Before Eurovision
14. Eurovision Şarkı Yarışması Türkiye Finali
The final took place on 24 February 1990 at the Ari TV studios in Ankara, hosted by Korhan Abay.[1] [2] Fifteen songs competed and the winner was determined by the votes of eight regional juries. This contest was the only contest where everything is played entirely live. Despite the instruments shown on stage, they are all required to play live. The three previous editions (1987, 1988, 1989) allowed playback as long as there was an instrument presented on stage.
The national final version of the song "Gözlerinin Hapsindeyim" is different from the version performed at the Eurovision Song Contest. According to Eroğlu, the TRT had a special budget ready when they decided they wanted their song to be improved. They hired Jean Claudric to rearrange the song. However, due to limited time, only some parts were made. Eroğlu used Jean's version and made an orchestration out of it for the contest. Most of the members in Kayahan's band preferred Eroğlu's old arrangement.
