Athens, GREECE: Monaco's Severine Ferrer performs her song 'La Coco-Dance ' during the 51st Eurovision semi-final contest at the Athens Olympic Indoor Hall, 18 May 2006. Touted by its organisers as an event that truly unites Europe, the Eurovision song contest has regularly reflected the ethno-religious sympathies and rivalries typical of the continent.
