​​WELCOME TO LONDON
"GOTHIC GRANDEUR BY THE RIVER"

Welcome to London, a city where centuries of history blend seamlessly with the pulse of modern life. From the iconic landmarks to the hidden gems, this metropolis is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be uncovered. The heart of the British Empire, London is a living museum, where every cobblestone and corner has a story to tell. Towering over the River Thames, the majestic Tower of London is a sentinel of the past, safeguarding the Crown Jewels. The Gothic spires of Westminster Abbey resonate with the echoes of royal coronations and historic events. Discover the world-famous Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch. Witness the Changing of the Guard, a ceremonial spectacle that has captivated visitors for generations. Stroll through the lush greenery of Hyde Park, a tranquil oasis amidst the urban hustle and bustle. The River Thames weaves through London like a liquid ribbon, and a leisurely cruise along its waters offers breathtaking views of the city's skyline. As you pass under the Tower Bridge, you'll feel the city's energy course through you. London is a global culinary capital, boasting a diverse array of restaurants, street food markets, and quaint pubs. Savor a traditional English breakfast, indulge in a proper afternoon tea, or explore international cuisines in neighborhoods like Chinatown and Brick Lane. The West End beckons with world-class theater productions, where the magic of the stage comes alive in venues like the Royal Opera House and the Globe Theatre. Immerse yourself in the vibrant arts scene at the Tate Modern, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. London's shopping is legendary, from luxury boutiques in Knightsbridge to quirky finds in Camden Market. Oxford Street, with its department stores, is a shopaholic's paradise, and Carnaby Street is a fashion mecca. For Harry Potter fans, a visit to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is an enchanting journey into the wizarding world. Step into the Great Hall and explore the magic behind the beloved films. London's neighborhoods each have a unique character, from the trendy streets of Shoreditch to the historic charm of Notting Hill. Experience the electric nightlife in Soho, where clubs, bars, and live music venues keep the city alive after dark. London's parks and green spaces provide a tranquil escape from the urban jungle. From the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew to the serene beauty of Hampstead Heath, nature lovers will find solace in the city's natural oases. London is a city that never sleeps, a city that embraces tradition and innovation, and a city that welcomes visitors with open arms. So, embark on an adventure in the heart of the British capital, where history and contemporary culture merge, and every street is an invitation to explore. Your journey begins in London, a timeless city of dreams!

Good evening and welcome to London!
We are gathered here tonight to find the best song in Global Music 2006!
Last year, Sugababes won the Super Final for United Kingdom, which is why we are here tonight.
But tonight we will crown another Super Champion.

All the countries that took part in a final in Global Music in 2006 are competing tonight.
They are each represented by the song, that did the best for them.
Some countries do, however, have more than one song in the Super Final.
That's because they manage to win more than one edition in 2006, and you can't hold a Super Final without all the winners!
We will have two semi finals with a total of 47 songs. Only 34 songs will qualify for the Grand Final.
You can vote in the usual ESC-style for any of the songs below, even if you yourself submitted it to the contest.
There are no excuses for not actively taking part in finding
THE BEST SONG IN GLOBAL MUSIC IN 2006!!!
