The Eurovision Song Contest 1984 was the 29th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 5 May 1984 in the {{lang|fr|Théâtre Municipal|i=unset}} in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|fr|Radio Télévision Luxembourg|i=unset}} (RTL), the contest was held in Luxembourg following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1983||1983 contest}} with the song "{{lang|fr|Si la vie est cadeau|i=unset}}" by Corinne Hermès. The event was presented by Désirée Nosbusch, who, at 19 years old, remains the youngest person to have hosted the contest {{as of|2024|lc=y}}.

Nineteen countries participated in the contest, with {{esccnty|Ireland}} returning after a one-year absence, and {{esccnty|Greece}} and {{esccnty|Israel}}, which had participated in the previous year's event, declining to enter. The winner was {{esccnty|Sweden|y=1984}} with the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley", composed by Torgny Söderberg, written by Britt Lindeborg and performed by the group Herreys. This was Sweden's second contest victory, coming ten years after ABBA's win in the {{escyr|1974||1974 contest}}. Ireland finished as runner-up, {{esccnty|Spain|y=1984}} and {{esccnty|Denmark|y=1984}} placed third and fourth, respectively, and {{esccnty|Belgium|y=1984}} and {{esccnty|Italy|y=1984}} tied for fifth place.

The 1984 contest took place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1983||1983 contest}} with the song "{{lang|fr|Si la vie est cadeau|i=unset}}" performed by Corinne Hermès.

The theatre's main auditorium usually holds an audience around 950 people, however this was reduced with the addition of technical equipment and commentator's boxes.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=200–201}} As a result, only press, members of each country's delegation and diplomatic representatives were allowed to watch the live show at the venue.

Production and format

The Eurovision Song Contest 1984 was produced by the Luxembourgish public broadcaster {{lang|fr|Radio Télévision Luxembourg|i=unset}} (RTL). Ray van Cant served as executive producer, {{ill|Hubert Terheggen|nl}} served as producer, René Steichen served as director, {{ill|Roland de Groot|nl}} served as designer, and Pierre Cao served as musical director, leading the orchestra.{{Cite web |title=Luxembourg 1984 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/luxembourg-1984 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531032406/https://eurovision.tv/event/luxembourg-1984 |archive-date=31 May 2022 |access-date=11 April 2024 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU)}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|p=211}} A separate musical director could be nominated by each country to lead the orchestra during their performance, with the host musical director also available to conduct for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=202–208}} On behalf of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the event was overseen by Frank Naef as scrutineer.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|p=211}}{{cite web |title=The Organisers behind the Eurovision Song Contest |date=27 March 2019 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/organisers |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=31 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240925231140/https://eurovision.tv/about/organisers |archive-date=25 September 2024 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Former Eurovision scrutineer Frank Naef shares his backstage recollections |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/former-eurovision-scrutineer-frank-naef-shares-his-backstage-recollections |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=1 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513210954/https://eurovision.tv/story/former-eurovision-scrutineer-frank-naef-shares-his-backstage-recollections |archive-date=13 May 2018 |date=10 February 2017}}{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|p=210}} The overall costs to organise the event were around 35 million Luxembourgish francs.{{cite news |last=Owing |first=Nina |title=600 millioner ser Dollie i kveld |url=https://www.nb.no/items/53e433ee668a6ecb82cbc98b0afe7633?page=5 |access-date=19 December 2024 |work=Rana Blad |date=5 May 1984 |page=6 |location=Mo i Rana, Norway |language=no |via=National Library of Norway}}

Each participating broadcaster submitted one song, which was required to be no longer than three minutes in duration and performed in the language, or one of the languages, of the country which it represented.{{cite web |title=How it works |date=18 May 2019 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/how-it-works |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531032850/https://eurovision.tv/about/how-it-works |archive-date=31 May 2022 |language=en-gb |url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Jerusalem 1999 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/jerusalem-1999 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=29 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621202249/https://eurovision.tv/event/jerusalem-1999 |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-status=live}} A maximum of six performers were allowed on stage during each country's performance.{{cite web |title=The Rules of the Contest |date=31 October 2018 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=24 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004011300/https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |archive-date=4 October 2022 |url-status=live}} Each entry could utilise all or part of the live orchestra and could use instrumental-only backing tracks, however any backing tracks used could only include the sound of instruments featured on stage being mimed by the performers.{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=#EurovisionAgain travels back to Dublin 1997 |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/eurovisionagain-dublin-1997 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=24 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523190024/https://eurovision.tv/story/eurovisionagain-dublin-1997 |archive-date=23 May 2022 |date=18 April 2020 |url-status=live}}

