Four times did the...Yeah, you spotted it yourself.<br /><br />Four times did the last 12 pointer decide the final result, depending on how you count. 1988, 1991, 1993 and 1998. (1991 is debatable since it needed a recount but still.)<br /><br />Also in 1979, 1981, 1984 and 2003 the last voting country had the decisive vote. Those were the days. I hope the new system introduced this year will bring back the drama.TobsonHelsinkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064793414035776105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214196539793114612.post-77427403644258171282016-03-31T09:33:56.300+03:002016-03-31T09:33:56.300+03:00Sorry, my memory deceived me.

But close enough of the most exciting votings ever, even though it was painstakingly long.Mikko Suhonenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012195065958165960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214196539793114612.post-56635849076268044492016-03-31T09:22:19.055+03:002016-03-31T09:22:19.055+03:00Curiously enough this setting was almost the same ...Curiously enough this setting was almost the same as in 1988. Before the last 12 points were announced a song that could not get any more points stood in the lead with only one point margin and the song in the second place was yet to get a single point from the last jury. In 1979 Israel got the 12 points from the last jury as anticipated, but in 1988, contrary to expectations, the UK didn't. I think these were the only times during the 1975-2015 voting system when one had to wait until the very last points to judge which song is the victorious one. Or do I miss something?
