The reason some non-European countries (like Israel, and at one point even Morocco) can participate, is that these countries' broadcasters are full members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which, despite its name, is indeed open to memberships from non-European countries. The EBU also has so-called 'associate members' all over the world (including CBC in Canada), but associate membership does not grant one automatic access to or participation in EBU productions like the Eurovision Song Contest. However, the EBU may invite such associate members to join in, which is what happened to Australia. The reason for Australia's inclusion in the contest despite it 'only' being an associate member, is the fact that the contest had been broadcast and had been very popular in Australia for many years, with fans gathering in the early morning to watch the show live from the other side of the globe. Whether a similar invite will ever be extended to Canada remains to be seen, but one of the prerequisites for participation is that the Contest must be broadcast in its entirety - live, unabridged and uncensored - in the country in question. Hope this clears things up a bit? Source: Wim Lammens

@@geeemoney1669 In theory, yes. In practice, no: the vast majority of participating countries have a healthy dose of pride in their cultural heritage and musical traditions, and will make a point of selecting an artist and song representative for their country and originating there, or with at least an obvious link to it (for instance: Turkey once sent a popular young Belgian singer with Turkish roots, and Greece recently went with a Dutch singer from a Dutch-Greek family - the idea being that such a move will in theory guarantee you a good score from one of the other participants 😉). And while the restriction of having to perform a song in your country’s official language has been lifted for the past 20-odd years (a rule which had existed for decades but which often appeared to work in favour of English or French-speaking countries), in recent years it has proved successful to ditch the obvious universal appeal of English, and to unapologetically sing in one’s mother tongue again, leading to non-English victories for Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine and Italy. Nowadays, when a country selects an artist with no direct link to them, it’s often because they are very small and have a fairly limited own music scene: San Marino, for instance, a microstate with a mere 34,000 inhabitants, has called upon Turkish singer Serhat to represent them twice so far, and in 2022 they even went as far as to fly in American rapper Flo Rida.

Alot of singers and actors have spoken out about the evil ov the industry like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and many others and then they suddenly "died". Hellywood is very occult, always sad to see how these people change for the worse over time in that industry. They use actors and singers to manipulate the masses. You like your idols/false idols and then immitate and believe them. Thats how it also started that women started to wear pants (mens clothing), having short hair (masculine), being dominant etc. etc. Trying to blur the line between male and female.

Then she was groomed by her manager, her parents weren't too concerned because they knew she would be a millionaire. Celine herself became conditioned to the trauma and stayed in the marriage, the music industry and media were complicit in this coercion with a minor and made it all appear normal to the citizens who were too dumbed down to consider that grooming actually went on. She became a star, and all that glitter and glamour was all the people needed to blissfully ignore that children like Celine were fodder for the music industry... And if she were honest with herself today, she would admit she was groomed. Very sad indeed.

I actually also remember that my mom said ”that’s the winner this year” when the countries’ songs were previewed on Swedish TV the week before the Eurovision final. We recorded an audio tape from the radio broadcast of the Eurovision but not a video tape. I listened to the audio one over and over again and and remembered that wonderful singer dressed in white. Ne partez pas sans moi and Céline actually meant a lot to me. Thanks to them I chose to learn French at school and it also made me very interested in Switzerland where I later also lived for a couple of years. They also made me a huge Eurovision fan.

Oh, those were the times when Eurovision was still worth watching. I remember this so vividly. That was when I first heard of Celine Dion. It was, obviously not the last time. Before she got on stage the commentator on our national TV said: 'The country that organized the very first Eurovision Song Contest was Switzerland and the Swiss won that contest, but after that they've never repeated the success.' And the rest is history... :)

If you consider that Celine Dion wasn't even the first choice for Switzerland to represent them at Eurovision... before Celine Dion, the Swiss aproached a czech singer and musician Lenka Filipova... but she didn't get a permision from the Communist regime back then...represent another country, or even leave Czechoslovakia...

