The BBC don't have a copy of this contest anymore (it accidentally wasn't kept in their archive), so this is one of the only versions existing with this commentary. Great find!
@@Boban1611 You should watch some of the Doctor Who fan channels on here - they explain how the BBC archives worked. Basically, like a load of studios in music and other media, they never used to value old footage and recordings and as tape was expensive, they'd reuse it. Any cine film BBC used (they'd send to other markets) they'd scrap. So it wasn't until the late 1970s before they realised "hang on, this is useful". Remember, we didn't even have REPEATS on TV in Britain at that time, nor videotape in the home. You watched it or never saw it/ Different mindset.
ITALY...I hunted high and low for this 45 rpm and finally found it all those years ago. In 1984 I was 28 nd now 66....but I did learn Italian as a result....xxxx love to all and espcially those my age who remember when. xxxx
The guy looked a little lost, though the song itself was flattered in this mediocre field. As for the other top contenders, I don't think Ireland deserved to win, I preferred Portugal to Spain so that just left Sweden, the most energetic performance you were going to get on the night, winning by default.
@@stevebbuk Yes. The Italian song is my favorite alongside the Dutch entry. I wish the vocals in the beginning of the Italian number weren't quite so weak - the three opera singers should have sung the beginning as well as the end - and Franco did seem a bit off and apathetic with his behavior, but I love Alice!

It s for me the only song of the "80 s that s still beautiful and is an evergreen. And the Herry's a one of the bad taste winner of the Eurovision histroy
NETHERLANDS TRULY should have finished this much higher..I learned the lyrics and sing this with my friends when they visit the USA from The Netherlands...everyone stops and looks...its is a beautiful melody 1984 wow.....
Postcards are great. Especially I find Turkish and Cypriot postcards amazing and funny. Well done, Luxembourg television in spite of tiny scene! This is my points: 12) Italy 10) Spain 8) Sweden 7) Portugal 6) Ireland 5) Yugoslavia 4) Turkey 3) Germany 2) Belgium 1) Switzerland
One of the worst winner but (in my opinion) one of the best productions - I loved the postcards, stage and I liked Desiree. Italy should have won this year.
Love that host! She is so cute! 🤗 My favorites : Sweden (I think they were amazing!), Denmark, Turkey, Spain, Luxemburg, Uk, Norway, Cyprus, Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Itaöy Austria, Finland (R. I. P Kirka), Ireland (start liking it now, better than why me) A good year
I came here because the "Eurovision" movie made me nostalgic for the time when I lived in Europe (as an American). I remember watching the 1984 contest on TV in Germany, and I remember thinking that 19-year-old Desiree Nosbusch was the perfect multilingual European woman for me. :-) I looked her up and it turns out she's been living in L.A. for many years, so her English must be way better today than it was then (but it was charming then).
The production was way better than 1983, but the song's weren't. The winner was cheerful and nice, but I prefered Italy, Finland and Portugal. My favourite contests from the 1980's are 1982, 1985 and 1988, though.
My personal top three: 1. Italy (In my opinion one of the best Eurovision entries ever.) 2. West Germany 3. Spain 💛 💚 💙 Sweden not even close to my top ten, or to say it in Swedish: Fel låt vann!
27:53-30:44 : I must have to precise that at the same time, in the spring of 1984, the famous american singer Cyndi Lauper who had an as extravagant look as these three singers, had just realeased her first succesful mondial hit single "Girls just want to have fun" !
And now it's just a spectacle..a farce..not a family show anymore when those feel.the need to be half naked and act like they are in a porn film ..wouldn't let kids watch it anymore as I did growing up ..the conductor coming on and the build up was exciting and waiting for each countries results no matter how long it took ..well too long ..but was all part of the thrill ..now it's just a joke .
First of all, that stage was brilliant for back than. Wow! As far as the songs go, my fave song when listening to audio tracks is Switzerland, but the live performance had poor audio mixing with the female singer sounding too loud. Other songs that I really enjoy are Italy, Finland and Belgium and they all delivered live. I love the little play with her hair Alice did at the end of Italian performance, charming! Luxembourg was awful vocally, that should have finished near bottom, not Yugoslavia which had a very decent song and performance. Turkey deserved better too. The winner was disappointing to me...
Really ? The stage was modern for its time ? I wasn't around then but that surprised me. It was essentially what Netherlands did in 76? The postcards and presenting style definatly were

La chanson de Sophie Carle qui représentait le Luxembourg était déjà moins bonne que celle de Corinne Hermès ("Si la vie est cadeau") l'année précédente, et Sophie Carle elle-même a dit qu'elle n'avait eu aucun retour de son lors de sa prestation, raison pour laquelle la justesse de son chant était aléatoire. En réalité, le Luxembourg avait donc gagné l'Eurovision l'année précédente, en 1983 donc avec Corinne Hermès et sa chanson "Si la vie est cadeau". Cette année-là, 1984 la finale du concours avait donc lieu au Luxembourg. Et je pense que Sophie Carle qui, en plus, avait une chanson moyenne, n'a pas été aidée par la régie dans l'idée de faire perdre le Luxembourg pour que le pays n'ait pas à nouveau à organiser la finale de l'édition 1985 du concours.

