Flying the flag for the UK is Pop Idol contestant Jessica Garlick with a sweet MOR ballad showing what a great voice she has. Another one to watch out for is Greece's "tough" looking Michalis Rakintzis whose "SAGAPO" may draw comparisons to the high-art of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" in the mid-80. There are some decent non-tongue-in-cheek entries from Croatia's Vesna Pisarovic, the home country's Sahlene and, lest we forget, Sergio & the Ladies. A highlight apart from Aivaras' hair is Finland's Laura with the Kylie-disco sound of "Addicted to You" which could never be predicted as a winner but you never know.
Following on from Laura the album improves rapidly with each song as upbeat and fun as the next except for the pass-me-the-razor ballad of Monica & Marcel which is still good, but a touch depressing. This is a good collection of songs with a fantastic array of larger than life personalities and in the good spirit of Eurovision, plenty for Terry Wogan to sneer at. --David Trueman
Each year, the winning country gets to host the next year's contest and over the years have proved some amazing artists and spectacular performances.
Talinn was a good year full of quality artists. Of course there are always the joke entries - usually Germany for some reason however, winning can put your whole country on the tourist map - just like it did for Talinn and Riga the following year.
If you were to embark on a Eurovision introduction, I would suggest you try a compilation of winners and either 1993, 2002 or 2003 as they are extremely high quality and mostly in English.
Eurovision is unique - and remains one day in each year when Europe unites - and that can't be all bad can it?
