At Eurovision
On the night of the final Brokken performed second in the running order, following Italy and preceding France. At the close of voting "Heel de wereld" had received only 1 point (from Switzerland), placing the Netherlands joint last (with Luxembourg) of the 10 entries.[2]
The Dutch entry was conducted at the contest by the musical director Dolf van der Linden.[3]
Brokken thus became the only performer in Eurovision history ever to have finished both first and last; it was also the only year, until 2015, in which the host country ended the evening at the bottom of the scoreboard.
Voting
Every country had a jury of ten people. Every jury member could give one point to his or her favourite song.
