THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES

Of the

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

(1956 - 2019)  

From its inaugural year, the Eurovision Song Contest has had more than its fair share of controversial moments. This is a special look back on 30 significant upsets in chronological order.

1986

Eurovision’s Youngest Winner.

By 1986, Belgium had participated in every Eurovision Song Contest and. for 30 years, had gone home empty-handed. No other nation had waited as long. All of the other countries that participated in the inaugural ESC had claimed at least one victory.

The 1986 edition of the Contest was held in Bergen, Norway. Belgium was represented by a young performer named Sandra Kim. She claimed to be aged 15 and the lyrics of her song made mention of it. Her upbeat entry “J’Aime La Vie” attracted 176 points. Kim finished the night ahead of the runner-up Swiss entry (on 140 points). Belgium had finally won at Eurovision!

Following her victory, Kim revealed her actual age: 13. Today, she would be relegated to Junior Eurovision. The current rules require all participants to be at least 16 years of age. This change ensures that Kim will remain in the record books as Eurovision’s youngest winner.

When the teen confessed how old she really was, Swiss TV attempted to have her song disqualified. This would have given the win to Switzerland’s “Pas Pour Moi” which was performed by Daniella Simons. The petition failed, but Belgium has yet to repeat its success in the Contest.

THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES

Of the

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

(1956 - 2019)  

From its inaugural year, the Eurovision Song Contest has had more than its fair share of controversial moments. This is a special look back on 30 significant upsets in chronological order.

1979

Turkey Bows To Pressure.

In 1978, the Israeli entry “A-Ba-Ni-Bi” won the Eurovision Song Contest. The victory meant that Israel would host the ERSC in the following year. Jerusalem was selected as the venue, the first location outside of Europe to host Eurovision.

Of the 20 countries that competed in 1978, all returned to participate in Israel; with one exception. Turkey had initially agreed to send an entry, but after pressure from other Arab nations, decided to withdraw.

“Hallelujah”, the Israeli entry, emerged victorious in 1979, giving Israel its second consecutive win at Eurovision. The victors had the option of hosting the Contest again in 1980, but Israeli TV declined.

With The Hague in The Netherlands selected as the venue, Turkey returned to the ESC in 1980. It is worth noting that when Jerusalem hosted Eurovision again in 1999 (following a third victory the previous year), Turkey did participate. The most recent time a Turkish entry competed in the ESC was in 2012, therefore Turkey did not participate in Tel Aviv in 2019 following yet another Israeli win the year before.

THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES

Of the

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

(1956 - 2019)  

From its inaugural year, the Eurovision Song Contest has had more than its fair share of controversial moments. This is a special look back on 30 significant upsets in chronological order.

1978

And The Winner Is…?

For the first time, the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast in Dubai. Other Arab and African nations also televised the Contest. As some of these nations do not recognize the state of Israel, they did not show the Israeli entry “A-Ba-Ni-Bi”, performed by Izhar Cohen & Alpha Beta. Instead, viewers in these countries were given an extra commercial break!

As the night was concluding, it became clear that the Israeli entry was going to win. This posed a serious problem for those African and Middle Eastern broadcasters. The entry they had cut out of the broadcast was going to be declared the victor and would therefore perform the song again.

Rather than presenting a win for Israel, many of these countries terminated the broadcast abruptly. Jordanian viewers were shown a bunch of flowers instead of the result due to ‘technical difficulties’. They were later told that Belgium (the runner-up) had won!
