Can we appreciate how Carrie, the host, dealt with the voting in a very natural way, very pleasant with every spokesperson, keeping the pace...? Very good hosting indeed, in the vein of Petra Meede (of course each one with their own personality).
Absolutely, she was wonderful, considering that never enjoyed being a tv presenter. She would later quit tv presenting just a couple of years later to return to her first love which was acting and a very talented actress she is too
Correct but Graham Norton has done a good job since IMO, he said he could never match Wogan and has to do it in his own style but so far I think he's done it well.
Eurovision is a joke these days...just look at Netta and Conchita Wurst and the fact that Australia can enter! Great Britain won the contest five times when it was a serious song contest and there are not many other countries who have won it more times.

Why do people feel the need to bash an entry just because someone else wanted it to win instead? Turkey was gorgeous that year, the song was ethnically true to the country, well constructed with a beautiful melody. It felt both ethnically ancient and yet modern, fun and fresh. However, the UK was a well deserved win that year, with a universal message everyone could get behind and a ridiculously catchy melody. There's a reason it was chosen as an anthem for this year's contestants to sing together, in the midst of this pandemic. It's a great, timeless song. Both songs are great, no need for people to get petty.
I respectfully disagree. UK used people's ability in understanding English . Turkey sent songs with universally good messages too (Halay 1984 (12th), Halley 1986(9th) ) it was barely in first 10 because no one in EU understood the language!!! Just by judging the music, Turkey's entry was far ahead of UK's and Ireland's in 1997 .

I don't need to get over anything but with these responses you better stop acting like a hit dog. England/UK/US/Canada/Australia..etc are using the benefits of having a native language which is globally used and practiced for international communication. 200 years ago it was French, and since the second half of last century, it is English. That's a fact which is accepted my many native english speakers who don't know any 2nd language. On top of that, there was a rise of English pop and rock music culture beginning from 60s and till the end of 90s. Check the famous "world known" rock bands and their origins/language. This is definitely have a "positive effect" on the choice of the audience. They associate "the language" with popular musics. Here why you have the large margin in such songs. When the language barrier is gone, the upper hand of UK and Ireland is also gone. Among the eurovision songs of course they will chose this song as an anthem not because it is a "eurovision song" with universal message , but also "the consestants can sing it together" because it is in English. You think they could have used a french or German or serbian song with universal message???

They paid their dues as touring and recording musicians for many years leading up to this spectacular moment. Most of the time I watch and enjoy this without getting emotional but sometimes.....there's a few tears owing to the majesty of the performance and the sentiment in the song. More frequently, it gives me goose bumps because it is one of the best performances I will ever see and I love it every time I hear it. I saw KATW twice, once in 1988 and then in 1995, with both performances extremely polished. It came as no surprise that they were able to pull this off so brilliantly to walk away with the crown as the highest scoring act of all time ( I don't know if that has changed as I haven't watched the contest for over 15 years). I hope the band read the comments about them on You Tube so they know how much their fan base appreciates them as I for one believe they are one of the most unsung and underrated bands Britain has seen. I am glad to be among those who have been lucky enough to know the value of their music since the mid eighties.
More points awarded to the uk from about the first 5 or 6 juries, than we've had, in total, in about the last 5yrs.... Without doubt, our greatest Eurovision moment and greatest Eurovision song.
So I have watched Eurovision since I was little but have got into it over the past couple of years even though we never do well anymore. I was used to the announcers reading out the 8, 10 & 12 points! Can't believe they had to read out all the points!
If you think it's for Brexit, you're wrong... Where was the last time you actually send a good song? Maybe 2009 It's my time??? In fact, you were in top 10 that year... In the '60s and '70s you were a powerhouse of the competition because you actually send very good songs...
Quint Essential Mmmmm, I don't think it's that... Bonnie Tyler and Blue for example were worldwide known... So it's pretty obvious that something lacks in the songs, I suppose...
Quint Essential Bonnie Tyler is a serious artist... Total eclypse of a heart, never heard of it? It's just one of the most famous love songs around the World. Lol... How can you even say she is not good... Blue? They sold millions of albums all over the World. I don't like them a lot, but you can't say they aren't big names...
Bless Katrina - it is a wonder she could sing the reprise at all after all that shouting and screaming with excitement. It was a time of great hope and a positiveness about the future which was really special.
