Eurovision Song Contest 1990
Encyclopedia
The Eurovision Song Contest
1990, the 35th in the series, was held in Zagreb
, Yugoslavia
on 5 May 1990. The presenters were Helga Vlahović Brnobić and Oliver Mlakar
. Toto Cutugno
was the winner of this contest with the song "Insieme: 1992
". This was the second and most recent victory for Italy
, the first one having been "Non ho l'età
", performed by Gigliola Cinquetti
in 1964
.
The lyrics of several entries celebrated the revolution and democratisation that had occurred in central and eastern Europe in the preceding months, focusing especially on the fall of the Berlin Wall
in November 1989, such as in the Norwegian
and Austrian
entries. However, the winning song was an even more sweeping evocation of European unity, in anticipation of the completion of the European single market, due at the end of 1992.
Malta
had wished to return to the contest for the first time in 15 years, but Eurovision rules prevented them from returning due to a maximum of 22 entries allowed to compete. A national final was held in Malta, which was won by Maryrose Mallia with "Our Little World of Yesterday".
There was a slightly uncomfortable beginning to the rehearsal week when, offended by press comments concerning their ages (Brnobić being 45 at the time and Mlakar being 54), the two presenters quit the show. They were briefly replaced by Rene Medvešek
and Dubravka Marković, who were much younger, but the misunderstandings were eventually allayed and Brnobić and Mlakar returned to the contest.
The Eurovision Song Contest 1990 was the first to implement an age rule. The European Broadcasting Union
(EBU) were forced to bring in a restriction rule after criticism arose over the ages of two performers at 1989
contest, being just 11 and 12 years old. From 1990, no artist under the age of 16 on the day of the contest could perform on stage. This rule meant that the record for the youngest ever winner at Eurovision could never be broken, as Sandra Kim
, who won for Belgium
at the 1986
competition, was just 13 years old.
A notorious mishap occurred at the start of the first song, when a noticeably long delay caused by problems with the backing track was followed by the Spanish singers Azúcar Moreno
missing their cue. They walked off the stage in barely concealed annoyance and the audience was left in confusion for a moment, but the song was then restarted without any further problems.
From a musicological perspective both Spain's "Bandido" and France's "White and Black Blues
" can be said to be the first entries to signal a new trend at Eurovision, with both songs fusing contemporary dance music with ethnic influences, from flamenco
and calypso
respectively. By the 2000s this fusion of ethno/dance/pop had crossed over to mainstream success in the contest, with entries like Turkey's "Everyway That I Can
", Ukraine's "Wild Dances
", Greece's "My Number One
" and Norway's "Fairytale
" winning in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009.
The 1990 contest was the first to feature an official mascot
, called Eurocat, created by Joško Marušić
. This mischievous purple cat popped up during the 'postcards' of each of the 22 entries, which also included travelogues of the country about to perform, in conjunction with the European Year of Tourism 1990
