Note 1 - Via their record companies, all five participating artists had submitted three songs, with semi-finals organised between January 31st and February 4th to determine which song each artist would sing in the final; all those heats, held at the same venue as the final with the same host, were broadcast live on television
Note 2 - In each of the five semi-finals, as well as in the final, the Metropole Orchestra played an instrumental tune to fill the gap between the competing entries and the voting procedure. All six titles could be traced in the broadcasting service's library, but it is unclear which title was used for which show. All six tunes have been given above as interval acts under the title of the arrangement
Note 3 - The number of points picked up by each entry in Bob Bouber's semi-final have not been preserved
