It was such a close call between Katrina, Dana and Carola. All of them completely wonderful, I went for Katrina.

[Lee]

I'm starting to regret my choice already, I think I should have gone for Carola. I am also thinking that it's a shame Amina is not in the list. I know she didn't win, but she did tie for 1st place and only lost out on a technicality.

Katrina and the Waves, clearly. Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigen are on second place for me, Niamh Kavanagh on third. Oh, the memories of that "Irish" decade in ESC history! "Rock n Roll Kids" were the most memorable winning song and winning moment for me -- winning with such a beautifully melancholic song in front of one's home audience: priceless.

Remarkable that the winning songs of the 90s never made me really cringe (as opposed to the 80s winning songs) -- although I consider the 80s the better and more interesting musical decade.

lol this time i have a different taste. voted for nocturne...

Rock n Roll kids bored me to death. It was my least memorable winning moment of the 90's, even worse than Eimmar Quinn. (Oh for god's sake, stop breathing so heavy woman)

I agree with Lee... for me, Rock'n Roll Kids and The Voice are one of the worst winning songs...

I voted for Carola... hard choice between "In your eyes", "Diva" and "Love shine a light".

Special mention to "Vuelve conmigo", "Fiumi di parole", "Se pa mig" and "Ik wil alles met je delen" which didn't make it.

I know that "Rock N Roll Kids" drew many negative reactions -- I still find that surprising. I found the song very charming and the story behind it even touching -- namely that they won against the odds even of their own nation. Weren't the Irish hoping in fact they wouldn't have to host the ESC again?

[Lee]

I had a very different view. All I could think of was - Oh no, not bloody Ireland again. I wouldn't have mided so much, but the song was just very dull. IMO.
