  • 1968 Soit Le Troisième Concours Eurovision Organisé Par La B.B
    Lieu : Royal Albert Hall de Londres Orchestre : Norrie Paramor’s ( Royaume-Uni ). Orchestra. Présentation : Katie Boyle. Date : Samedi 6 Avril. Réalisateur : Stewart Morris. Durée : 1h 37. Bien que 1968 soit le troisième concours Eurovision organisé par la B.B. C., c’est en fait la première fois qu’elle l’accueille après une victoire. Comme en 1960 et 1962 c’est Catherine Boyle qui anime la soirée. Le Royal Albert Hall est aménagé pour la circonstance et c’est à travers une immense réplique du logo étoilé de l’Eurovision que les 17 concurrents pénètrent sur scène. Une caméra placée en coulisses permet de suivre les quelques secondes qui précèdent leur entrée dans la salle. Mais la grande invitée de la soirée est la couleur. Détail curieux, si le spectacle est relayé dans tous les pays d’Europe en couleurs, les britanniques devront se contenter du noir et blanc et attendre la rediffusion du lendemain pour apprécier le concours en polychromie. On s’était bien aperçu dans les dernières années que les tenues des participants se faisaient plus brillantes, les jupes des chanteuses plus courtes, mais ce progrès technique permet de découvrir des roses, des bleus et des jaunes que l’on aurait eu du mal à imaginer. Aurait-on autant apprécié les costumes médiévaux de l’ensemble yougoslave Dubrovacki Trubadori ( recomposé en un duo et trois choristes, le règlement n’autorisant que deux interprètes ) sans la couleur ? Parmi les 65 chansons présentées au comité de sélection français, c’est “La source” qui a été retenue. Le titre, dont le texte est signé Guy Bonnet et Henri Djian et la musique Daniel Faure, avait déjà été présenté en 1967 en sélection française.

  • MASSIEL, PODEROSA Y DESCONCERTANTE (Por Reyes Del Amor, Marzo De 2007)
    MASSIEL, PODEROSA Y DESCONCERTANTE (Por Reyes del Amor, marzo de 2007) Massiel, Dúo Dinámico y Cliff Richard en Eurovisión ‘68 Conocida entre los intelectuales de la época como la “Tanqueta de Leganitos”, Massiel vio la luz el 2 de agosto de 1947 en la villa de Madrid. Hija de asturianos, fue nuestra primera ganadora en Eurovisión en 1968 con el inolvidable “La, la, la”... Empezamos la historia por el momento cenit, cómo en algunas películas, para después ir a los inicios y la actualidad de una de nuestras artistas más desconcertantes de nuestra escena, así como poderosa en todas sus manifestaciones. El seis de abril del ’68, sábado, quedó grabado en las retinas de los españoles por el “La, la, la” de nuestra incombustible Massiel. Esas imágenes, en blanco y negro, forman parte de la historia sentimental de nuestro país. Desde el Royal Albert Hall de Londres, Katie Boyle presentó la decimotercera edición del Certamen. Federico Gallo fue el cronista que pudo decir emocionado: “Señoras y señores ¡España ha ganado, ante doscientos millones de telespectadores!...” Salieron 17 canciones representando a: Portugal, Holanda, Bélgica, Austria, Luxemburgo, Suiza, Mónaco, Suecia, Finlandia, Francia, Italia, Reino Unido, Noruega, Irlanda, España, Alemania y Yugoslavia. Por primera vez se vio en color en Noruega, Alemania, Francia, Suiza, Suecia, Finlandia y Holanda. Se recuperó el viejo sistema de votación, desechado en 1962. Cada país daba 10 puntos repartidos entre sus canciones favoritas. El escenario del teatro circular londinense respiraba pura tensión. Estamos en la época dorada de Eurovisión. En el Royal Albert Hall habían 2.000 personas esperando con intriga el desenlace de un show que presagiaba mucha magia.

  • Eurovision Song Contest: the Story by Nathaly Schwarm-Bronson
    Back Eurovision Song Contest: the Story by Nathaly Schwarm-Bronson In the mid-1950s the members of the European Broadcasting Union set up an ad hoc committee to investigate ways of rallying the countries of Europe round a light entertainment programme. At Monaco in late January 1955 this committee, chaired by Marcel Bezençon, Director General of Swiss Television, came up with the idea of creating a song contest, inspired by the very popular San Remo Festival. The idea was approved by the EBU General Assembly in Rome on 19 October 1955 and it was decided that the first “Eurovision Grand Prix” – so baptized, incidentally, by a British journalist – would take place in spring 1956 at Lugano, Switzerland. The next step was to put together a set of rules to be followed by the participants, of which there were originally ten, although only seven countries were eventually allowed to take part: Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and West Germany. The other three countries – Austria, Denmark and United Kingdom – registered after the official deadline and were thus disqualified from entering the contest. The rules of the first contest allowed the participants to enter a maximum of two songs each, and it was strongly recommended that the songs be selected at a national final involving the participation of the public, to render the contest as popular as possible. There was no rule on language, each participant being entitled to choose the language in which they wished to perform. There was, however, a rule on the amount of time allowed: three and a half minutes was the maximum for each performance.