Greece and Cyprus are one people two nations and other countries exchange twelve points and vice versa like Moldova and Romania who are one people two nations since these two countries have Romanian as an official language and exchange twelve points and vice versa. Also Azerbaijan and Turkey are one people two nations and exchange twelve points and vice versa.
To be fair to Terry, he did admit on separate TV shows discussing Eurovision that Greece and Cyprus were the only two countries who knew what each other were singing about and given all the block voting which dogged the contest in the years that lay ahead, those days of Greece and Cyprus voting for each other now seem so innocent.
This year is the one of the strongest contest in eurovision history.

I was impressed with how the presenter (whose name escapes me) was able to say "good evening" in every language. That would've taken me a few years of practice.
Kazanan şarkı da o kadar fark atacak kadar iyi değilmiş. Türkiye fena değildi. 1. veya 2. olabilirdi. Yine de müthiş performans Şebnem Paker.Çok güzeldi.
1997 was an amazing year for Eurovision, to such an extent that the UK's victory, while deserved, was undeservedly one-sided. Ireland definitely shouldn't have come second, but what can you do. Carry Crowley was a great host, possibly the best Eurovision host Ireland ever had, and the production was nothing short of perfect.
RYZE the downfall of the uk started after this song was won with politics and stuff then I believe something happened to do with the people getting sent in although I can’t remember off the top of my head
@@Euroviking86 It wouldn't matter if the UK put in the best song. It would get 40 points maximum. That's the reason why we don't put in great songs because the contest is politically motivated.
On entend beaucoup mieux la trompette lors de la reprise de la chanson, et la partition est absolument épique, on l'entend bien au troisième couplet, et au dernier refrain, superbe, je lui aurais donné 12 points juste pour la trompette ! Bien sûr la partition violons est magnifique aussi.
I don't mind Graham Norton doing the Eurovision , but I will always miss Terry Wogan doing this. The way he took the piss out of voting and the songs were just brilliant.
@ 7:03 2 things that little did terry know at the time that 1 was the 1st douze point of many for UK in 1997 and 2nd that 1st 12 points give UK the lead they never lost
I always 'pick up speed' with these results. Cause time is like thunder, ah-ah. Or as girls of Mrs.Einstein (the Netherlands) sing, "Niemand heeft nog tijd!"
In 1991 there was no televoting and there were 22 countries competing and in 2019 it was 41 countries including Australia. It's the new countries entering and the introduction of televoting made Eurovision a ridiculous farce. Ireland struggles to get past the semi finals every year. This year UK came last in the final and Ireland came last in the semi final.
@@phillipwilloughby5013 Yeah. But you forgot to note that Lesley's voice wasnt that great in her performance and the staging was distracting. Also Newman didnt live up to the hype of his studio vocal performance. Political voting isnt the only reason why they flopped.
Impartial rate 🇮🇹 : Estonia's entry Kelatuud maa is just of another galaxy compared to all songs in contest, fantastic song performed by a fantastic young singer . Behind that ( my opinion, plz dont shoot me ) the refined sound of a delightful song made in France. Then a group with Malta , Italy, Norway .
***** I don't, we've won 5 times compared to 24 countries who have never won and 12 countries how have won once. We don't really deserve to have ANOTHER win unless we send an amazing sound which actually stands out (for good) among the other entries that year. Sweden has won so 2 times since 2000 because not only they are probably to be honest better song writers then us now in general but they still but in the huge effort from Melodifestivalen an deserve to win. Sorry I went on a bit but I don't think many in the UK actually knows what it takes to win and how much better we do then an awful lot better than many countries in the contest even today (think of countries which hardly get into the final like Israel who only got through with a unique and fun song and PORTUGAL who have entered 48 times and their best result it 6TH!!) Feel sorry for them
Natasha Brooker Well done, finally someone is getting it! I get so frustrated listening to people in this country generalizing and consistently using the 'its all political' card as a means to excuse our years of failures in Eurovision in the 21st century. Did anyone read engelbert humberdincks comments in the papers the other day, basically describing the competition as a farce because of all the political voting, perhaps as a way of excusing Electro Velvet eaning a measly 5 points....seriously? Sorry Engel but I think your talking out of your own backside there, if that is the case then are you seriously suggesting that Sweden didnt deserve to win this year??......The UK have long lost the means of the winning formula, and if anyone at the BBC actually took the time to listen to Katrina & the Waves from 97, then they would understand what it takes to find a song that everyone in Europe will fall in love with. Lets make one thing clear, it's not all dead and buried for the United Kingdom in this competition, but in order to win a competition you have to compete. Not be silly and criticize and demonstrate that we don't take it seriously, if you don't take it seriously don't compete, if you do take it seriously, then send songs such as Jade's 'My time' in 2009, which also happened to muster up 9.5 million views that year and finish 5th.....It's not rocket science, we can do it! But we need to begin looking back to start moving forward!
