All the songs for 2015 have been announced!
This year is probably one of the strongest years ever. The past 2 years have seen some great song and this year can definitely compete with those. We can use this thread to discuss thoughts on the contest this year, who you think will do well/badly, and reactions.
If you don't know what Eurovision is: the Eurovision Song Contest is a contest in which each member nation of the EBU submits a song. They are voted through the semi-finals (apart from the big 5) and in the final every member of the EBU distributes their 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 points to countries. The winner is the country with the most points. Mostly it's european countries, but this year we also have Australia thrown into the mix. Since it's the EBU and not the EU or anything, we have had countries like Morocco enter in the past. It has hundreds of millions of views every year and is (iirc) the most watched annual show of all time. It has a reputation for being a bit trashy and camp, but that's all part of the fun!
I have lots of opinions on this, but I first want to see that I'm not alone in liking Eurovision, lol.
So far, my favourites are Estonia, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Spain. What do you think?
