Eurovision 1980: We need THREE Points | Super-cut with animated scoreboard

- An edited down version of the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest in The Hague with a scoreboard using today’s technology. Ever imagined what the voting sequences of the past would look like now? No? Ok, but this was a fun lockdown project anyway.
This edit will give a flavour of the evening (19th April) with Terry Wogan’s UK commentary. This wasn’t his first time at the TV commentator post for Eurovision, but the first year in an uninterrupted run that ended in 2008. I know he divides opinion amongst fans, but this is what the UK saw and heard so I’ve tried to be faithful to that.
In the edit there’ll be some of the intro, a flavour of each entry, and then the scoring sequence edited with a scoreboard built and designed using technology used since 2003 (when the scoreboard became reactive and reordered when points were awarded).
Luckily enough 1980 also marks the first time juries spokespeople were asked to give their points in ascending order. Prior to 1980, the results were given in order of performance, partly to help EBU scrutineers, and partly to help under-pressure scoreboard operators I expect!
INTERVAL ACT
The Dutch Rhythm Steel and Show Band. It sounded so good, I’ve included some with interviews of the entrants. In true Eurovision style, rudimentary German and French required.
BACKGROUND
This was the last time before 2020/1 that Dutch television organised the contest. 1979 had seen an oil price crash and belts were tightening (Turkey’s entry seems to reflect our love of the black stuff). 1979’s winner, the IBA in Israel, couldn’t get their funding extended to host another expensive show for a second consecutive year. NOS stepped in to host Eurovision 25. Israel’s no show meant that Morocco joined the fun as the first (and only) North African entrant.
From a design perspective, the Congresgebouw stage is large, with a geometric design behind that moved into different shapes for each performance. For this first attempt at the reorder board, I’ve kept it quite simple. My original idea was to imagine if Eurovision had a corporate brand back then - and apply some design rules. We’ll see how that goes. I’ve picked a clear font (Aktiv Grotesk), and used the same colours as the real scoreboard - which were probably picked for viewers who had black and white television still.
For me, the beauty of Eurovision was hearing other languages on UK television. Although the EBU official languages are French and English, I’ve put the board in Dutch even though the real scoreboard was in English. Why not learn something while you can? Graphics appeared in French in the show until 1989, and in other languages before 1980 (notably Spanish). I’ll see how this rule goes too!
IT’S THE LOGIC OF THE THING
Forcing a reordering scoreboard on the 1980 contest means that I’ve had to apply some rules that weren’t in effect at Eurovision until the late 80s. I believe a sing-off was required if there was a joint winner! Countries will be ranked by points, then how many 12s, 10s and 8s they were awarded. Knowing that any further logic isn’t required for these contests, the order is then determined by the song’s running order position.

28:19 The only set of points scored by Morocco in the Eurovision Song Contest.
27:04 The first-ever top marks for Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Greece being Armenia
Turkey being Azerbaijan
Spain received points from the first six voting countries and was third at that point, but then only got 2 more points from Portugal and finished 12th.
Very disappointing it would have been in my top 3. Spain scored from Southern Europe but got virtually nothing from Northern Europe, Central Europe or Scandinavia.
OMG did you know the official Eurovision youtube account uses your revamped scoreboard? I am so proud of you and cant wait for the 1964 voting!!!

Anna Vissi won the Greek national final in 1980 and the three persons accompanying her here were the band that won the 2nd place with a totally different song of theirs. After the selection the broadcaster had the idea to engage both the first two places, so Epikouri, the band, made the vocal crew of Vissi for both of them to sing the winner song on the ESC stage. A really nice idea for the time.
Thank you so much for all your projects! Undoubtedly you’re and artist! ❤️
I have only just found your scoreboard videos, and as a Eurovision fan for the last 40 years I absolutely adore them! My compliments for all your hard work.
Fascinating how Sweden and Spain were both off to such a strong start, 3rd and 4th a third in the contest, and then their votes dried up to see them finish 10th and 12th respectively, Spain only securing 2 more points after 6 countries voted for them in a row. It is also interesting how Ireland never lead until halfway in.
I came here after watching the eurovision again 1980 ... Your scoreboards are very good.
Was amazed how badly Luxembourg did in the voting. At one point they were second from last !
really loving this series of new scoreboard videos binging back so many memories
Absolutely wonderful presentation, thank you!
