Israel's Dana International, the 1998 winner, is a transsexual, and wore a designer feather dress during the final.

Germany's Guido Horn had a crazy performance, climbing all over the stage.

Mass televoting took part for the first time. Judging panels were only used by countries that did not have a good telephone infrastructure.
