Two years ago to this day I was sitting on my couch in London flicking my 3 illegal channels when all of the sudden a life altering TV moment occurred- the Eurovision Finals. I thought it was the kind of thing that only existed in scary Eastern European fairy tales but there it was... and HERE IT IS! Behold.
What the F is this? Where do I begin. Eurovision is a song competition that has been rockin the mic in Europe for 50 years. It uses televotes submitted from about 100 million viewers continent-wide to create You Tube sensations... I mean world POP STARS. Erm.
Any citizen in their respective country can submit a song and the one who represents that country is chosen usually via radio contest. Then Eurovision sucks them up for a head to head of epic proportions that I still don't understand the rules to.
Their best success story? ABBA. Yes people this is real. This is not a drill.
Why am I telling you? Because the 2009 contest starts next week!!!
Here is something to blow your mind. If I haven't already.
