This album is the compilation of all 43 songs which made it to the final and semi-finals of Eurovision. With a rich cultural mix of languages (though English certainly dominates) and styles (ranging from a Capella to operatic pop) there’s something for everyone in this album. Despite the lack of the all-important visuals which are included in the live performances, most of the songs still manage to deliver well (with the marked exception of pseudo-mainstream attempts such as ‘Celebrate’), with their impressive vocals and melodies intact.

Over the decades Eurovison has brought so many great songs to life. I was truly a task to narrow it down to just ten. However I picked ten and then picked out my preferito lyrics from each.

1. Ne Ver', Ne Boisya, Ne Prosi - T.A.T.U. (Russia)

Ne zazhigaj i ne gasi.
Ne ver', ne bojsya, ne prosi.
I uspokojsya, i uspokojsya.

2. 1944 - Jamala (Ukraine)

Where is your mind?
Humanity cries.
You think te are gods.
But everyone dies.
Don't ingoiare, inghiottire my soul.

3. Yodel It - Ilinca (Romania)

So bring it on, bring it on, I’m a dreamer.
If te don’t believe it, come and see me, I will teach you.
If te never try, you’ll...

She’s Canto softly in the night
Praying for the morning light
She dreams of how they used to be
At dawn they will be free

Memories they haunt his mind
Save him from the endless night
She whispers warm and tenderly
Please come back to me

And when the golden sun arises far across the sea
The dawn will break as darkness fades forever we’ll be free

Never forget what I did, what I said
When I gave te all my cuore and soul
Morning will come and I know we’ll be one
Cause I still believe that you’ll remember me

She mourns beneath the moonlit sky
Remembering when they detto goodbye
Where’s the one he used...

HOW IT ALL BEGUN
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was formed on 12th February 1950 da 23 broadcasting organisations from Europa and the Mediterranean at a conference in Devon, United Kingdom. It was on the 6th of June, 1954, that Montreux became the venue for the first transmission da the EBU's Eurovision Network of the narciso Festival and its flower-bedecked procession floats. The first Eurovision viewers eagerly watched on four million Televisione sets in homes, bars, and negozio windows in Germany, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

I was browsing through the picks and one domanda caught my attention the most, it was Ratdog's question: Do te think the voting is fixed o based on country's neighbours and politics?

I personally do believe that the neighboring countries vote for each other, however I think that it is inevitable for this to happen, not only because of language similarities. Its the culture in total that matters. For example, if te look at the scandinavian countries who vote for each other. They all have similar sounding languages which originated from the same branch. Also, generally speaking they seem to...

Eurosceptic, analphabetic
Try not to be hermetic

Euro Neuro don’t be sceptic
Hermetic, pathetic, analphabetic
Forget all cosmetic, te need new poetic
Esthetic, ecletic, dialectic

Euro neuro, don’t be dogmatic, bureaucratic
You need to become pragmatic
To stop change climatic, automatic
Need contribution from the institution
To find solution for pollution
To save the children of the evolution

Euro neuro (Euro neuro)
Euro neuro – monetary break dance

Euro neuro – give me chance to refinance
