Eurovision is.....

[loira]

I think Eurovision is like American Idol, only with established musicians competing. The viewers get to vote in the final, I think. Maybe. I honestly don't watch it, but I did have a colleague who was super into it.

This nails it. It's also a wonderful excuse to get hammered.

We went to Ireland around this same time of year in 2008. Every bar/pub we went to had Eurovision playing. They all seemed so amused by the whole thing and were like "silly Americans" when we were obviously less anamored.

The bearded lady is the winner from last year.

Shhhh. Don't question Eurovision. Just go with it.

Eurovision is the tits.
When I did my college year abroad we had huge Eurovision parties for the expats to watch. Everyone died of shame when their country performed.
The songs are notoriously crap and the voting notoriously political. It was the best night ever.

Eurovision is awesome! That is Conchita, she won last year. The songs this year were actually pretty good! Ireland's was crap. They didn't make it to the final.

Each country voted on their entry, which is chose in Feb/March time. Then there are 2 semi finals and last night was the big night. I love it.

Conchita is awesome. She won last year and has an amazing voice. I like Eurovision, I completely forgot that it was on last night though, so I missed it!
