"This CD cannot be recommended to anyone who didn't see the Eurosong show. This CD is a complete release of all the entries, so here you will get all the songs you liked along with all the songs you didn't like. Personally I enjoy listening to about half of the songs (hence the three stars), while the other half is more often than not simply awful. The CD is wonderful for fans of the Eurovision, viewers who enjoyed most of the music on the show, and friends and family of the contestants. It is NOT an interesting CD for anyone who is unfamiliar with the Eurosong tradition and it certainly does not give a very good impression of the state of contemporary European pop music.
It does, however, include the track "Ne ver ne boisja" by t.A.T.u, which is not available anywhere else, and so this CD might be a worth-while investment if you're a die-hard t.A.T.u. fan."
THE BEST FOR FANS OF THE EUROVISION CONTEST

"This album contains all the entries of the 2003 edition of the Eurovision Songcontest. It is a must for the fans of this contest. The beautiful ballad from Norway, the "funny" entry from Austria, the song from Belgium in a non-existant languige, the very modern popsong from Russia, the exciting winning song from Turkey: they are all on it. Even if you are not a Eurovision-fan: this album contains a great selection of 26 popsongs."
