the best yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2007

The 2006 ESC was the best in recent years and the CD shows what a huge variety of music is on offer with everything from haavy metal to Country via reggae. This is a double CD with 37 tracks from the final and semi final and at least half of them are great pop songs and a doxen or so being perfect little pop tunes. I won't do a review of them all (not enough space) but here's my faves. Armenia - A noble first effort, imagine Ricky Martin with an ethnic twist. Bosnia - a beautiful instrumental break but the melody is a bit cryptic. Belgium - perfect Europop which amazingly didn't get into the final. Cyprus - A Whitney Houston ballad. Germany - a bit of bluegrass, including a mock US accent. Denmark - a 50s twist toe-tapper. Spain - if you liked the Ketchup Song then you will like this. Finland - on the night this was the most amazing thing I've seen on TV, but the studio version lacks the sense of wonder. A good standard hard rock song though. France - bad singing on the night but one of the nicest tunes on the CD. UK - a great catchy chorus but nothing else. Greece - a strangely lyricked power ballad.Lithuania - hilarious on the night, this pokes fun at the competition with a tune based on a playground chant. Latvia - acapella simging, very odd, very original. Macedonia - this could've been a hit for J-Lo or Shakira and sung by an equally attractive girl. Russia, the girl in the piano on the night distracted from a good song. Sweden - an epic ESC ballad with a disco beat and very well sung from a country that never submits a bad song. Slovenia - a great pop song with better English lyrics than usual. Ukraine - a totally infectious Shakira-type dance number with a soviet twist. So good I went to Kiev and bought the CD!

Even if you hate ESC (and everyone says they do but it is still the world's most popular annual TV show) you will find something on here to enjoy and repeated listening imprints some of these tunes into your head forever. Get it while it's cheap!

Fairly typical Eurovision fare, but in a good way!

An album with this many tracks on it (37) will contain some duds and there are certainly some real howlers here: Lithuania, Switzerland and Finland made my toes curl. The dominant theme at the 2006 songfest is upbeat, Scandinavian-style disco stompers, the best of these being 'Je T'Adore' by Belgium (a hot favourite to win), Sweden and Romania. There are some tearjerkers, the best coming from host nation Greece but I also like the soft, lilting Bosnian song and the midtempo Russian effort. Some of the ballads are spectacularly overwrought: check out the Cypriot entry for a real over-the-top performance and lyrics that even Disney might find too sickly! Among the more unlikely songs is a gentle, and rather charming, hillbilly rocker from Germany (also tipped to do well) and the UK's rap offering, complete with rather doubtful schoolgirl chanting. I reckon there are maybe 6 tracks here that you'd bother to upload to your Ipod. And my favourite song? It's a pretty cheesy and very ABBA-esque track from Estonia: just what eurovision is all about and sung by easily the most gorgeous female artist in the show.

Strip away the visual entertainment of the (music half of the) Eurovision Song Contest and what are you left with, as presented on this 2-CD set? Thirty six uniformly bland and deeply unmusical pop songs, and one even worse, the winner (Lordi, from Finland), which sounds like a Motorhead B-side reject from 1980 and probably owes its success more to the pre-event publicity and the band's fancy dress than to any musical or potential commercial value.

To illustrate the point, the day after the show I played Lordi's track to a friend who not only watched it but voted for it. He/she didn't recognise it. Ditto the UK entry, by Daz Simpson, the start of which sounds like the end of "I Am The Walrus" and which at least had the childrens' classroom sing-song chant going for it, if not much else.

This collection, issued as a formal record of all 37 songs entered, follows the usual practice of running them in almost but not quite alphabetical order of country. Three quarters of them are sung wholly or partly in English, and only a couple are truly ethnic (that is, heavily based on the country's folk music), which is slightly surprising given the success that the Ukraine and Turkey had playing that card in recent years.

The opening track, by Jenny from Andorra, is quite a powerful slab of mid-paced pop/rock, but has the disadvantage of being sung in Catalan, which few outside Northern Spain could understand. Things go downhill from there and one mediocre song seems to merge into the next and so on with little to relieve the tedium. Lordi's song was different in tempo and volume on the night, but the CD is mastered so as to remove the varitions that come with recordings from several sources, so its impact here is much less. Ireland made a concerted effort in persuading Brian Kennedy to risk his street cred by doing a number more worthy of a certain boy-band of that nationality. LT United (for Lithuania) provided an execreble chant "We Are The Winners (Of Eurovision"), followed by a Bobby McFerrin tribute band, the Vocal Group Cosmos from neighbouring Latvia. And Sweden, who gave Eurovision arguably its finest hour thirty two years ago, rolled out previous winner Carola, who shouted a lot but was unable to make lightning strike twice.

Like all Eurovision albums before it, this is handy to have as a faithful record of the songs at the event, or as a curio; in 99% of homes I suspect it will be played once and then filed away, never to see the laser light again. One of these years one act or song must come along to replicate the success of Abba (even a Bucks Fizz would be good). Sad to say it won't be this year.

One of the best

This is one of the best Eurovision compilations and guaranteed to be enjoyed not just by hardcore Eurovision enthusiasts, but also by music fans at large. There's something for everyone - powerful ballads (i.e. Greece, Andorra, Bosnia), catchy dance songs (i.e. Romania, Turkey, Belgium), rap (UK), heavy metal (Finland) and country-influenced tunes (Germany) and even some fun entries (i.e. Lithuania, Iceland). A very enjoyable CD, great for parties or to listen to while driving. You'll be missing out on some fab music if you let the Eurovision name put you off!

I bought this CD for the song "No No Never" by Texas Lightning, I was hoping they would add the song to I-tunes in the USA but they never have so I bought the CD the other song that I really liked after listening to the CD was "Follow My Heart" by Ich Troje. There are a few other good songs on the 2 CD set but overall it is not amazing.
