This is my favourite Eurovision Song Contest I think, the songs were so nice.... France is my favourite song and Marie Myriam "L'oiseau et l'enfant the best song 1🇫🇷🇫🇷🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
This is the best set of songs in any year. At least half of the songs could win in the year before of after. France, Switzerland, Greece, UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Finland, Monaco, Israel, Belgium, Spain are all amazing.
My top 18... 18 Sweden 17 Luxemburg 16 Belgium 15 Portugal 14 Austria 13 Norway 12 Italy 11 Germany 10 Switzerland 9 United kingdom 8 Spain 7 Finland 6 Israel 5 Monaco 4 Greece 3 Ireland 2 Netherlands 1 FRANCE One of the best 70 with great songs. For me, France was muche better and it's victory well deserbed.
Extraordinary to think that to this day this remains the last time France won the contest. I miss the days when Eurovision was like this - no pyrotechnics, dazzling light shows or crazy set design, just simply performed songs done with sincerity.

I'm very conflicted about 1977. My country won and that victory is famous because it's our last one yet but it wasn't my winner. I preferred "Rock bottom" for the United Kingdom. I'm still very happy we won though. By the way, please vote for us because 4th place is great but winning is better and a 48 years long period (as of next year) feels horribly everlasting. I want to see my country win the ESC like it won the JESC !

Our West-German and Dutch-Belgian in Englisch ... The responsible director for German entries, Otto Grünfeld (1974 green suit of Bert Berger and 1975 green dress of dancing Joy Fleming with also terrible hairdressing) from a local broadcast-station (hr) had the plan that all entries should be in the national languages - but our German group refused to sing in a different language than English. One female singer of the Belgian Group, Stella Maassen, performed in Dutch for NL in 1970, 1982 for B in French (Si tu aimes ma musique) and in 1986 she was a background singer of the winning Belgian Sandra Kim (J'aime, j'aime la vie).
However all performers had good choreographies (with small opportunities standing in front of micros) this year was not a start for great careers - exept Anita Scorgan (later a great Scandinavian composer) and perhaps Stella.
