"Congratulations: 1996-2005
This week, we will discuss one decade of the Eurovision Song Contest's history. Or, more particular, the entries from that decade chosen to compete among the last 14 during the 50th anniversary show Congratulations, which will take place this Saturday in Copenhagen, Denmark.
2003 - Turkey - Sertab Erener - Everyway that I can
The 2003 Eurovision Song Contest, the last one taking place in one night, took place in Latvia's capital Riga. Ukraine debuted and the televoting was one of the most exciting ones ever. At the end, the famous Russian duo t.A.T.u. came third, the Belgian group Urban Trad with the song Sanomi - a song in an imaginary language - came second and Turkey, represented by Sertab Erener, came first. It was Turkey's first Eurovision Song Contest victory.
In 1992, Sertab released her first album. In the past 13 years, more than 4 million albums of the Turkish star have been sold. She sang with Ricky Martin, Jose Carreras and performed with the Greek singer Mando, who represented Greece in 2003 as well."
