Can you imagine the BBC hosting Eurovision nowadays? It would probably be amazing, even better than Sweden, too bad they don´t wanna win and keep sending non-competitive entries.
I like how every time the 'oooohhhss' in the audience get louder every time the Macedonia jury gives points to neither Israel or Malta. Must have been nerve wracking!
I was watching this live from Israel, the entire country almost had a heart attack, but at the end we couldn't sleep till the morning. We were so excited. Too bad our former broadcast authority couldn't produce such a great Eurovision as 1998 in 1999. But we more than compensated in 2019 :)
Easily one of the best finals ever, right DOWN to the wire! That reaction when Macedonia gave Israel 8 points, then everybody thought Malta had won, then they gave the points to Croatia instead, giving the UK second place! Intense!
This was one of the very best Eurovision song finals. Dana International and Her Song Diva FOREVER ROCK! Thank you, Dana International. Israel is currently in war with Hamas but there are some joyful moments of the Israeli people. This is one of them! Bravo!
I agree with you but the special thing for those years was that the rivalry was between three or four countries. In 79, 91 and 2002 just two countries struggled with each other.

@ 30:35 I didn't get the confusion and public's uproar surrounding the edited and inaudible exchange between the host in Britain and the host in Hilversum. Does anyone know what really happened?
The lady from the Netherlands said that she can imagine how the contestants feel since she participated herself adding that it was a long time ago, the last part went apparently unheard by the public. So what they heard was Ulrika repeating "it was a long time ago, wasn't it?" implying the dutch host is old i guess. ua-cam.com/video/TwgZY7Y1_Ls/v-deo.html You can hear the exchange in better quality around 02:38:00

I actually think it was better because it felt like every single point mattered. Nowadays its just rushed (even more so with the new system coming this year) and the points from 1-7 doesnt seem to matter and in truth they do but it doesnt feel that way when they are just thrown onto the scoreboard. When they announced all the points it felt a lot better to get for example 5 points than it does now.
It was so much more exciting! Every point mattered and you could actually see all the small details in the scoreboard. Unfortunately this is not doable with so many countries
I very much prefered it the traditional way It's way too fast nowadays and the lower points seem not to matter which is a shame Also, I learned all the countries in English and French thanks to Eurovision
