Back then, the subject matter of rape was fairly taboo and the juries were impressed at France's effort for awareness. Nowadays the times are different.
I feel like Karel Gott's song gets overlooked by a lot of people, I honestly found the melody and the singing incredible! Truly first for me personally, the golden voice of Prague 🇦🇹🇨🇿
Odd Borre's "Stress" is still very relevant today. Everybody running around, trying to relax but cannot due to the fast pace of modern-day life. The orchestra is brilliant, capturing the frenzy with their instruments.
The notorious Guardando il solo was thought to get another nul point, but saved by Yugoslavia. In the previous contest in Vienna, Geraldine's "Quelle coueur vas tu briser?" received no points due to the strange ending of the song. The Swiss refused to send back up singers way back then. This was aslo in the case of Portugal in Brighton.

Here are my personal votes/rankings, i'am from the Netherlands 12 points: United Kingdom - Cliff Richard - Congratulations 10 points: Yugoslavia - Luci Capurso & Hamo Hajdarhodzic - Jedan dan 8 points: Spain - Massiel - La la la 7 points: Switzerland - Gianni Mascolo - Guardando il sole 6 points: Portugal - Carlos Mendes - Verão 5 points: Ireland - Pat McGuigan - Chance of a lifetime 4 points: Sweden - Claes Göran Hederström - Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mig 3 points: Monaco - Line & Willy - A chacun sa chanson 2 points: Germany - Wencke Myhre - Ein hoch der liebe 1 point : France - Isabelle Aubret - La source
the only year that the two "funny" entries actually were the best. the winner being the obvious one. But Norway is clearly the underdog here with "Stress" a tribute to valium . so enjoyable!
...so nice to watch... ...but one thing is true: soon or later, seeing this voting system, the tie should occur... ... and it happens that next year, 1969... ...and Eurovision had no way to face it!!! ...(but they could have had asked to the jury in the room at the Madrid's Royal Theatre, to vote and choose the 1969 final winner!!!)... 💖💖💖🎶🎵🎤🎵🎶💖💖💖
I feel like I've heard the Finnish song before even though I know full well that I can't have. It's just the ultimate in bland, throw-away sixties pop.
Unpopular opinion? My Top 5 (6) from 1 to 5: Germany Switzerland Austria (Karel Gott 🤩, the golden voice of Prague) Finland tied with the UK Yugoslavia Didn’t like Spain at all 🤨
one of the weakest winners ever, poor melody, non sensical lyrics, and probably cheating between Franco and Tito... sad coz Uk was iconic and France, Sweden, Yugoslavia and Belgium have incredible songs! Also love many other entries like Portugal, Netherlands, Finland and even Germany, while overrated, is fun. Norway is unique, for better and worse lol! Just not a fan of Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Monaco (and Spain...)
France 1968's entry is really underrated nowadays
la source is my close second of 1968

I do love these recaps you are doing! Thank you for these !
One of the iconic years for sure! My top 5:

La La La became such a hit in the Spanish speaking world. It’s a simple song about appreciating things that you get freely and joyfully. I love it!
I do love these recaps
I Hope you will make for all the years of the esc

Eurovision 1968 - the year when the absolute worst song came first and two of the best came last. Make this make sense. 😂😂
i personally like Spain's entry but Finland's entry was honestly better :)
You do not have ears if you say la la la is bad, is simple but not bad

Ronnie was robbed! That was an excellent song, but it suffered the first up curse, and how!
I didn't know Austin Powers represented the UK on Eurovision 1968 😅
P.S. one of the worst winners ever☹️