I knew eurovision because of celine , I think she has been the best contestant ever participated in that show
The reason some non-European countries (like Israel, and at one point even Morocco) can participate, is that these countries' broadcasters are full members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which, despite its name, is indeed open to memberships from non-European countries. The EBU also has so-called 'associate members' all over the world (including CBC in Canada), but associate membership does not grant one automatic access to or participation in EBU productions like the Eurovision Song Contest. However, the EBU may invite such associate members to join in, which is what happened to Australia. The reason for Australia's inclusion in the contest despite it 'only' being an associate member, is the fact that the contest had been broadcast and had been very popular in Australia for many years, with fans gathering in the early morning to watch the show live from the other side of the globe. Whether a similar invite will ever be extended to Canada remains to be seen, but one of the prerequisites for participation is that the Contest must be broadcast in its entirety - live, unabridged and uncensored - in the country in question. Hope this clears things up a bit? Source: Wim Lammens
Thank you for such an in-depth and normal (ie polite) explanation.
I get it but still...Why Eurovision? It could have another name... It's very politicized...Back in the day, it was a real contest today it's like the Michelin guide, as fake as politics...
Great song 👌
Won in Dublin please God she comes back we are still excited for your concert x
That's because if you read at their website - is not a contest for the countries of Europe but an event to promote broadcasting cooperation between the countries of Europe and their area neighbors
I can’t believe how time has gone by so fast…Celine was spectacular that night and won for Switzerland 🇨🇭. The lady who wears to blue sequins dress, was Nella Martinetti, a well known singer at that time in Switzerland! She sadly passed away in 2011…grazie Nella per aver partecipato nel successo di Celine Dion, un abbraccio enorme, ♥️🇨🇭♥️🌹🇨🇭♥️
These host are unbelievable. The lady repeating nonstop ’pRoints’ in her so called French. And the man just giving Celine a new surname. Congrats Miss Delon! 👏🏿
Who knew this barley 18-19 years old girl would become one of the most successful singers in the history of music
one can really hear the pure talent already at this age, it's stupendous.
Who was the UK singer who almost beat Celine Dion? He/She must also be good, I suppose...
@@ard8785 That was Scott Fitzgerald. He had a few hits prior to ESC, but at the time of his appearance he was working in a meat market in Glasgow. His song was written by the daughter of Bruce Forsyth
She would have never succeeded without her manager Rene Angelil whom she met at 12 yrs old and became officially a couple when she was 19. & later married. I never liked him but he knew his work.
@@mona2242 she succeeded thanks to Rene But don’t say that she would never succeed without him. Things could’ve still happen different ways
She is the best stil here 2022 Who is with me here ?
Still obsessed with this in 2023. The fact that she was fully crying and then just casually gave that awesome performance...that's hard to do!! But she pulled it off perfectly!
And Måns Zelmerlöw's overwhelmed little giggle in the start of his winning performance with Heroes. Gotta love it when the artists emotionally break the 4th wall, proving to europe and the rest of the world we're all just humans. Beautiful.
It's so wild. In 2023 it would be the most insane serve.
She is amazing. I would love for Eurovision to make a tribute to her!!
@@ferdinstraI'm really hoping she is able to be a part of next year's show. 🤞
3:54 she was convinced she had lost. That room did not expect the twist of Yugoslavia awarding no points to the UK’s entry
Not unusual - Yugoslavia rarely voted for the UK.
My husband was so exited that unforgettable night!! His composition won the first price!! Bravo Atilla Sereftug!!
And you came second if I am not mistaken 😘
This song was mediocre, the choice of singer who was representing Switzerland is what got them the win nothing more.
Pretentious song long time forgotten
I never knew Daniella Simmons married Atilla Sereftug! 😱
Great song for a tremendous singer !
Watching this on May 2024 and waiting for 2024 eurovision. ❤
And Switzerland won by 1 point?! After Yugoslavia has voted?! That's history! I was watching that and don't remember that my country voted last and bring victory to Celine!!!
She was 20 years old at that time .. And she remain such a great voice in history..
But then she married what is probably the oldest man in Canadian history.

So true.
It was also like that in the 90’s and 00’s. It was when 10’s came around it went downhill.

