To say that this CD is Eurovision at its best is an understatement. It has everything you ever wanted to know about the Eurovision Song Contest and more.

The choice of songs from the song contest is interesting. "Boum Badaboum" (that's the spelling on the CD cover) by Minouche Barelli is typical Serge Gainsbourg but a very unsual choice for something as traditional as the Eurovision Song Contest. However, it's not out of place in this CD as it is an example of the variation of styles that can appear in Eurovision.

It also has the classics such as Abba's Waterloo, both Cliff Richard's entries and the New Seekers' Beg Steal or Borrow as well as the unusual such as Barelli's number and Aminas' haunting "Le Dernier Qui A Parle....", the song which had the same number of points as Swedens' winner of that year (1991) but lost out due to having the least number of twelve points of the two. It also has Dana International's Diva in Hebrew as well as the efforts of other so called international who have tried their hand at Eurovision such as Baccara, Francoise Hardy, Matt Monro (spelt with an "e" at the end on the cover), Olivia Newton John, Kathy Kirby and Ofra Haza.

It would have been useful if more English versions of the songs had been found and placed on the CD, but that didn't spoil the enjoyment one bit.

If you are interested in the Eurovision Song Contest, then this CD is for you.

The Magic continues. 28 Jan 2006
By Sami El Alam - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is the second volume in the Eurovision series, the CD includes some Contest Winners and some less famous songs... Also included here are rare and special songs like 'Sing Me a Song' by Bernadette, Ofra Haza's classis Hi (Chai), Peter, Sue and Marc's one of Eurovision's favorites 'Io Senza Te', Katja Ebstein's unforgettable 'Theater', other great songs like 'Cinema', 'Et Bonjour A Toi L'artiste' are also included here. The only weakness on this compilation is the sound quality, some songs really needed better remastering. As for track 23. Love Shine A Light has some problems, some instruments are not heard at all on that track, some mistake with the mixing. The label should re-master, fix & re-release this album along with more Eurovision compilations.
Lost in the 70's 11 Jun 2010

The Eurovision song contest has come up with some good songs, but few are here. The song everyone knows "Waterloo" is on this album. I would say about 80% of the songs are from 1970's era. If you like that 1970's folk sound then you might like this album. The album does come with the list of countries the song comes from and how they ranked in the competition. There are a couple of winners in the bunch. My advice if you do not like the forienge folksy type of music then try another album.
