Eurovision Song Contest 1973
The Eurovision Song Contest 1973 was the eighteenth Eurovision and was held on April 7, 1973 in Luxembourg. With Helga Guitton as the presenter, the contest was won by Anne-Marie David who represented Luxembourg, with her song "Tu Te Reconnaitras".
The language rule that only allowed countries to enter songs that were sung in any of their national languages was dropped, this led to some countries to sing in English.
The event was marked with a scandal as the Spanish song, Eres Tu, was accused of plagiarism due to suggestions that it was merely a rewrite of the Yugoslav) entry from the 1966 contest (Brez besed sung by Berta Ambro?). Eres Tu was not disqualified; it has been suggested that this may have been for political reasons, as Franco's Spain was seen as more part of the European mainstream than Tito's Yugoslavia.
