The choir version of Euphoria was one of the greatest things I've ever heard, perfectly done

I've always been quite interested in what Americans or other non europeans think of Eurovision, I love it but it must be even more ridiculous than normal to someone who doesn't know anything about it

As an American, I've never fully understood how the Eurovision contest works, only that it exists and some of the songs are strange. Mostly from the former Soviet Block countries as I remember them. That said, based on what I know of it. It seems pretty interesting and fun to me. Of course, I watch a lot of European TV, and am barely first gen American myself with some very British tendencies. Nothing like the rednecks I'm surrounded by now, in Ohio.

The only two songs I really remember are the Abba song from way back when, and the Salvation Army band from a more recent contest.

Part of me wishes there was a North American one, but really, there aren't enough countries, and there's only so much Mexican accordian music I can take without wanting to shoot myself, and I lived in LA where I was used to it.

No way was it better IMHO in terms of the music but the visual spectacle yeah it was pure Eurovision!

You never know what to expect!!

There was also a fun programme on the BBC on Wednesday called 'How to win Eurovision' where the two presenters (one addict e.g. me and one non-believer e.g. Prospero!) presented clips illustrating some of the dire things that Europe's done to music and the visual arts in the hope of winning the contest. Catch it on iPlayer!

I love the presenters from BBC three they have made the both semi finals much fun for me....
I think Bonnie Tyler will end in the top 15 for sure...Like i said most people knows who is Bonnie Tyler and she was so friendly so fun there which is good ...The one from the last year end up on the last place not because of the political diffrence ,its because he was behaving like he was Michael Jackson.
