Part 2 of the voting in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest. Midway through this video, transmission problems cause the scoreboard to turn blue for the remainder of the voting.
Neighbourly voting is nothing new in Eurovision, whether in Scandinavia or not, it's just that today block voting practically dominates the contest. With Scandinavia, in the old days, if a Scandinavian song had potential it was likely to be very much supported by its neighbours (such as here). It was also sometimes the other way around, completely ignoring each other.
I believe it was a transmission error in the camera filming the scoreboard. If you look at it from the hall, it's actually black and has yellow letters.
@DavidSandKnakMUSIK You don't even have to include the entire Balkan. Only from former Yugoslavia there are now 7 countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia. So I agree, even IF the Nordic countries really do perfom block voting, it's not near on the same scale as the Balkans.
@setheurovision94 The diffrence is here, that Scandinavia were 4 nations (5 when Iceland joined in 86), but the countries at the Balcan peninsula is less 25!
I loved United Kingdom this year: Denmark 12 points! We (and UK as well) had one of the best songs placed in 1984.
Why did the scoreboard chanching colour? From black to blue?

Such as Norway 93 that received nothing from Sweden and Denmark. And I don't think Norway gave anything to Sweden and Denmark either.
Where are the Herreys sitting, if not with all the other contestants?

Yeah, 10 points to Switzerland and Cyprus? Lol, the voting was really TOO balanced this year.
So were the votes from Denmark, too....
Thank you, someone finally voted for Austria... I feel bad when countries get zero votes.
Thanks for uploading!
