Totally agree with your top 5. Sweden's entry is known as a modern hymn, often played and singed at churches in Sweden. Such a masterpiece. Thanks for a great UA-cam channel! 🌟
Here are my personal votes/rankings, i'am from the Netherlands 12 points: United Kingdom - Scott Fitzgerald - Go 10 points: Norway - Karoline Krüger - For var jord 8 points: Austria - Wilfried - Lisa Mona Lisa 7 points: Italy - Luca Barbarossa - Ti scrivo 6 points: Switzerland - Céline Dion - Ne partez pas sans moi 5 points: France - Gerard Lenorman - Chanteur de charme 4 points: Turkey - MFÖ - Sufi 3 points: Greece - Afroditi Frida - Clown 2 points: Belgium - Reynaert - Laissez briller le soleil 1 point : Sweden - Tommy Körberg - Stad i ljus
The UK and Switzerland really deserved to fight to the end, they both can be placed very high on anyone's top. But Sweden, Luxembourg, Norway and Denmark stick out as the masterpieces of this contest. Same for Israel and France.

My favourite Swedish entry ever and still one of my favourite entries in general. My other favourite that year was Luxembourg and I had a big soft spot for Italy. Didn’t like the winner at all.
An amazing production from RTÉ (that’s what we’ll expect over the next 10 years). A good set of songs though the winner is overrated imo. My points: 1p 🇵🇹 Portugal 2p 🇩🇪 Germany 3p 🇪🇸 Spain 4p 🇸🇪 Sweden 5p 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 6p 🇧🇪 Belgium 7p 🇮🇱 Israel 8p 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 10p 🇩🇰 Denmark 12p 🇳🇴 Norway
This used to be my least favourite Eurovision year of the 80's but has since grown a lot on me. It's crazy to think Switzerland only won at the final gong, now it's so hard to imagine a timeline where Céline didn't win. Just like it's now amazing to see her and Lara at Eurovision, knowing how incredibly succesful they had become. Portugal's backupsingers were British, and one of them was backup singer to Sade and it really shows that they didn't know the language.
A good year, I like a lot of songs here. Here's what I think! 21. France 20. Austria 19. Greece 18. Turkey 17. Ireland 16. Germany 15. Portugal 14. Luxembourg 13. Yugoslavia 12. Norway 11. Belgium 10. Israel 9. Switzerland 8. Iceland 7. Sweden 6. Finland 5. Italy 4. The Netherlands 3. Spain 2. Denmark 1. United Kingdom
21- It is catchy, nothing else 20- Quite overrated 19- I like this Mother-Daughter duo. It's a sweet song 18- ZZZ, awful vocals 17- Extremely Spanish and great 16- Am I the only one who likes this? 15- Pretty disappointing from Ireland 14- It's alright, I like his voice 13- Hugely underrated from Finland 12- I really enjoyed this 11- It's child's play, annoying as hell 10- I think these guys are amazing 9- My favourite, this bit is the best bit of the song although it's all amazing 8- Heavily underrated song 7- I like it. It's a catchy song and Gérard has a great voice 6- It's a sweet song. Nice voice 5- Yes it's Celine Dion and she has got a great voice but it's not my favourite 4- Beautiful from my country. Great song and wonderful voice but that result was criminal 3- A lovely song and a great singer 2- I love Hot Eyes in all their entries 1- It's a sweet song and he's got a good voice
Ok I'll be totally honest that I hadn't listened to that song until just now to answer this question. It's not a bad song it has some interesting elements. I can't really give a proper placing after just one listen but I'd guess around 10th.
Celine Dion was amazing and is amazing singer but the song is just not too strong in my opinion. I think apart from the opening of Eurovision 1989 that she has never performed it ever after the contest.
For me it is one of the weakest years ever... here is my Top 5: 1. My first place 🥇: Switzerland 🇨🇭 2. My second place 🥈: Spain 🇪🇸 3. My third place 🥉: Germany 🇩🇪 4. Portugal 🇵🇹 5. Yugoslavia 🇭🇷
@@alphajackman8656 I changed my mind about Spain. I still don't like it but I don't find it as bad as I did 3 months ago when I wrote this comment. I can't stand the UK song. I hate his voice, THE LYRICS, and the melody.

Celine Dion was amazing and is amazing singer but the song is just not too strong in my opinion.
I think apart from the opening of Eurovision 1989 that she has never performed it ever after the contest.
Agree with all your top 6, not agree with Israel, Germany and Spain (deserved higher place) and Portugal (deserved lower place)
Only me likes yugoslavia:(
No you aren’t!!! I love 💗 it too !!!

How did UK and Spain not get 0 points?
UK and Spain didn't deserve zero points, they're both good songs.
@@alphajackman8656 I changed my mind about Spain. I still don't like it but I don't find it as bad as I did 3 months ago when I wrote this comment.
I can't stand the UK song. I hate his voice, THE LYRICS, and the melody.
OMG Sweden 1st place?:)) Such a primitive, repetitive melody:( My top 5: 1. France, 2. Switzerland, 3. Luxemburg, 4. Norway, 5. Portugal
I could say the same for Luxembourg, but I love it all the same! It's mostly the trumpet that does it for me anyway
@@eurovisionconnor Lara Fabian has at least an extraordinary voice ;)
