The Eurovision Song Contest 1994 was the 39th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 30 April 1994 at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Шаблон:Lang (RTÉ), and presented by Cynthia Ní Mhurchú and Gerry Ryan, the contest was held in Ireland following the country's victory at the Шаблон:Escyr with the song "In Your Eyes" by Niamh Kavanagh. It was the first time that any country had hosted two successive editions of the contest, following the previous year's contest held in Millstreet.

Twenty-five countries participated in the contest, which for the first time featured a relegation system to reduce the number of interested participating countries. Seven new countries participated in the event, with entries from Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and Шаблон:Esccnty featuring for the first time. However Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and Шаблон:Esccnty were unable to compete due to the new relegation rules as the lowest-scoring countries at the previous event, whereas Шаблон:Esccnty decided against participating by choice.

Шаблон:Esccnty won the contest for the third year in a row, represented by the song "Rock 'n' Roll Kids", written by Brendan Graham and performed by Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan. It was the firstШаблон:Sndand Шаблон:As of onlyШаблон:Sndtime that a country had won the event on three consecutive occasions, and was a record sixth win for Ireland, confirming it as the contest's most successful nation at that point by number of wins. Poland, Шаблон:Esccnty, Hungary and Шаблон:Esccnty rounded out the top five positions, with Poland achieving the most successful result for a début entry in the contest's history.

The 1994 contest also featured the first appearance of Riverdance. Originally a seven-minute performance of traditional Irish and modern music, choral singing and Irish dancing featured as part of the contest's interval act, it was subsequently developed into a full stage show which has since become a worldwide phenomenon and which has catapulted the careers of its lead dancers Jean Butler and Michael Flatley.

Point Theatre, Dublin – host venue of the 1994 contest (pictured following redevelopment)

The 1994 contest took place in Dublin, Ireland, following the country's victory at the Шаблон:Escyr with the song "In Your Eyes", performed by Niamh Kavanagh. It was the fifth time that Ireland had hosted the contest, following the Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr events also held in Dublin, and the previous year's event held in Millstreet.[1] Ireland thus became the first country to host two successive contests.[2][3]

The selected venue was the Point Theatre, a concert and events venue located among the Dublin Docklands and originally built as a train depot and warehouse to serve the nearby port. Opened as a music venue in 1988, it was closed for redevelopment and expansion in 2008 and is now known as the 3Arena.[3][4] At the time of the contest the arena could seat around 3,200 audience members.[3]

Participating countries

Шаблон:Further Twenty-five countries were permitted to participate in the contest. As the number of countries interested in participating in the contest grew, and following the use of a qualifying round in the previous year's event, a relegation system was introduced to the contest for the first time, which would prevent the lowest-scoring countries from the previous year's event from participating in the subsequent contest.[3][5] In the summer of 1993 the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) confirmed that the seven lowest-scoring countries in the 1993 event would be barred from entering the 1994 contest, to make way for seven countries which would participate for the first time.[3] As a result, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, and Шаблон:Esccnty were unable to enter the contest, and in the contest's largest single expansion of new participating countries since the first edition in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, and Шаблон:Esccnty made their début appearances.[3][5][6] Estonia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia had all previously participated in the 1993 qualifying round Шаблон:Lang.[7] Belgium thus failed to participate in the contest for the first time, leaving Шаблон:Esccnty and Шаблон:Esccnty as the only countries to have competed in every edition of the contest so far.[3] Later in 1993 Шаблон:Esccnty's broadcaster RAI subsequently announced that it would not participate in the event, leading to Cyprus being readmitted as the relegated country with the best result at the 1993 contest.[3][8]

