Died in 2021 aged only 65. Great voice. RIP

Liam deserved far more respect than he was ever given. Even on an out of tune piano he performed very well.
A better song than many of Ireland's winning songs. RIP Liam Reilly.

Song from back when there was good songs in ESC - the days seem to be over for good.

One of the greatest Eurovision songs....it finished joint 2nd, but only beaten by an outstanding italian winner

[EldaMengisto]

I love the nostalgic feel of Somewhere in Europe! It wouldn't have made a better winner than Insieme, but it's still quite down to earth and charming.

[zebras]

Great year for Europe -two songs on that theme in the first places. Love ths song. And Toto Cutugno's.

[caroleross]

Love the song. I could imagine Elton John singing this.

[Mrbbbism]

Well, eurosong really was something special

[davidwilding]

Somewhat of a muted reaction from the audience for what was an outstanding song. My winner of 1990.

[DanTony]

This entry finished in 2nd place joined with Joëlle Ursull fabulous "White and black blues".

[dusandss]

Did they put wrong flag on 0:30 seconds?

[kennydalglish]

Should have won
Better than some of the irish winners later

[Komancz]

Somewhere in Europe, more exactly somewhere in Western Europe ofc. I know during that time it would be difficult to meet in Eastern Europe, but they could met in Yugoslavia at least, just to include east lol 😅i'm kidding ofc, great song

[anikabartosik]

This song and him voice it's amazing. Definetly should win...

[euantreanor]

Along with rocking rool kids, this is the reason why we will never win again or even come close!! Simply.. A classic!

[Asidders]

Notice how the conductor slows the song down to a hault. 😂

This song would have won, only for the Italian entry, Italian song was brilliant, but so to was the irish entry, pity
