Memory Monday.

Back to the music. More specifically ESC.

One of the most winning countries in the ESC is Ireland (They have won 7 times!).
And the most winning performer is probably Johnny Logan:

1980 Ireland. Johnny Logan - What´s Another Year


1987 Ireland. Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now


And he wrote Linda Martin's "Why Me?" (1992) as well, but I told you that last time.

Another Irish winner: 1996 Eimear Quinn - The Voice



Sweden has done pretty well too (I told you about Carola and ABBA last time):

1984. Herreys - Diggi-Lou Diggi-Ley


1999. Charlotte Nilsson - Take Me To Your Heaven



- and Norway as well:

1985. Bobbysocks - La Det Swinge (Let it swing)


1995. Secret Garden - Nocturne


If you want any background information on the songs - click here.

She didn't win with this song, but I couldn't resist....
1983. Carola - Främling (Stranger)

However the title of this song might be "Stranger" when you translate it, Carola went on a tour after ESC with this song performing it in several languages: in English as "Love Isn't Love", in German as "Fremder", and in Dutch as "Je ogen hebben geen geheimen".
Just a bit of useless information I wanted to share...

Have a nice Monday.
