Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 1958

The juries were located in their respective countries, giving their points over the phone already in 1957.

Error in the article
There's an error in the article. According to the Voting structure, "each country had 10 jury members who each decided the best song and each awarded 1 point." This would mean that 10 points per country were given. However, according to the Score sheet, the Swiss jury gave 1+1+1+1+3+1+1+0+2=11 points. The error is probably made with Denmark, who have received 4 points in the Score sheet, but 3 points in the Results. All the other scores are correct. A ecis Brievenbus 01:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Is this right?
Am I missing something? It says unlike 1956 and 1957 countries were only allowed to enter one song. But looking at 1957, there is only one song per country.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 19:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Removal of relevant content
The following paragraph... "After the contest, the Italian entry "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu" (more commonly known as "Volare") by Domenico Modugno went on to becoming a worldwide hit and to date, it is one of the most successful Eurovision songs in the history of the Contest. The entry managed to reach the No.1 spot in the US-American Billboard Charts and was also awarded three Grammies."

has been removed twice by with no reasons in their edit summary to validate why it is being removed. I have twice now reinstated the content, and left a notice on the users talk page to seek why they remove the content, with a request to bring the discussion over to this talk page.

It would be appreciative if members of the projects relating to this article participated in the discussion. Many regards, Wesley ♦Mouse 13:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

An Unneccesarry Paragraph and a Contradiction!
Here's a bit from the Format section:


 * "The Italian entry was not picked up properly in some of the other countries, which meant that after all the other songs had been presented, Domenico Modugno had to sing it again. Later on, it became very successful in the United States, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards. It is one of few Eurovision songs that has reached No. 1 in the US singles charts. At the 50th anniversary show "Congratulations" in 2005, it was elected the 2nd best Eurovision entry ever."

On one hand, that paragraph (starting from the second sentence) has no place in the Format section. On the other hand, it still is very relevant to the article. I decided to remove it as the same information is repeated in the Participating Countries section, where it is more appropriate.

When I saw the info in the Participating Countries section, though, it said that Volare won three Grammy awards when it had only won two. The Eurovision website is unfortunately mistaken, so I took a bit from the Volare (song) page to replace it. Sang&#39;gre Habagat (talk) 05:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
