Could'nt agree more about your top 3, but I probably would've put Italy's Elvis, Bobby Solo, in the top 5. After this wonderful walk through Memory lane, I need to go back to see how I voted in the Grootyvision Watchalong. Thanks for a fantastic UA-cam channel and your marvelous Grootyvision World. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yes! My first place is your first place! I had a really hard time pinpointing on what I didn't like about UK's entry until your description on it came up, and you just hit the nail right on my head.
I also have Austria and Luxmebourg top 2 and it's near impossible to choose between them. I think our biggest disagreement is Denmark, in which the lifelessness and repetition work for me - the solemn tone works well with the lyrics, and mangages to captivate me. Melodically it works for me too.
This a great year! The top 3, specially, is fantastic! As always, your analysis make me understand your points and your edition is just as tasteful as your comments! Take care, kära!
I reckon I can put my finger on why you like song#6 😏- BTW - What exactly is a Chromatic chord interval? - You forgot your spellcheck on song#3😉 - My favourite is the one I always remember from this year...Song#4.
What do you mean??? It's totally supposed to be spelled "beatufiul". So, chromaticism is when you move one semitone either upwards or downwards in a continuous manner. All other scales consist of a combination of half-step intervals and full-step intervals, but the chromatic scale includes every single note in an octave. I'll provide an example to try to make it clear. During the final part of "Paradies, wo bist du?" the chords are descending from F to E to D# to D to C# to C. All those chords are based on lowering the primary note one semitone downwards. To contrast, if a song would've been in the F minor scale, a descending chord interval would normally look like F to D# to C# to C. The chromatic interval adds all the chords in between that a minor scale skips. It's not the conventional way to write music, but in the right song and context, it can sound really great! I hope that all makes sense... Let me know if I should expand on it haha
Luxembourg was the correct winner. It was the song that sounded most like the music that was charting in 1965. Ireland is my runner-up. Otherwise, I never cared much for this year in particular.

This tasteful top 5. And of course the best Udo entry.
Ireland
Bit harsh on the UK and France, but I'm very happy you liked Ceznja. Of course, I seem to be the only one who doesn't like Luxembourg haha
My Top 5: Ireland, France, Spain, Luxembourg, ITALY.
Wonderful music
