| 2002 AWARD |
The second edition of the
Eurodanceweb award featured 22 artists. The hot favourites were the Belgian
entry, sung by the very popular act Ian Van Dahl, and the French one,
written and produced by
David Guetta, a real star in the house music scene.
However,
predictions didn't come true and, as a big surprise for everybody, the 2002
award was won by another artist coming from a former Yugoslav County:
the Slovene singer Karmen Stavec with her disco-tune entitled "Še In Še".
This song was performed for the very first time at EMA 2002,
the Slovene selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, and was then
recorded in English with the title "Upside down", but failed to
reach success in other Countries.
Greece achieved the second place with the duo Antique and the song "Follow
me". Lead singer of this band was Helena Paparizou, a Greek girl born in
Sweden who then rose to the international stardom with hit singles such
as "My number one" and "Mambo".
Among other big names competing in this second edition of the
Eurodanceweb award, we mention the Dutch vocal-trance duo 4 Strings, the
Swiss Dj Tatana and E-type, one of the most popular Swedish dance acts
of the 90's.
Russia was represented by t.A.T.u., the biggest International pop
sensation of the year. Members of this duo were Lena Katina and Yulia
Volkova, two girls from Moscow who climbed the charts worldwide thanks
to an unconventional image of young lesbians dressed in college uniforms.
Their song "Na Ne Dogonyat", which represented Russia at this year's
Eurodanceweb award, was also released internationally in English with
the title "Not Gonna Get Us".
