A list of puns related to "Eurovision Song Contest 1973"
That's right, it is. It's so full of life, and joy, and acceptance, and energy, and music, and all of the things that... honestly, just feel right, and needed right now. It's silly, and it's stupid but it's also heartfelt, and sincere. The music is catchy (ja ja, ding dong!) yet also sentimental and impactful (Husavik). The performances are so much fun, Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams have natural chemistry, and Pierce Brosnan is one handsome ass older gentleman. Is it perfect as a movie? I don't know, what does that even mean? But for the movie this is trying to be I think it's a slam dunk. If you haven't seen this or have been put off because you think it's just another Will Ferrell movie, give it a shot because yes, it IS that but it's so much more, and Rachel McAdams is phenomenal in it. Shout out to the "Lion Of Love" Dan Stevens for a brilliant performance as well, even though he doesn't sing, he's still fantastic. And the girl from Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Also Excellent!
What a feel good film. I've watched it a few times now, and it just keeps getting better. We need this movie. Bring on a sequel.
I'm actually a long time fan of the ESC so seeing this made me extremely excited!
Now I'm curious what your thoughts are about it (as I don't expect too many ESC fans in this sub).

Everyone already got the news that Eskimo Callboy wants to represent Germany in Eurovision 2022, but meanwhile the Czech metalcore outfit Skywalker actually qualified for the national finals! Wouldn't it be sick to see them both (or one of them at the very least)?

This may be the best kept secret Iβve ever had.
So, as many die hard Eurovision fans know, the full television broadcast of the 1964 contest is lost (presumably forever) and there have only been short glimpses of video footage from the contest.
I have spent months contacting each countryβs broadcasting companies that aired the contest back in 1964 and asked if they had any footage remaining in their archives. Most of the companies responded with no luck, however a few months ago I was able to purchase a copy of a 3 minute long video of the actual TV broadcast from Finland.
The footage contains Gigliola Cinquetti being presented as the winner, the host introducing the award presenter, a shot of the Grand Prix medal, a shot of the audience, and about a minute and a half of Gigliola singing.
The issue I have is that after contacting Danmark Radio, I am not able to upload the footage to YouTube due to rights issues. This is something I really want the ESC community to see, but I do not know how this can be done.

Hey guys, this is a repost of a post I made back in December. I recorded it and uploaded it to Youtube as a podcast. If you'd like to listen to it, here it is on Youtube:

If you'd prefer to read, here's the text of what's in the video:
It's no secret that France was one of the most successful countries in the early days of the contest. They won five times in the contest's first 22 years, the most of any country at that time. But since their last win in 1977, France has entered a 45 year drought, the second longest of any country in the contest (only Spain, who last won in 1969, has gone longer). Just last year, however, France put up their best finish in years, taking second place with Barbara Pravi's "Voila". Whatever happened to France? Why weren't they able to maintain their Eurovision supremacy? Was 1980 really the turning point that some people think it is? And does France have a win in their future? I don't have the answers to all these questions, but to attempt to give us an idea, we need to look at France's history in the contest.
Eurovision began in 1956, a time when the French language held more sway across Europe and the world than English did. English was only just beginning to establish itself as the new "Lingua Franca". Eurovision also began as a very strict and serious contest. It was an event where people would dress up in suits, sit in rows of seats, and listen to an orchestra. It was seen as a place for refined music. Not surprisingly, the "French Ballad" dominated the early contests. France themselves won the contest three times in six years with the songs "Dors mon amour", "Tom Pilibi", and "Un premier amour", all of which could be described as ballads. Even when France themselves did not win, often another French-speaking country won with a ballad, such as Lys Assia with "Refrain" for Switzerland in 1956 or Jean-Claude Pascal with "Nous les amoureux" for Luxembourg in 1961. Even when another country, such as Netherlands or Italy, won in their own language, it was done in the style of the French ballad.
Most people mark the end of the French ballad's supremacy to be 1965. That was the year that Luxembourg wo

I just watched the movie for the first time, and am honestly shocked. This movie was an absolute masterpiece and is much better than ratings show. I will say that you can not go into it thinking of it as a comedy, because it is not a comedy. It is a movie with comedic tones. If you watch the move with this mindset, it plays as a charming, heartwarming, and truly masterful work of art.
Good evening Europe! Welcome to the Grand Final of the Junior Eurovision Fantasy Song Contest 2021, held here in Berlin! We wish everyone the best of luck, and I ask the winner to please PM me after they have seen this.
Good luck!
Viel GlΓΌck!
Eurovision Song Contest is amazing for me and helps me so well. It can really calm me down and when I feel at my lowest, watching ESC is the only thing I can manage doing. Yesterday evening I was feeling really unwell and agitated, but then I put on the Grand Final 2015 and it soothed me. I don't know what it is about ESC, it's pure magic.
r/AmericanSongContest exists for all of your ASC questions, discussions, and info!
