Η Λίντα Μάρτιν κατέκτησε το πρώτο βραβείο στον Διαγωνισμό Τραγουδιού της Eurovision το 1992, εκπροσωπώντας την Ιρλανδία με την μπαλάντα «Why Me?». Το τραγούδι, έργο του Τζόνι Λόγκαν, ο οποίος είναι διπλά νικητής του ίδιου θεσμού, σαγήνευσε το κοινό με τους συγκινητικούς στίχους του και την συναισθηματική απόδοση της Μάρτιν. Η διοργάνωση πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Μάλμε της Σουηδίας και η νίκη της Λίντα εξασφάλισε την τέταρτη νίκη της Ιρλανδίας. Αυτή η επιτυχία αποτέλεσε κομβική στιγμή για τη μουσική ιστορία της χώρας, ανοίγοντας το δρόμο για τη θεαματική πορεία της Ιρλανδίας στη Eurovision κατά τη δεκαετία του 1990.
Η «Why Me?» κυκλοφόρησε το 1992 και έφτασε στην κορυφή των ιρλανδικών charts, υπογράμμιζοντας την διαχρονική της αξίας σε επίπεδο σύνθεσης και ερμηνείας.

I don't know why, but that last "Why Me?" sends chills down my spine. Like, she sounds incredulous but at the same time exhilarated that her lover choose her.
Yes this is wonderful! I liked this win, i also liked the next years In your eyes from Niamh, and also, Lindas song Terminal 3 from the 80s was amazing, true presentation of its time
Lovely memory
Please upload Niamh Kavanagh In Your Eyes next to this channel!!!
The most baffling winner in ESC history? It's just a cut and paste ballad.
And in tune without auto-tune….those were the times when people still had to be able to sing 😂
Linda participated in 1984 too! Hope to see that performance on the ESC channel too.
Not only did this cement Linda Martin as an ESC Legend; it would also prove that Two-Time Winner Johnny Logan could write a wonderful song as well!

✨ WHY ✨ ME ✨
This is the exact moment my life long love started, remember it like yesterday ❤
Johnny logan

Johnny Logan was an unprecedented singer and, in this case, writer. What a classic! The song that started Ireland's unstoppable 90s power. 1993 and 1994 next? 👀
