1988 : The Hothouse Flowers – Don’t Go
There have been some pretty memorable interval acts. Who can forget Riverdance in 1994? Or the amazing camerawork and cinematography of the interval act of Norway 1996? Or the Madcon Flashmob of 2009?
There have also been some pretty awful ones too - yes I mean you, Guy Tell and your piss poor “arrow through an apple on my head” act – where 10 mins was wasted by him setting up the rebounds and balloons on the arrows - whereby the final important arrow actually missed the apple significantly… (even though Swiss Tv tried to fool us by shoing us the slo-mo replay of your rehearsal, which DID work)
This was probably the interval act I most clearly remember as a kid.
OK, I know it is literally just an extended pop video but it felt relevant at the time. It served a purpose, espeiclaly at a time then Europe was 'coming together' and this fact was being ever exploited. It was also catchy and fun.
It comes to a point where the most memorable performance or song is the one that is not actually in the contest XD
