The usual great throwaway pop...,
By
This review is from: Eurovision Song Contest - Athens 2006 (Audio CD)
Everyone knows that when you watch the Eurovision, you will hear some duds and when you buy the CD you get the same deal! The entries here from Switzerland, Iceland, Latvia and a slew of other Eastern European entries are not easy on the ear by any stretch of the imagination.
But please don't let that put you off: there were genuinely some great songs in the Eurovision this year. Malta, Armenia and the UK all contribute some catchy bubblegum while the Ukrainian and Turkish entries are a little bit different and well worth a listen for that. Both Romania and Greece produce very contemporary sounds which would not sound out of place on radio. The Swedes, as usual, go for the "big sound", and Carola's "Invincible" is one of the best. There are many more entries deserving of a mention, including those of Norway, Croatia (a grower!) and the under-rated French ballad, but my douze points would have to go to the Belgian "Je t'Adore", which is one of the best songs I have ever heard ( and it didn't even make it through the semi-final!) Buy it!! It won't be out of your CD player for long if you do because there is something for everyone, even rock from the winners Finland(?)!

The best ever Eurovision,
By Sam (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eurovision Song Contest - Athens 2006 (Audio CD)
This years Eurovison was by far the best ever.
Great Britain did badly Ireland did quite well. A hard rock band won it. Monaco gave proof that they hate France. Moldova were my favourite for the second year running. Latvia were so bad you loved them. Spain showed why they don't care any more (With the Ketchup Girls) aaaaaaaaand Belarus voted for Russia Great Britain voted for Ireland Sweden voted for Finland Moldova voted for finland Andorra voted for France and Spain. Next year the chances of great britain winning 1000000/1 Great CD and good value for money a must buy.

Indecisively Ecletic,
By Andy Norton "Andy" (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eurovision Song Contest - Athens 2006 (Audio CD)
Back when Greece can afford hosting an extravagant event, the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest is remembered only for Lordi winning with Hard Rock Hallelujah, thus propelling them into some kind of stratosphere that made people aware of that kind of Finnish metal music... until next year's contest came around.So, I hear you cry, what about the rest of the entries; are they worth listening to again, of are you better off, like the average music listener, and forget the existence of any songs from that contest? Well this compilation is a bit indecisively eclectic, for every track that is probably worth hearing again (Vocal Group Cosmos' I Hear Your Heart), there is often a catchy guilty pleasure (LT United's We are the Winners) or just something embarrassingly bad (Daz Sampson's Teenage Life). So it depends on what kind of popular music you are into, but if you are a fan of disco-pop, of a catchy camp manner, then you might revisit this compilation for some kind of Euro-centric disco party. The compilation also has the flaw of having some better tracks onto Disc 2 then on Disc 1, not that major compilation series are vulnerable to that kind of problem- oh wait, those NOW compilations do! But, in all honesty, Disc 2 has a more solid mixture of music that does make a memorable listing to get your party going, with Anzej Dezan's Mr Nobody or Elena Risteska's Ninanajna being the major pop tracks that can be enjoyed, or at least tolerated, in a dance party context. So, `Eurovision Song Contest - Athens 2006' is worth a listen just to get some European flavour of the music scene from 2006, including the good, the bad, and the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking kind of music to get you into that kind of groove.
