Marlene Charell |
DEBUTS None |
Star of the show was definitely the presenter
Marlene Charell. Now, after a few contests where two presenters had been
used, you would have thought they would have shared the workload, because
poor old Marlene really earned her crust that night. Not only did she have
to employ a third language on the voting (German, obviously), but she also
participated in the the interval ballet routine!
Now there is good ethnic music and there is bad
ethnic music, and I don't care what anyone says, Spain's song this year
was definitely in the latter category. The poor woman sounded like she was
in pain. Who on earth in Madrid thought this was a vote-winner? Possible
the least Euro-friendly song ever.
In retrospect, it's now sad to witness this contest
again, as two of the most successful performers met tragic ends. One of
the German Hoffman's took his own life, and Israel's great Ofra Haza
passed away with a HIV-related illness.
