Tivoli Garden in Copenhagen hosted the 9th Eurovision on March 21, 1964. Sweden stayed home but Portugal joined. With the 1956 contest this is the only that has no footage saved. A demostrator managed to run to the stage and show a sign with "Boycott Franco and Salazar", the first and last time something like this happens (or is it? I saw in Helsinki that some crazy girl almost got to the stage while The Ark was performing....) This time the juries gave 5 points to their favourite, 3 to the second and 1 to the third BUT if they all agreed on the winner it got all 9 points. 16-year-old fresh Sanremo winner Gigliola Cinquetti charmed everyone and scored 65% of all available votes beating UK's Matt Munro 49-17. She would went on to conquer the world, get beaten by ABBA in 1974 and present the 1991 Eurovision in Rome.
Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?
