I'm curious, does anyone here watch the Eurovision Song Contest?
I'm not afraid to say that I look forward to it every year. Yes it's weird but that's what it's about!

ok basically every European country sends singer or group Represent their country, there are 2 semi finals and some automatic entries which are UK, Germany, Spain, Italy and France, to create 24 countries in the final. on the night all 24 songs are song and then there is voting where you can vote for anyone except your home country. The country with the most points wins the contest and hosts the following year. 180 million people watch this show every year, and every year they complain about the voting

just be warned, if you watch the song and think they are rubbish or you think wtf is going on, then welcome to Eurovision, considering that you have had heavy metal act and bearded lady wins the title, as well as alot of weird and wonderful acts in the last 50 years of the contest

Don't take this the wrong way but is that a joke song or is that a real group and if they are I'm sorry you had to listen to them lol

yes its a real group from a real country, and sometimes countries dont take the competition as seriously as others, lol

Yeah normally seems to be the case. A lot of countries throwing a joke act, or a group that haven't been around for 20 years or so.

or even 35 years after they were big, like Engelbert Humperdinck who was 76 when he represented UK in 2012, and everyone thought it was a joke when it was announced

Just a shame the voting is corrupt though.

Yeah it's very influenced by world politics, who gets along with who and as Chaos said, neighbours.
Sir Terry Wogan, who presented it for years actually stopped presenting it in the end due to the corruption. It's silly really, because the contest means nothing lol.

even though it voting is "rigged" we still watch it, just to laugh at some of the other countries entries and hope that we have a decent showing, unlike the year we had this act represent us
god I hated this song so much
