The Eurovision Song Contest 1984 was the 29th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 5, 1984 in Luxembourg. The presenter was Désirée Nosbusch. Nosbusch, only 19 years old at the time, hosted the show in a lax manner, which was quite unusual for this show back then. She manifested her fluency in four languages when she switched between English, French, German and Luxemburgish in the course of her speech. The Herreys were the winners of this Eurovision with the song, Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley. Their "golden shoes" have become a pop-cult classic since their win in 1984.

Israel withdrew from the contest due to a local memorial day commemorated on the same date. The YouTube website has a performance of the song Balalaika by Ilanit which is claimed to have been the prospective Israeli entry for 1984.

Voting structure

Each country had a jury that awarded 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points for their top ten songs.

At the close of the penultimate jury's votes, there was only a difference of six points between Sweden and Ireland (141 and 135 respectively). However, the last jury, Portugal, gave Ireland only 2 points, thus crushing their chances of winning. Portugal's voting also cost Denmark, who had been lying on a very strong 3rd position, and even leading the score board for a short time, its 3rd place, when Portugal's 12 lifted Spain from 94 to 106 points, while Portugal at the same time had only given Denmark one point making Denmark's total 101 points. Despite of this, this was Denmark's best position in over 20 years.
