Eurovision 1976 - Voting Part 1/3

[@joshukaunarak]

Wow, the points are updated immediately on this scoreboard! In other years, it generally took one to two seconds.

[@AlexHWalker]

Its a real buzz-kill to see the points awarded in performance order, especially considering the 12 points were awarded to the earlier performing songs.

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

Alex Walker yup, that wasn't changed until 1981

[@Euroviking86]

1980 actually.

[@JeSuisRene]

DanBdx68 It was probably to help the scoreboard programmer, I imagine.

[@Chris-ln6so]

Watch the 1981 results when they try to do it in ascending order…chaos 😂

[@gabrielmoreira758]

The presenter was Corry Brokken!

[@jackmc1995]

i think there is sonething going on between the UK and Switzerland?!?!?!

[@JamieJooESC]

@camarozdude And anounnced the Dutch votes in 1997. But what was coincidental is that both in 76 and 97, the UK won both contests! Just saying.

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

Omg, this video's been here for 9 years already!! 😵😱

Presenter had a very nice laugh:))))

Perhaps to you as someone from Sweden it is not ugly, but to other ears Swedish might sound very odd and strange and even ugly. I think every language has its charm and its own sound and there is no need in judging whether a language is ugly or not. For many people Dutch is a nice language. Perhaps Swedish sounds more like the chuckling of chickens for example....

[@Ruud22NL]

I did not say Swedish is ugly. I said perhaps for some it sounds ugly, as you said about Dutch. I think it is not necessary to comment on any language, cause to some might appeal very well. And guess how many foreigners study Dutch abroad then or in the Netherlands at universities? Have a nice day too, heja Sverige, jag alskar dag.

[@Ruud22NL]

and what about svenska?

[@briabba123]

My understanding is Sweden decided not to take part because of money problems if the winner came from they wouldn’t have the money to do another show there also there were public protests

[@EurovisionSweden]

Svenska aint ugly

[@EurovisionSweden]

haha sorry, but i met a dutch girl today, and she made dutch sound, not beautiful, but nice! It wasnt so nice here, but the girl made it so! Haha i dont know any dutch, but i would like to write sth back, haha

[@keithnaylor1981]

It’s embarrassing to look back on the worst ever UK entry Kisses for Me and that horrendous dance routine.

[@Keithbarber]

It's showing the voting, not the songs in this video
