Eurovision Song Contest 1997
|
|
The Eurovision Song Contest 1997 was the 42nd Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 3, 1997 in Dublin. The presenters were Ronan Keating and Carrie Crowley. Katrina & the Waves was the winner of this Eurovision with the song Love Shine A Light which was awarded maximum points by ten countries, setting a record which stood until Greece won the 2005 event with three more points, albeit with far more countries voting (39 compared to 1997's 25).
After the controversy over the pre-selection in 1996, the European Broadcasting Union introduced a new system for 1997: the countries with the lowest average scores over the previous four years would be excluded from the 1997 contest, and those with the lowest averages over the previous five years would be excluded from future contests (save that every country so excluded for one year would automatically be allowed to participate the following year), with so many countries being omitted as would reduce the number of participants each year to 25.
