For all those people who are interested in the Eurovision Song Contest, here are the results for 1998.
The 1998 Eurovision Song Contest was held, at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, United Kingdom on Saturday 9 May 1998. Presented by Terry Wogan and Ulrika Johnson.
All of the countries involved had televoting, except for Romania and Hungary.
Please Note : Due to Spain's error in their televoting the scores were amended. The reason why was that the German entry had 3000 votes and not 300 as first thought.
(*) Indicate that the country was awarded 12 Points. (-1)(-2)(+12) means the score adjustments made due to the errors in the voting from Spain. Germany has gone up a position and Norway dropped. There is no change to the winner. United Kingdom ended up 6 points behind, instead of 7.
