entries must have been a part of the main competition of Eurovision of any year (I might do a MGP mini bracket if the people want that)
- Once again, you do not need to submit winners, they are (mostly) automatically in. Again, see bottom for details and explanations.
- You may submit multiple songs, but please don't send the same song over and over.
- Propaganda is highly encouraged! There is a spot for it in the submission form, and adding it on to the poll itself or sending an ask is also allowed. You may send a DM, but I'll probably be slow to respond that way.
How it Works!
- There will be multiple brackets of 34 songs
- Each of the preselected winners will be randomly against one of the submitted songs. Pairings will be decided through number assignment and a random number generator.
- Vote for your favorite! I will include links to the songs in the poll so you can listen to both before voting. The winner will move onto the next round until we find the winner of that bracket.
- Once all brackets are complete, the winners of their individual brackets will go onto the finals to determine the (unofficial) Ultimate Eurovision Song Winner!
- There will be a preliminary around, as 1969 (hehe nice) had a four way tie, so we will need to determine which of those four will represent that year!
Tagging some other brackets to get the word out

Texto Wikipedia:
«L'amour s'en va» ("El amor se va") es una canción exitosa elegida con mayor porcentaje del país de Mónaco, para el Festival de la canción de Eurovision 1963. Esta fue interpretada en francés por la cantante y actriz francesa Françoise Hardy.
Los monegascos eligieron por mayoría de votos a Françoise Hardy, ya que el país no contaba con muchos artistas propios, pero finalmente se vio que fue una gran popularidad, en especial de la cantante que provenía de Francia. La canción terminó en quinto puesto con 25 puntos, ya que en primer lugar salieron Grethe Ingmann & Jørgen Ingmann con 42 puntos representando a Dinamarca.
Françoise Hardy era una cantante menor de edad cuando fue reconocida por el público en toda Europa, más tarde se crea un género musical llamado Ye-ye, en donde con tan sólo 18 años de edad en 1962 empieza a ser popular y aparece en varios programas de televisión. "Tous les garçons et les filles" es una de las canciones más conocidas por la misma artista, ya que en 1962 tuvo su lanzamiento y no tardó en llevar su éxito, se vendió 700.000 copias aproximadamente sólo en Francia. Luego pasó a ser una de las artistas mundiales de habla francesa más exitosas y populares de la década de 1960, así también como un icono de la moda influyente. Fue también conocida como una de las mejores artistas de género Ye-ye a partir de mediados de los 60, ya que también estaban otras como France Gall, quien también es elegida para Eurovision.
"L'amour s'en va" es de estilo lento y expresado con apariencias tristes, popular en los primeros años del concurso. Hardy canta sobre una relación que se llevó a cabo, donde expresa que el amor es una cosa efímera, sin embargo, esto es lo que no importa a los amantes involucrados. Hardy también grabó la canción en versión alemana "Die Liebe geth" y más tarde también en italiano "L'amore va", respectivamente, viendo que también fue exitosa en países extranjeros.
La canción fue interpretada en decimoquinto lugar en el festival de la noche, después de Jacques Raymond que representaba a Bélgica, y precediendo a Nana Mouskouri que representaba a Luxemburgo. Al terminar la votación del Festival, la canción recibe 25 puntos, colocando en quinto lugar de 16 posiciones. "L'amour s'en va", sin embargo pasó a que Hardy pueda ganar el prestigioso premio francés "Grand Prix du Disque" en 1963 y unos cuarenta años después de su lanzamiento original de la canción, todavía cuenta como una de sus sinfonías.
En 1964, Romuald representa a Mónaco en Eurovisión, y obtuvo el tercer lugar. Más tarde, en 1971, Mónaco llega a primer lugar con la cantante Séverine, con 128 puntos, cantando el tema Un banc, un arbre, une rue.

**Some sites list Tymofii's birthday as being in September, however his actual Ukrainian Wikipedia page shows it as February 6th, so that's what I'm going with
Corrections/additional information welcome!

We're playing a tag game today y'all. Put the "on repeat" playlist on spotify on shuffle and list the first ten songs that come up. i was tagged by @bandedbulbussnarfblat  (thanks😊) and I'm tagging @darkangel1791 ,  @translouisdpdl and @bebe-benzenheimer
I don't listen to a whole lot of new music, what can I say.
