At Eurovision
On the night of the final Boulevard performed third in the running order, following Sweden and preceding the United Kingdom. The band had to deal with a technical malfunction when the backing track temporarily faded out halfway through the song. At the close of voting "Nauravat silmät muistetaan" had received only 3 points, placing Finland 20th of the 21 entries, ahead only of the nul-points song from Austria.[2] The Finnish jury awarded its 12 points to Luxembourg.[3] Among the members of the Finnish jury was Ilpo Hakasalo.[4]
