Eurovision Song Contest 1990 - My Top 10 (and Honourable Mentions)

Описание: 1990 is, without a doubt, my favourite year in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. My feelings for this year cannot be described as nothing but pure happiness. Taking place in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (nowadays the capital of Croatia), this was the only time that the country hosted the competition, thanks to the band Riva's winning performance in Lausanne the previous year. It was also only two years before the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia completely dissolved in 1992, ensuring this contest's historical significance.

What also makes this year symbolic to me is the excellent quality of the songs (bar one), and how I have a good thing to say about each of them. A recurring theme this year was reflecting on the newfound joy many European citizens felt regarding the political climate at the time, and the winning song this year expressed hope for the joyful reunion about to commence on the continent, gazing towards 1992, the year the European Union was scheduled to begin operations. All too meaningful for what would happen to 1990's host country that very same year.

This year is filled with memorable performances, excellent presenting skills, and a selection of songs that would fondly be remembered by Eurovision fans, my personal winner holding a special place in my Eurovision heart.
As always, enjoy the ranking! :)
