Arabian rhapsody

Hello to everybody! I'm following the Contest since 1989 and I can admit that's my favourite TV show. Till now esc has gave me great times of sensation and happiness like in 1997 when Cyprus scored the last 12 point from Iceland and finished fifth, in 1991 and 1996 when Cyprus was second at the beginning of ranking, the excellent presentation of Lisa Andreas (2004) and of group ''One" (2002), Antique (2001), Sertab Erener and this year's winner Elena Paparisou, and ofcourse the dramatic victory of Israel in 1998.
Moreover since 1995 after the coming up of tbe cantidate countries/songs I keep a top 10 list so............................ .............................. .............................. .............................. ...........
