I See A Star was the Dutch entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 in Brighton performed by Mouth & MacNeal. Lyrically, the song is a love duet, with the singers telling each other that their love has helped them see the world in a new way. The "star" of the title is in other words to be found in one's lover's eyes. They were joined on stage for the performance by several other musicians, one of who played a barrel organ with puppet likenesses of the lead singers on top. Maggie MacNeal went on to represent her country on home ground in 1980.

  • I See A Star was the Dutch entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 in Brighton performed by Mouth & MacNeal. Lyrically, the song is a love duet, with the singers telling each other that their love has helped them see the world in a new way. The "star" of the title is in other words to be found in one's lover's eyes. They were joined on stage for the performance by several other musicians, one of who played a barrel organ with puppet likenesses of the lead singers on top. It was performed 12th on the night following Belgium and preceding Ireland. At the close of voting, it finished in 3rd place with 15 points. John Kennedy O'Connor (author of The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History) argued that the "antics" on stage during the performance hurt their chances of winning (bookmakers had it as joint favorite with the host UK entry), but the song continues to be a fan favorite to this day. Maggie MacNeal went on to represent her country on home ground in 1980.
