Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radio-télévision belge de la Communauté française (RTBF), the contest was held at the Centenary Palace on 9 May 1987 (also Europe Day) and hosted by French-Belgian singer Viktor Lazlo.

1986 ← Eurovision Song Contest → 1988

Twenty-two countries took part in the contest with Greece and Italy returning to the competition after their absences the previous year. This set the record for the highest number of competing countries up until that point.

The winner was Ireland with the song "Hold Me Now" by Johnny Logan, who had also won the 1980 contest. He remains the only performer to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice.

LocationEdit

 
The Centenary Palace of the Brussels Exhibition Centre, host venue of the 1987 contest

The contest took place at the Brussels Exhibition Centre (Brussels Expo) in Brussels, Belgium. These are a set of exhibition halls built from 1930 on the Heysel/Heizel Plateau (Heysel Park) in Laeken (northern part of the City of Brussels) to celebrate the centenary of Belgian Independence. The Centenary Palace (French: Palais du Centenaire, Dutch: Eeuwfeestpaleis), where the main stage was located, is one of the remaining buildings of the Brussels International Exposition of 1935. Currently, it is still being used for trade fairs, as well as concerts, usually for bigger acts and artists.

FormatEdit

Host broadcaster ruleEdit

Belgium has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 30 times since making its debut as one of seven countries at the first contest in 1956. Before Sandra Kim won, Belgium was the one with the worst historical record, being the only one not to have won the contest. The country only twice finished the festival in the top five:Tonia's fourth place in 1966, and in 1978,when Jean Vallée achieved Belgium's first top-three placement. Despite being the big favorite in bookmakers, the Belgian victory in Bergen the previous year was controversial because the age of the contestant was unknown. Since the start of voting with an early and consolidated win with 172 points, Belgium ended a wait of exactly 30 years and finally became the last country of the 7 founders of the contest to win its first triumph, but the internal situation in the country was so complex that it was a separate chapter in the history of the contest until then and spilled directly into the organization of the next edition.

Sandra Kim's Eurovision victory in 1986 occurred amidst a complex political situation in Belgium: In the 1980s, the country was undergoing massive constitutional reforms in which the Belgian state was no longer centralized and unitary, instead being transformed into a decentralized and federative system. This was due to rising tensions between the two major linguistic regions of Belgium, Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia. Both regions had had independent broadcasters since 1960 (BRT in Flanders and RTBF in Wallonia) but had still agreed to jointly host the contest in the event of a Belgian victory. While the triumph of "J'aime la vie" in 1986 – an entry sent by French-speaking RTBF – reignited a sense of national union across all Belgian regions, the two regional broadcasters weren't able to overcome their disagreements and joint host the competition .[1] During the production of the event, BRT eventually withdrew from the project and RTBF organised the contest alone as host broadcaster .[2] BRT remained in charge of the selection of the Belgian entry for the contest, up until 1993. Thirty-three years later, in her academic study "Which Belgium Won Eurovision? European Unity and Belgian Disunity" published in 2019, the scholar Julie Kalman describes how, as a consequence, the host country images in Eurovision 1987 mostly showed footage of Wallonia.[3]

Host city selection processEdit

Locations of the considered venues: the chosen venue is marked in blue, while the eliminated locations are marked in red.

During the process to choose the host city and the venue, a joint committee was created and had members from both broadcasting companies. The committee decided that a potential place for the contest was the Royal Theatre of Antwerp, as both locations proposed by RTBF (the Palais du Centenaire in Brussels and the Patinoire de Coronmeuse [fr] in Liege) would have required a large amount of heavy renovation work to meet the proposed date for the contest. Nevertheless, RTBF demanded the event had to be held in Brussels with the argument that the city had a symbolism in several areas that transcend Belgium itself, in addition to its headquarters and the federal functions as the capital of the country. Additionally, almost all the bodies of the European Union were also located there. Due to these unique features, Brussels fit perfectly as the host city, with the probable date for the contest being European Day (May 9th). On 6 October 1986, 7 months and three days before the contest, RTBF surprisingly and one-sidedly announced that the Palais du Centenaire was chosen as the host venue for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1987. The Flemish leading newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, published that BRT proposed instead to host the contest at the Cirque Royal, near the Royal Palace of Brussels, adding that RTBF would be solely in charge of organizing the contest if BRT's counteroffer was not chosen. However, RTBF moved forward with the plans and confirmed that the Palais du Centenaire was the official contest's host venue.[1] BRT was offended by the choice of Brussels as the host city, and withdrew from the organization, but kept the duties to choose the host's country contestant.

BudgetEdit

Holding the contest in Belgium caused several legal changes in the country system and forced the implementation of most of the modern rules and regulations on the monetization of public television. This led to the authorization of the use of advertising, sponsorships and marketing actions in the two public channels in the country. As a consequence, the RTBF was also allowed to sell sponsorship quotas for the event, setting a new precedent for the Eurovision Song Contest. This was because the available budget decreased with the departure of BRT. For the RTBF, this decision was a relief, as the event was almost entirely with private funds, with no money from the local population. For the sponsors, this was very beneficial, as their brands appeared for millions of people throughout most of the event. This opened the doors to the commercial potential of the event itself, starting a period of modernization and increased interest for the event.[4] Apart from the latent tensions, after the end of the contest, the then-BRT President Cas Goossens praised RTBF for their "perfect organization" while at the same time regretting that the two broadcasters weren't able to collaborate. He added that the cost of hosting Eurovision would have been difficult to justify to the Flemish taxpayers.[1]

Contest overviewEdit

The 1987 Eurovision was the biggest contest to date, and it was also the first in which 22 countries competed. Only Malta, Monaco and Morocco failed to compete out of all the countries which had entered the contest in the past. The large number of participating countries caused some problems for the EBU, which ranged from the available dates for the rehearsals to the readjustment of the duration of the televised finale. Due to this situation, after the contest, the EBU set the limit of participating countries to 22. This was a problematic question over the next five years as new and returning nations indicated an interest in participating, but they could not be accommodated.[5]

During the national selection period, a lot of controversy erupted in Israel after their song, "Shir Habatlanim" by the Lazy Bums, was selected. The comedic duo performance was criticised by the country's culture minister, who threatened to resign should the duo proceed to Brussels. After fierce discussion, they were allowed to perform for Israel, placing eighth; however the culture minister's threat was left unfulfilled.[5]

Another controversy happened when the singer Viktor Lazlo was invited to be the contest presenter. With a few days delay, she agreed to sign the contract, but added a clause related to the fact that she would have to perform with a song from her repertoire as she was releasing a new album at that time. The chosen song was the lead single from that album, namely "Breathless".
