Entry chronology
◄ "Croire" (1988)   
"Quand je te rêve" (1990) ►

The song is an up-tempo number, with the lead singer describing a man who "lives in a dream" (or even "in Tooneland", according to the backing vocals) and believes that he will make it big in Hollywood. She sings, further, that "I believe/that I'm his star", seemingly regardless of the success he might enjoy.

The song was performed eleventh on the night, following Sweden's Tommy Nilsson with "En dag" and preceding Denmark's Birthe Kjær with "Vi maler byen rød". At the close of voting, it had received eight points, placing it 20th in a field of 22.

It was succeeded as Luxembourg's entry in the 1990 Contest by Céline Carzo with "Quand je te rêve".


gollark: - post all of them on reddit and see if someone says one is a repost of another
gollark: Some very rough ideas for how to detect similar images:- remove blank space at top/bottom/sides and do the rest of these- run OCR over the text and check for matches- split image up into chunks, reduce the color space a lot, count how many times each color appears, check for similar chunks in other images- run edge detection on them, get locations of edges, fuzzy matching of those- ML-based object detection?- some sort of locality-sensitive hashing for image data
gollark: Probably, but I don't know what software or have any idea how it works.
gollark: Or look at how the repost detection bots do it.
gollark: Really? I'll have to look into this then.
