International song competition
The Eurovision Song Contest 1973 was the 18th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Luxembourg City , Luxembourg , following the country's victory at the 1972 contest with the song "Après toi " by Vicky Leandros . Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion Grand Théâtre Helga Guitton .
Seventeen countries took part in the contest this year, with Austria and Malta deciding not to participate, and Israel competing for the first time.
In a back-to-back victory, Luxembourg won the contest again with the song "Tu te reconnaîtras Anne-Marie David . The voting was a very close one, with Spain with "Eres tú " by Mocedades finishing only 4 points behind and the United Kingdom with "Power to All Our Friends " by Cliff Richard (who had come second in 1968 just behind Spain) another 2 points further back. The winning song scored the highest score ever achieved in Eurovision under any voting format until 1975, recording 129 points out of a possible 160, which represented almost 81% of the possible maximum. This was partly due to a scoring system which guaranteed all countries at least two points from each country.[1]
Location [ edit ]
Grand Théâtre
Luxembourg City is a commune with city status , and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg . It is located at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse Rivers in southern Luxembourg. The city contains the historic Luxembourg Castle , established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages , around which a settlement developed.

Participating countries [ edit ]
Seventeen nations took part in this year's contest. Israel participated for the first time, while Austria and Malta decided against participating. Malta had originally being drawn to perform in sixth position between Norway and Monaco, however the Maltese broadcaster withdrew before the deadline to select an entry.[4]
The language rule forcing countries to enter songs sung in any of their national languages was dropped this year, so performers from some countries sang in English.
Returning artists [ edit ]
Contest overview [ edit ]
In light of the events that had happened during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, there were fears of a terrorist threat, particularly directed against Israel's first-ever entrant, leading to unusually tight security for the contest. This gave rise to one of the best-known Eurovision anecdotes, frequently recounted by the UK's long-serving commentator Terry Wogan . He recalled that the floor manager strongly advised the audience to remain seated while applauding the performances, otherwise they risked being shot by security forces.[9]
This contest holds the record for the most watched Eurovision Song Contest in the United Kingdom , and is also the 18th most watched television show in the same country, with an estimated 21.54 million tuning in on the night. Cliff Richard represented the UK Power to All Our Friends ". He came 3rd with 123 points. The winner though was Anne-Marie David with "Tu te reconnaîtras
Detailed voting results [ edit ]
Each country had two jury members, one aged between 16 and 25 and one aged between 26 and 55. They each awarded 1 to 5 points for each song (other than the song from their own country) immediately after it was performed and the votes were collected and counted as soon as they were cast. The juries watched the show on TV from the Ville du Louvigny TV Studios of CLT and appeared on screen to confirm their scores.
10 points [ edit ]
Below is a summary of all perfect 10 scores that were given during the voting.
Broadcasts [ edit ]
Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers.[13]
Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below. In addition to the participating countries, the contest was also reportedly broadcast in Austria, Greece, Iceland, Malta and Turkey, in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union via Intervision , and in Japan.[4]