Lee Flanagan Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it. You aren’t hated. Your string of failures has nothing to do with politics. You have everything it takes to be really good at this, but you fail to live up to our expectations. That’s why you are punished. You must get rid of the Wogan heritage. Although amusing, he has done more harm than you seem to realise. Make a fresh start, hire skilled people, and try to make things work again. It would be so nice to have you back as a serious contender.
Lee Flanagan He actually was respected, and I mean highly respected from Europe to Asia but only lost it when he became bushes dog. The biggest mistake he made.
I think England's song is very ordinary. For some reason I can't hear anything that makes the song shine. However, although Turkey's song is in Turkish, it offers a magnificent harmony with both the acoustics of the lyrics and the originality of the instruments.✨️

And Greece😍
@@serkancaner4636 he means 12 points
The 12 points from Iceland to Cyprus made me cry..❤️❤️❤️ this is Eurovision!!!!
TÜRKİYE EN GÜZELİYDİ BİRİNCİ OLMALIYDI.
😂😂 czcams.com/video/r9uzkhS1X20/video.html 😂😂
I love watching this
At 35:22 Terry was spot on, 12 points from Russia meant that the UK couldn't be caught whatever happened next
+Fatima502 the fat lady has just walking the door
God bless Sir Terry Wogan. R.I.P.
Corry Brokken gave points for Pays Bas .RIP Corry
RIP Sir Terry Wogan
Bless Katrina - it is a wonder she could sing the reprise at all after all that shouting and screaming with excitement. It was a time of great hope and a positiveness about the future which was really special.
LMAO when Terry was laughing at Cyprus giving Greece 12 points like always and then somebody boos and he goes "it's about time somebody booed that" xD
Greece and Cyprus are one people two nations and other countries exchange twelve points and vice versa like Moldova and Romania who are one people two nations since these two countries have Romanian as an official language and exchange twelve points and vice versa. Also Azerbaijan and Turkey are one people two nations and exchange twelve points and vice versa.
To be fair to Terry, he did admit on separate TV shows discussing Eurovision that Greece and Cyprus were the only two countries who knew what each other were singing about and given all the block voting which dogged the contest in the years that lay ahead, those days of Greece and Cyprus voting for each other now seem so innocent.
This year is the one of the strongest contest in eurovision history. Every song has a quality

I was impressed with how the presenter (whose name escapes me) was able to say "good evening" in every language. That would've taken me a few years of practice.
Carrie Crowley
@@JeSuisRene Thank you :)
Thank your
4:07 "Hi Mom and Daddy" 😂
And six years later we outdid ourselves with an astonishing 0 points and not a single note in tune
Kazanan şarkı da o kadar fark atacak kadar iyi değilmiş.
Türkiye fena değildi. 1. veya 2. olabilirdi.
Yine de müthiş performans Şebnem Paker.Çok güzeldi.
Aynen öyle Dinle daha güzel olmasına rağmen Birleşik Krallık 12leri hep götürmüş haksızlık olmuş
@@AvatariaEmreYapm unfair 😂😂😂😂
@@AvatariaEmreYapm Dinle çok güzel birinci olmaya bile layıkdı ama UK da haketti ama kusura bakmayın
Türkiye'nin katıldığı en iyi performanstı, Sertaba sorsak bile Şebnem der o kadar net.
Brilliant
huzur verici güzel bir şarkı.
