Television's happiest night of the year has come and gone from 2003 but at least we've got this wonderful CD to keep the memories alive and your Euro-toes tapping. Sure, you may not get the silly frocks, the clunky choreography and all that stripping you get on the box but this cornucopia of money notes, key changes and blissfully carefree pop will hopefully keep you smiling till May 2004 in Turkey. It's almost impossible to explain to the uninitiated what it is that makes Eurovision so special but even the most cynical detractor may find something to like here. Iceland kicks things off with a fine 80's knock-off called "Open Your Heart" while Bosnia-Herzegovina have hit paydirt with "Could It Be" which has the audacity to include THREE key changes! Turkey deserved to carry off the Grand prix with "Every Way That I Can" which was certainly preferable to Belgium's Muppet song "Sonami" that came an inexplicable second. T.a.T.U. sound a hell of a lot better here than they do live and "Cry-Baby", the UK's now notorious null-pointer, does indeed have a melody which performers Jemini kept well hidden from the audience at the competition. And anyone who's been looking for the quintessential Eurovision song need look no further than Germany's "Let's Get Happy." If this thing had had a key change it would have been perfect. The duds are few and far between with Malta contributing a surprisingly boring ditty compared to previous years, Ireland sounding like a rip-off of Denmark's ESC 2000 winner "Fly On The Wings Of Love" and France being very French. One day they'll give up on the girl singer/power ballad formula, do an up tempo song in English and surprise us all. I'm convinced of it.

As the decade progressed the Eurovision Song Contest, soon to celebrate its half century, was getting bigger and better. In 2003 a record 26 nations sent songs and the show even included a live link up with the Mir Space Station to allow its cosmonauts to start the voting back down on earth. The night had all the ingredients for a memorable contest: a great collection of tunes, incredibly close voting and the first ever win for Turkey thanks to established star Sertab Erener and her crowd pleasing, belly dancing sapphic harem. By the narrowest of margins (just three points separated the first three songs) she beat off the challenge of another pseudo-sapphic act Russia's t.A.T.u., the biggest stars to enter the contest since the Seventies. Erener's oriental-sounding winner became a hit in many countries, a welcome boost to the show's fortunes after the previous two Baltic winners had flopped commercially. Making their debut in 2003 was Ukraine who quickly became a Eurovision big hitter (and on only their second attempt went and won the thing the following year). The UK on the other hand, a past master of Eurovision, came last with the dreaded 'nul points' thanks to an infamously off-key performance from the hapless duo Jemini (sounding perfectly adequate here on the CD). The signs were clear; the nations of 'Old Europe', complacent and underperforming, were now being increasingly beaten at their own game by the new Eastern kids on the block.

Another year, another Eurovision. With 26 entries, the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest will be the largest ever, but unfortunately the quality of a lot of the songs are a real down!
Let's start with the highlights though:
- We've Got The World Tonight (Ireland) - this is really typical happy-clappy Eurovision song that is actually really similar to "Fly On The Wings Of Love" which won for Denmark in 2000. A nice surprise from Ireland - a big improvement on the normal slow dirges that they send!
- Ne Brini (Bosnia-Herzegovina) - the biggest surprise of the whole contest in my opinion!! Bosnia's songs are normally, erm, different, but this year they've actually managed to find a song with a catchy tune, a great beat - and you've gotta love all those key changes at the end! One of my faves this year!
- Vise Nisam Tvoja (Croatia) - and this year, Croatia have sent Britney Spears to Eurovision! Seriously, this song sounds like a Britney B-side - it's got the same drum beat, the same chugging guitars, and the little passage for the backing singers to shine right before the grand finale!!! Quite decent actually!
- Dime (Spain) - Fast becoming my favourite (the fact that I love everything about Spain, especially the language, has nothing to do with it!), this is a really great latin-fused dance tune that has been compared to "On A Night Like This" by Kylie. A super-catchy melody and a stunning singer - I expect this to do really well on the night!
- Feeling Alive (Cyprus) - Another latin-tinged tune, I've found myself humming this for days on end - make of that what you will! Nah, it's a great little tune, and songs like this always do pretty well....
- One More Night (Netherlands) - Probably the most commercial tune - I can imagine this being a massive hit all over Europe. The vocalist is actually British, which explains why her accent is so good! A massive sing-a-long chorus should see this doing well on the night!
- Cry Baby (UK) - I always like the UK entries, while Europe seems to think other wise! However, this year I think we have our best chance for years! Cry Baby is a groovy little disco-pop tune, and the vocalists can actually sing live! COME ON UK!!!
- Don't Break My Heart (Romania) - I stand corrected - THIS is the surprise of the competition! Romania doing a super-modern drum n bass style dance tune! it actually sounds a lot like a song from an advert that goes "Do you recognise my salty flavour..." or sommat like that! This is my fave, but I don't think Europe will be too impressed!!!
So that's the good, but what about the bad and the ugly....
- Weil Der Mensch Zahlt (Austria) - utterly disgusting! Starts off sounding like it should be the theme tune to Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men. Then, after the ridiculously....ridiculous chorus, it bursts into a thrash metal interlude! *Shudder*
- Sanomi (Belgium) - Belgium it seems have decided to do a swap with Bosnia-Herzegovina by dropping the possibility of doing a super catchy pop-dance tune and opting instead for a Middle-Eastern tune that just repeats itself over and over - yuck!
- I'm Not Afraid To Move On (Norway) - this guy clearly wants to be in Westlife! Only thing is, he has a terrible voice! And he's singing an even more horrible tune! Dirge alert!
- Zadnych Granic (Poland) - Awww, a slow male-female duet. Only thing is the guy sounds like he has a really bad case of constipation!!! Need I say anymore?
So there you have it - the rest are okay, but nothing super special! And lastly, a little comment about THAT Russian entry by tATu - it's NOWEHERE NEAR as catchy as All The Things She Said, and the only way they'll win is if people are blinded by the pointless amount of publicity they are receiving. Of course, that'll never happen because the votes in the Eurovision Song Contest are always about the music and nothing else......right?
