Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's hard to believe that this contest has been running for nearly 50 years. It may be viewed as tongue in cheek pop music but The Eurovision Song Contest has survived all the jokes and jibes to become the longest running television show in history. Twenty three countries are participating in 2001's event, held in Copenhagen and all the national entries are featured here in their entirety.
As always there is a wealth of different genres all with a common thread, an un-definable ingredient making each sound similar to the last in one way or another. The quintessential Eurovision sound is no more apparent than on the single-syllable intro of Arnis Mednis' "Too Much" which morphs from Euro-pop to heavy rock then into what could be likened to early Steps. There are some commercial house tunes like "Energy" by Nusa Derenda and the UK entry "No Dream Impossible" by Lindsay Dracass. David Civera's Spanish entry, "Dole que la quiero" has the makings of a lambada-style summer smash hit but the stand-out track is Skamp's "You Got style" which sounds funky like a female Prince with an upbeat catchy chorus. --David Trueman

This is a brilliant compilation, and I think that this is a great idea to place all of the Eurovision songs on general release. This year is no exception, with high impact, fast beat songs from the Uk, Slovenia, and ABBA-esque entries from Greece and Sweden. A nice mixture of ballads compliment the CD well (from France and the Netherlands). All-in-all, a great mixture and variety of songs, definitley an Album must for all Eurovision fans, and possibly even non-eurovision fans. Who said ALL of the music in Eurovision was bad?

Second in the series of full eurovision releases, and what a success. All the songs from the 2001 contest including 16 year old Lindsay Dracass singing "No Dream Impossible" for the UK (should have finished higher in my opinion) and the cool winner from Estonia.
All songs are recorded brilliantly. Don't worry it's not one of those live CDs that sounds terrible.
Summary: Highly recommended.

Just check out Lithuania's fine effort, and tell me Eurovision is dead. I'm not even gay, and I loved the contest. Russia chipped in wiht a strange number, reminiscent of an iron curtain Placebo, while Denmark's cheesy lovefest almost stole the glory from Estonia. And the UKs entry was almost remarkably awful. A must have for eurovision followers, and those with a strong sense of irony alike.
