Tornero sounds great in Bosanova. and the singer voice is great.
Waterloo is also cute to sing in Bosanova.
Every way that i can and Diva dont sound good in Bosanova.
i heard once hard rock version of Diva and this was amazing.
DIE 4 U / TELL ME (GREECE '91) / SOLFEGE LESSON (GREECE '77)
R the simply the BEST of this specific compilation... 
BRILLIANT IDEA FROM THE GREEKS
VIVA GRECIA

Take care,

Great idea! SHAKE IT is by far the most suitable here! BRAVO TO OGAE INTERNATIONAL!!!
Same record company has recently published "Bossa Mia", a collection of 14 songs of Abba, covered the "bossa nova" style. Gon on to http://www.planetworks-shop.gr/ then search for "bossa" or "abba" and you'll get it. Sample for all songs. But nothing really convincing, to my opinion.
@Sunny Montenegro
It's «bossa nova» not «bossa nueva»
hm.. i am not happy with result.... though i am very surprised that Waterloo seems to be very suitable for Bossa. Never would have guessed. For me only Ding-A-Dong and maybe Every Way That I Can do the trick of really transporting a bossa feel, a bossa vibe. Many are awful such as Diva and Shake it. I think it's an overall bad choice of songs, many of the them not suitable for transforming. I'd rather have for instance "Si la vie est cadeau'" transformed from a very slow and heavy ballad into a light floating bossa song. Or maybe What's another year. ... but who's asking me ??? No one, I know ;-)
hmmm Every way that I can
This is so fresh and interesting 
ABBA - Waterloo and Mihai - Tornero - on one CD ? This must be a great CD 
OMG i love this! I want this CD now! Where can iget it? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME!!!
What a awfull cd, they have ruiend every song!
I love Bossa Nueva!
good idea
bad work
love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very great ! Bossa Nova is so magical !
@ Guilherme
Have a look at the time of publishing of the news and you'll know who stole who. As for the original blog from where the news comes, it's Jan Götz's and we mention it several times. Enjoy Guilherme.
@ Guilherme: Don't worry, I guess they just forgot the link
http://eurocovers.blogspot.com/ or
http://eurocovers.bl(...)rasil-to-greece.html (with more details and artsist links)
Must get! I love bossa nova!
Shame on you esctoday!!!!
Stole the information from other Blog and didn't mentined the credits...Shame on you!!!
Wonderful CD. Die for you and Tell me (I Anixi) sounds the best.
What a nice and polite idea to reveal new musical horizons to every open-minded Eurovisionary. And this dignified performance would make Mr. Jobim very satisfied witnessing such fruitful symbiosis of his artistic legacy and Eurovison treasures. Interestingly enough, this convincing musical effort might raise question whether arrangement or composition is the decisive feature of a song. (Gives me an opportunity to reconcile with Greece after this year's somewhat uninspired entry.)
I liked the most : Volare ( Italy ), Apres Toi ( Luxembourg ),
Ding A Dong ( Netherlands ).
i dont it very much...sooo sloww rhtym
