Eurovision goes bossanova

Someone in Greece has had the (old) idea of making bossanova versions in Brazil of the Eurovision songs and the result is very laid back and rather pleasant. But why didn't they make these songs in Portuguese then to make them sound more authentic? Some versions work very well - Ding a dong , Waterloo, Volare, L'oiseau et l'enfant and Where are you to name some - while this also makes it obvious some songs can't be saved from their poorness no matter what ( Shake it, Secret combination ). In all it gets a bit boring and sounds rather quickly made affair. But hey, if you skip some tracks and add some tracks from the other Greek invention Eurorevisions from 2006 like Die for you, Autostop and Mou los and spice it up by Nat Newborn 's bossanova version of Hard rock hallelujah and swing version of Fire night (Sata salamaa ) from 2007 you get a fantastic summer album to listen while sunbathing and enjoying some caipirinhas.
