More than a contest.
More than a spectacle.
Eurovision is a cultural revolution. Unveiling the beauty and diversity of Europe's most iconic music event - The Eurovision Song Contest. The Eurovision Song Contest has grown to become a great European tradition and holds a unique place in the history of modern Europe. 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. We 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. Whether 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. Get your copy today and give Eurovision the credit it truly deserves!
