The '''Eurovision Song Contest 1989''' was the 34th edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], held on 6 May 1989 at the {{lang|fr|[[Palais de Beaulieu]]|i=unset}} in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland, and presented by [[Jacques Deschenaux]] and [[Lolita Morena]]. It was organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|fr|[[Télévision Suisse Romande|Télévision suisse romande]]|i=unset}} (TSR) on behalf of the [[Swiss Broadcasting Corporation]] (SRG SSR), who staged the event after winning the {{escyr|1988||1988 contest}} for {{esccnty|Switzerland|y=1988}} with the song "{{lang|fr|[[Ne partez pas sans moi]]|i=unset}}" by [[Céline Dion]].

Broadcasters from twenty-two countries participated in the contest, with {{esccnty|Cyprus}} returning after a one-year absence. Among the participating artists were the two youngest artists to have ever participated in the contest, 12-year-old Gili Netanel and 11-year-old [[Nathalie Pâque]] representing {{esccnty|Israel|y=1989}} and {{esccnty|France|y=1989}}, respectively; the inclusion of the young performers led to some controversy in the run-up to the event, including calls for their exclusion from the contest, and although no action was taken by the organisers of this event it did result in a rule change for the {{escyr|1990||following year's contest}}.

The winner was {{esccnty|Yugoslavia|y=1989}} with the song "[[Rock Me (Riva song)|Rock Me]]", composed by [[Rajko Dujmić]], written by Stevo Cvikić and performed by the group [[Riva (band)|Riva]]. This was Yugoslavia's first contest victory in twenty-four attempts. The {{esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1989}}, {{esccnty|Denmark|y=1989}}, {{esccnty|Sweden|y=1989}}, and {{esccnty|Austria|y=1989}} rounded out the top five positions; the United Kingdom and Denmark placed second and third respectively for a second consecutive year, and Austria finished in the top five for the first time since {{esccnty|Austria|y=1976|t=1976}}. {{esccnty|Finland|y=1989}} gained its best result since {{esccnty|Finland|y=1975|t=1975}}, while {{esccnty|Ireland|y=1989}} and {{esccnty|Iceland|y=1989}} achieved its worst ever placings to date, placing eighteenth and twenty-second respectively, with Iceland ultimately earning ''[[nul points]]'' and coming last for the first time.

The 1989 contest took place in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland, following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1988||1988 contest}} with the song "{{lang|fr|[[Ne partez pas sans moi]]|i=unset}}" performed by [[Céline Dion]]. It was the second time that Switzerland had hosted the event, following the {{escyr|1956||inaugural edition}} of the contest held in 1956 in [[Lugano]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Switzerland – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/switzerland |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=24 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621202242/https://eurovision.tv/country/switzerland |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The chosen venue was the {{lang|fr|[[Palais de Beaulieu]]|i=unset}}, a convention and exhibition centre. The contest took place in the Hall 7 of the {{lang|fr|Palais|i=unset}}, also known as the {{lang|fr|Halle des Fêtes|i=unset}}, which was temporarily renamed {{lang|fr|Salle [[Lys Assia]]}} in honour of Switzerland's first Eurovision winning artist.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}<ref name="Nouvelliste">{{cite news |title=Finale 1989 du concours Eurovision de la chanson à Lausanne: Une opération délicate |trans-title=1989 Eurovision Song Contest final in Lausanne: A delicate operation |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=NVE19881124-01.2.98.1 |access-date=9 December 2023 |work=[[Le Nouvelliste (Valais)|Nouvelliste et Feuille d'Avis du Valais]] |date=24 November 1988 |location=[[Sion, Switzerland|Sion]], Switzerland |language=fr |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]]}}</ref> An audience of around 1,600 people could occupy the {{lang|fr|Salle Lys Assia}} during the contest.<ref name="Jura">{{cite news |title=Le couple Eurovision |trans-title=The Eurovision couple |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=JDJ19890118-01.2.6 |access-date=11 December 2023 |work=[[Journal du Jura]] |date=18 January 1989 |agency=[[Swiss Telegraphic Agency]] (SDA-ATS) |location=[[Bienne]], Switzerland |language=fr |page=1 |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]] |archive-date=26 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240526010351/https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=JDJ19890118-01.2.6 |url-status=live }}</ref> Over a dozen cities were reported to have applied to host the contest, with Lausanne winning out due to its combination of a suitable production venue, logistical infrastructure availability, and proximity to an international airport.<ref>{{cite news |title=Concours Eurovision am 6.