The results of the 1984 contest were determined through the same scoring system as had first been introduced in {{escyr|1975}}: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.{{cite web |title=In a Nutshell |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=8 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626052301/https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |archive-date=26 June 2022 |date=31 March 2017 |url-status=dead}} The points awarded by each country were determined by an assembled jury of 11 individuals, who were all required to be members of the public with no connection to the music industry, with a recommendation that there should be a balance between the sexes and that half should be under 25 years old. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and five votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs in the top ten received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=208–210}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2014|pp=189–193}}

Rehearsals for the participating artists began on 30 April 1984. Two technical rehearsals were conducted for each participating delegation in the week approaching the contest, with countries rehearsing in the order in which they would perform. The first rehearsals of 40 minutes were held on 30 April and 1 May 1984, followed by a press conference for each delegation and the accredited press. Each country's second rehearsals were held on 2 and 3 May and lasted 20 minutes total. Three dress rehearsals were held with all artists, two held in the afternoon and evening of 4 May and one final rehearsal in the afternoon of 5 May, with an invited audience present for the second dress rehearsal.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=200–201}}

Dutch designer Roland de Groot was in charge of the set design of the contest for the fourth time, having previously done so {{escyr|1970}}, {{escyr|1976}}, and {{escyr|1980}}, the three previous contests staged in the Netherlands. For the 1984 contest, de Groot's design centred around various shapes which were suspended over the performance area on a series of pulleys and which could be moved around the stage in between the competing acts; this allowed for different backdrops to be created for each entry.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=96–99}} Each entry was preceded by a video postcard which served as an introduction to that country, as well as creating a transition between entries to allow stage crew to make changes on stage.{{cite web |last1=Egan |first1=John |title=All Kinds of Everything: a history of Eurovision Postcards |url=https://escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Insight |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524073150/http://www.escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=24 May 2015 |date=22 May 2015 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last1=Kurris |first1=Denis |title=Eurovision 2022: The theme of this year's Eurovision postcards |url=https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Plus |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501103821/https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=1 May 2022 |date=1 May 2022 |url-status=live}} The postcards for the 1984 contest featured a troupe of actors referred to during the contest as "the Tourists", and focused on the various cultural stereotypes of each of the competing countries and portrayed these a humorous context, often with heavy use of computer animation.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=96–99}}

The 1984 contest featured one of the first instances of booing to be heard at the Eurovision Song Contest, which occurred immediately after the UK's entry. Various reasons for the booing have been proposed: these include being a response to football hooliganism which occurred in Luxembourg by English football fans during the qualifying stage of the 1984 European Championship, the use of off-stage backing vocalists during the UK's performance which gave an impression that members of Belle and the Devotions were lip syncing, and allegations that their song, "Love Games", which was heavily inspired by 1960s Motown tracks, had plagiarised previous tracks by the Supremes.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=96–99}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=202–208}}

The winner was {{esccnty|Sweden|y=1984}} represented by the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley", composed by Torgny Söderberg, written by Britt Lindeborg and performed by Herreys, comprising brothers Per, Richard and Louis Herrey.{{Cite web |title=Luxembourg 1984 – Herrey's |url=https://eurovision.tv/participant/herrey-s |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929072132/https://eurovision.tv/participant/herrey-s |archive-date=29 September 2022 |access-date=3 April 2024 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU)}} It was Sweden's second contest win, ten years after ABBA's victory in {{escyr|1974}}.{{Cite web |title=Sweden – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/sweden |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231127082455/https://eurovision.tv/country/sweden |archive-date=27 November 2023 |access-date=3 April 2024 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU)}} It was also the third{{snd}}and, {{as of|2024|lc=y}}, last{{snd}}time that the winning entry was the first to be performed, following the {{escyr|1975}} and {{escyr|1976||1976 contests}}.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=208–210}}{{cite web |title=Museum Monday Week Three: Herrey's |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/museum-monday-week-three-herrey-s |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=19 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513071229/https://eurovision.tv/story/museum-monday-week-three-herrey-s |archive-date=13 May 2018 |date=13 June 2016 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=The winner always comes from the second half? |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/the-winner-always-comes-from-the-second-half |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=19 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200415100159/https://eurovision.tv/story/the-winner-always-comes-from-the-second-half |archive-date=15 April 2020 |date=17 October 2019 |url-status=live}} During the traditional winner's reprise performance, the group sung part of the winning song in English, with lyrics written by Per Herrey.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|p=210}}

Broadcasts<span class="anchor" id="Broadcasters and commentators"></span>

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". 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 viewers.
