Can I re-watch the 2003 contest? It had many great tunes, but a crap winner.
Tatu(Russia), Jemini(UK), Lou(Germany), Beth(Spain), Lior Narkis(Israel), Esther Hart(Netherlands), Fame(Sweden) - they all had great tunes.

Correct. Sorry it was missing from the grid; the error happened during the image upload.
