| | Eurovision Song Contest |
| | The Eurovision Song Contest is a live, televised music competition that has received widespread ridicule since its debut in 1956. | | | Efforts to resuscitate the ESC as a viable musical forum have resulted in recent efforts to modernize the look and style of the contest and to encourage a more professional approach to promotion through the participation of the corporate music industry. | | | In their triumphant international debut on the ESC, Abba opted for English and a continentally-recognizable historical event with "Waterloo" in 1974. |

| | From National Pride to Global Kitsch : the Eurovision Song Contest |
| | On the one hand, the 1956-born ESC is a key element of EBU’s memory: it is linked to the very foundation of the organisation (1950) and it is decisive in establishing and promoting its identity that remains shaky. | | | A striking feature of ESC music is the wish to introduce new musical style (rap, techno…) but this always involves a shift from original models due to a certain amount of pastiche. | | | Consequently, the ESC seems to be doubly branded as belonging to TV entertainment and to the old-fashioned genre of popular songs. |

| | ESC goes multimedia: for the first time a commercial CD featuring all 24 ESC songs comes out, and the event is broadcast live on the Internet. | | | Sweden won, and ABBA was and will be the all time favourite of the ESC. | | | » The ESC reached a climax: ABBA's "Waterloo" turned out to be anything but a defeat. |

| | This Swedish Import CD includes all the winning songs from the contest's conception in 1956 until 1999. | | | Unlike the British-produced Eurovision compilations, this release isn't an anthology of the numerous UK failures (no Clodagh Rodgers, or Sonia here); instead Eurovision 1956/1999 is 100 per cent European, with the winning songs often sung in the artist's native tongues. | | | Already popular in the americas (north and south) before the contest, the former night-club singer has had a number of bestselling albums. |

| | But the real pleasure of "1956" is that it's as inventive and interesting lyrically as it is musically. | | | "1956" is primarily influenced by hip-hop, but Soul-Junk takes a "kitchen sink" approach to it all, throwing in elements of folk, jungle, country, downtempo, and techno. | | | Their music was the very definition of quirky, with band members all over the stage, playing Casio keyboards and children's toys before hitting the stage for a little breakdancing. |

| | I guess that's because the Czechs have so much music in their lives that it does not pay to send a ESC entry that will never be a success even in that country. | | | I liked Portugal too but they performance was not very good...But not because of the singers but the sound who was terrible...And for Gulseren she got what she deserved..Her screams and shouting were terrible and a bit childish for me... | | | no esc is not doing fine, all the fans are now tired of it, the songs suck, it's boring, and it's all money related. |
