The Eurovision Song Contest 1962, originally known as the Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Langx[1]), was the 7th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 18 March 1962 at the Script error: No such module "Lang". of Villa Louvigny in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, and presented by Mireille Delannoy. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Script error: No such module "Lang". (CLT), who staged the event after winning the Template:Escyr for Template:Esccnty with the song "Nous les amoureux" by Jean-Claude Pascal. Broadcasters from sixteen countries participated in the contest, with the same line-up of countries as at the previous year.

For the third time in five years the winner was Template:Esccnty with the song "Script error: No such module "Lang".", composed by Template:Ill, written by Roland Valade and performed by Isabelle Aubret. Template:Esccnty placed second for the first time, while the host nation came third, resulting in French-language songs occupying all of the top three positions. For the first time in the contest's history an entry received nul points from all juries, with Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, the Template:Esccnty, and Template:Esccnty all receiving zero points overall.

The 1962 contest took place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, following the country's victory at the Template:Escyr with the song "Script error: No such module "Lang"." performed by Jean-Claude Pascal. It was the first time that Luxembourg had hosted the event.[2][3] The chosen venue was the Villa Louvigny, situated within the city's Municipal Park in the Ville Haute quarter of the city centre, which served as the headquarters of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (CLT), the Luxembourgish public broadcaster.[3][4] The contest itself was held in the building's Script error: No such module "Lang"..[2][5]

There was no change in the participants line-up for the first time, with no new countries joining the event and the same sixteen countries which had competed in 1961 returning for 1962.[2]Template:Sfn

Four artists in this year's event had previously participated in past contests: Template:Esccnty's Camillo Felgen and Template:Esccnty's François Deguelt competed for their respective countries for the second time after both appearing in the Template:Escyr;[6][7] Jean Philippe, representing Template:Esccnty at this event, also participated for the second time, after previously competing for Template:Esccnty in Template:Escyr;[8] and Fud Leclerc made his fourth contest appearance for Template:Esccnty, following past entries in Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr and 1960.[9] Philippe became the first artist to represent two different countries in separate Eurovision Song Contests, while Leclerc became the first of only four acts to compete in four separate contests, alongside Switzerland's Peter, Sue and Marc (Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr); Template:Esccnty's Elisabeth Andreassen (Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr); and Template:Esccnty's Valentina Monetta (Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr, Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr).[8][10]Template:Efn Four other artists competing in this event would go on to compete in the contest on another occasion: the Template:Esccnty's Ronnie Carroll (Template:Escyr);[11] Template:Esccnty's Claudio Villa (Template:Escyr);[12] France's Isabelle Aubret (Template:Escyr);[13] and Template:Esccnty's Marion Rung (Template:Escyr).[14] As a result, half of the competing artists in this year's event had competed, or would eventually compete, in multiple Eurovision Song Contests.

Production and format

The walls are white with gold panelling, with golden chandeliers and sconces; the center of the stage features a two step platform with a black-and-white chequered design with golden panelling around the base; to the left is a green drape separating the stage from the orchestra area; to the back of the stage are white translucent drapes partially covering a painted window scene, what appears to be a snowy view from up high of a crater lake in the middle of a mountain range. Eleonore Schwarz is mid-performance, stood in front of the raised platform in a white dress, singing into a white wired mic in a stand.

The contest was organised and broadcast by CLT.[2] Jos Pauly and René Steichen served as producers and directors, Jean-Paul Conzemius served as designer, and Jean Roderès served as musical director, leading around forty musicians of the Script error: No such module "Lang"..Template:Sfn[16][17] Each participating delegation was allowed to nominate its own musical director to lead the orchestra during the performance of its country's entry, with the host musical director also conducting for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.Template:Sfn The contest was presented by Mireille Delannoy, one of Télé-Luxembourg's regular continuity announcers.[2][5]

