I'd never deny Conchita of her rightful win but I far prefer Calm After The Storm and The Common Linnets' debut is easily my favourite Eurovision-related album. The same with Diva really, I prefer Where Are You as a song but I wouldn't want to deny Dana International's win.

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,006 User: 116	Agree about 1996, The Voice is gorgeous and such an underrated winner for me. Yet Den Vilda and Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit are both miles and miles better, and I Evighet is lovely too. What a great, high quality year though you've got to laugh at that entire new age sweep of the top three when Gina G had a global smash and all-time pop classic finishing down in 8th...!
