EUROVISION LOVERS UNITE!!
Americans, you don't know what you're missing.
The Eurovision Song Contest is a 52-years-young celebration of the worst pop music Europe has to offer.
It is living, breathing kitsch and the single most MST-able TV event outside of American Idol auditions.
My favourite winners:
2006 -
LORDI!!.\
1987 -
Johnny Logan1981 -
Buck's Fizz1967 -
France GallEurovision gave the world ABBA, launched the Riverdance phenomenon, Celine Dion was a winner in '88, Johnny Logan became an Irish national treasure by winning TWICE and it's compulsory BBC viewing solely because Terry Wogan gets pissed and provides hilariously biting commentary.
The official site is a good intro, but the
Wikipedia article is an engrossing several hours read, especially if you go year-by-year.
Don't ask me to explain the jokes. If you're an ESC fan, you'll know.

Or the 'your country needs you' and the Harry hill to follow...[link]
but scooch. pretty disasterous. as was josh dubove. I apologise.
have you seen this years act? [link] . nil points.
the song for UK is good - just a bit slow and not really modern enough for eurovision. i fear people will get bored
i've just listened to it for the first time and have to say yes iceland has got another brilliant entry. i don't understand how they don't win. yohanna - is it true is one of my favourite songs of all time. i absolutely love it, they always produce fantastic acts.
i hope they get through the heats ^^
I love iceland's. Play it whilst reading 'Laki' by ask Iisland (In my friends list...)
oh really - hello *waves* XD
if we win where would we host it? maybe that's why we keep being given bad acts. thinking about the inevitable it taxing.
