Interesting Facts about Eurovision Song Contest
The 1988 Eurovision Song contest included a rock video and two large screens where scores were projected as well as scenes of performers getting ready to go on stage. Oh, and there was somehting else unique about the contest....the stage took up most of the exhibition hall! In order to give the illusion of a larger space, the room was kept very dark and the television cameras avoided the use of wide-angle lenses.
The song, "Macedomienne" was performed by Belgian, Philippe Lafontaine, in the 1990 Eurovision contest. He refused to release the song on CD because it was a love song written just for his wife. It finished in twelfth place. Although he did finally release it to help raise funds for a humanitarian effort in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Every day until May 8 I will be posting a music video of each one of the semi-finalists of the Eurovision Song Contest. On May 9, I will post the last three (my top favorites). Enjoy the videos!