Dude, they used THIS scoreboard on the #EurovisionAgain for 1980!
Great job thereorderboard. Congratulations
Frank Naef got into a bit of a strop when the presenter misunderstood the Greek scoring didn't he?
He had to control her for she got so mixed up several times
His annoyance with the presenters was even more apparent in the 1991 contest!
Love Johnny Logan his song amazing winner and my favorite entry of 1980
Very nice idea. In these type of scoreboards though.. we are used to see the name of each country in English
12 Germany
10 Netherlands
8 Switzerland
7 Luxembourg
6 Italy
5 Greece
4 Luxembourg
3 Austria
2 Morocco
1 Turkey
P.S I'm from Ireland so can't vote for my country
It's shocking to see an Irish person voting for Greece as it was one to see the very same Irish jury giving 4 in this year. I don't think that Greece ever got more than 10 points totally the upcoming 25 years since then.
I hope you know that ESC used this scoreboard for the video of Eurovision Again 1980 😂
Can't really grumble with the winner, it was the only one to come close to the majesty of Luxembourg. UK 3rd by default simply for Sally-Anne Triplett.

Sorry for my english language.
Its very badly.
Have a nice day
The host used a different phone each round of votes. :)
28:20 Maroc 7 Points!
28:20 Morocco 7 Points!
❤🇲🇦
Italy Gave Morocco 7 and finnish!😃
The whole contest sounded low budgety... but the interval act sounded so fun.
There must have a lot of scuttling back and forth off camera to supply the different telephone prop for each jury!
I think I read somewhere that Netherlands only agreed to host it if they could cut the budget, as they had only just hosted in 1976.
@@KevinM913 yeah that’s on the wiki
@@KevinM913 Correct. If you noticed the opening footage in the original broadcast (which doesn't show in this video), much of it was recycled from the 1976 edition
So it's not a recent occurrence that Italian juries are shady. They been doing that since forever xD but I'm happy they gave Marocco a bunch of points :)
Johnny Logan. The King of Eurovision.
The 1980 ESC was the first one to have the points announced in numerical order from 1-8, then 10 and 12. 1979 and before they would say 6, then 2,12,1 etc just in a random order
It wasn’t random order up until 1979, it was performance order.
@@mrjdsworld80 ok point still stands that the 1980 ESC introduced them announcing the results chronologically from 1-8, then 10, then 12.
@@wessexfox5197 yes, 1980 moved to ascending order. But it definitely wasn’t random pre-1980.
@@mrjdsworld80 well regardless it was an inferior system, this system is with us 43 years on.
What a great and well deserved winner. Still a eurovision classic. Timeless.
No points from Denmark to Sweden and Norway. Amazing. Nor from Sweden to Denmark and Norway. And 0 points also from Norway to Sweden
Is there a reason why Marlous did almost the whole presentation in Dutch? Even during the voting, when she was in between juries saying who was next or who was leading, she spoke in Dutch. The man who did the interval interviews in the green room manifested his fluency in English and French here and in 76 so why did he not co-host the whole thing?
Also, I thought that UK and Switzerland got way more points than they deserved. Sweden deserved to get a lot more.
Anyway, my points for 1980 (and I cannot vote for my own country Ireland obviously):
1pt Austria
2pt Italy
3pt Greece
4pt Morocco
5pt Turkey
6pt Norway
7pt Portugal
8pt Netherlands
10 pt Sweden (amazing orchestral arrangement and a very close 2nd for me)
and finally
Germany 12 points
It’s interesting you say that - I’d say this was one of better UK entries of the 80s (my 5th) and I absolutely adore the Swiss entry (my 2nd behind Germany).
Edit: Actually, I’d say this was our (UK’s) best entry of the 80s behind 1983 and 1988. Possibly 1984 too.
She in an actress and played in my favourite children's program back than 'Herman van Veen en de zes'. I loved it and Marlous Fluitsma was my childhood hero. I was in love with her as an eight year old boy.
Gros tubes en France !!!!!!! Exceptionnel !!!
Qeustion, how do you know every name of the countries in dutch, (My geuss is that you used google translate)
Turkey ❤
17:24 what's Marouane Fellaini doing there?
LOL
what happened to 1971-1979 and 2003 to present pls.? thank you :)
2003 was the first year the contest used a reactive scoreboard to reflect the changes in points/positions between countries
Dat de presentatoren het festival ook gewoon in het Nederlands deden
Normally love your vids but this onw is unwatchable with the gaps between the votes and going on the board
I prefer Morocco🇲🇦 and other Arabian countries.
