Posted May 5, 200619 yr Just got my Eurovision CD! I got the yearly embarrassment out of the way and just bought it :dance: HMV had a whole two copies in stock, clearly expecting huge sales :rofl: http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELSPECDEURO.JPG This year Greece plays host to the Eurovision Song Contest, the world's most viewed and perhaps most talked-about musical event. Greek artists have graced the contest with their talents throughout the years. Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg in 1963 and Vicky Leandros claimed a victory for the principality in 1972. It was however, the victory of Helena Paparizou in Kyiv in 2005 which has taken the event to the capital city of Athens for the first time. Fitting for a city that unites startlingly modern aspects with awe-inspiring ancient treasures, the songs being presented here represent the full wealth of Europe's musical heritage combined with new and innovative sounds. - HMV Release date: 8-5-2006 Availability: available for pre-order Number of Discs: 2 Catalogue Number: 3653692 Label: EMI track listing Disc One 1.

May 5, 200619 yr God I remember in 2004 I was in WHSmith and was so tempted to buy the cd, but no -_- I didn't dare lol! Internet shopping comes in very handy there though!
May 5, 200619 yr Author I was tempted to buy offline, but I didn't want to wait another week! I prefer to have the songs before the contest though ;) Last year it wasn't so bad as my then boyfriend got it for me, but the year before I went to a different store as the guy serving was far too hot for me to embarrass myself in front of :rofl: Thankfully it was a woman today and I just looked at the floor :rofl:

May 6, 200619 yr Thankfully it was a woman today and I just looked at the floor :rofl: Lol-I'll have to remember to do that-mine will be worse though-I'm getting Daz at the same time :lol:
May 6, 200619 yr Lol-I'll have to remember to do that-mine will be worse though-I'm getting Daz at the same time :lol: I bought Nicki French and Imaani but I was only ten and eight so it wasn't too bad :rofl: the worst one though was once I sent my mum to get me a Holly Valance cd, she was very embaressed lol. ^_^

I really don't get it !or maybe 4 the bad reputation that esc has over there :lol: Eurovision in the United Kingdom & Ireland is seen as very cheesy and not to be taken all too seriously :rolleyes: however in the mid 90s it was taken more seriously as the UK and Ireland were always winning or coming in the top five. I have to say I think our countries just have sour grapes atm :( but Eurovision will never be taken as seriously here as Balkans, Baltics and even Scandanavia do. I don't think France, Germany or Spain take it too seriously anymore either which is a shame really.

May 7, 200619 yr yup i can see that by the usaully anonimous artist that the big 4 countries are sending to esc (especially the UK :) ) Although Daz is known over here, not by himself though but as part of Uniting Nations. Not sure about Germany or France if their artists are well known or not, Las Ketchup are pretty well known everywhere.

Yeah we would but they wouldn't touch it with a bargepole lol. It's a known fact that the United Kingdom produces the best music in Europe! B) :lol:
