Do you remember the 1980s? That time of no televoting, Good results for some countries that don’t do as well these days, and quality national finals? well, 1989 was itself an interesting year. The Israelis sent Mørland (his 2015 song only proves it). France sent a young Belgian. Switzerland sent a song in a language spoken by three people and two goats. portugal sang about their old empire. And Netherlands, The sent a a native Dutch girl of Indonesian stock. That Dutch girl (Justine Pelmelay) felt things were going to go her way until the last few notes of her classic Dutch entry. Justine is 57 today.
Happy birthday, Justine!
