Eurovision Song Contest 1989 - My Top 22 [HD w/ Subbed Commentary]

[@Botafogoplayground]

Nacida para amar remains one of our best entries ever. A really good song in a powerful voice.

[@naewsqrg]

Nathalie Paque from France and Gili from Israel are the two youngest performers ever on Eurovision. Nathalie was 11 years and 11 months old, Gili was 12.

Good video! I'm happy to see that our tops are quite similar... Although I consider your country's entry to see underrated here, since I really like it :)

[@hundoria6744]

uuuh, ur comment is old 1 year. congrants

[@verarodrigo99]

Nasako Marin Thanks :D

[@recklesspjrn]

A great year to finish the 80's. Israel is my fave in studio version (shame that Gili got sick) and I also love Portugal, Spain, Austria and Germany. For some reason, I was never too keen on Denmark. The Danish songs in the eighties and early 90's sound rather similar to me.

[@ronentene5607]

U right

[@muhammedfurkansahin114]

Turkey's one of the girls(second from left) is daughter of the conductor and composer, Timur Selçuk, the other girl is Arzu Ece who will participate in 1995 again, with "Sev"

[@jezt42]

Completely with you about Denmark in the no 1 slot. There’s an English version on KZbin “I’m Chasing Butterflies” which has an extra key change! Love the videos, by the way! 👍

[@elnocturno1162]

MY 1989 TOP 10, from Spain: 1- AUSTRIA (wonderful, deserved to win) 2- SPAIN (great song and strong voice) 3- ITALY (very good and strong theme) 4- SWEDEN 5- GREECE 6- NETHERLANDS 7- BELGIUM 8- FINLAND 9- UNITED KINGDOM 10- TURKEY I also really liked NORWAY, France, Porrtugal, Israel, Denmark...but this year was too much good.

[@linasunflower6584]

Denmark and Austria was the best in 1989!!!

[@Botafogoplayground]

Avrei voluto is much better than the entry from Luxemburg. For me, is one of the best Italian entries. Much better than Gente di mare, for instance.

[@lindakristinekjlibraten777]

And the Finnish conductor Ossi Runne as well. May they rest in peace.

[@esc9726]

@@lindakristinekjlibraten777 So sad...They were on the same stage and they passed away on same day.

[@lindakristinekjlibraten777]

@@esc9726 yes. Out from what I read about Timur Celcuk he did also cunduct the Turkish entry in 1975. Which means that they met twice in Eurovision.

[@GabyMA1986]

This year is really good! I loved your top 2! Denmark is the best!

[@irondasgr]

The Greek jury decided to give 12 points to Austria that night (and not to Cyprus) and this was a wise choice because the music of the song could be listened to on the radio even years after the contest. Austria would have made a much more deserved winner that night than Yougo.

How Can En Dag be so low... it's Literlally the ONLY swedish song I can stand... i love the fact that I can think freely about what he says After en Dag (One day)...like En Dag i will love again...

[@Gajol1000]

So many good songs in 1989! I really like them all (except from the UK) but my personal favourites are Spain, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Germany, Finland, Cyprus, Belgium, Turkey, Netherla….uups…l already mentioned more or less all of them. 😊

[@Γιάννης-λ6η]

Finland, France, Austria, Portugal and Denmark my top 5

[@swanskogjsson151]

I liked the swiss entry. Old fashioned, but a nice tune in a cool language :)

[@cgfischer]

I am not the biggest fan of the year and when people always say, that Yugoslavia didn't deserve to win, I want to know who else should have won. I can't stand the lyrics from Thomas' song, Mr. Horn-Bernges did so much better at the German song, just like Mr. Bohlen as well. My only faves are Germany, Finland and - yes - Yugoslavia. I also can understand why Iceland didn't get any points, I don't like the song as well.

Interesting ranking thanks. This year's winner was definitely not the best nor was it the worst song of the year either. And it ranks very low on my list of Eurovision winners.

[@felipe93edition]

Concordo plenamente que Luxemburgo e a Dinamarca deveriam estar nas primeiras colocações daquele ano. São as canções que mais me agradaram.

[@sannev8407]

Quite a weak year. Why does everyone says it's a good year? C'mon! The top 2 was not that good.. Yeah Yugoslavia is upbeat and catchy but it didn't deserve the win at all. To me, the best song was Denmark, it should have won. Catchy, great music, voice and performers. Charisma also! Great. Other good entries are Italy, Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Austria and Finland

[@holydiver73]

Denmark this year was the best song to never win in the history of the entire competition. Had it been entered 10 or 15 years before, it would have won for sure.

[@ukaszmatoga3918]

Entry from Denmark is similar to entry from Germany from 1968 which is also Your winner.

[@grigorisbabis-k7u]

yugoslavia won in 89, because probably was decided, as Sweden in 84 that is more stupid far from Rock me baby in 89

@@emmaginativeeurovision decided from the commission i mean (fake,stolen win) , and the winner of 84 (Sweden) is worse than this in 89 (yugo..)

[@grigorisbabis-k7u]

now make sense?

@@grigorisbabis-k7u ... No. The only thing I gather from your comment is that you think Sweden -84 is worse than Yugoslavia this year (-89), which is a matter of taste and I disagree with you.

Denmark 1989 has been my ultimate eurovision song ever:). I was 12 then and even thought henrik (the conductor) was quite a hot looking man:)

[@qbert8695]

Well, this is probably the worst contest in whole esc history. Not only there is the worst song in Eurovision history (that fortunately ended last without a single point). This year contains the least amount of songs that I like: 2. That's Portugal and Greece.

[@irondasgr]

You mean Iceland by worst ESC song ever? Try to listen to the song again reading the lyrics in translation... This might change your mind.

[@porfiriopascual3885]

España, Italia y reino unido

Not gonna doubt 1989 is one of my least contest ever, it looks like none of them deserved to win especially Yugoslavia, I really agreed some people said Denmark should won

IsakVideos | My favourite song ever is no way near Eurovision/Mello ;) It's called "Gabriellas Sång". My favourite ESC-song is probably Denmark 1964.
