Product description

Amazon.co.uk

Love it or hate it, every Spring in Europe brings the extravagance known as the Eurovision Song Contest. This Swedish Import CD includes all the winning songs from the contest's conception in 1956 until 1999. Unlike the British-produced Eurovision compilations, this release isn't an anthology of the numerous UK failures (no Clodagh Rodgers, or Sonia here); instead Eurovision 1956/1999 is 100 per cent European, with the winning songs often sung in the artist's native tongues. For instance, the original Hebrew vocal version of the dazzling "Diva" by 1998 winner Dana International is included. The rarities are also here, such as the disco-camp classic "La det swinge" ("Let It Swing") by Bobby Socks (the Norwegian winning entry from 1985), but don't get too excited--it's not the 'hard-to-find' English version. The good, the bad and the mind-numbingly awful are included on this release, but that's what makes the Eurovision Song Contest great. --John Galilee

GREAT COMPILATION, BUT TWO WINNERS MISSING

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2003

If you like Eurovision Song Contest, this one's for you. Although it includes most of the winning songs, two of them are missing: Si la vie est cadeau (Corinne Hermes,Luxembourg, 1983) and "Vivo Cantando" (Salomé, Spain, 1969, when no less than four songs tied and won the prize). Other non-winning songs are included, but maybe the selection should have been different (I mean, more songs that came second...What about "Le dernier qui a poarle" from France 1991, which scored the same points as the winner, but came second due to the rules of the competition? Instead we have Baccara's "Parlez Vous Francais" which was only 7th in 1978). And beware...some tracks are re-recordings. All in all,a great album at a great price.

A taste of eurovision history at its best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2002

As a specialist CD it is certainly as good as anything I've ever heard. It has all the winners, most of them in their native tounges, with the exception of the 1957 winner, one of the 1969 winners and the 1983 winner. As a piece of history it also works as it gives us a good idea of how music has changed over the past five decades, from the typical crooner singing style made popular in the 40's and 50's to the more experimental sounds of today. What surprised me was that, especially on CD one, the more popular songs such as Abba's Waterloo, Milk And Honey's Hallelujah and Izhar Cohen and Alphabeta's A-ba-ni-bi was performed in English. Thank you to the people who decided that. It may help that some of the other songs could be released in English so that we can better appreciate the song. I know there are some out there, for example Nicole's Ein Bisschen Frieden, which was released as A Little Peace. I know because I've played it on my Hospital Radio show. The inclusion of the three bonus tracks especially Baccara's Parlez-Vous Francais was a good idea and well worth pursuing in any future releases.

Excellent but not completely together!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2001

Eurovision heaven without a doubt. But why no 1983 winner - Luxembourg's Corinne Hermes (Si la vie et un cadeau)? Surely one the best know Eurovision ballads? If you're going to do a compilation, do it right!
