On the night of the final Winter performed 8th in the running order, following the United Kingdom and preceding Spain. At the close of voting "Je suis tombé du ciel" had failed to pick up a single point, placing Luxembourg last of the 12 entries. This was the third and last time Luxembourg finished the evening at the foot of the scoreboard, and their only nul-points result. Winter's blank was the last zero prior to the introduction of the current 12 points voting system in 1975, and the next song to be totally shunned by all national juries would not come along until 1978.[1]
