Sophie and Magaly were a French musical duo composed of twin sisters Sophie (24 August 1962 - 27 February 2019) and Magaly Gilles-Giovannoni (24 August 1962 - 2 April 1996). The duo are best known for representing Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 with the song "Papa Pingouin", placing ninth. However, the song was a commercial success in France, where over one million copies of the single were sold. Their second single, "Arlequin", sold poorly, and their German producer Ralph Siegel of the label Ariola dropped them from the label shortly thereafter. Producer Charles Talar subsequently gave them a second chance, however, their follow-up singles "Toi" and "Les nanas de Zorro" were equally unsuccessful, and the group disbanded shortly thereafter. In the late 1980s, Magaly contracted HIV, and died of AIDS in April 1996. Sophie suffered from high depressive syndrome and lived in the south of France. She died in 2019. FUN FACT: Silly penguin is Jean-Paul Cara. He has a rich Eurovision experience. He is the one who composed the winning song from Eurovision 1977. These are his connections with Eurovision: 1.Germany 1982: La paix sur terre (lyricist French version) 2.France 1981: Humanahum (composer) 3.France 1977: L'oiseau et l'enfant (composer) 4.France 1976: Un, deux, trois (lyricist)

I have a tech question. Why is one of the lead vocals (the girl in the pink, Magaly I guess?) super loud and panned all the way over to the left speaker, while everyone else's vocals are at a normal level and in the center where they belong? Was this a mistake, or a technical issue, on the original broadcast?

Can I just ask, why, in the midst of a contemporary, modern contest, ESC have decided to post this on their channel? As ESC fans we have a hard time trying to convert casual viewers to the contest, trying to tell them it is relevant and worth watching with the chance to be introduced to some great new artists... This is a song and performance of it's time but it doesn't help to boost the reputation of the modern contest