Each country, participating through a single EBU member broadcaster, was represented by one song performed by up to two people on stage.[2][18] The results of the event were determined through jury voting; in a change from previous events, each country awarded three points to the jury's collective favourite entry, with two points awarded to the jury's second favourite, and one point given the jury's third favourite.[2]Template:Sfn Each jury comprised ten individuals representing the average television viewer and radio listener; as such no individuals in the music industry, including composers, music publishers, and people employed by record companies, were able to sit on the jury.[17]Template:Sfn

The draw to determine the running order took place on 16 March 1962 in the Villa Louvigny, conducted by Delannoy and assisted by her 4-year-old son Olivier. Rehearsals were held in the contest venue on 17 and 18 March, with two full dress rehearsals scheduled before the live broadcast on the evening of 18 March.[16]

The contest was held at 18 March 1962 at 21:30 (CET) and lasted 1 hour and 27 minutes.Template:Sfn[19] Held on a Sunday, this is the last time that the contest's grand final was not held on a Saturday.Template:Sfn The interval act was a performance by the French clown Achille Zavatta, in a skit as the contest's seventeenth participant representing "Zavattaland".[5][20]Template:Sfn The prize for the winning artist and songwriters—a medallion engraved with the figure of a winged lion, the heraldic animal of CLT, and designed by Template:Ill—was presented by the previous year's winning artist Jean-Claude Pascal.[17][20]Template:Sfn[21]

The contest suffered from two power failures which impacted the broadcast of the event:[2] the first occurred during the Dutch entry, which affected the picture quality and plunged the performance into total darkness for around 30 seconds for some broadcasters;Template:Sfn[22] the second occurred immediately following the French entry as the auditorium went completely dark for around 1 minutes and 30 seconds, leading to broadcasters showing "breakdown" captions on-screen as the issue was resolved and a delay in the performance of the Norwegian entry.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn[22]

The winner was Template:Esccnty represented by the song "Script error: No such module "Lang".", composed by Template:Ill, written by Roland Valade and performed by Isabelle Aubret.[23] This was France's third contest victory in five years, also setting a new record as the first country to win the contest three times.[24][25] Template:Esccnty secured its first second-place finish, while the Template:Esccnty finished in third place;[2][26] the top three positions were therefore all performed in the French language.Template:Sfn Monaco's François Deguelt, who had previously come third in Template:Escyr, became the first of only five artists who have placed second and third in the contest without having won, alongside the UK's Cliff Richard, Template:Esccnty's Katja Ebstein, Template:Esccnty's Chiara Siracusa and Template:Esccnty's Željko Joksimović.[7][27] For the first time in the contest's history an entry scored nul points from all juries; four countries ultimately scored zero points, namely Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty and the Template:Esccnty.[2]Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn

Spokespersons

Each participating broadcaster appointed a spokesperson, connected to the contest venue via telephone lines and responsible for announcing, in English or French, the votes for its respective country.[29][30] Known spokespersons at the 1962 contest are listed below.

Detailed voting results

Jury voting was used to determine the points awarded by all countries. The announcement of the results from each country was conducted in reverse order to that in which each country performed, with the spokespersons announcing their country's points in English or French in descending order.[22]Template:Sfn The detailed breakdown of the points awarded by each country is listed in the tables below, with voting countries listed in the order in which they presented their votes.

The new voting system produced what some consider to be one of the least exciting voting sequences in the contest's history, with France quickly taking the lead and ultimately finishing with double the number of points compared to the runner-up Monegasque entry.[2]Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn With each country only able to award points to three of the potential fifteen countries available, leaving twelve countries without points, the new system also most likely contributed to countries being awarded zero points overall for the first time.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn

Broadcasts

Broadcasters competing in the event were required to relay the contest via its networks; non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest.[33] 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. These commentators were typically sent to the venue to report on the event, and were able to provide commentary from small booths constructed at the back of the venue.[34][35] At least 15 commentators were present at the contest, with an estimated global viewership and listenership of 60 to 100 million reported in the media.[20][36] Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the table below.
