It may be viewed as tongue in cheek pop music but The Eurovision Song Contest has survived all the jokes and jibes to become the longest running television show in history. Twenty three countries are participating in 2001's event, held in Copenhagen and all the national entries are featured here in their entirety. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As always there is a wealth of different genres all with a common thread, an un-definable ingredient making each sound similar to the last in one way or another. The quintessential Eurovision sound is no more apparent than on the single-syllable intro of Arnis Mednis' \"Too Much\" which morphs from Euro-pop to heavy rock then into what could be likened to early Steps. There are some commercial house tunes like \"Energy\" by Nusa Derenda and the UK entry \"No Dream Impossible\" by Lindsay Dracass. David Civera's Spanish entry, \"Dole que la quiero\" has the makings of a lambada-style summer smash hit but the stand-out track is Skamp's \"You Got style\" which sounds funky like a female Prince with an upbeat catchy chorus. --David Trueman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53583679914358,"sku":"0743218429224","price":9.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_2664172_1402308_jpg.jpg?v=1730896671","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0743218429224-eurovision-2001-song-contest-va","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