1. Promise by Voyager. This was Australia's entry for Eurovision this year and SUCH a banger.
2. Visa Vid Midsommartid by Anita Lindblom. A Swedish classic from 1946, recorded by Anita in 1971. One word - goosebumps.
3. Manhattan Skyline by A-ha. I remember this song freaking me out a bit as a kid. I thought they sounded so angry in the chorus! 😅
4. Maasai by Peter R. Ericson. Oh lord. I hate this guy and I hate this song. It's only in my likes because I had been looking for this obscure song for years and years, my vague memory of it being so much better than it actually is.
5. Incestvisa by Cornelis Vreeswijk, Swedish cover of Johnny Be Fair by Buffy Sainte-Marie.
6. Told You So by Depeche Mode. That whole album, Construction Time Again is so so underrated.
7. Touch Me by Weeping Willows, just a great song from the early 00′s.
8. Hoida Mut by Benjamin. One of the songs that were in the running to represent Finland in Eurovision this year. Love the “come to mama baby”, hee.
9. In Dreams by Roy Orbison. Blue Velvet is all I'm saying.  😱 💙
10. Ship Of Fools by Erasure. One of the best songs ever made and which I never get tired of.

Mapping Madrid: Week 8
For this one, I went to a place I didn't even know existed, Ríos Rosas, named after the politician Antonio de los Ríos Rosas, which is a very fun name to have honestly (in English it translates to Anthony of the Pink Rivers). It is located in Santa Engracia Street, in the Chamberí district. It is one of the oldest stations in the city, built in 1919, which makes it be in the Line 1. It is right next to the Canal de Isabel II. One of the stereotypes of people from Madrid is that we think our tap water is the best in the world. Although objectively that is just false, I will still defend it cause I think it's fun. Anyways, what is true is that Madrid's tap water is a good one, thanks to the previously mentioned Canal de Isabel II, the business who regulates the water supply to the city, through a channel built by Isabel II (Elizabeth II or Isabella II) in 1851 that gets water from the Lozoya River, in the mountains north of the city, into Madrid. Next to Ríos Rosas, in the Ríos Rosas Park, stands the oldest water supply tower in the city, built in 1911, and refurbished into an exhibition hall in 1985. I visited it, as it had a free exhibition on the photographer Joana Biarnés, considered the first Spanish woman photojournalist. It was focused on her work with fashion, and there were even some dresses on display like the dress Karina used in Eurovision 1971!!! (of course I recognized it immediately) Speaking of Eurovision, she photographied Massiel, Spanish representative and winner of Eurovision 1968, as well as the aforementioned Karina. She also photographied icons like Pilar Bardem (Javier Bardem's mother), or Marisol [center right pic]. As I was watching the exhibition I got this feeling that she could've known my grandpa, who was a photographer in the same years as her and also dabbled into photojournalism. And, just as I suspected, once I asked my mum later in the day she confirmed they knew each other and worked together. My grandpa passed away last November, so this hit hard. Anyways, I couldn't do much more in Ríos Rosas cause I was running a bit late (I had to do so many stops on the way there to do some errands you don't even know), but before going into the water supply tower I did what I always do around Book Day (April 23rd) and bought myself a book! This time I went to an English-only library, so I bought a classic English-speaking book, The Old Man and the Sea, by Hemingway! I was gonna get The Great Gatsby at first, but Hemingway's was way cheaper and I needed every cent I could save lol.

Winners ranking oof
Below the cut. I don't hate any of them, as a side note
Personal favorites
1. Fairytale (Norway 2009) - When I found out about this, around the time I became an eurofan in 2018, I was in awe. It's so catchy and fun and omg I love the violin. Perfect
2. Nocturne (Norway 1995) - Want my anxiety to drop down to 0? play this song at any given moment
3. Waterloo (Sweden 1974) - Schalger pop songs from the 70s are my weakness. And how can you not love ABBA?
4. Dansevise (Denmark 1963) - There's something so charming about this whole performance. The singers' stage presence, the flow of the song, the guitar, like idk man it's so beautiful...
