1969 was indeed the best edition from the 50's and 60's. I'm proud we had the chance to host such a great edition
As I said before, "Troubadour" is one of my favourite winners ever and it's so over the rest of the winners.
has a very nice entry and
despite it's not a piece of art it's fun and charming. On the other hand
is pretty mediocre.
But I'd also like to point out some really lovely songs that didn't do so well unfortunately but deserved more than most of the winners:
"Primaballerina" -> I'm in love with this. One of my favourite ESC songs ever
"Desfolhada portuguesa" -> Robbed. One of the most genuine and authentic Portuguese entries and probably the biggest classic of this year 45 years later.
"Duo grosse lacrime bianche" -> Didn't like it so much the first time, but grew on me. The song is probably nothing special, but the artist as outstanding.
and
are not at the same level as the winners or all of the above, but also deserve a special mention.