Four performers who had competed in previous editions of contests featured among the participating artists at this year's event: Marie Bergman, representing Шаблон:Esccnty with Roger Pontare, had been a member of the group Family Four that had represented the country in the Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr; Cyprus's Evridiki made a second appearance in the contest, following her entry at the Шаблон:Escyr; Sigga returned to the contest for Шаблон:Esccnty for a third time, having previously competed as part of Stjórnin in Шаблон:Escyr and Heart 2 Heart in 1992; and Elisabeth Andreasson, competing in this event with Jan Werner Danielsen for Шаблон:Esccnty, also participated for the third time, having been a member of the group Chips, which represented Sweden in Шаблон:Escyr, and Bobbysocks!, which had represented Norway and were the winners of the Шаблон:Escyr.[9] A number of artists which had previously competed in the contest also returned as backing performers: Rhonda Heath, who was a member of the group Silver Convention that had represented Germany in the Шаблон:Escyr, performed as a backing singer for the German entry MeKaDo;[10] and Шаблон:Ill, who represented Iceland at the Шаблон:Escyr alongside Stefán Hilmarsson, returned as a backing singer for Sigga.[11] Additionally, having supported Шаблон:Esccnty's William Mangion as backing performers in the previous year's event, Moira Stafrace and Christopher Scicluna returned to the Eurovision stage as the country's entrants at this year's contest.[12]

Production and format

The Eurovision Song Contest 1994 was produced by the Irish public broadcaster Шаблон:Lang (RTÉ). Moya Doherty served as executive producer, Patrick Cowap served as director, Paula Farrell served as designer, and Noel Kelehan served as musical director, leading the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.[6][15][16] A separate musical director could be nominated by each country to lead the orchestra during their performance, with the host musical director also available to conduct for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.[9]

Each participating broadcaster submitted one song, which was required to be no longer than three minutes in duration and performed in the language, or one of the languages, of the country which it represented.[17][18] A maximum of six performers were allowed on stage during each country's performance, and all participants were required to have reached the age of 16 in the year of the contest.[17][19] Each entry could utilise all or part of the live orchestra and could use instrumental-only backing tracks, however any backing tracks used could only include the sound of instruments featured on stage being mimed by the performers.[19][20]

Following the confirmation of the twenty-five competing countries, the draw to determine the running order was held on 16 November 1993 at the Point Theatre and was conducted by Niamh Kavanagh and Fionnuala Sweeney.[3][21][22]

The results of the 1994 contest were determined through the same scoring system as had first been introduced in Шаблон:Escyr: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.[23] The points awarded by each country were determined by an assembled jury of sixteen individuals, which was required to be split evenly between members of the public and music professionals, between men and women, and by age. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and ten votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs in the top ten received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing.[24][25]

With the Point Theatre situated on the banks of the river Liffey, rivers was an integral part of the overall creative vision for the show and was a key theme of the opening and interval acts as well as the stage design.[26] Paula Farrell's design, which was four times the size of the stage constructed for the Millstreet contest, provided a scene of a futuristic Dublin at night, featuring representations of skyscrapers which incorporated video screens and lighting effects and underfloor lighting representing the Liffey and Dublin Bay. On either side of the stage podium-lined platforms were used by the presenters in-between songs and during the voting segment.[8][27][28][29]

Rehearsals at the contest venue began on 25 April 1994. Each participating delegation took part in two technical rehearsals in the week approach the contest, with countries rehearsing in the order in which they would perform. In each country's first rehearsal, held on 25 and 26 April, the delegations were provided with a 15-minute stage-call to prepare the stage and to brief the orchestra, followed by a 25-minute rehearsal. This was then followed by an opportunity to review footage of the rehearsal on video screens and to conduct a 20-minute press conference. The second rehearsals on 27 and 28 April consisted of a 10-minute stage-call and a 20 minute rehearsal. Three dress rehearsals were held with all artists, two in the afternoon and evening of 29 April and one final rehearsal in the afternoon of 30 April, with an audience present at the evening rehearsal on 29 April. The competing delegations were additionally invited to a welcome reception during the week of the event, held on the evening of 25 April in the Dining Hall of Trinity College Dublin.[3]

During the final dress rehearsal on 30 April, the Polish entrant Edyta Górniak performed the second half of her song "To nie ja!" in English. As this rehearsal was also heard by the juries this constituted a break of the contest rules. Although discussions were held on whether to sanction or disqualify the country, Poland was ultimately allowed to compete.[6][8][9]

Contest overview

Файл:Edyta Górniak in 2009.jpg
Edyta Górniak (pictured in 2009), the first artist to represent Шаблон:Esccnty in Eurovision, finished in second place and achieved the most successful result for a début country in the contest's history.

