In 1992, the year Julia Kourotchkina was crowned Miss World, Russia did not compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. They actually never won the Contest, but came close in 2000 when Alsou sang "Solo" to a second position and in 2003 when Tatu finished third, only 3 points behind the winner, with "Ne'ver Ne Bosija."

Even though Azra Akin's Miss World victory in 2002 was only six months before Sertab Erener's victory in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, the two victories still did not take place in the same year.

Israel's Linor Abargil surprised the world when she added more joy to her country's 50th birthday celebrations by landing the crown for Israel. Six months before, Dana International had brought home a victory that was quite as controversial since her victory in the Eurovision Song Contest was rejected by the orthodox population of Israel. Dana International, who won the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Diva," was a transsexual and as such she was considered to be unsuited to act as the representative of Israel in such an important international event. Europe's televoters disagreed and "Diva" became a huge hit throughout Europe and Asia.