For the first time since {{escyr|1980}}, the event featured two participating songs written by the same songwriters: both the {{esccnty|Germany|y=1989|t=German}} and {{esccnty|Austria|y=1989|t=Austrian}} entries were written by [[Dieter Bohlen]] and [[Joachim Horn-Bernges]].{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=116–119}}

The 1989 contest featured the youngest ever lead performers, in the form of 12-year-old {{ill|Gili Netanel|he|גילי נתנאל}} and 11-year-old [[Nathalie Pâque]] representing {{esccnty|Israel|y=1989}} and {{esccnty|France|y=1989}} respectively. Their inclusion in the contest led to controversy and protest from some of the other competitors, who felt their young age should preclude them from the contest. As there were no existing rules regarding the age of performers, the two artists were allowed to compete, however, the controversy led to the introduction of an age restriction on performing artists for the {{escyr|1990||1990 contest}}.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}<ref name="ESC1989" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=116–119}}

Rehearsals for the participating artists began on 1 May 1989. Two technical rehearsals were conducted for each participating delegation in the week approaching the contest, with countries rehearsing in the order in which they would perform. The first rehearsals of 50 minutes were held on 1 and 2 May, followed by a press conference for each delegation and the accredited press. Each country's second rehearsals were held on 3 and 4 May and lasted 35 minutes total. Three dress rehearsals were held with all artists, held in the afternoon and evening of 5 May and in the afternoon of 6 May; all dress rehearsals were held in front of an audience, although for the afternoon rehearsal on 5 May, the acts were not required to be in their performance costumes.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}

During the contest week each delegation also took part in recording sessions for the postcards, short films which served as an introduction to each country's entry, as well as providing an opportunity for transition between entries and allow stage crew to make changes on stage. Footage for the postcards were filmed between 1 and 4 May for the delegations, with the exception of the Swiss delegation which filmed for its postcard in the weeks leading up to the contest; delegations recorded for their postcards on one of the days in which they were not required to be present at the contest venue.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}<ref>{{cite web |last1=Egan |first1=John |title=All Kinds of Everything: a history of Eurovision Postcards |url=https://escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Insight |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524073150/http://www.escinsight.com/2015/05/22/all-kinds-of-everything-a-history-of-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=24 May 2015 |date=22 May 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kurris |first1=Denis |title=Eurovision 2022: The theme of this year's Eurovision postcards |url=https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |publisher=ESC Plus |access-date=24 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501103821/https://www.esc-plus.com/eurovision-2022-the-theme-of-this-years-eurovision-postcards/ |archive-date=1 May 2022 |date=1 May 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Delegations were also invited to a number of special events during the contest week: on 1 May a welcome reception was hosted by the [[Council of State of Vaud|Council of States]] of the [[Cantons of Switzerland|canton]] of [[Vaud]] and the municipality of Lausanne in the ballroom of the {{lang|fr|Palais de Beaulieu|i=unset}}; on 2 May, Céline Dion performed her first show on Swiss soil as part of her [[Incognito Tour]] at the {{lang|fr|[[Théâtre de Beaulieu]]|i=unset}}; a [[River cruise|dinner cruise]] on Lake Geneva was organised for 3 May; and a reception on 5 May was organised by the tourist office of the canton of [[Grisons]].{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}<ref>{{cite news |title=La fièvre de samedi |trans-title=Saturday fever |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=EXR19890502-01.2.165 |access-date=9 December 2023 |work=[[L'Express (Neuchâtel)|L'Express]] |date=2 May 1989 |agency=[[Swiss Telegraphic Agency]] (SDA-ATS) |location=[[Neuchâtel]], Switzerland |language=fr |page=40 |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]] |archive-date=26 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240526010527/https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=EXR19890502-01.2.165 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Concert Céline Dion "Grand Prix Eurovision" |url=http://www.letempsarchives.ch/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib%3ALowLevelEntityToSaveGifMSIE_LETEMPSEN&Type=text%2Fhtml&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=JDG%2F1989%2F04%2F12&ChunkNum=-1&ID=Ad02004&PageLabel=20 |access-date=26 October 2024 |work={{lang|fr|[[Journal de Genève]]|i=unset}} |date=12 April 1989 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707000920/http://www.letempsarchives.ch/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib%3ALowLevelEntityToSaveGifMSIE_LETEMPSEN&Type=text%2Fhtml&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=JDG%2F1989%2F04%2F12&ChunkNum=-1&ID=Ad02004&PageLabel=20 |archive-date=7 July 2011 |page=20 |language=fr |url-status=dead |via=[[Le Temps]]}}</ref>

The results of the 1989 contest were determined through the same scoring system as had first been introduced in {{escyr|1975}}: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.<ref>{{cite web |title=In a Nutshell |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=8 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626052301/https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |archive-date=26 June 2022 |date=31 March 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The points awarded by each country were determined by an assembled jury of sixteen individuals, who were all required to be members of the public with no connection to the music industry, split evenly between men and women and by age. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and ten votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs in the top ten received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=381–383}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|p=347}}

Partly due to the close result at the previous year's event, the [[Tiebreaker|tie-break]] procedure, to determine a single winner should two or more countries finish in first place with the same number of points, was modified. For the 1989 event and for future contents, an analysis of the tied countries' top marks would be conducted, with the country that received the most 12-point scores being declared the winner. If a tie for first place remained then the country with the most 10 points would be crowned the winner. Should two or more countries still remain tied for first place after analysing both 12- and 10-point scores then the tying countries would be declared joint winners.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2016|pp=371–373}}<ref name="ESC1989" />
