ESC before 2000 =  *-* The quality was so much better than today... especially in 1969, 1977, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1996 and 1997  My favourites would have to be  Un Jour Un Enfant (1969), Je Suis Un Vrai Garçon (1994) and  Ale Jestem (1997). There are loads more great ones out there too! Special mention to  Nocturne - the best winner of ESC to date.  Ale Jestem - my all time favourite. For now, anyway. I haven't gotten around to watching every edition  |

I was planning on making a thread like this, but I never got around to it. Thank you.
You know how a lot of people complain about how Eurovision has turned into a comedy show?
Well, I beg to differ...

I really have to disagree tbh, the quality was so much worse than today  There are really amazing songs in between and these are mostly way better than today's songs but like 90% of them are even worse than the worst ones of today's contests  I don't know how to describe it without sounding retroesque or démodé, but there is a special something in most old entries that appeal to me The orchestra, the overall genre and the overall spirit of the contest all have a part to play in these entries  I totally agree that some do sound horrible (  1989 for example lmao ) However, old entries just seem to naturally appeal to me more  1989 - that song makes me uncomfortable every time I listen to it. It wasn't as awful as 1987 though |
