From the Vault: Gina G

Australian DJ and pop singer, Gina G, represented the UK in 1996. Her song, "Ooh Ahh... Just a Little Bit," only finished in eighth place at the competition, but it went on to be a number-one hit in many countries. In America, the song was nominated for a Grammy for Best Dance Recording.

Those back-up dancers are just perfect. Everything about this performance is so fun and wonderful and 90s, but Europe wasn't quite ready for this kind of high-energy pop. Audiences wanted ballads in the 1990s, and Gina G was just a little before her time. But she did help start a trend that would bring Eurovision into the new millennium with a techno-dance beat.

Gina G attempted a return to Eurovision in 2005, but she did not make the final selection. She continues to produce music under her own record label and lives in the UK.
