Where did sir cliff Richards come in eurovision song contest?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, and he won it for us too
He came second in 1968 with Congratulations and fourth in 1973 with Power to All Our Friends. There is some doubt that the winner in 1968 (Spain with La La La) was not the subject of jury-rigging by General Franco; if that were so, the Cliff would have been the true winner but, as it stands, he only came close.

What song did mireille mathieu sing in the eurovision song contest?
Asked by Wiki User
Celine sings many songs. Most songs are in French and English. Her most popular French song is "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and she is well known in English for "Because You Loved Me" and "My Heart Will Go On." "My heart Will Go On" is the theme song of the 1997 version of the Titanic movie so if you hear it, it may sound familiar if you've seen the movie. I think that another good song that she has sang is "A New Day Has Come". She has also recorded songs in Spanish, Japanese, and Italian.

Why can't Britain vote for Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Asked by Wiki User
"The reason behind the (Italians) refusal to participate is explained by the fact that "Italians are so passionate about their many singer-songwriters, cantautori. It's just for this reason that Italy no longer participates every year in the Europe-wide song festival called the Eurovision Song Festival."
"A few years back, when Italy came in a terrible position with a song and performance by one of their most treasured singer-songwriters, Enrico Ruggeri, they took their ball and well home, refusing to play with Eurovision any more. They accused their fellow broadcasters of catering to the masses' lack of musical sophistication and of politicized voting."
Hope that helps
Italy rejoined the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 and competed again in 2012, in both cases earning a respectable position in the final.
