Great song with a fantastic rhythm and beat. Far better than his entry the year before. Too low placed

[@klausneumeyer3611]

Dieses Led finde ich auch besser als die" Rose von Santa Monika"

[@GalaxyNokiaGames]

one of the backing singers is Gary Lux who previously appeared in 3 editions of Eurovision in the 1980s

[@Nalinc33]

Christian Kolonovits is brilliant musician...I still remember his collaboration with Scorpions....That was amazing.

[@rgrrolfgruberrezensionen3851]

Great song with a great musical arrangements, a luxury chorus and a wonderful performer Tony Wegas. Without hear the other songs of this year, Maria Magdalena go direct to my Top 5. A delicious! 10 Points!

[@Manne18]

First song with playback if Im not wrong...?

[@JeSuisRene]

Man in the mirror No, this was was played 100% orchestra, even the saxophone on stage is played live (if you can see, there is a little microphone for the saxophone there).

[@JeSuisRene]

Man in the mirror I think the Turkish entry in 1993 was the one that was 100% playback.

[@karenelizabeth9720]

Another of my personal ESC favourites - sung with panache!

[@Nalinc33]

You may watch. Scorpions Acoustica !.recorded in portugal 2001.Mr Christian Kolonovitis arranged nearly all of scorpions heavy metal songs again to perform with acoustic instruments...and he plays YAMAHA piano and HAMMOND XB1 pretty amazing !...again,,,Love of my life song originally done by Queen(Freddy Mercury) That is my best version of that song.

[@Gera1713]

Sounds like Tom Jones

[@cronopio93_]

[@lenaolson4893]

[@NullusBrahms]

Tony Wegas forever !

[@danrosenberg3993]

Why isn't it on Spotify 😭

[@jongustafson6121]

Well. I think this is with picture to of Eurovision song contest 1993, and spotify is only sound. I dont know if it is so, but i think......😮

[@elinc81]

Hmm to bad

[@TheGsteiner]

Could have been a winner!... A very underrated song from a brilliant musician

[@keithw9290]

The best song in the contest that year. Unfortunately the worst year for ridiculously long camera shots spoiling the viewing experience!

[@Birnenpflaume1]

Und was auch wichtig ist - damals wurde wenigsten noch in der Landessprache gesungen - cooler als immer alles in englisch ( auch wenns die internationale Sprache ist aber wo bleibt die Invidualität ?? )

[@revloninlove7716]

Canción espectacular, brillante, genial, traspasa con mucho lo sublime. Tema increíble, maravilloso y extra dimensional, es una puta gozada! Tony Wegas hizo una de las mejores actuaciones de toda su vida, wow! Su decimo cuarta posición con 32 puntos tendría que ser un delito penal. La mejor representación de Austria desde 1981. Doy 12 Puntos, como no!

Watching the audience here is so bizarre compared to modern ESC. When the song starts to get really energetic, the people are sitting still like statues.

[@escLIVEmusic1]

Eurovision used be more of a serious concert where men wearing suits and woman in evening dresses, sitting down like in a concert hall or opera house. And if they liked the song they simply gave it a good applause afterwards:) Today it's more like a football match inside the Eurovision venues. I find that more bizarre. But I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned ,;)

[@Boban1611]

I like it old fashioned :)

[@aleksanderpagels288]

Honestly with every passing contests where the crowds gets so hyper I treasure these days when people were capable of just sitting down and enjoying the music, loud cheers from the crowd doesn't necesarily make me vibe better with a song.

[@Birnenpflaume1]

12 Points vom Germany ; ))

[@morbidsearch]

12 points from Ireland!

[@mariomirceski661]

1993- Maria Magdalena (Austria) 1999- Marija Magdalena (Croatia) HMMMMMMMMM......

[@Tenortalker]

I understand your point , but when you read the lyrics the only thing the songs have in common is their title. Tony Wegas is asking Maria Magdalena to tell him sweet lies until judgement day - his Maria Magdalena is contrasted as a devil woman , a lover and a virgin. It really has nothing to do with the biblical character beyond the name. Doris Dragovic's song is like the cry of a woman who has lived a bad life ' Night was leading me around the whole world' but has now found redemption in the one she loves. I don't find the music similar at all either. You would be right to say that there have been times when songs in the Eurovision have the same theme and are very similar , but I don't think that is what happened here. The basic concept of the two songs is different.

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

both 10/10 songs. my second places of their respective years (norway is my 1993 winner and estonia is my 1999 winner)

[@Luigia_official]

0:23 is anybody else wondering why one of the background-singers held a Saxophone without using it? I think it wasn't used.

[@Carsseur]

He uses the saxophone at 2:41

[@Luigia_official]

@@Carsseur thx!

[@lenaolson4893]

My favorite that year!

[@jutjubow]

Cheesy and sorta generic. It does not help either that I have listened to 5 other 'Maria Magdalena' songs much stronger than this one.

[@simmisaa7905]
