The third part of the full voting of the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest, with Austrian commentary and in this part the votes from: - Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal - Yugoslavia, Finland, Norway
What I like about this voting system is that no one can go home with nul points and every country has a very easy chance of scoring over 50 pts, however the major problems were with just 2 jurors per nation it wasn't hard to abuse the format and on purposely score a song 1 if your country is one of the favorites to win.
wow amazing scoreboard for 1971!
Freaky that under this scoring system, the winners all had the near-same amount of points. In '71 and '72 the total was 128, in '73 it was 129!
In 72 it was actually 129

Monaco got 1+1 from Spain.
Luxembourg only gave out 1’s and 2’s, making their votes virtually irrelevant.
@@derekjtaylor the highest they gave was 2+3
very nice and competent austrian commentator
3:52 the first 12 points in Eurovision history?
No way - the 12 10 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 was first used in 1975
The only victory for Monaco
And France claimed it as theirs
Karina diva y señora por siempre.
Neighbour countries didn’t want to vote politcally so gave each other the lowest notes (except Spain)
España estuvo tan serca
casi lo logra
y elos aqui 30 años después
no esta ni serquita de la victoria
Karina fuiste la mejor hija, los demás fueron un mojón