Morocco was the only arabian country to take part
GOOD JOB,
Just shame its with the toxic commentary of Terry Wogan
He should really should have kept his animosity toward other songs to himself
Naff songs sometimes win, decent songs sometimes come way down. The contest is not meant to be taken seriously. If it was it would be as boring as hell.
@@davidspear9790 i agree with you
Thats good that its from RTE because Terry wogan was so disrespectful towards the dutch entry
This was not RTE, this was with Terry Wogan from the BBC
@@columbannon9134 yea - that's why i said that's good it's from RTE - i can't stand it when the commentator is disrespecting other songs and countries
Was he? All he said is that he didn’t think it would win (regardless, he turned out to be right). I don’t see how that is being disrespectful, especially when considering the stuff he would say over the next 27 years!
@@JeSuisRene
He said much more than that
In french: what a shame! When the Netherlands got 12 points
One example
@@SimsMoyal He had just realised how silly it was to say 'douze points' and 'Pays Bas' when commentating for a British audience who might not understand, so he threw in a non-sequitur of a French phrase to make himself look pretentious, like Del Boy. If you can't speak French, it's over in a flash and the commentary carries on like normal; and if you can speak French, you clearly hear Terry searching for a French comment like 'Zut alors!' and failing miserably, making himself the butt of the joke
Johnny Logan is the great ever
Uk 🇬🇧 shud have won with gorgeous sally ann 😊
Entre las curiosidades del festival de 1980 que se celebró en la ciudad holandesa de den haag:
01- es la primera vez 1980 que se distribuye por orden de puntuación de abajo a arriba de 1 a 12 ( excepción de los 9 y 11 Puntos que nunca se ofrecieron ).
Hasta el año pasado ( 1979 )se otorgaba los puntos en función del orden de los países que participaban; nunca por orden numérico.
02- En este festival de 1980 por cada idioma que se dirigía o cambio de idioma en la que se dirigía a los jurados de los 19 países participantes ( de inglés a francés o viceversa )se utilizaba un aparato de teléfono o escucha diferente de distintas formas y colores ,me ha parecido contar hasta 14 aparatos.
Que barbaridad.
Parecía el típico teléfono de la cabina roja de Amsterdam , solo faltaba azafatas y un cambio de vestuario de la presentadora y del supervisor que por cierto en 1968 no intervino obligando a Yugoslavia a repetir 4 veces la puntuación por la manía persecutoria de la presentadora de turno.
Tampoco en esta edición de 1980 intervino el supervisor cuando la presentadora ordenó repetir al jurado de Turquía la puntuación otorgada a España cuando la comunicación se escuchó perfectamente.
Por cierto la presentadora no sabe de idiomas el interventor intervino más de 10 veces porque la presentadora no entendía la alocución de los jurados.
03- Es respetable y no cuestionable el tema de las banderas y sus opiniones.
Pero no sé si este canal que distribuye las imágenes y que amablemente ha facilitado una extensión explicación sobre la bandera de España; tendría el mismo celo con otros países.
Lo digo porque Austria tenía un escudo en su bandera hasta 1984; pero no sé qué pensar al respecto.
04- Si ya era raro extraño que países como Israel , o pequeños estados como Mónaco participen en el festival europeo de la canción .
No sé que decir con el tema de Marruecos que participó en el festival de la canción europea de ese año edición 1980 cuando dicho pais a pesar de su cercanía pertenece a otro continente.
Por esta regla de tres se podría invitar a Siria , Egipto , Argelia y también y ya puestos a los países africanos con vinculación colonial a países europeos me remito a los ejemplos de gran bretaña( Rodesia- Zimbabue) , Alemania , Italia , Francia , Portugal ( Angola ) y España ( guinea ecuatorial ).
05- Es la primera vez que el país ganador del año anterior no organiza el festival.
( no estoy seguro de este dato ).
Pero puedo llegar a entenderlo, extender a tres o cuatro idiomas la repetición de los puntos por parte de los presentadores por su incomprensión, incompetencia, irregularidad, sectarismo y desconocimiento en los idiomas de los presentadores del acto del festival de 1979 interrumpiendo en exceso la distribución de puntos de los jurados fue excesivo.