1997 was an amazing year for Eurovision, to such an extent that the UK's victory, while deserved, was undeservedly one-sided. Ireland definitely shouldn't have come second, but what can you do. Carry Crowley was a great host, possibly the best Eurovision host Ireland ever had, and the production was nothing short of perfect.
rip sir Terry Wogan
OMG! This is the year that for the first time televoting was in use! Wow! (Germany, United Kingdom and Sweden I think) 😯
Who is watching this 2019? ☺️
Make the most of this cause we'll never win it again.
They used to say that about Germany, and they won again. Never say never. Just enter a great song and people will take notice.
@My_Fat_Octopus Unfortnatly the times caught up with them. Ballads is not hot in Eurovision anymore.
RYZE the downfall of the uk started after this song was won with politics and stuff then I believe something happened to do with the people getting sent in although I can’t remember off the top of my head
@@Euroviking86 It wouldn't matter if the UK put in the best song. It would get 40 points maximum. That's the reason why we don't put in great songs because the contest is politically motivated.
@@Quirino26 It's just a fact
The Irish jury nearly always picked the best 10 songs!
Kazanan şarkı da çok çok iyiymiş be 👏👏👏👍 keşke Türkiye 1.olsaydı İngiltere 2.olsaydı.
Olması gereken oydu aslında ama kazanan şarkı büyük fark atmış 12 12 götürmüş her ülkeden. En azından Türkiye ile rekabet etseydi az farkla 2. olsaydı
@@AvatariaEmreYapm o yıllar Azerbaycan olsaydı belki
I knew there was a reason I liked 1997! Fantastic year, and this fealty did put the 🍒 on the cake! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Let the light shine all over.
This was the best ever Eurovision show, kudos to host Carrie Crowley...
I miss Terry Wogan 😢😢😢😢😢
Was ein Schatz des Internets gibt mir fast Tränen in den Augen einfach weil es schon so lange her ist ich habe damals noch nicht einmal gelebt!
War bestimmt ne schöne Zeit!
R.I.P Terry.
Back then the only chance for Greece to be in the lead is for Cyprus to be voting first
SimsMoyal what’s changed lol
@@atomicelk2307 Semi-Finals
I think United Kingdom won’t ever send better song than in 1997.
Omg I’d completely forgotten Ronan was a host! Holy shit, he’s been around that long?!?
I love Spain thank you :-))
United kingdom deserved the win what a amazing song
On entend beaucoup mieux la trompette lors de la reprise de la chanson, et la partition est absolument épique, on l'entend bien au troisième couplet, et au dernier refrain, superbe, je lui aurais donné 12 points juste pour la trompette !
Bien sûr la partition violons est magnifique aussi.
love terry's commentary and grahams
We used to be at the heart of Europe.
Anyone know why Kimberley Rew was not on stage as he was composer and one of the the main members of the band?
I don't mind Graham Norton doing the Eurovision , but I will always miss Terry Wogan doing this. The way he took the piss out of voting and the songs were just brilliant.
Me watching after coming second this year 2022 🥰
@ 7:03 2 things that little did terry know at the time that 1 was the 1st douze point of many for UK in 1997 and 2nd that 1st 12 points give UK the lead they never lost
Katrina and the Waves becoming the second North American Eurovision winners, nine years after Celine Dion (Canada), who won for Switzerland.
Katrina, American 🇺🇲. The Waves, British🇬🇧
Turkish song was amazing, but some country gave zero point for them, but they were still 3th.
God i miss wogan
antony john Perhaps you should get better sights for your rifle.
+David Keenan whelp
Try watching this at twice normal speed.
I always 'pick up speed' with these results. Cause time is like thunder, ah-ah.
Or as girls of Mrs.Einstein (the Netherlands) sing, "Niemand heeft nog tijd!"
How would you watch it fast speed
@@Lozza144
Depends on what device that you're watching CZcams. You tell me which, and I'll tell you how.
Please bring Eurovision back to how it was in 1997!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was when it was half decent and songs were listenable unlike the music of today ...miss the 90's.
This was a few years before we got ourselves involved with the US in the Iraq war, and become hated even more by Europe as America's little brother
APRICEPRODUCTION completely agree I've said this many times
Except in america, we spend way too much on military, and love to show it. Too bad we're bad at everything else, including electing good leaders
many people call him puppy blair , he did big mistake .. and they didnt bring peace to Iraq, just nearly 5.000.000 poor civilians lost their life ...
