Okay basically the Eurovision Song Contest is this big competition that happens every year between loads of European countries.

Loads of them go in then finalists are selected then they all compete and people from the other European countries vote.
And you can give other countries anything from 1 to 12 points each.

The country that wins it hosts the competition next year with an automatic spot.

And every year United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany are guaranteed places.

the eurovision song contest is often being mentioned in the german channel dw-tv's pop-x-port so i might have heard some things about them, i think their whole continent-wide singing contest idea is kinda cool. Wink

I watched and I find most songs pretty crappy. It's not about talent anymore.

I agree bonedaddy... Its so political these days, its like all the related countries vote for each other. Its not really a music contest anymore. Its more of a political debate

It's so funny to watch though...It's never really been about music, it's been about entertaining...If the band/people have a good presence on stage people will like them thus make them vote for them, phone-in 'talent' shows are all about the presence and the look, it's got nothing to actually do with talent.

4)Disappear By No Angels
and
5)Secret Combination By kALOMIRA

Yeah it sucks now its all political, cos Britain wasnt as bad as some of the countries this year.
Problem is, nowhere else in Europe really likes us.

Or Germany or Poland apparently.
