Nicole A Little Bit Of Peace 1982 Eurovision Winner

[@um773]

She went from singing German to singing English to then singing French to singing Dutch to then singing English again to finally finishing the song singing in German again. INCREDIBLE! A truly iconic moment in Eurovision history.

[@selina5598]

And confused her musicians. 17 years old and ad-libbed in 4 languages. Legend

[@glynnevans1851]

@@selina5598 Hi , Nicole was Momentous and I knew she would win because she sang it so well and with credibility although I was rooting for Bardo who soon slipped down the voting. A legend as you say .Also liked the 1972 winning entry. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🕊🕊🕊

[@IrishLad1964]

Thanks for this. From 1977 to 1999 the Eurovision rules were that entries had to be in one of the official languages of that country. The reprise is wonderful, I remember it well. I live in Kiev since 2006 as a result of visiting the 2005 final. Ireland still tops with 7 wins but they're so long ago. Riverdance still going though.

[@Marikioable]

This is my favourite Eurovision song ever. I watched Eurovision religiously when I was a young boy. Every year my family would make bets (Do the dishes for a week, etc) When I watched her...I knew she'd win. My sisters and brothers had to clean my room for a month. Thanks, Nicole.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Back in those days the audiences were usually polite and stuffy. The regular applause during the various language changes and the cheers at the end were unheard of at the time and she was a hugely popular winner on the night.

[@mark68z]

There are no words for this but I'll try. Simply outstanding. A 3 minutes song about peace with those amazing changes of language says everything about how mankind could live together. And she learned all the languages and was ready to do this without even knowing if she would win. And then, live in front of millions she absolutely nails it. That can only come from the heart. For me, one of the most powerful moments on TV. Right up there with the coverage of Nelson Mandela walking from jail to freedom. Bravo.

[@G6JPG]

@@kirstybristow2323 Not to belittle her achievement, but she learnt _the words to the song_ in those languages, which is not the same as learning the languages.

Wonderful. My late grandpa often used to play this on his piano... I was 5 years old when I took a tape recorder to my grandparents house, and a part of this song he played. I digitalised it and still have it. Probably the only existing sound record of my late granddad playing piano (and he was a great pianist/church organist...) But he played this song. He Loved Nicole and this song. He'd seen it on TV, listened and played it perfectly by ear.

A song about love, peace, and unity, that came out during the midst of the Cold War from a West Germany split from its other half by the war; sung in four different languages that topped the charts of every European country it was released in. This has to be a symbol of something.

I was really disappointed that the UK entry (by Bardo) didn't win but remember watching this moment and my mum suddenly exclaiming "She's singing in English!" and then watching open mouthed as she performed in French, Dutch and German.

Gearing up for the Eurovision Song Contest marathon across the BBC tonight. It can't be the same, but I can live with a night of repeats of glory days, enjoying the vibe. I’m with Graham Norton; “It’s almost impossible, I think, to explain Eurovision to someone who doesn’t know what it is or hasn’t seen it before because you’ve got to know how it got to where it is today.....”. I'm a firm BREXIT supporter and I stand by my beliefs that we're stronger as an independent UK, but I am kinda sad that the rest of Europe will never let us win the competition again because of way our vote unfolded. But I will always love Eurovision regardless. This will always remain one of the finest Eurovision moments ever.

Wie eine Blume am Winter beginnt so wie ein Feuer im eisigen Wind, wie eine Puppe, die keiner mehr mag, fühl ich mich am manchem Tag.

Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Sonne für diese Erde, auf der wir wohnen. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Freude, ein bisschen Wärme, das wünsch' ich mir. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Träumen und dass die Menschen nicht so oft weinen. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Liebe, dass ich die Hoffnung nie mehr verlier . Ich weiss, meine Lieder, die ändern nich viel. Ich bin nur ein Mädchen, das sagt, was es fühlt. Allein bin ich hilflos, ein Vogel im Wind, der spürt, dass der Storm beginnt. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Sonne für diese Erde, auf der wir wohnen. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Freude, ein bisschen Wärme, das wünsch ich mir. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Träumen und dass die Menchen nicht so oft weinen. Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Liebe, dass ich die Hoffnung nie mehr verlier . Sing mit mir ein kleines Lied, dass die Welt im Frieden lebt.
