I think it would be unfair to bring it back. English songs are just what people are used to internationally and sound familiar and good because of the language. That would give GB, Ireland and Australia an unfair advantage. Also, counties like Switzerland that have more than one language as their national language would have an advantage as well. But it would be kind of cool to do it every 10 years as a special edition 😊
Ironically, the song from 1974 is probably the most important song in the Portuguese History... It was played on the radio as a secret signal to start the 1974 revolution.
1974: Portugal last place with "E depois do adeus" (after goodbye) 1997: Portugal last place with "Antes do adeus" (before goodbye) Conclusion: Never say goodbye
The statistics: 1. Norway: 11 times 2: Finland: 9 times 3. Belgium: 8 times Austria 4: Germany: 7 times 5. Switzerland: 6 times 6. Spain: 5 times 7. Netherlands: 4 times Portugal 8. Malta: 3 times Turkey Luwemborg United Kingdom 9. Monaco: 2 times Ireland Sweden Iceland 10. Denmark: 1 time Cyprus France Lithuania Yugoeslavia Italy
If a song is in last place and has 0 points, for example, that just means that the song was never voted into the TOP 10 in any country. But it can have reached the number 11 everywhere. This applies both in the semifinals and in the final. The widespread disappointment after that I find totally stupid. This also hurts the participants for no reason. And all those who voted for them. This spoils the character of the event, which is actually about mutual appreciation. Countries do not have to win the ESC, each country just shares its own song with the others. The points are there to be able to show at least some countries the appreciation for their song. More does not fit in the airtime.
The worst part is someone from each country had to approve each song. Imagine hearing Cry Baby for the first time and thinking 'Oh yeah, that's a winner'
Only if you assume every country actually *cares* enough about the contest in the first place or has *any* intention of winning it. Listen, hosting the contest is incredibly expensive and since most of the artists and songs are never heard of ever again many countries simply don't bother and just send somebody to "represent" them or let televoters tell who will represent them (like in the UK where it's a little tv show mostly teens decide who should represent them). Here's what has been revealed now that over 40 years have passed. Sweden won the ESC with legendary ABBA in 1974 and hosted to contest in 1975. It turns out that was seriously expensive. So much so that Sweden chose not to compete in 1976 at all since they could ill-afford to win it again. Sweden didn't want to win it either in 1977 so what did they do? It was revealed that the "jury groups" in the Swedish contest were urged to vote for "the distinctly average song". It's clear Sweden made sure they couldn't possibly win in 1977. As it turned out they finished dead last in 1977. The plan worked. Now, do you honestly think the other countries didn't have similar plans to avoid winning it - especially if they have already won the contest sometimes before? Have you ever noticed how low the winning countries tend to place the year after? Well, it goes without saying the COST of hosting the ESC is often too high - and especially so considering most countries have their own rich music scene in which they couldn't care less whether they win or don't win the ESC. Seriously, if you honestly believe that all countries always send songs they like or want to win with you can't be too bright. And with all the obvious joke songs being entered - some even intentionally mocking the whole contest - it's clear as day not everybody send entries to win.
@@EVO6- Don't go around calling people ignorant just because you feel like it. I've only heard I think up until 1963, and I genuinely thought that. They were really good singers even though they lost.
Last at Eurovision doesn't mean it sounds bad. The last position is often given to : - musical styles which popularity started to fade away the very year, - mainstream songs in the shadow of similar other competitors whose performance was clearly more glittering, - too obvious plagiarism of previous winners or notorious artists, - and of course, vocal acting failures on 'serious' songs.
You forget a couple of things: - Something truly original and unusual which won't appeal to the broad public. - Musical styles which are not quite common enough for the average Eurovision viewer - Musical styles which actually are AHEAD of time and too modern sounding (happened in the 70's and 80's) - A "funny sounding" language. - Funny songs in which the joke is lost on the public who don't understand the language - or the joke. - Songs mocking the competition which never were meant as serious entries anyway.
its ironic that the portguese entry of 1974 is the least voted of that year since its problely the most historicly important song ever sung on the eurovision as it was used in the carnaction revultion as a counter-code. and honestly it an amazing song the lyrics are amazing theres a line that says "the samrt man says that the songs are over " as a direct critic to cencership at the time the story of that song is amazing
Wow... Austria 2015 was incredible. How did they come last? Damn! Germany in 2016 was one of my favourite songs of the year. Another shocker for me. Spain in 2017 though... gotta admit, that voice crack gets me every time.

It’s a big rip off from Stromae’s song « Papaoutai ». Since he’s so popular in Europe I think people caught on and didn’t want to vote for « Moustache ».

