Still can't believe Portugal only scored 9 points with their amazing entry. Adelaide Ferreira gave her soul during that performance, and rightfully deserved more.
Always liked Terry Wogan on Radio 2, and everyone used to rave about his ESC commentary. In hindsight though, he was actually wrong so often. Austria gave Germany zero. Switzerland gave Germany zero. He was always going on about neighbour countries helping each other, like Sweden giving Norway 12 here, but I am from UK and we did not deserve to win in the 80s apart from 1981. Sweden gave Norway 12 as it was the best song. I dont know what made Terry always think the UK was hard done by. Some of the UK 1980s songs were terrible. Norway totally deserved this and glad UK gave them 12.
I'm surprised that Norway's total is the lowest victory tally ever under this scoring system - considering the mediocre competition, they deserved to win by a far greater margin.
"That threw my.... political considerations into a bit of a tizzy there" Did Terry think all the juries sat in a room together exchanging votes like Pokémon cards or something 🤣
Norway deserved that victory! For a 2nd time in the 80s Germany who finished runner up were snubbed by their fellow German speaking country, lovely to see UK score 100 pts even without a single douze points and first occasion neither Cyprus or Greece traded 12(would happen again just twice) which was rightfully so as both had mediocre entries.
Jack Walker in 1980 they only got 3 points from Luxembourg where are German speakers as well and Switzerland didn't give any points at all to Germany in 1981 making the UK winners.
hanne krogh[which i like] deserved more in 1971 but was overrated in 1985.there were better songs like germany',spain,finland and sweden.my winner is germany
L'Italie ou l'Espagne auraient mérité de gagner!et pas cette bien médiocre et insipide chanson norvégienne chantée de surcroît en anglais. Norvège 00 point!
In 1975, the winning song got one point from the last jury. The same thing happened in 1985!

I love that song. Trust me, though, it took me more than 10 times to have to listen to it to remember its melody.

Paloma San Basilio ( SPAIN ) is very good
Deutschland wurde um den sieg beschissen! War mit abstand der song!! Tausend mal besser wie der scheiß aus norwegen!

and also their victory in 1995 was the lowest in that standards
But ironically they robbed the bank with 2009 victory

You'd think she was being paid by the minute.

Jack Walker 3rd time.. 2nd in 1980 and 1981.

it's not the first time - in 1983 Greece didn't give a single point to Cyprus
Luxemburg decided the winner
Greece gave points to the other songs no to the top 3.
Greece gave one point to Norway.
She's so boring, long pauses, mistakes etc
hanne krogh[which i like] deserved more in 1971 but was overrated in 1985.there were better songs like germany',spain,finland and sweden.my winner is germany
Finland deserved to win!
It was terrible
Germany betrayed by the German speaking countries Austria and Switzerland with 0 from both of them
Yes the coup de grace for Germany was Austria awarding Norway 12 and Germany nothing.
