I kind of needed your review to help me write mine! I was impressed when I heard it, but you clarified why I was impressed. Great work five years ago Grooty.
This is the first time I have heard the studio cut. Yes, the arrangement is kind of glorious. Great fun to see your analysis now that I have reviewed it.
Julio Iglesias was actually a star youth player for Real Madrid, he only became a singer after he got injured. He's a bit like Gordon Ramsay who was in the Rangers academy ,until he too got injured, and turned too cooking with great success.

UK was the moral winner ❤️😃 The most modern song - and the biggest hit internationally - by far. Very Everly brothers-ish. I have never seen the appeal of Luxembourg. From What I Know about 60s pop it Does not sound that relevant. Plods along for me without making an impression
Here is a fun fact about a member of Korni grupa (Yugoslavia) the guy playing piano: Kornelije Kovac was a very successful composer he wrote many songs for many famous artists in Yugoslavia, and even his two daughters Alexandra and Kristina became composers and singers, they were back vocals for Baby Dol in Rome in 1991, and Kristina wrote a song for Nina 'Caroban" 2011.

Honestly, as someone who is still in the process of getting to know this decade better, your analyses of every song in every video gives me a foot to stand on and know which ones I should seek out for, and obviously, I do agree with you on many of the songs I do know already. Great work and I know you'll keep it up!
1975 is a nice year, for what it's worth. There's a solid mix of songs. My favorite of these is "Era"--it's so groovy and cool, and stands out amongst the crowd.
This is why I fell in love with ESC in the first place, the live instruments. It brings a different vibe, sad it’s gone nowadays. You can really feel the soul in the earlier performances compared to nowadays. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into what could’ve been this was amazing
Here are my personal votes/rankings, i'am from the Netherlands (Rotterdam city) 12 points: Italy - Wess & Dori Ghezzi - Era 10 points: Luxembourg - Geraldine - Toi 8 points: France - Nicole Rieu - Et bonjour à toi l'artiste 7 points: United Kingdom - The Shadows - Let me be the one 6 points: Israël - Shlomo Artzi - At Va' Ani 5 points: Belgium - Ann Christy - Gelukkig zijn 4 points: Yugoslavia - Pepel in kri - Dan ljubezni 3 points: Finland - Pihasoittajat - Old man fiddle 2 points: Norway - Ellen Nikolyasen - Touch my life (with summer) 1 point : Spain - Sergio & Estibaliz - Tú Volverás
Very anonymous year for me. Quite significantly weaker than the year before. But there are some gems here too like Norway, Turkey, Germany, Sweden, and Italy. Iirc I didn't even vote for Switzerland 😅
Lovely to watch your opinions of this quite strong edition of the ESC. There are several songs from 1975 that's easy to remember and the musical diversity were great. For me, the turkish entry was such a pleasant surprise to listen to during the watchalong and I think I still will rank it as my number one for now. Totally agree with your points for Sweden. To me, this is Lasse's best song, together with "Silvertråd". Thanks for a great Channel 🎉
I appreciated your breakdowns of Norway and Switzerland. Very interesting. (Grooty's word of the week is clearly "Lush" 😉) - My top 3 are NL, Germany and Italy - Putting NL at 13th is courting controversy, with me at least. Still, you do you! - Why do I rate Ding-a-Dong? - Because it talks of something fundamental. With the inevitable prospect of our own mortality we look to things to give our existance meaning. The most potent distraction is the pursuit of love. When that fails we can look to the wonder of nature, or the consolation of money to comfort us. The lyrics bring all this together and the solace within the musical movements and the warm harmonies create a depth under the surface froth of the lead vocal and the performance. I find this to be one of the most touching and resonant songs about the human condition ever to grace Eurovision. It makes me sad, but it also proffers a sense of resolution.
I really try my hardest to vary my vocabulary but I guess it's to be expected that the same words appear in a few comments considering every video has over 3000 words written in them! I'm somewhat disappointed that you didn't note my clear bias for songs performed by women this year since this topic was brought up a few videos back ;) Thank you for sharing your thoughts as always!
@@groot1421 I only bring "lush" up because it is something that plagues me when editing my reviews. I find myself over-using an adjective in a set of pieces and then try to find alternatives and often lose my flow! - Your redressing of the female balance is duly noted.👍 However, one swallow doesn't make a summer.
Well, this has to be the ranking I disagree the most with you, but again, 1975 is quite a strong year and I really love some of the songs. I understood your point of view of your bottom, even if Spanish being that low hurted me a little. My top 5 is: 5. Portugal 4. Spain 3. Germany 2. Israel 1. Italy
