Eurovision 1987

At Eurovision Song Contest 1987 22 countries were participate.
Brussels, the capital of Belgium hosted the first contest of the ESC in 1987 dismantled building specifically for the needs of the organization, which soon disbanded. This was a great event for the Belgians. The organization of the Brussels and Belgian television in general was not something easily done. Indeed, the ESC 1987 she almost left the hands of Belgian television due to internal problems. H EBU already sound out the French-speaking Swiss television (2nd in 1986) whether it will hold the contest when Belgium declared impossible. Since 1956, RTBF (French speaking Belgian television) and BRT (Dutch-Belgian television) alternated each year to represent their country. In 1986 the «J'AIME LA VIE» of SANDRA KIM represented the RTBF. So according to the regulations of 1987 the organization had to be made by the French-speaking Belgians. The problem was that in 1987 it was the turn of the Flemish send song and wanted to be in Eurovision Dutch-speaking town of Ostend. The two televisions do not accept any compromise. Shortly before the RTBF go it alone in the tournament, the matter was sent to the Belgian parliament, which decided that the RTBF will be organized after the ESC-won-and that the BRT would send the Belgian song because it was her turn. A recent joint effort of organizing and sank in the RTBF has its own plans for the final in Brussels. The presenter-famous with some success as an asset in the field of cinema and music-took its name from the namesake men's role in the film Casablanca. Features left space earrings and accessories. In 1987 we had record entries! 22 countries have registered, the 20 countries that participated in 1986 and together with them to Greece and Italy who have returned after a year's absence .. The following Germany and Yugoslavia started very strong but somewhere before the middle, suddenly Ireland took the first and lasted until the end! The "Hold Me Now" the Johnny Logan, was a huge success worldwide and all-time classic like the Italian "Gente Di Mare". Johnny Logan is the only singer who has received 2 awards Eurovision. The reprise says: "I still love you all" (in 1980 said "I love you all").
