20 years on and I still believe this is one of the most under appreciated Eurovision songs in history! It's very J-Lo and still a very enjoyable song

I love the overflowing 1998-2001 vibes in this video. Everything, from the song with the dramatic chorus, to the style of singing, to the outfit, to the dancing, it's all so late 90s and early 2000s.

Exactly! I was 15 and was singing this song at school haha, loved it to bits!

I love how 90's this looks: Showing the bellybutton, the way the two fit background dancers dance. The white line down the sides of their pants. The sound. Everything. I don't know if I'm biased because I was a kid back then, but those times seemed much simpler and free-spirited. Now it seems like you can't do anything right anymore.

I remember being at Samarkand railway station in 2000 and a girl started singing this song. Maybe she thought I was a foreigner and wanted to show that she could some English or maybe she was ethnic Russian and proud of Russia getting so far at the Eurovision Song Contest. If I had known about the contest and the winning song, I could have sung my country's winning contribution afterwards.

i'm just 15 years old then, after a tiring day (saturday), and when i started reading my lessons for school, suddenly i hear this song and dance to it. I knew it was called "Solo" , But I didn't know the singer. Alsou just rocks and her singing is better than the Danish and Latvian ones.

Jul Extinction, вот именно, что песни, а не голоса (не вокалистов). Помимо Алсу на этом конкурсе за полвека выступила хренова туча исполнителей, и что, все были супер вокалистами? Была куча фриков, у которых даже намёка на голос не было. Нет там чётких стандартов, каким должен быть голос. Алсу - не самый поганый вариант среди всего многообразия выступивших там исполнителей. Справилась хорошо. Да, не идеально, могла бы и лучше. Но всё же хорошо, а если учесть её возраст на тот момент, так вообще отлично.

At the first blush, when I watched it on TV, the style and the staging reminded me of "Anabel Conde" and I told to myself: "it will become second". My guess was right. To put all her efforts into job and to put everything one has into. Putting your back into It. Hammer and tongs. Doing the utmost effort (the all-out effort), making your best, doing your utmost, doing your best. Going all out. Digging into something: hincarle a algo el diente We all dig in with will: todos nosotros trabajamos con ahínco Spanish idiom equalled: "poner toda la carne en el asador". Thank you.