...and hideous outfits.
@@georgemacpherson1992 It happened in 1999 when they got rid of the Orchestra's. After that the shouting and not singing started. Worst thing ever to have happened. Now the singers have ear peices in so they can "hear" the backing tracks. Poor Poor Poor.
They didn’t know they were in the presence of greatness!! The vocal trinity!!
I kind of think they did she won after all. Although it seemed like alot of other people wanted to take credit.
@@tss9886 it is not a voice contest. the song won, not her. sure, she played a role, but it was not the main reason for it.
No they hadn't a clue but we all did t know 😂
This vocal trinity is ridiculous. There’s hundreds of singers better than her. Depends what your tastes are. Here she’s subpar.
;-)
Celine is the most wonderful singer in the world Hope she gets well soon and be back singing again Love you Celine XXX
So sad she’s battling an illness, hope she recovers truly a magnificent woman ❤
I don't understand how a French Canadian singer was representing Switzerland in Eurovision. But as a Canadian I'm happy it happened.
The singer can be selected from wherever - we’ve had Australian singers representing the UK, Greeks singing for Luxembourg, etc.
@@Wim2600 so basically it has nothing to do with the talents of certain countries just whether or not they know which artists to randomly pick???
@@geeemoney1669 In theory, yes. In practice, no: the vast majority of participating countries have a healthy dose of pride in their cultural heritage and musical traditions, and will make a point of selecting an artist and song representative for their country and originating there, or with at least an obvious link to it (for instance: Turkey once sent a popular young Belgian singer with Turkish roots, and Greece recently went with a Dutch singer from a Dutch-Greek family - the idea being that such a move will in theory guarantee you a good score from one of the other participants 😉). And while the restriction of having to perform a song in your country’s official language has been lifted for the past 20-odd years (a rule which had existed for decades but which often appeared to work in favour of English or French-speaking countries), in recent years it has proved successful to ditch the obvious universal appeal of English, and to unapologetically sing in one’s mother tongue again, leading to non-English victories for Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine and Italy. Nowadays, when a country selects an artist with no direct link to them, it’s often because they are very small and have a fairly limited own music scene: San Marino, for instance, a microstate with a mere 34,000 inhabitants, has called upon Turkish singer Serhat to represent them twice so far, and in 2022 they even went as far as to fly in American rapper Flo Rida.
At that time Celine Dion was living in Switzerland.
@@geeemoney1669 isn’t it just the song that has to be written by someone/people from the country the song represents? It’s a song contest and not a singers contest after all.
Her voice is a gift from God. We are. blessed that she shared it with us.. God Bless you Celine.🌈
Celine has always seemed very humble to me. I love that the woman presenter realized Celine was struggling to dry her face off, probably worried about ruining her make up, and the woman helped Celine dry her face off. That was so sweet!
Not anymore, she is now also promoting evil agendas of Hellywood like Trans (Lucifer can be male, female or BOTH), NWO etc. Thats what sadly Hellywood does to all stars, either they sellout or they can go. Alot of singers and actors have spoken out about the evil ov the industry like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and many others and then they suddenly "died". Hellywood is very occult, always sad to see how these people change for the worse over time in that industry. They use actors and singers to manipulate the masses. You like your idols/false idols and then immitate and believe them. Thats how it also started that women started to wear pants (mens clothing), having short hair (masculine), being dominant etc. etc. Trying to blur the line between male and female.
@@crusher1980 wow your rant escalated quickly. As a woman, I will continue wearing pants. You’re crazy if you think in 2022 women should still only be allowed to wear skirts. Go back to the hole you crawled out of. You’re probably a man. You sound awfully self righteous.
@Cheeky _moon. Irish people are nice and kind.
This moment was beginning of making one of the best artists of world!!!!!!!
Totally!
Well, more like the end of her first chapter.
when i listened "FINALLY FRANCE" woahhhhhhhh, amazing crowds
The audience is so grownup and serious. Times have changed from these days. I graduated this year from high school. :) Well sung.
Celine still talks about Eurovison to this day and what it means to her. Especially when she performs in Ireland. She spoke on stage here many times that it was a magical night and Dublin was her lucky charm 🍀 Eurovision was the start of her international career as an artist, and also the night her and Renee became "close" for the first time romantically. She says she will always hold ireland close to her heart ❤
She had a miracle right there - coming back from 14 points lag to winning with only 3 juries
I actually can't believe that Celine Dion was on the Eurovision Song Contest!! It must have been after this that she became SO FAMOUS!! Well done Celine! xx
Celine took one year off after she won the contest came to the US went to school to learn English changed her look and recorded her next big hit where does my heart beat now.
Hello! she was a STAR in Québec long times before eurovision! she become international artist when she sing Beauty and the best and Titanic movies songs! she was discovery by U.S.A when she sing at the tv show of Jay Leno, Johnny Carson and Oprah Windfrey!
She’s so pretty!! She is the greatest singer in the world❤❤❤❤❤! I hope she gets well soon!
Celine won Eurovision in 1998. Ten years later in 1998, she was a star in all the world and was the singer of the song of the biggest film of all time
Then she was groomed by her manager, her parents weren't too concerned because they knew she would be a millionaire. Celine herself became conditioned to the trauma and stayed in the marriage, the music industry and media were complicit in this coercion with a minor and made it all appear normal to the citizens who were too dumbed down to consider that grooming actually went on. She became a star, and all that glitter and glamour was all the people needed to blissfully ignore that children like Celine were fodder for the music industry... And if she were honest with herself today, she would admit she was groomed. Very sad indeed.
@@roseyk7677 I didn't know this story, but learning that she was 12 when they met (and he was obviously A LOT older) does feel... icky. But at that time I wouldn't be surprised if it happened all the time. I do hope we as a society won't accept that nowadays, and see the signs as early as possible.
@@thespankmyfrank Very true...I agree, I think it happened a lot and still does today.
People forget lara Fabian was in that contest that year. The only lady in 2023 with their history to dine at celines6table,... and it works both ways!!!@
Oh so grooming is actually not a bad thing. She has her amazing cereer, amazing life, and an amazing love life. And you who have never been groomed with your pathetic and bitter life
I still remember how me and my family sat in front of the TV in Sweden and were so happy when Switzerland won. Ne partez pas sans moi was our favourite. It was the first time that I saw the entire Eurovision show and didn’t fall asleep during the voting. I was 10 back then.
Are you and your family Swiss Jabol?
@@nathancoleman8413 No, l come from Sweden but I remember that Sweden was quite low on the scoreboard that year and had no chance of winning so we kept our fingers crossed for Switzerland and Céline because we loved the song. I actually also remember that my mom said ”that’s the winner this year” when the countries’ songs were previewed on Swedish TV the week before the Eurovision final. We recorded an audio tape from the radio broadcast of the Eurovision but not a video tape. I listened to the audio one over and over again and and remembered that wonderful singer dressed in white. Ne partez pas sans moi and Céline actually meant a lot to me. Thanks to them I chose to learn French at school and it also made me very interested in Switzerland where I later also lived for a couple of years. They also made me a huge Eurovision fan. But even after almost 35 years, Céline’s song is my all time favourite.
@@Gajol1000 I see,that's very interesting indeed.
I remember the same in Quebec.
I'm from Portugal. I was 14, back then. My sister used to make her own chart and guessing who would win, ahaha!
I remember watching Céline in an interview around the time that she did Beauty and the Beast. She was so in awe of meeting all the big celebrities of the day and was so humble. Today, three decades later, she is still humble and professional. From her French Canadian heritage, she is very hospitable and supportive of singers that sing with her. That is the key to her popularity.
I love her singing in French. My native tongue is Spanish, a Romance language, so I can relate very well to her Romance-French.
I remember when Celine met Barbra Streisand. She was overwhelmed and so nervous . They are both my favourite singers of all time!
I've never seen anyone look so happy to win Eurovision
From é beginning till date, Celine hasn’t change a bit. Her amazing voice, her beautiful heart; still a truly humble star she is.

