eurovision 2006
You\'ve got to hand it to the brave men and women who don outrageous clothes and warble like lunatics in the hope of winning Eurovision for their country. We salute the stars of the international stage in the run-up to this year\'s spectacular…
Abba mania
abba,mania
agnetha abba
Show us someone who doesn\'t love ABBA and we\'ll show you a right plonker. The super Swedish foursome won Eurovision in 1974 with their now-classic stomper \'Waterloo\', and went on to become loved worldwide. Dig those jumpsuits!
Canadian queen
canadian,queen
celine dion
Eurovision also introduced us to Canadian cheese mistress Celine Dion. She won the contest for Switzerland in 1988, and went on to sell millions of records. Although some might wish she\'d gone down with the Titanic...
Brit hits
brit,hits
Bucks Fizz Eurovision
1981\'s winners were our own Bucks Fizz -- remember those sexy whip-off skirts? The two guys and two girls grinned their way to a win and went on to have hits throughout the decade. They reformed in 2004 for the \'Here and Now\' tour of \'80s idols
What a (wo)man
wo,man
Dana International Eurovision
Anyone who saw Dana International swoosh to the top in 1998 won\'t forget it in a hurry -- she won the contest for Israel, and was the first transsexual to win Eurovision. And that amazing parrot feather costume... go girl!
Two-timers

katrina and the waves eurovision
Katrina and the Waves had a hit with \'Walking on Sunshine\', but we\'d forgotten about them until they scored a landslide Eurovictory for us in 1997 with \'Love Shine A Light\'. It was a real lighter-waver of a tune, and got waves of applause!
Top lass
top,lass
lulu eurovision
Tiny Scottish firecracker Lulu has had an amazing career, and one of its most notable moments was her Eurovision performance way back in 1969, with \'Boom Bang-a-Bang\'. She won, but so did France, the Netherlands and Spain -- still, we reckon she won first!
Oh the shame!
oh,shame
jemini eurovision
Some people would rather forget Jemini\'s embarrassing \'nul points\' performance in 2003, but we think their brave smiles after their humiliating defeat make them true Eurovision heroes. Just don\'t make us listen to it again, OK?

Gina G Eurovision
Good old Gina G – the Aussie lass got us to eighth place in 1996 with the catchy \'Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit\', and then had another bash at outsinging Jordan and Javine this year. She got the fewest votes, but we still love her (it\'s the hair)
Movers and shakers
music,TV
Love City Groove Eurovision
Love City Groove represented us in 1995 – they only got us to 10th place, but we still reckon their song, the imaginatively-titled \'Love City Groove\', was one of our best Eurovision entries ever. And they had some seriously cool moves…
Go Daz, go!
music,TV
daz eurovision
This year, all our hopes are pinned on Daz Sampson with his school-choir rap crossover tune \'Teenage Life\'. He may share his name with a popular washing powder, but we reckon he\'s got what it takes to clean up at Eurovision!
Go Daz, go!