5. Heroes (Sweden 2015) - 12 y/o me had her eyes glued to the screen when this was on stage and whenever I re-listen to this I feel the same feeling as I did back then. The first ever eurovision song that I was obsessed with!
6. Arcade (Netherlands 2019) - Nothing more to say. Loving you is a losing game is a huge icon at this point
7. Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Luxembourg 1965) - I love the beat and how bouncy and cheerful it sounds. Her entire career story is so heartbreaking though I couldn't not feel bad for her...
8. Zitti e Buoni (Italy 2021) - Never forget the edgy italian rockers 😔😔
9. Tu te reconnaîtras (Luxembourg 1973) - I get such a nostalgic feeling from this, it's as if I've heard this several times in my childhood before but I can't exactly remember. The piano bits are so lovely
10. Fångad av en stormvind (Sweden 1991) - Why is everyone so harsh on this song, I'll never understand...I love how energetic it is!! It's probably my favorite Carola song tbh (okay I also really like Främling but shhhh)
11. Een beetje (Netherlands 1959) - Cute sassy song that could fit so well in an old disney movie? Yes please
12. Insieme: 1992 (Italy 1990) - Ah yes, the superior "peace and unity" song that actually feels genuine. I swear I've heard this before in the past actually, like before I listened to the esc winners
13. Hallelujah (Israel 1979) - Yes guys bring me the harmonies
14. La det swinge (Norway 1985) - Groovy nordic pop from the 80s my beloved, I love their outfits a lot! 💜
15. A-ba-ni-bi (Israel 1978) - It's so catchy like whenever I listen to this I have it on loop for 5 days straight
16. Vivo Cantando (Spain 1969) - I love this one too! Out of the 4 winners this or Netherlands were the best imo
17. Save your kisses for me (United Kingdom 1976) - Being this wholesome should be illegal /j
18. Un banc, un arbre, une rue (Monaco 1971) - Same story as Tu te reconnaitras, I kind of have the same feelings for both, I get this strange, nostalgic yet comforting deja-vu when I listen to them
19. The Voice (Ireland 1996) - It's so magical and mysterious, teleports me to another world everytime I listen
20. Puppet on a string (United Kingdom 1967) - This feels so wholesome and sweet, I always like these kind of carnival themed songs for some reason
21. De Troubadour (Netherlands 1969) - Love how melancholic yet upbeat it sounds, and the guitar is just amazing
22. Apres toi (Luxembourg 1972) - Makes me feel emotions that I didn't even experience, how great this is...
23. Molitva (Serbia 2007) - It's so anthemic, I feel connected to this song on a personal level
24. Euphoria (Sweden 2012) - It's universally known as the best esc winner, and I do like it but feel that it's a bit too overhyped and all? haven't willingly listened to this for a while, even though I still admire the choreography and whole stage show, which was indeed amazing!
25. L'oiseau et l'enfant (France 1977) - Favorite french winner, hands down
Really like this ones
26. My number one (Greece 2005) - Grown a bit off me lately because I've been way too fixated on the retro winners but still a classic nonetheless. The stage show is just so perfect
27. Rise like a phoneix (Austria 2014) - Outstanding. I'm so impressed by the melody and especially the lyrics
28. Rock me baby (Yugoslavia 1989) - Underrated as heck, it's so funky and the message is interesting!
29. Diggi-loo Diggi-ley (Sweden 1984) - Diggiloo diggiley himlen öppnade sig yeah don't ask me I know the lyrics to this by heart
30. Net als toen (Netherlands 1957) - She looks like she's telling a whole life story, I love this
31. Nous les amoureux (Luxembourg 1961) - Yet another one that I didn't care about before, but when I gave it a try I really liked it. Didn't know he was actually singing about a same gender relationship?? In the early 60s??
