Eurovision Song Contest 1982
France was absent because they thought that the Eurovision Song contest was not interesting anymore, but in 1983 the French audience forced the national broadcaster to be in the contest again. Greece also withdrew, leaving 18 countries in competition. The show was staged in a village nobody heard of before, Harrogate. The Finnish singer Kojo tried to impress the audience by hitting himself on the head. He finished last with 0 points. Germany performed last and won the contest, it was their first victory. At the reprise, singer Nicole sang the song in 4 languages, German, English, French and Dutch.
