Evelin Samuel & Camille - Diamond Of Night (Eurovision 1999)

Finished 6th with 90 points.

[@Schnipp08]

Fun fact: This is the 23rd and last song of the ESC 1999 which means that this is officially the last Eurovision song of the 1990's decade.

[@aleksanderpagels288]

Which also means it's the last ESC song of the 20th century..

@@aleksanderpagels288 the twentieth century goes from 1901 to 2000

[@AlirioAguero2]

@@aleksanderpagels288 The last song of the 20th century is technically Austria's ''All To You'' from 2000. But ''Diamond of Night'' is the last song of the 1900s. It's slightly a different thing, only being off by one year.

[@RpMTarTar]

And also the last one from the Millennium!

[@turklerinortaktarihi9182]

A great way to end that millenium, it really ended so beautifully. Meanwhile the first song of next Millenium (2000): OoOoOoh bE hApPy OoOoOh

[@abdurrahmankurt6790]

very underrated song 12 points from Turkey

[@unknownmapping9931]

This song is a masterpiece. They made a mistake singing in English, in Estonian this could have been a winner.

[@PrincessLockette]

Agreed the estonian version is so much better!

[@vikingsson24]

I just love this song. Evelin is amazing..

[@bluesystemfan1]

The best for last :) What a beautiful performance!

[@davidbresson8716]

the last eurovision entry from the 20th Century and what a song!

[@Botafogoplayground]

True!

[@AlirioAguero2]

The last song from the 20th Century is Austria's ''All To You'', but this is a last song of the 1900s. Centuries are technically counted from the first year till the round one of the next. So, 20th Century was 1901-2000. But still, this is a technicality. And yes, this is a good song.

[@starry2006]

It's a pleasant song, and definitely the best of this particular contest.

[@Botafogoplayground]

A pure ESC gem. That's what Eurovision Song Contest is good for.

[@abrahansaezsanchez9191]

Una de las mejores canciones de 1999,gran armonía musica,buena voz,y escelente composición,bravo por Estonia¡

[@Jankuize]

super laulja on ikka Evelin!

[@starry2006]

First year without live orchestra, I'm sure it would have been even better completely live.

[@morbidsearch]

and in Estonian

[@Botafogoplayground]

@@morbidsearch so much the better

[@christiaantinga]

The best one of that evening in 1999, the last song ♥

[@artistsingerwriterproducer8288]

HELLO 2024 regards

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

I don't know why my mom loves this song so much lmao she says her voice is "angelic"

[@xwiirastusx]

+George Austin Tay Maybe because it's a rip-off. Evelin Samuel is a poor man's Enya.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

Rainer Vilumaa oh my mom loves Enya so that's why

[@xwiirastusx]

+George Austin Tay Enya herself is a poor man's Loreena Mc Kennit. Her voice is beyond angelic. Have you heared The Lady of Shalot?

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

Rainer Vilumaa I'll have to be honest, I've never heard of this lady!

[@xwiirastusx]

+George Austin Tay I bet your mother will lose her mind over it.

[@dramaticScar]

Took me 7 years of listening to this song to understand that "Diamond of Night" is a metaphore for "Moon" I-

[@kihutaja9873]

I've always assumed it means a star.

[@kristensankmann7479]

diamond of day

[@IrbinconB]

I remember Randajad.

[@michaelferns88]

Sounds very similar to Norways 1996 entry 'I evighet' I think...

[@dramaticScar]

YES YES I THINK THE SAME ...

[@o-b-1]

Similar style of music but completely different song

[@moon_fake]

Well the second half of 90s were full of New Age songs indeed

[@AronSPIN3019]

DIAMOND OF NIGHT ;]

[@o-b-1]

OK :D

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Exact

[@mp9535]

IN 1999 SLOVENIA and ESTONIA WERE THE BEST!!!!

[@panhrgerardlempilainen4570]

Они выглядят в национальном стиле эпоса Калевала. И мелодия в таком же стиле.

[@beaumont1871]

Aastaid edasi aga ilus laul. Andres

1:06-1:10 the cam is shaking

[@linuslimpan0]

Really , Sherlock?

[@xwiirastusx]

Enya called. She wants her music back.

[@veganinwonderland5602]

Rainer Vilumaa kuule, lõpeta ära! see laul pole yldse Enya muusika moodi. Enyal on rohkem sellised laulud mis on sügavamad ja kurvemad kuidagi. See laul on väga ilus ja Evelin esitas seda väga hästi. Kas sa äkki oskad paremini esitada (palju inglikumalt) et siin niimoodi kritiseerid ? Mulle pole kunagi pähe tulnud et see kõlaks nagu Enya muusikaga kuidagi samamoodi. 90de viimastel aastatel tehti palju sarnaseid muusikaid.

[@urmo345]

great melody but it lacked this "something", lack of power and deepness, somewhat plain and bland. Style is similar to Maggie Reilly songs, yet all her (Maggie) songs has this "something" in it. PS: But melody is good, worth to remix it something more powerful
