Eurovision Trivia Questions

1. In this year, the previous year's winner returned to try and defend their title.

From Quiz
Guess the Right Eurovision Year

Answer: 2011, Dusseldorf

The 2011 contest, held in Dusseldorf's Esprit Arena, was won by Azerbaijan, with the song "Running Scared" by Ell & Nikki. Host country Germany, winner of the 2010 edition, was represented by 2010 winner Lena Meyer-Landrut, who had returned to the contest to defend her title.

2. Which east European/west Asian country made its debut in the contest in 2008?

From Quiz Eurovision 2008-2012

Answer: Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan made its debut in the contest with the song "Day After Day" sung by Elnur & Samir. They came eighth overall just ahead of Israel. This score however is their lowest, as since 2008 they have always placed in the top five.

3. The 31st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in 1986, had a Belgian winner - the first time ever. Sandra Kim, aged 13, won. What was the title of her song?

From Quiz The European Song Contest

Answer: J'Aime la Vie

All these song titles were performed in 1986 at the ESC. Sandra Kim, born Sandra Caldarone, won with an enthusiastic performance of "J'aime la Vie" ("I Love Life"). The Swiss delegation moved for a disqualification as the lyrics of this song state "J'ai quinze ans" ("I'm fifteen years old"), which was not true at that time. However, in 1986 there was no alternative version for young participants, so Sandra Kim could keep the title. As for the other songs: Timna Brauer sang "Die Zeit ist Einsam" ("The Time Is Lonely") for Austria and finished 18th. Ketil Stokkan competed for Norway and sang "Romeo". He became 12th. And the Swiss Daniela Simons claimed the second place with her song "Pas pour Moi" ("Not for Me"). This question was brought to you by player JanIQ from Belgium.

4. In 1979, Israel came first with the song "Hallelujah" - who sang this winning song?

From Quiz Eurovision Song Contest Fanatics

Answer: Milk & Honey with Gali Atari

14. France won the contest in 1962 but refused to host the contest the following year due to expense. Which country held the contest instead?

From Quiz Eurovision Song Contest

Answer: United Kingdom

There have been a number of occasions when the winning country has declined to host the contest. In 1960, 1972 and 1974 the UK hosted the contest despite not winning the previous year because the winning country could not afford to host. In 1980, the Netherlands held the contest as Israel could not, due to expense; the date the contest was to be held on was Israel's Remembrance Day.

From Quiz The European Song Contest

Answer: Last

After winning in 1957 with her song "Net als toen", Corry Brokken wanted to defend her title in Hilversum. Receiving only a single point, she finished on a disappointing shared last place with her title "Heel de Wereld". She also performed in the first Eurovision contest ever held, in 1956. Although her final position is unknown, she is said to have done well with her song "Voorgoed voorbij". In 2010, she still holds the record for being the only competitor to finish both first and last at the Eurovision Song Contest. GraceGreer from the Netherlands crafted this question.

17. Although it had a convincing win, the 2002 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest was the first winning song ever not to be released anywhere outside its own territory. What country and song was it?

From Quiz Eurovision Song Contest Fanatics

Answer: Latvia - Marie N singing "I Wanna"

In fact, the song failed to excite even in Latvia - it sold in such small quantities it failed to break the Latvian Top 30. I admit, I love it.

20. Which song won the Eurovision Song Contest 1968?

From Quiz Eurovision Song Contest - Part 2

Answer: La la la

The 1968 Contest ended with a shock result when Sir Cliff Richard was defeated by the Spanish beauty Maria de los Angeles Santamaria, better known as Massiel. She la-la-la-ed Spain to a glorious first ever victory. The song was supposed to have been performed by Joan Manuel Serrat, but when he insisted on singing it in Catalan the Spanish broadcasters asked Massiel to sing the song at London's Royal Albert Hall. She won the contest with 29 points, 6 of which came from West Germany. It was remarkable that Spain and the UK failed to vote for each other at all.

21. Which country's jury memorably voted "nul points" to the Swedish entry in 1974?

From Quiz Eurovision

Answer: United Kingdom

In 1974 the contest was held in Brighton, England, and the United Kingdon jury, presumably transfixed by the outlandish clothes worn by the Swedish entry, gave them no points.

One of the UK jury members is quoted as saying that they formed a support group to live with what they had done.
