Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957

Both the singer and the song were selected internally. Dupré was currently touring France when she was invited to perform in the Eurovision contest for Luxembourg. Later she stated that she was ambivalent about the song and, like a few performers at the time, she only practiced her song once, at the pre-show rehearsal. At the competition, she met Paule Desjardins, the French representative, with whom she would maintain a long friendship. The song was never recorded[1] and therefore also never released as a single.

At the contest, the entry from Luxembourg was performed second on the night, following Belgium and preceding the United Kingdom. Dupré delivered a simple but dramatic performance of her entry. At the close of voting, Luxembourg had received eight points in total putting the country in fourth place among the ten participants, tied with Germany.

Voting

Every country had a jury of ten people. Every jury member could give one point to their favourite song.
