The yearly pan-Eurpean soiree has developed into a phenomenon that is now far more than a mere song festival. Its stage has been graced by Europe s greatest artistes and its songs written by some of the continent s most respected song writers yet there still exist negative attitudes towards it in Britain where the Contest is often portrayed as of little aesthetic value. A more in-depth study shows that it is far from a parade of glitz and banal lyrics. Through this book we delve into the background and history into which many of its entries had their roots and examine why it has been maligned so much in Britain and how certain attitudes have taken root particularly in the U.K as well as taking a closer look at notable entries throughout its history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe travel on a journey through the plethora of artistes, songs and events that have made up the Contest and cite the reasons why it should be regarded as quality culture and merit respect.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhether you're a longtime fan or a curious skeptic, this book will challenge perceptions and unveil the true essence of Europe's most beloved music tradition.
