Eurovision 1999 Recap

[@Leon54david]

Croatia the real winnnnnnner!

[@eurovisiontszai9125]

Croatia was the best, while the others are too weak, and if only Sweden representative sang that song in Swedish version again(like what she.did in melodifestivalen 1999), it would be just better. But in overall, Croatia was my winner!

[@heppolo]

I think Lithuania was the best.

[@kinawaiio]

i really liked iceland.

[@kinawaiio]

and also spain, because of the song. not the dress......

[@jedojedac8483]

Yes Croatia was the best, but the stole our points.

[@nigbakugba]

Doris Dragović for Croatia was a goddess on stage. My winner that year ❤

[@Melaniechircop]

best year of Eurovision for me!!

[@kostajovanovic3711]

That's unexpected

[@christiaantinga]

me too ♥

[@heppolo]

Croatia suffered because of being in the vein of "Diva" which won a year prior

[@irondasgr]

Croatia finished 4th that night, but some time later was announced that 1/3 of their votes are subtracted as a penalty, coz at the playback a man's voice can easily be heared, yet there is no man on stage singing! I don't know what happened with that later on, but it's obvious that they broke the rules.

[@VodNeferi]

Croatia should have won 1999

[@heppolo]

I prefer Lithuania. It was pure folk sass.

[@stijnmonsieur3352]

Am I the only one who believes Cyprus song was great? Was flabbergasted she only received 2 points!

[@johny7even]

Yeah it was. She was even a favorite before the contest, I seriously dont understand the result

[@DitzyNizzy2009]

Probably a weak vocal performance with Iceland on one side and Sweden on the other.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

12 - Croatia 10 - Iceland 8 - Sweden 7 - The Netherlands 6 - Malta 5 - Cyprus 4 - Bosnia & Herzegovina 3 - Slovenia 2 - Estonia 1 - Turkey

[@coenwulms]

A really good ESC-year in which the Netherlands should have won the contest! Marlayne is gorgeous and the song is really, really good too.

[@christiaantinga]

Estland's "Diamond of Night" was m'n favoriet, maar Marlayne was ook super

[@hananbesovic5714]

Croatia was robbed! Doris had an amazing performance!

[@christiaantinga]

OMG, 1999 was my absolute nr.1 edition of the ESC. I know every song and I still sing them. Like a story all songs passed us by. With "Strazdas" as a vocal warming up, through "Diamond of Night" as being the last song from the latest millennium. ♥

[@nocturne7371]

I like this edition too, but of the older editions nothing beats 1983 with 1987 as a close second.

[@billyriedel6449]

While I feel this was a weak year compared to all the other 90's contests, my favorites were Iceland, Croatia, Ireland, Slovenia, France, and Lithuania.

[@escfever3241]

Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Croatia, Germany, Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Belgium - are the ones that are memorable to me after listening to recap once. I guess they’re my top 10 :)

[@Gubbio42301]

Croatia is the best

[@LebaneseAtHeart]

My top 3: My winner 🥇🏆🥇🏆: Croatia 🇭🇷 My 2nd place 🥈: Turkey 🇹🇷 My 3rd place 🥉: Bosnia Herzegovina 🇧🇦

[@DOLIDAR]

My favorites were Estonia, Lithuania, Belgium, Croatia and Iceland. Mixed up feelings with Cyprus - I do like this song, but I'm not sure about vocals.

[@petarnikolic8170]

12 points Croatia 10 points Sweden 8 points Iceland 7 points United Kingdom 6 points Turkey 5 points Cyprus 4 points Germany 3 points Denmark 2 points Bosnia 1 point Ireland

Germany and France are my favourites. From The UK

[@Henry-qx8le]

More nice songs in 1999 than 1998!

[@Markstubation01]

The contest was at an all time low point in 1999

[@Henry-qx8le]

😢😢 1999

[@LucianaShadow]

Austria and Norway were my faves.

[@Schnipp08]

First Eurovision Song Contest with a LED wall in the background?

[@JeSuisRene]

probably though there was a very basic black and white version in 1988 in Dublin.

