Pretty great year, very close between the top 2
Awful voting system, that Luxembourg jury gave very low points to every song, did they think they would win?

1 :de: Katja Ebstein - Diese welt :12:(Great song, classic)
2 :es: Karina - En un mundo nuevo :12: (Another spanish masterpiece. Hilarious of the spanish jury to give minimum points to Monaco, shows the weakness of the voting-system)
3 :mc: Severine - Un banc, un arbre, un rue :10:+ (Great winner)
4 :nl: Saskia & Serge - Tijd :10:
5 :ch: Peter, Sue and Marc - Les illusions de nos vingt ans :8:+
6 :no: Hanne Krogh - Lykken er :8: ( Realy like this one. Probably a bit too simple and cute for the juries, but it deserved better. She came back in 1985 and won)
7 :pt: Tonicha - Menina do alto da serra :8:
8 :se: Family Four - Vita vidder :7:
9 :fr: Serge Lama - Un jardin sur la terre :7:
10 :fi: Markku Aro & Koivistolaiset - Tie uuteen päivään :7:

Very good year with many entries i like, though the voting system is still terirble.

1 :lu: Vicky Leandros - Apres toi :12: (One of the best ballads in Eurovision, amazing!)
2 :uk: The New Seekers - Beg, steal or borrow :10:+
3 :ie: Sandie Jones - Ceol An Ghra :10: (Ireland should try to sing in Irish in 2023, they have nothing to lose.)
4 :ch: Véronique Müller - C'est la chanson de mon amour :10:
5 :yu: Tereza Kesovija - Muzika i ti :8:+

15 :mc: Anne-Marie Godart & Peter MacLane - Comme on s'aime :4:
16 :no: Grethe Kausland & Benny Borg - Småting :4: (I often forget this song exist. Trying same style as 71 but doing it bad instead of very good, somehow this got a better result than Lykken er. Both singers are fairly famous in Norway, but this song is not.)
17 :be: Serge & Christine Ghisoland - A la folie ou pas du tout :2:
18 :pt: Carlos Mendes - A festa da vida :2:

Amazing year, and i agree with the entries in the top 4, which are all masterpieces.
Excitng voting- sequence since it is so close between the top 3. Still a bad system though.
The language-rule removed, will name the original language-versions i those cases where i have heard them, and if i prefer the original version the text will be bold and Yellow

1 :es: Mocedades - Eres Tu :12: (A masterpiece)
2 :lu: Anne-Marie David - Tu te reconnaîtras :12: (Great ballad, and an amazing winner, even though Eres tu was even better)
3 :il: Ilanit - Ey sham :12: (Amazing debut)
4 :uk: Cliff Richard - Power to all our friends :12: (Classic)
5 :yu: Zdravko Čolić - Gori vatra :10:
6 :se: Nova & The Dolls - You're Summer (Sommar'n som aldrig säger nej) :10:(This even beat ABBA in melodifestivalen)
7 :pt: Fernando Tordo - Tourada :8:+
8 :fi: Marion Rung - Tom Tom Tom :8:
9 :de: Gitte Haenning - Junger tag :8:
10 :it: Massimo Ranieri - Chi sarà con te :8:
11 :no: Bendik Singers - It's Just a game (Å, for et spill) :7: (Interesting entry, got an unusal good result for Norway at the time. Not my personal favourite, but i enjoy it when i hear it. Not a very well known entry in and not often played in Norway despite of the decent result. The top 3 is more famous)
12 :ch: Patrick Juvet - Je vais me marier, Marie :7:
13 :ie: Maxi - Do i dream :6:
14 :mc: Marie - Un train qui part :6:
15 :be: Nicole & Hugo - Baby, Baby :6:
16 :fr: Martine Clémenceau - Sans toi :3:

Iconic year off course, but a downgrade from 1973
Glad they dropped that voting system from 1971 to 1973

1 :it: Gigliola Cinquetti - Si :12: (Beautyful ballad, love this one a lot. Why don`t anyone send ballads like this anymore)
2 :es: Peret - Canta y sé feliz :12: (Another amazing entry from Spain, this is how to do this genre)
3 :se: ABBA - Waterloo :10:(The most famous winner, i off course realy like it. It loses two points because i start to compare it to other ABBA-songs which are much better than this one)
4 :gr: Marinella - Ligo krasi, ligo thalassa kai t' agori mou :8: (Very good debut)
5 :ch: Piera Martell - Mein Ruf nach dir :8:
6 :lu: Ireen Sheer - Bye Bye I Love You :8:
7 :pt: Paulo de Carvalho - E depois do adeus :7: (Might be a kind score, but you have to like a song that was use to start a peaceful democratic revolution, i do also like it musicaly)
8 :il: Kaveret - Natati La Khayay :6:
9 :mc: Romuald - Celui qui reste celui qui s'en va :5:
10 :uk: Olivia Newton-John - Long live love :5:
11 :be: Jacques Hustin - Fleur de liberté :5:
12 :nl: Mouth & MacNeal - I see a star :4:
13 :yu: Korni Grupa - Generacija '42 :4:
14 :fi: Carita - Keep me warm (Åla mene pois) :3:
15 :de: Cindy & Bert - Die Ssommermelodie :2:
16 :no: Anne-Karine Strøm feat Bendik Singers – The first day of love (Hvor er du?) :1: (This english version is absolutely awful, and the song was already very bad in Norwegian, nothing that great in the national final, but all the other songs were better than this. Last place in a year Sweden won, doesn`t get much worse than that)
17 :ie: Tina Reynolds - Cross my heart :1:- (That Ireland managed to send a worse enty than Norway is almost impressive)

I actually liked some aspects of the 1971 voting system, it was a nice idea for every song to get some points. It does pale in comparison to the more iconic 1975 one though I admit.

