WINNING SONG TITLE PERFORMER COUNTRY COMPOSERS
Nocturne Secret garden Norway Rolf Lovland & Peter Skavlan

 

For the first time in the history of the contest, a rap song was entered, and it was the United Kingdom who took the brave decision to do so. Unfortunately Eurovision wasn't ready for rap, and the song came in 10th. There was a slight controversy regarding the winning song from Norway, as it only contained eight lines of lyrics, and was virtually an instrumental. It also had an irish violinist performing a solo as part of the tune, which carried on the Irish connection from the previous 3 years.
