EuropeCrazy's Ultimate Eurovision!!


As a celebration of my four years in blogland, I thought it would be appropriate to focus on the biggest annual event of the Europop fan's musical year and to stage my very own fantasy Eurovision Song Contest, featuring a final line-up of my favourite songs from 25 countries. I even carried out a draw so that it would be a fair running order, but the best thing of all is that, in the words of Nick Borgen, 'we are all the winners' and there is no overall winner! It's just a bit of fun, and not to be taken too seriously, but just enjoy the music :)))

8 of those would probably be in my Ultimate Eurovision too (bet you can't guess which ones...) Dance With Me and Eighties Coming Back are two of the most underrated Eurovision songs of the last decade in my opinion.
Love this idea though- I may have to steal it if I ever get round to writing the million posts I already need to catch up on.

Ooh let me guess, well there's a certain Mr Koldun, and a certain Mr Dejan, and a certain Bosnian band, and...

And of course, you have my permission to steal as I'd love to read your chart. Know what you mean about the million posts - I just don't have time to blog as frequently as before either.

Hope you enjoyed Italy Rachel! Looking forward to reading all your posts about that adventure :)