I havent seen this since it aired and I'd absolutely forgotten how fascinatingly bad Luxembourg and Norway were. I'm only at the UK so far so it could get worse!
Luxembourg was obviously sabotage to guarantee that they wouldn't win again. Norway is just entertaining in my opinion, It's so bad that it becomes sort of good.
Back then it wouldn't be possible since it was not permitted to play the songs before the finale, unlike today. Not counting the national finale though. The song could get disqualified if the rule was broken. The only thing similar between these two songs is the language. The Norwegian song is bad, cringe worthy bad. And Benedicte trying to demonstrate she masters opera is less than successful. The Danish song is kinda cute though.

Not the best year this. A handful of decent ones. One observation is comparing Luxembourg with France (because they are concurrent).

Seriously? Spanish song was quite good that year. Look: 1983... Portugal give 0 points to Spain. Last 15 years: Soviet alliance, Nordic alliance, Balcanic alliance... even they had to change the voting system! Anyway, if you understand a language you may like more the songs, portuguese understand spanish, french, italian...
Linda Martin had here 100 time better song not mention vocal skill should won definitely not in 1992 this swedish American boys was so bad how they could won was many better lol
@@Tomek-mf2ln Worst winners definitely the crap sent by Latvia, Estonia and well... The 2000s had some terrible songs till the level went up during the 2010s.
@Ludovic Ouimet Sertab was definitely one of the worst. I'm glad that Turkey won at least once, but she was terrible, English to actual singing voice. But again, the 2000s had the worst Eurovisions and songs.
The two ladies from Norway were like trolls. The song was cheap & monotonous. The presenter was not better; incoherent, not experience, blabbing and also bereft of appeal. What an miserable year.

I absolutely agree, I was completely in love with Herrey’s the Swedish winners. Remember playing the song over and over😍
Listening te first songs I truly understand why ESC was considered as outdated and kitsch. Really I’m not missing g those years.
Today is not outdated but it's 1000 times more kitsch, I'd say trash !
I gather that English football hooligans had done their usual thing in Luxembourg the previous autumn, hence the booing and the references to Luxembourg "not liking our football"...

Italy above all, a timeless masterpiece, 2nd the Portugal's jewel. The winner ? 😂 Triumph of kitsch and bad taste.
Celebrities are New Year in 1984:
Cher (Sonny & Cher) - 38
probably the worst winner of all time (with 1989)...at least for me.
listen i also rlly dont like the 84 winner but im from the parts of the ex yugoslavia that won in 1989 so no hate but i hope i can unsee ur comment : )
Not for me, 89 and 84 were good. 2018 and 2003 take the worst crown for me... Only thing is, they're both new... Showing how bad new Eurovision is.
@@nicoledickson6099 thanks for the suppprt on the 1989 one, that was when my country won

Portugal: France 7 pts, Italy 8 pts, Spain 12 pts.
Hmm, what a surprise....
Seriously? Spanish song was quite good that year.
Look: 1983... Portugal give 0 points to Spain.
Last 15 years: Soviet alliance, Nordic alliance, Balcanic alliance... even they had to change the voting system!
Anyway, if you understand a language you may like more the songs, portuguese understand spanish, french, italian...
yep Portugal has strong ties with France and Spain, and afinity with Italy.
and don’t forget 6 points to the United Kingdom from Portugal too!
@@JeSuisRene Well, Portugal and England had one of the longest military alliances in european history...
You know it's a bad contest when the first song wins.
Why? You know the Running order was random Back then, right?
Eek.
And a bad song.

My number one sweden and denmark number two much better than irlnd
Terrible year ..................standard was poor.
Worst winner ever, sorry...
No, there were worse winners; Yugoslavia '89 and Germany '10 for example
@@Tomek-mf2ln
Worst winners definitely the crap sent by Latvia, Estonia and well...
The 2000s had some terrible songs till the level went up during the 2010s.
@@yaniva.7626 i agree ❤️
@Ludovic Ouimet
Sertab was definitely one of the worst. I'm glad that Turkey won at least once, but she was terrible, English to actual singing voice. But again, the 2000s had the worst Eurovisions and songs.
Of course Ireland should won. Johnny Logan and Linda Martin were robbed...
The two ladies from Norway were like trolls. The song was cheap & monotonous.
The presenter was not better; incoherent, not experience, blabbing and also bereft of appeal. What an miserable year.
The Portuguese music was so beautiful. Listen carefully.
