I know that the vast majority of members on here live outside of Europe, so if you are one of these people you may be unfamiliar with the Eurovision Song Contest. Basically, it is a contest held every year in May with a large number of European countries participating. It is broadcast all over Europe and features a diverse range of songs. Each country gets to perform one song, and after every country has performed, people can vote for their favourite song. The country which receives the most votes wins and gets to host the contest the following year.
I decided to create this thread because the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest was held last night, and I thought it would be nice for people to be able to discuss/ask about it. I watched it myself (I live in the UK) and the atmosphere is incredible. It's like a HUGE party and everyone's invited.
The UK did quite well this year compared to previous years. The problem is, everyone tends to vote for their neighbouring countries (you can't vote for your own country), and because the UK is isolated, we don't usually get many votes! :headbang
Everyone's invited to share their thoughts and discuss the Eurovision Song Contest.
