1997 Dublin - Number 2 - Şebnem Paker & Etnic - "Dinle"

From 1985 to 1997 inclusive, every year that Türkiye were in Eurovision they were drawn to perform in the first half. They performed every year in that period except 1994. That's 12 years in a row in which the random draw placed Türkiye in the first ten songs. In 1996 Şebnem Paker also represented Türkiye and finished 12th having sung first. This year she drew the death slot. Second. And there are now televoters who are highly running order biased.

It feels wrong.

Despite this, Şebnem Paker & Etnic with Dinle managed to score 121 points and finish third. Türkiye's best ever Eurovision result by an absolutely huge margin. That includes getting points from all the televoters and a huge 12 from Germany - although I'm guess that's one of the first ever cases of diaspora voting at Eurovision. It won Şarkı Yarışması 1997 by getting 71% of all the points available. The song is that strong.

It's much more authentically Turkish that her previous song. Like Marianna Zorba singing the Greek entry this year, she's broken out the zills and is backed with traditional instrumentation including tambur, kudüm and a ney flute. It has an insistent, seductive rhythm that drives it along and draws you in. Şebnem sings about a mysterious love she's hunting for, although she doesn't know his name nor his face - in fact she's not met him yet - the girl's gotta have it.

Dinle frequently tops polls of Eurovision fans naming their favourite song from 1997. In the most recent ESC radio top 250, it finished as the 58th best Eurovision song of all time, just behind Dancing Lasha Tumbai. It's not often included in the compilation clips the general public get shown when broadcasters need a Eurovision show, but it remains a treasure beloved by the Eurovision faithful.

It's even more than that - this is the song that demonstrates what good composition rooted in the rhythms, arrangements and styles of native music can do. Ireland did it a few years previously, but this is the one that says, look, it's not just Celticness that works, whatever your cultural identity, you can show it off and Europe will love it.

Any country with Türkiye's previous results and draw history wouldn't be blamed for feeling that Western Europe treated them as little more than a novelty every year. An essential part of Eurovision, but not one to be taken seriously. Dinle made everyone sit up and notice. It showed every other country and culture in Europe that they could be themselves. They could do and try anything. I have so much respect for Şebnem Paker & Etnic for this song.
