Celine Dion won Eurovision for Switzerland in 1988 with this song..that's a pretty big deal (if you are into Eurovision like me ):

The greatest song ever to be performed on Eurovision was "L'amour Est Bleu" sung by Vicky Leandros representing Luxembourg in '67. The fact it came in fourth only proves that Eurovision isn't what it's all cracked up to be.

Vicky - L'amour Est Bleu - ESC 1967


A close second place GOAT (greatest of all time) Eurovision song would be Waterloo by ABBA, which won the contest in '74. Third GOAT Eurosong would be Françoise Hardy '63 entry. They are probably the only Eurovision entries I really know of, so it's a very bias list. But any other song besides I'd ever from Eurovision was very blah to me.
