Clearly he's the greatest popular musician of the 20th century and I wish him well in his future endeavours especially marriage to that lovely tennis player Martina

Yes, "SIR" Cliff was likely robbed and he`s in good Eurovision company, the best songs/bands seldom win.

He didn't deserve to win and I expect none of the other entrants did either.
08 May 2008- no
Who cares anyway, the Eurovision song contest is a farce. What is daylight robbery is people like Mr C. Richards getting paid copyright for 50 years, when they were grossly overpaid for their original work in the first place. Most of us get paid once, whilst those with so called "artistic ability" have their noses in the trough for decades - that's the real crime!

However I was robbed in 1968. Bless me, yes so I was. I was in one of me favourite Parisian hangouts and I was distracted while my jewel bag was lifted. Anyway thankfully they only got away with half the prize.

No. The Spanish song was far more catchyer and hummable with fewer words. Cliff looked a bit odd in his trouser suit and bobbed up and down like a puppet on a string. More to the point, all future Euro songs should be sung in their native language and not americanised english.

A big, big Y E S!The song is a big success anyway, if La, La, La is indeed a better song than Congratulations, it should have been a hit song not only in Europe but all over the world.
I don't see it a choice song in videokes or minus one for all the people to sing!
More power to our Sir Cliff Richard, hope to see and talk to you in person. God Bless You!

I think British culture has been robbed to some extent by the very presence of Cliff Richard