Little did they know that "E depois do amor" by Paulo de Carvalho was used as a code song for the 25th of April of 1974 in Portugal, which ended a dictatorship of 41 years :)
@@astrangermagi well, we don't need it anymore. Portugal' revolution was one of the few that didn't need deaths to make a point. And that song is a simbol of that, and it seems enough ❤️ moreover, when we finally won the Eurovison, we made the most points EVER in Eurovison History 😏
The music at 9:13 is one of the best songs in Portugal history, when this song was played on the morning of 25th of April 1974 the carnation revolution had started, so yeah, this song marks the end of the Portuguese dictatorship.
A lot of these aren’t technically last, they qualified from the semis in to the final so the actual last places are the ones who came last in the semis.
And then there's the question whether they were better or worse than those big countries (UK, France, Germany, Spain and the host) who qualify automatically to finals and usually one of them ends up dead last...

9:04 FUN FACT!! After the Eurovision song festival they became an extreme sensation in Belgium, being last in the competition but being first in our hearts💖
Watching this video we have to keep in mind that in the ”early days” everyone had to sing with their own language. So countries with a unique language didnt have a high change of winning. So, songs that were in french (France, Luxemburg) would do better. French was much more common than english in Europe before the 70’s.
Oh, they absolutely can - as long as it is a new song. It's just not worth it for the big international stars: It's a lot of time and work for modest pay; the reward for winning is mostly fame and sales (which they already have). Besides, there's a genuine risk of doing a bad performance or song (or just getting bad voting results), and that may be worse than just not participating in the first place.
"Fun" Fact The music in 9:17 ,Paulo de Carvalho's "E Depois do Adeus" was the first signal for the Portuguese Armed Forces Movement to start their mobilizations thorough the country on the 24 of April that would be later the Carnation Revolution that would end the authoritarian regime and create a democracy on the country.
It's maybe because more than half of the population is close to being bilingual and as a result writing English songs is much easier. The Dutch language isn't that ugly anyway, it's just that only native speakers know the language and understand what is said.

Because they weren't actually last places, the actual last places are semi-final songs. With the change of the format, there are much better songs in the final night nowadays (well, the big five can produce some crap, being that they go directly to the finals).

@Suomi Agree, but I think it's a bit strange that your username is 'suomi' and you still seem to imply Norwegian is a unique isolated language like Finnish is. As you will probably know Norwegian is very much understandable for Danes and Swedes. Also, German, Dutch and even English speakers will perhaps still understand some words here and there because of common Germanic origins but also the big indirect influence of Northern German dialects on Norwegian and to a lesser extent the old Norse vocabulary which entered English during the Middle Ages.
@Cheese Head Oh, that's really interesting! I never knew Scandinavia was that into German lol. I always heard people making fun of German because it supposedly sounds really angry (because they only know German from Hitler speeches). I learned German in school as well, but that's just bc I'm Dutch.
The same for Vesa-Matti Loiri. He is now something like 80 years old and he has been an important figure in Finnish entertainment and cultural life his whole life. He is very loved all around Finland and even Huilumies is appreciated. The same isn't true about all ESC failures though. Some became persona non grata and some just bad jokes.

Being the worst of the best is not that bad. People have different tastes. Just remember, that some people decided, that this is the song that is going to represent them this year.

Its kind of sad that countries can't send their big stars in. I'd love to see a sing-off between Robbie Williams and Rammstein.
Oh, they absolutely can - as long as it is a new song. It's just not worth it for the big international stars: It's a lot of time and work for modest pay; the reward for winning is mostly fame and sales (which they already have). Besides, there's a genuine risk of doing a bad performance or song (or just getting bad voting results), and that may be worse than just not participating in the first place.
Big names wouldn't be fair on the other countries and I wouldn't want to see just a redo of the charts. I want to see new artist,
The reason Finland isn't everyone of these is because this is the semi-finals, Finland ain't making it this far ever.

The music in 9:17 ,Paulo de Carvalho's "E Depois do Adeus" was the first signal for the Portuguese Armed Forces Movement to start their mobilizations thorough the country on the 24 of April that would be later the Carnation Revolution that would end the authoritarian regime and create a democracy on the country.

Uhh thanks...
Harsh 😂😂😂
It's maybe because more than half of the population is close to being bilingual and as a result writing English songs is much easier. The Dutch language isn't that ugly anyway, it's just that only native speakers know the language and understand what is said.

@Suomi Agree, but I think it's a bit strange that your username is 'suomi' and you still seem to imply Norwegian is a unique isolated language like Finnish is. As you will probably know Norwegian is very much understandable for Danes and Swedes. Also, German, Dutch and even English speakers will perhaps still understand some words here and there because of common Germanic origins but also the big indirect influence of Northern German dialects on Norwegian and to a lesser extent the old Norse vocabulary which entered English during the Middle Ages.

The same for Vesa-Matti Loiri. He is now something like 80 years old and he has been an important figure in Finnish entertainment and cultural life his whole life.