[@g7e7e7]

And you know what! The true winner is United Kingdom cause it is the only one song which is still palying on our radio ocasionally even at 2012. :D

[@SimsMoyal]

[@henrikasatryan3908]

Sweden Icelend and Croatia Are The Best songs That Year!🧡

[@henrikasatryan3908]

1-st Year Without Live Orcestra & this is bad thing!

[@Henry-qx8le]

1999 😢😢 My Worst year (Life)!

[@lydiariera4953]

Granted I was a baby but I remember making my mum and dad let me vote for Norway

[@antonioplasencia6701]

I think Iceland was the best song. Even today it could succed at the contest. And then there's Croatia and Bosnia, great both of them.

[@billyriedel6449]

My favorites were Lithuania, Iceland, Belgium, Ireland, Croatia, and France. I prefer the Slovenian version of her song and wish they sung that instead.

[@ufuksnmez98]

Are they arranged by running order?

[@lvtv2005]

Yes

[@LastDreamer7]

Netherlands is my # 1.

[@javiervelasco6934]

1999 fue el año de la muerte de Eurovisión por la desaparición de la orquesta en vivo y por la libertad de idioma (libertad, más bien, de cantar en inglés). Como dijo Johnny Logan, "se convirtió en una especie de karaoke barato". Una pena. No hay más que ver a la ganadora.

[@antonioplasencia6701]

Pues no hay más que ver el interés que despierta Eurovisión ahora y compararlo con aquella época, en la que confesar que lo veías era exponerte al bullying.

[@modernmoonlight7350]

Lithuania was so robbed wtf

[@EmreninDunyas1]

I am so surprised that Germany sent a Turkish band, but I'm proud to hear my language in another country's entry 😍🇹🇷🇩🇪

[@AvatariaEmreYapm]

I'm from Turkey. My points for 1999 Eurovision Song Contest's songs: 1 point - Slovenia 2 points - United Kingdom 3 points - Spain 4 points - Denmark 5 points - Portugal 6 points - Belgium 7 points - Sweden 8 points - Croatia 10 points - İceland 12 points - Germany

[@SILVYSPARK]

Oh my god Norway, what the fuck are ya doing?

[@satoriboy8000]

norway is worst one im from croatia

[@heppolo]

Norway had probably the most 90s entry in the ESC that year, the same production team that did a lot of boybands' songs

[@kzbxvz]

Lithunania numero uno from Sweden!

[@dragana3203]

I like Belgium.

[@youthful6098]

Lithuania, Croatia and Estonia are the best.

[@76misza]

1999 was a great year I liked all the songs apart from the Norwegian one

[@aladinbasic2945]

Croatia, Sweden, Estonia and Bosnia were very good. Iceland is a little bit boring. :(

[@johny7even]

By far one of the worst editions winner. Most songs were horrible. Croatia should have won by far. Germany, Bosnia and Lithuania had decent songs too. One of the worst winners in the history of esc

[@czechistan_zindabad]

Croatia

[@Ha11d0r99]

Iceland was the best

[@geminix365]

And Israel was like that song that won for Estonia

[@Carlos-cm8qu]

My Top 5 : 5. Belguim 4. Estonia 3. Lithuania 2. Cyprus 1. ¡¡¡ SWEDEN !!!!

[@satoriboy8000]

Croatia?

[@katrin.iceland.universe]

Sweden 12 points!!!

[@benrafter9172]

Norway and Bosnia were by far the worst. Any of the other songs could've won it! What a year!

[@randomeurovisionstuff2026]

Even my Portugal???? Really?

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

Well, at least Bosnia has gag lyrics based on French verb conjugation

[@sianaheart]

both are great btw

[@henrikasatryan3908]

Lithuanias Vocal 😂😂

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

1- Poland 2- Iceland 3- Bosnia & Herzegovina 4- United Kingdom 5- Portugal 6- Israel 7- France 8- Lithuania 10- Sweden 12- Estonia!

[@jimmaunoforss8237]

Awful

[@Laumzhirgas]

Lithuania stood out from them all and the only pure voice I hear, which came from nature itself. For those who listen to trashy pop songs like most of these, listen - the reason Lithuania sounds horrible to you is because the song is beyond your understanding. (How can people like CROATIA? Nothing against Croatian people but that song is disgusting)
