You didn't vote for her yourself. She should have won Eurovision. So many good pop songs of then are already half forgotten.

BTW I see Imaani has never even released an album. What a shame.

Fair point, cuz I’d forgotten I could’ve if I wanted to. Her or the Netherlands would’ve been great winners in ‘98.

[bonnielaurel]

Wikipedia says she did release an album in 2014, but it's not on RYM.

(And yes, Edsilia was good too.)

If The Three EPs doesn’t count please boost everything by one.

I have been tallying votes for The Three E.P.s. It is borderline, but including it is very different from including more traditional compilations, and excluding it seems mean spirited.

I have been tallying votes for The Three E.P.s. It is borderline, but including it is very different from including more traditional compilations, and excluding it seems mean spirited.

I left it of because I thought it was not eligible. I edited my list to include it on 4th place.
