So lovely to see the responses to RogerMilla and his musings on here......See us oldies may not be "Down with the kids" so much anymore but there are so many fabulous memories of 70's 80's and 90's pre selections and finals which are itching to be told.
Keep em coming Rog!
Oh and I adore the disqualified Swiss entry of 92 too!
Thanks for that and I am enjoying your playlist. Its all about hearing as much new music as possible.
As for Soleil Soleil, it has such a classic Eurovision feel to it although probably slightly more 1980's than 1992!
Nice to see that list again, some very good songs there. I'm another who much preferred Corinna's disqualified song to the one she ended up going to the contest with.
As well as the songs that were changed or disqualified, there are also some that tied for first place in their respective National Finals, but lost out on the chance of representing their country due to either jury or public voting taking precedence.....I came across a couple this week whilst hunting out a pick for kvn's poll.
Yes this happened in the Irish final in 1991, Kim Jackson tied with this song from Jane Hennessy. A tie break jury decided to send "Could it be that I'm falling in love" to Italy. I think the right result, listen to the unfortunate runner up here. Great to see the orchestra.
Jeepers thank you everyone- I thought this would finish last because of the woeful sound quality on both vids.
I finally got Sarit a 12
Thanks for great hosting everyone.
There was two songs I found after submissions had closed that I wanted to send but hadn't even realised they hadn't received a 12 (they're both oldies!)

It was an inspired choice.. I loved it..