In 1991 there was no televoting and there were 22 countries competing and in 2019 it was 41 countries including Australia. It's the new countries entering and the introduction of televoting made Eurovision a ridiculous farce. Ireland struggles to get past the semi finals every year. This year UK came last in the final and Ireland came last in the semi final.
@@phillipwilloughby5013 Yeah. But you forgot to note that Lesley's voice wasnt that great in her performance and the staging was distracting. Also Newman didnt live up to the hype of his studio vocal performance. Political voting isnt the only reason why they flopped.
So happy UK won 🎉
UK's best song. How can you go wrong with Katrina and the Waves?!
Puppet on a String and Save Your Kisses for Me were both better UK entries and both won.
@@kevinlongman007 From a musical POV, I thought this was better.
@@dominewimbury2039 Which was the bigger hit? I think that i'm not the only one who though it was the better song.
This was the best UK winning song for me. 🇬🇧
And history was made.
41:21 you can see that Jonathan King celebrating with the audience weaving the UK Flags
Impartial rate 🇮🇹 : Estonia's entry Kelatuud maa is just of another galaxy compared to all songs in contest, fantastic song performed by a fantastic young singer . Behind that ( my opinion, plz dont shoot me ) the refined sound of a delightful song made in France. Then a group with Malta , Italy, Norway .
Ah, back in the days before Blair made us the most hated country in Europe.
Lee Flanagan Blair might have started it but the government has managed to keep it up
***** I don't, we've won 5 times compared to 24 countries who have never won and 12 countries how have won once. We don't really deserve to have ANOTHER win unless we send an amazing sound which actually stands out (for good) among the other entries that year. Sweden has won so 2 times since 2000 because not only they are probably to be honest better song writers then us now in general but they still but in the huge effort from Melodifestivalen an deserve to win.
Sorry I went on a bit but I don't think many in the UK actually knows what it takes to win and how much better we do then an awful lot better than many countries in the contest even today (think of countries which hardly get into the final like Israel who only got through with a unique and fun song and PORTUGAL who have entered 48 times and their best result it 6TH!!) Feel sorry for them
Natasha Brooker Well done, finally someone is getting it! I get so frustrated listening to people in this country generalizing and consistently using the 'its all political' card as a means to excuse our years of failures in Eurovision in the 21st century. Did anyone read engelbert humberdincks comments in the papers the other day, basically describing the competition as a farce because of all the political voting, perhaps as a way of excusing Electro Velvet eaning a measly 5 points....seriously? Sorry Engel but I think your talking out of your own backside there, if that is the case then are you seriously suggesting that Sweden didnt deserve to win this year??......The UK have long lost the means of the winning formula, and if anyone at the BBC actually took the time to listen to Katrina & the Waves from 97, then they would understand what it takes to find a song that everyone in Europe will fall in love with. Lets make one thing clear, it's not all dead and buried for the United Kingdom in this competition, but in order to win a competition you have to compete. Not be silly and criticize and demonstrate that we don't take it seriously, if you don't take it seriously don't compete, if you do take it seriously, then send songs such as Jade's 'My time' in 2009, which also happened to muster up 9.5 million views that year and finish 5th.....It's not rocket science, we can do it! But we need to begin looking back to start moving forward!
Lee Flanagan Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it. You aren’t hated. Your string of failures has nothing to do with politics. You have everything it takes to be really good at this, but you fail to live up to our expectations. That’s why you are punished. You must get rid of the Wogan heritage. Although amusing, he has done more harm than you seem to realise. Make a fresh start, hire skilled people, and try to make things work again. It would be so nice to have you back as a serious contender.
Lee Flanagan He actually was respected, and I mean highly respected from Europe to Asia but only lost it when he became bushes dog. The biggest mistake he made.
it has all changed
miss terry
You know you're a music nerd if after you hear "this is Vienna calling" you mentally sing "oh-whoa-oh"
I think England's song is very ordinary. For some reason I can't hear anything that makes the song shine. However, although Turkey's song is in Turkish, it offers a magnificent harmony with both the acoustics of the lyrics and the originality of the instruments.✨️
Sir Terry Wogan RIP..
45:48 leather trousers are it. I mean were they though?
This (35:29) was Terry at his best, getting his facts spot on

Nice songs
