I was working for the French TV in these years and remember we had a new head of entertainment programs : Marie-France Brière She was a tough lady but full of talent and wanted to "change" everything in french contribution for this contest. The 80s were a disaster with viewers decline and no hits at all. Her choice was very courageaous and the song became a huge hit during summer '90.

Najboljša pesem vseh Eurosongov...😍

[@EldaMengisto]

Nice to see you back! Along with Bandido, White and Black Blues set up a new trend for the contest, in mixing traditional sounds with pop music. The latter also adds a bit of cultural commentary, discussing race relations in France, and it does so beautifully. (That said, why does it seem to be forgotten, especially considering what was sent the year after?)

[@debonidaniel]

This music even opened space for Caribbean rhythms such as lambada, calypso and zouk in Western Europe, being written and composed by the genius Serge Gainsbourg months before his death.

[@LaetitiaMeyo]

Joelle Ursull such a beautiful and talented lady.

[@akimbohr]

Maximum 12 points given to this song by 6 juries. Italy only by 2. The fatal blow to the French were zero points by direct rivals: ITA and UK

[@barbarah7089]

My favourite EU song ever!!! 💚

[@ric1991]

This song should have won the contest 1990 instead of Toto cotugno

[@tihosesar]

Agree!!!

[@o-b-1]

השיר של טוטו הה הרבה יותר טוב זה שיר נחמד אבל לא מנצח

[@ДмитрийЛебедик-л4у]

Mi scusi, io non sono d’accordo con voi. Questa canzone è bella, ma Toto Cutugno era migliore!

[@OhrMag]

Surely, she didn't represent white Europe, it's always political... 🙄

[@amina-pr8xt]

No

[@painpapadopoulos8120]

There is something haunting about this song, I like its beautifully minimalist instrumentation. France should have won the competition 🇬🇷

[@AtlasBlizzard]

If Spain couldn't win, then this definitely should've.

[@TheGoaBase]

Serge Gainsbourg!

[@tssm4e]

Never fails to inspire me, on so many levels ❤ a clear memory from my earliest childhood, watching this live on my grandpa's first edition of colour TVs... Her dress glowing mesmerisingly red, and the catchy vibe... I was fascinated forever 😊

[@fabb4i2]

2:29 That was ahead of its time in Eurovision.

[@JustJack66]

Romania 2005 ?

[@fabb4i2]

@JustJack66 Thslat one probably as well, but imagine that 15 years prior.

[@JustJack66]

@@fabb4i2 yes, it was definitely something new on the ESC stage at the time, both musically and performance-wise

Bravo à vous pour le prix gagné à l Eurovision et félicitations à Monsieur Serge Gainsbourg .... Respect et Admiration et Souvenirs

[@DanTony68]

Malheureusement, Joëlle n'a pas remporté l'Eurovision cette année-là mais Carola pour la Suède.

[@mardealicante7647]

Wonderful song. Still in my mind

[@matic.m]

She invented the dance break :D

[@Mahasyah]

Très belle chanson et voix bien sûr (je ne précise pas à chaque fois 🙂).(par contre les paroles sont un peu ambiguës quand même je crois, c'est du Gainsbourg alors je me méfie 😅). Mais sacrés passage TV et Eurovision ! 🙂🙂

Eurovision en 2022.SUIS'JE UN MYTHO?

[@debonidaniel]

elle n'était pas la grande favorite de la soirée dans le pré-concours. Rien n'était même attendu même en France même. Mais pendant les répétitions, elle a commencé à se démarquer et a provoqué un impact énorme, ayant plus de scores 12 que l'Italie et terminant à la deuxième place. La chanson était encore la plus jouée à la radio française en 1990 et ouvrait la place aux rythmes caribéens en Europe.

[@johnmorgen6175]

Competition was in Zagreb, Croatia in 1990. just before war starts in countries that was formed after war happening in Yugoslavia! Group Riva won competition in 1989. in Switzerland!

[@alainmaura6543]

tres belle chanson , elle aurait dû gagné

[@macaktosa8874]

[@makmid4236]

Una vez más incomprensible que no fuera esta canción la absoluta de esa edición del festival. Al margen de gustos personales era con mucho la mejor

[@guihd122]

great performance 👏

[@abfab7830]

To be honest I'm not sure there is any instrument playing "live" in the orchestra All instruments on a tape

[@Nikicastipica]

Some pizzicato violins - tiny orchestration, but there was one. Check the biography of conductor Régis Dupré on All Conductors of Eurovision.

[@bnkundwa]

That's alright.

[@divineartofmusic1]

2024 and still is a seductive song , great performance

[@annaavramovic8179]

Najbolja Evrovizija ikad.❤

Bandido is the best. The jury of the Eurovision 90' are deaf.

Malle fra Fyn kunne vinde.

[@Camilof1974]

This song reminds me Argentinian folklore

[@ponyclub3198]

What's all fuss over this song? I can't believe it won second place while Rita from Israel found herself at the bottom along with other far superior songs.

[@abfab7830]

if you say so ...

[@ufuksnmez98]

Not my cup of tea... My second to last :/

[@milaperkovic6550]

Why you do not want to write a name of city where this performance, Eurovision was happened.....is the problem to write Zagreb Croatia, member of former Yugoslavia

[@escLIVEmusic1]

I never mention host city in any of my videos. Most Eurovision fans already knows that the 1990 contest was broadcasted from Zagreb. And if they don't , a simple google search will give them a lot of information about the contest. On this channel I focus strictly about the musical details such as soloists, composers, lyric witers, arrangers and conductors.