32. Love Shine a Light (United Kingdom 1997) - Gives me a warm, comforting feeling, absolutely amazing
33. Boom bang-a-bang (United Kingdom 1969) - Yesss this is so cute as well, I love her expressions lol
34. Hold me now (Ireland 1987) - The superior Johnny Logan song
35. Ne partez pas sans moi (Switzerland 1988) - A literal queen, this was a no brainer win for that year
36. Refrain (Switzerland 1956) - Teleports me into the 50s. Oh to be a singer in the 50s...how would that be?
37. Ding-a-dong (Netherlands 1975) - The lyrics are incredibly silly, though the melody is super catchy
38. Only teardrops (Denmark 2013) - So beautiful, especially the flute.
These are good
39. 1944 (Ukraine 2016) - The glowy tree part always gives me the chills. I recently started to appreciate this more and the story behind the song is very tragic
40. Hard Rock Hallelujah (Finland 2006) - The costumes are 3 edgy 5 me but the song, oh yeah, the song's really great
41. J'aime la vie (Belgium 1986) - What a bop. kind of 80s generic music but I don't care
42. Non ho l'eta (Italy 1964) - The instrumental is pretty, however, since I discovered the lyrics I just...don't like it as much anymore. It's probably my least favorite italian winner if I'm being honest.
43. All kinds of everything (Ireland 1970) - Might have gotten diabetes over how sweet this song is
44. Merci, cherie (Austria 1966) - That bridge is beautiful as heck. underrated
45. What's Another Year (Ireland 1980) - Yeaaah, I like this a bit, feels kind of long at times tbh
46. Take me to your heaven (Sweden 1999) - Tend to overlook this one, I feel like it's not as fun as the other swedish schalgers from the past (Bra vibrationer, Fångad, Waterloo) but gave it a try recently and I sort of...liked it? Sure, not as much as the ones I mentioned earlier but it's solid tbh!
47. Wild Dances (Ukraine 2004) - The live version is very messy tbh, I listen to the studio more
48. Un jour, en enfant (France 1969) - I love how soft her voice is, but ultimately the song transforms into powerful vocals with an epic climax. The thing is that I don't really actively try to listen to this...
49. Stefania (Ukraine 2022) - Epic flute guy is back! Kind of grew off me, maybe if I'll relisten it might go some places up I guess
50. Ein bißchen frieden (Germany 1982) - Please it's so cozy campfire cottagecore aesthetic
Neutral, don't listen that much to them
51. Making your mind up (United Kingdom 1981) - So energetic and silly, 80s trash lolol
52. In your eyes (Ireland 1993) - My favorite out of the 3 back-to-back irish winners
53. Rock n roll kids (Ireland 1994) - One of the legendary irish wins, it's good I guess but not up my alley
54. Amar pelos dois (Portugal 2017) - Reminiscent of those classy 60s chansons which I appreciate, still kind of don't get out of my way to actively listen to this, though
55. I wanna (Latvia 2002) - The first winner that had something more on stage than just dancing. Love the outfit reveal lol
56. Everyway that I can (Turkey 2003) - Trash early 2000s ethnic pop at its finest
57. Satellite (Germany 2010) - ...I kind of used to listen to this at first since I found it quirky and fun, but now, along with some others I kind of forgot about it?
58. Fly on the wings of love (Denmark 2000) - Not exactly my favorite, but it's nice
59. Si la vie est cadeau (Luxembourg 1983) - Feels a bit bland I guess? But it's a good effort
60. Believe (Russia 2008) - Maybe I was influenced about the war, but this really fell down a loooot in my ranking. Epic ice skater guy is great, but I tend to dismiss this one as being a winner for some reason
61. La la la (Spain 1968) - It's repetitive as hell, but at least I like the verses more, right?
62. Tom Pillibi (France 1960) - Her singing can get a bit too high for my ears lmao but it's nice nonetheless
Don't care about them that much, sorry
63. Running scared (Azerbaijan 2011) - It's not bad per se, but I still ask myself how did this win. It lacks substance, any sort of charisma or dynamic between the two
64. Toy (Israel 2018) - I used to haaate this one back in 2018, then it kind of became a meme in my friend group. So I don't really know what to say about this one
65. Everybody (Estonia 2001) - Very funky, but sometimes I forget that this is one of the winners 😂
66. Diva (Israel 1998) - Listen Dana is amazing, but I feel that her song lacks something? She wasn't singing that great either. Don't really find myself listening to it that much so...
67. Dors mon amour (France 1958) - it's very calming, but feels like it drags on for too long I guess?
68. Un premier amour (France 1962) - why is it so repetitive help
69. Why me (Ireland 1992) - it's...too whiny and dramatic for me, sorry, it's the winner that I listened the least so far 😔
