	Eurovision Song Contest 1996 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eurovision Song Contest 1996 was the 41st Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 18, 1996 in Oslo.
		As a leading financial contributor to the contest, Germany were particularly aggrieved that their entry, Planet of Blue performed by Leon, was one of the seven cast aside.
		The 1996 contest also featured the novelty - which similarly failed to become a tradition - of a short 'good luck message' for each entry, recorded by a political leader or official from their country.

		At the first contest in 1956, each country was allowed to submit two three-minute (or less) songs, performed by inhabitants of the respective country.
		Following the dominance of English language songs, particularly Sweden's 1974 victory (with ABBA's "Waterloo"), a rule was passed in 1977 that the song had to be sung in one of the official languages of the performing country.
		Many viewers of the contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the UK broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision song contest drinking games and the like has evolved in some countries.

		The contest was first staged in Switzerland in 1956, and the UK has participated every year except 1956 and 1958.
		But there's one thing an Eurovision synopsis wouldn't be complete without, the one Factor X that is Terry Wogan, he who has been commentating for the television viewers since the early seventies (for the more serious minded amongst you, put your telly on mute and listen to Ken Bruce on Radio 2).

	The Eurovision Song Contest
		The Irish Republic had a tendency to dominate the contest for quite a few years -but analyzing the figures since the contest began in 1956, most critics agree that the UK has had the most consistent success.
		The song is quite similar in style to the Greek winner and Javine gave a flawless performance.
		As the contest proceeds you all eat and drink what you've collected for each country while their song is on the air.

	Amazon.co.uk: Eurovision Song Contest - Istanbul 2004: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The 49th Annual Eurovision Song Contest held in Istanbul took place over two days with a qualifying round and a final held in May. This DVD covers all of the footage from the shows as well as an interview with the winning entry, Ukraine's Ruslana with Wild Dances.
		The songs sound great, with the notable ones being from Greece, Ukraine, etc. Also full credit to Turkey for not just putting on a great show but for sticking a ska/punk band in to the mix of the usual pop.
		But this does not overshadow the complete fun that is the Eurovision Song Contest, if you are completely in love with Eurovision I suggest you get this right away, its sort of like having a CD, you skip back and forth to songs you like.

		I love Eurovision, and I had always thought it a shame that I would not be likely to hear many of the songs after event.
		I really love the entries from Iceland, Germany, Russia (this song is not typically Eurovision, and had many people surprised to see tatu in the contest, yet I feel they performed a very respectable third!), Spain, France, Belgium and Romania.
		As I've dared to write this before the contest, two countries seem to stand out to challenge Russia for the #1 spot, and that's Germany and Spain, both with nice, classic uptempo songs.