Yes, i like that every song gets points, Norway would probably get very few in 71 and 72 if it was the 57 system or the 75 system. The problem is that strategic voting becomes even more obivous. For example Spain giving Monaco 2 points combined in 71 obviously because they were second and wanted to win, and some countries almost only giving 1 and 2 obviously to try to get a better result for their own country.

Very uneven year, both many reats, but also quite a few bad songs
Very close between the top 3, and then very close between 4th to 6th

6 :ie: The Swarbriggs - That's what friends are for :10:
7 :nl: Teach-In - Ding-a-dong :8:+ (Very good winner, but the lyrics is a bit too silly for me, not my favourite, but i like it a lot, very catchy)

9 :ch: Simone Drexel - Mikado :6:+
10 :lu: Geraldine - Toi :6:
11 :mc: Sophie - Une chanson c'est une lettre :6: (Their song is just ok, but good that the Monaco jury gave Turkey some points so they avoided nul points)
12 :es: Sergio & Estíbaliz - Tú volverás :5:
13 :se: Lasse Berghagen and the Dolls - Jennie, Jennie Must have downgraded to avoid paying for hosting another year, they did actualy withdraw in 1976 because of much opposition in Sweden to the commercial aspect of Eurovision) :5:

15 :il: Shlomo Artzi - At Va'Ani :4:

17 :be: Ann Christy - Gelukkig zijn :3:
18 :no: Ellen Nikolaysen - Touch my life (with summer) (Det skulle ha vært sommer nå) :2:(Terrible english version again, it was boring anyway, but it is awful in English. Nothing that good in the national final either, people weren`t happy with MGP at the time)
19 :mt: Renato - Singing This Song :0: (An unprovoked attack on my ears!)

Sorry but even though the hosting was OK and we had a great winner the year before, I actually agree with that High Life episode on Rock Bottom, I never understood how we even managed to come second with that!

Time to put the Norwegian glasses on. Boring year, and the best song got 0 points!

1 :no: Jahn Teigen - Mil etter mil :12: (What a legend! Jahn teigen might be Norway`s most beloved singer of all time, he at least has the most amount of songs that people sing along to. This song is probably the most iconic norwegian eurovision song together with 1985 and 2009. I love Jahn Teigen and this song. It didn`t work for an international audience points wise, probably because the performance might have seemed a bit odd at the time, but i lovethe outfit, the glasses, the split jump, the stage-presence, and i love his vocals a lot. This song charted in Norway 20 weeks, and it is one of the best-selling eurovision-songs of all time in Norway. He even has a statue in his hometown)

My top 3 is amazing, but somehow two of them did awful, other than those 3 this year is mostly underwhelming.

1(Where is the Sámi flag?) :no: Sverre Kjelsberg & Mattis Hætta - Sámiid ædnan :12:(I love joik, and i like everything about this entry. Juries didn`t get joik in 2019, and not in 1980. Disgrace! juries should apreciate lesser known types of music. This is also a political entry about the indigenous Sámi people of Norway fight for rights at the time which i also love.)
2 :nl: Maggie MacNeal - Amsterdam :12: (Great song, and since Norway and Morocco didn`t have a chance this shoul have won)
3 :ma: Samira Bensaïd - Bitaqat Hub :12: (Great entry, love this type of music. Hope they return one day, maybe if the situation in Western Sahara is solved in a peaceful way ,even though ocupation has not stopped Israel and Russia(Crimea in 2014, they were fortunately kicked out when they invaded all of Ukraine this year) earlier.)
4 :de: Katja Ebstein - Theater :8:+
5 :ie: Johnny Logan - What's Another Year :7:+ ( This is a good song, but not that interesting in my opinion, just an OK winner)

I have a little soft spot for this song, but i do wonder if anyyone who voted for this song in the national final thought it was going to do well?. It is a song it is easy to forget about, which is never a good thing in eurovision, it is charming, but it is not memorable at all. Nothing that great in the national-final, but many better than this one.)

A great winner, but still to many meh or bad entries, and not enough great ones
1 :de: Nicole - Ein bißchen Frieden :12: (A bit obvious of me to choose this, but it is a great song, and it deserved to win in a landslide. A classic. First time i agreed with the winner since 1977)

This year has some good songs, and too many bad songs.

1 :se: Carola - Främling :12: (Couldn`t give the win to anything else. Was a huge hit in the whole of Scandinavia, and for very good reason.)
2 :no: Jahn Teigen & Anita Skorgan - Do re mi :12: (First eurovision song i heard, love it. Learnt musical notes on piano from this song as well)

4 :yu: Vlado & Isolda - Ciao amore :8:+
5 :se: Herreys - Diggi-loo diggi-ley :8: (Very catchy and very swedish, but altso very cheesy. I have a big soft spot for this, but it is not exactly Bach, and it was not the best song of eurovision 1984)
6 :dk: Hot Eyes - Det' lige det :8:-
7 :tr: Beş Yıl Önce On Yıl Sonra - Halay :7:
8 :no: Dollie de Luxe - Lenge leve livet :7: (I like this a lot, but it is not better than a 7. an that is because the difference in quality is noticable when you compare it to other better songs of the same genre)

1 :fi: Sonja Lumme - Eläköön elämä :10:+ (Great 80s popsong)
2 :no: Bobbysocks - La Det Swinge :10:(Great and deserved winner, and is off course still played a lot in Norway. Not my personal favourite though, but i still like it very much)