The contest took place on 30 April 1994 at 20:00 (IST) and lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes. The show was presented by the Irish journalist and television presenter Cynthia Ní Mhurchú and the Irish radio and television presenter Gerry Ryan.[6][9] Ní Mhurchú and Ryan had been considered as hosts for the 1993 event before the eventual choice of Fionnuala Sweeney.[30]

The contest was opened with a segment by the Galway-based arts and theatre company Macnas, featuring a mixture of pre-recorded and live footage of a replica Viking longship on the river Liffey, and dancers, flag-bearers and performers in caricature masks of notable Irish personalities in various locations in central Dublin and in the Point Theatre.[3][31][32][33] The interval act, "Riverdance", was a seven-minute composition by the Irish composer Bill Whelan, and took inspiration from "Timedance", the interval act from the Шаблон:Escyr also held in Dublin.[34] "Riverdance" featured a mix of traditional Irish and modern music by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, choral singing from the Celtic ensemble Anúna, and Irish dancing led by the Irish-American dancers Jean Butler and Michael Flatley.[35][36] The trophy awarded to the winners, entitled "Wavelength", was designed by the Irish sculptor Grace Weir of the Temple Bar Gallery, and was presented by the previous year's winning artist Niamh Kavanagh.[31][37][38]

The winner was Шаблон:Esccnty represented by the song "Rock 'n' Roll Kids", written by Brendan Graham and performed by Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan. This marked Ireland's sixth contest winШаблон:Snda new contest recordШаблон:Sndand also gave the country its third win in a rowШаблон:Sndthe first time a country had won three successive contests.[5][39][24] "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" became the highest scoring winner in Eurovision history to date with 226 points, and was the first song to receive over 200 points. It was also the first time that a song had won without using the orchestra. Harrington and McGettigan additionally became the oldest winning performers and the first winning male duo.[5][8][24] First-time participating countries Poland, Hungary and Russia all finished in the top ten, placing second, fourth and ninth respectively, with Poland achieving the most successful début performance of any country in the contest's history.[2][40] Lithuania conversely scored nul points with its first ever entry.[41]

Broadcasts

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers.[19] Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below.

Legacy

Файл:Flatley alone cropped.jpg
Michael Flatley featured as part of the contest's interval act "Riverdance", which was subsequently developed into a worldwide hit stage show.

Although the winning song had modest success, peaking in the Irish Singles Chart at number 2 and also entering the Dutch and Flemish charts following the contest,[88][89] it was largely overshadowed by the contest's interval act. The music to "Riverdance" was subsequently released as a single shortly after the contest and shot straight to number 1 on the Irish charts where it remained for 18 weeks.[90][91] Шаблон:As of "Riverdance" remains the second best selling single in Ireland ever, behind Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"/"Candle in the Wind 1997".[91][92] An invite was subsequently given to feature the original seven-minute performance at the Royal Variety Performance in November 1994 at the Dominion Theatre in London in the presence of Prince Charles.[93] At the same time preparations were underway to develop the seven-minute performance into a stage show, preparations led by Moya Doherty, who had been the executive producer of Eurovision 1994, and her husband John McColgan.[94][95] Opening in February 1995 at the Point Theatre and featuring original lead dancers Michael Flatley and Jean Butler, the full length show ran for an initial run of five weeks, with tickets selling out within three days of going on sale, followed by another sold-out run at the Hammersmith Apollo in London and in March 1996 its first performance in the United States, at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.[91][96][97] It is estimated that Riverdance has now been seen live by over 27.5 million people at performances worldwide, and that over 10 million home videos of Riverdance performances have been sold.[94]

The relegation system introduced to the contest in this edition continued to be used in various forms for the next ten years and allowed even more new countries to join the event, with Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty and Шаблон:Esccnty competing for the first time in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and Шаблон:Escyr respectively.[98][99][100] However as the contest continued to develop, and as even more countries began to express an interest in competing, the relegation system proved unable to meet the needs required to allow for an equitable solution for all countries. Ultimately this led to the introduction of a semi-final to the contest format in Шаблон:Escyr, allowing all interested countries to participate once again, which was eventually expanded to two semi-finals from Шаблон:Escyr.[5][101][102]