Eso sí los supervisores del ente europeo siguieron permitiendo en este formato las adulteraciones de turno en el que el orden de intervención de los jurados para otorgar puntos era el mismo que sus países cantaron.
Una adulteración que se permitió una y otra vez.
El orden de distribución de canciones y el orden de puntuación nunca nunca debía ser igual.
Había que proceder dos sorteos.
Curiosidad final ; la renuncia de Israel a organizar el festival de 1980 trajo consigo la participación de Marruecos..
Creo que nunca lo sabremos.
06- Quien era el tipo que silbaba en la playa el himno del festival ? le daría el título al guionista por gracioso.
07- Quien ha tenido la idea de poner una puesta de escena tan lamentable en una canción.?
Hablo de la canción número 17 , la de Spain , por un momento pensaba que las tres bocas de las voces devoraba los micrófonos como una serpiente se come la sirena de Copenhague.
Buen provecho.
LO MÁS IMPORTANTE ; EL GRAN NIVEL MOSTRADA POR IRLANDA.
GRAN CANCIÓN DE JOHNNY LOGAN, EL MEJOR TALENTO MOSTRADO EN EL LA FESTIVAL ( DE SIEMPRE Y PARA SIEMPRE ).
Telex from Belgium were way ahead of their time and unfortunately not appreciated by the deadly dull old fashioned juries. WTF is with that absolute crap from Switzerland coming 4th. And that cheesy rubbish from the UK 3rd!
That year, Yugoslavia did not participate due to the death of the communist dictator Tito.
Why are the votes different?
😳
A pleasant year with some great songs. My points are as follows
1p 🇬🇷 Greece
2p 🇸🇪 Sweden
3p 🇫🇷 France
4p 🇳🇴 Norway
5p 🇱🇺 Luxembourg
6p 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
7p 🇳🇱 Netherlands
8p 🇵🇹 Portugal
10p 🇨🇭 Switzerland
12p 🇩🇪 Germany
Note that I far prefer J. Logan’s 1987 entry to his 1980 entry.
Johnny is the King of Eurovision. Luxemburg and "papa pingouin" is ridiculous and deserves no more points than Belgium. Italy deserve second place.
🇲🇦 is the best
Yess my winner😎🇲🇦🇲🇦
@@esc_victor3963 taste-
my score would be 12 points for Germany, 10 points for Portugal, 8 points for Ireland, 7 points for Netherlands, 6 points for Italy, 5 points for the UK, 4 points Switzerland, 3 for greece, 2 for Denmark 1 for Finland
You got rlly lazy with the scoreboard design from 1980-1982
Remember, this was the first one they did - 1957-79 were done after 1980-2002 was complete. They didn't "get lazy" with this, they got more inventive after it.
12 p. to IRELAND! 10 p. to Germany. 8 p. to UK! My Top 3!
For me one of the weakest ESC years ever. Some songs did not have any lyrics to speak of, the first and last entry of Morocco among these, only topped by Norway in this respect. Some songs were off tune, like the Spanish entry. There were hardly any memorable entries, and the staging was very bland. Funny that Switzerland made cinema their theme, while Germany chose theatre and Belgium even topped these in originality by choosing Eurovision itself. Netherlands singing about Amsterdam was hardly original as well, I was surprised they started so strongly in the votes.
The Irish song deserved the win, but mainly because there was hardly any competition to speak of. In another year it would have just been another nice but forgettable male ballad. My highlight: The mobile phone appearing first time on stage. th-cam.com/video/GC9Gyuyun1s/w-d-xo.html
My god this host was so bad.
I think she's a bit intimidated by Frank Naef! I also think she has a favourite, she sounds like she's smiling when she announces Italy's points!
@@thereorderboard How do you make these awesome scoreboards? I sent you an email but didn't get a reply :/ I'm open for "business" if ever that would interest you.
Hi Frédéric, sorry I replied to the comment on the 1984 video...I'll send you an email too.
She was a bit nervous.But the most secure host in the 1980's was Desirée Nobush as the fact that she's only 18 on the night of the contest.
Didn’t like her either, very rude to certain countries when she misunderstood what points they were giving to other countries.
Hostess impatient person. Why the big phone ? Looks stupid
Never been a fan of Logan. For me, Netherlands & Turkey were the best. Italy was worst! how terrible. a man with moustache singing as awful song, just like Monaco 1979.
