How come the artist names are not always the same as what appeared on screen during the ESC?

0

For the names of both titles and artists, we use what appears on the single that was released in the country that the song represented (often the singles that were issued for foreign release carry a different name). So we don’t take the names from what appears on screen, neither do we take them from a compilation CD. Luckily too, considering “Dole que la quiero” on the official compilation CD of 2001. In a few cases it’s not possible to do that, because the songs didn’t get a single release. Only in these rare cases we use the name that appeared on screen. And then there are also a handful of official titles with horrible spelling mistakes, such as “Good by my love” for Turkey 2001. We’ve corrected those.
