[VIDEO] Eurovision Song Contest 1957 - Full Show (No commentary)

The Eurovision Song Contest 1957 was the second Eurovision Song Contest and was held on Sunday 3 March 1957 in Frankfurt-am-Main. Like the first contest, this one was still mainly a radio programme, but there was a noticeable increase in the number of people with televisions.



It was won by the Netherlands with "Net als toen", performed by Corry Brokken. For some time, a rumour had existed that the privilege of hosting the 1957 contest was given to Germany because they had come in second place in 1956 with "Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück" by Walter Andreas Schwarz. In fact, not only were the official 1956 scores withheld, but the rule stating that the winning nation hosts the next year's Eurovision Song Contest had not yet been conceived. It was planned at the time that each participating country would take it in turns to host the event. However, as more countries wished to participate, this became impractical.