Celine was wonderful for such a young girl to have got so far so young,her talent got her there well done to her then 🌹❤️🌺💝
Same here. Glad my country decided the winner. Btw i started wathing Eurovision in 1982
Sweet Celine, she is so polite, has a beautiful voice and she's quite unique.
The public was not as annoying then. I miss those days.. they respectfully clap and then lets her sing. Not shouting and disturbing.
Very different indeed. Men wearing tux, formal dresses for the ladies, the orchestra right next to the stage - very elegant. I love to see the hosts being polite and dignified, not shouting like idiots ("helloooooooo Eurooooooooope!")
We still listen to it. In France, there is a famous show called Star academy where the participants always sing it as intro
Oh my gosh.. The strength and range of her voice. We are all the better because of her gift.❤️
Little did people that night realise how big off a singer Celine would become in both English French music
WE THE POPULATION (ME) OF QUÉBEC ! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! MONSIEUR!
Magnifique!!
I can't believe how kind the hosts are, they're absolutely lovely. And I'm so happy to see they made jokes back then too with the "Agatha Christie wrote the script tonight" line
But at the end he says the winner, losers..."participants" wouldn't have hurt as an alternative 😅

Must have been thrilling that your country decided the outcome!

They had no idea what an icon she became
I remember watching the scoring live and how excited I was. I loved Celine Dion's performance, but I was particularly moved by Scott Fitzgerald's interpretation.
the begining of her world conquest ! bravo celine
Whitney Houston and Celine Dion will always be my top 2 favorite singers. I learned how to sing at 3 years old with Whitney Houston's songs then later Celine's as well.
And a star was born! She was the most amazing vocalist back then and she still is now!
And I don’t understand why Cèline didn’t want to talk or remember anything about ESC, I mean, it’s a huge Event and very popular not only in Europe, all around the world, if I have the opportunity to be in that stage will be a memory for life 🎉 Cèline have one of the best voices in history ❤
Where did she say that? It's possible nobody in Canada or the US has ever asked her about it, barely anybody there heard of Eurovision til the last few years (and it's still niche).
If I were in the same competition as Celine Dion and Lara Fabian I would vote for a repeat of the competition to hear their voices again... Especially Celine with her beautiful, powerful and unmistakable voice! 
Oh my god love celine dion ... remember this night so much
C'était Magnifique! Innoubliable! Grâce aux votes de la Yougoslavie :)
