| abstract | - C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison, or just simply Le dernier qui a parlé was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 in Rome performed by Amina Annabi. The song - the full title of which is one of the longest in Eurovision Song Contest history - was written by Amina herself and composed by Wasis Diop, resulting in an African feel to the music. Lyrically, Amina sings about the truth of the saying referenced in the title. She also extends it to "It's the strongest one who spoke who is right". The song was performed ninth on the night following Sweden and preceding Turkey. At the close of voting, it was tied for first place on 146 points with Sweden, who each also got 4 sets of 12-point scores. However, France lost on the count-back when it came to the 10-point scores (only receiving 2 sets of 10 compared to 5 sets for Sweden). Had the current tiebreaker rules come into effect, France would have won outright as 1 more country voted for Amina over Carola (18-17).
