'Ha ha, Americans don't know what music is! All they hear is gunfire every day and GO SPORTS TEAM!"

Eurovision isn't even really music, more like a big international drag show.

Did you see last year's winner?

Hardly a show tune!

This year featured heavy metal, country and house.

I did. He was super pretentious about his "art" and I was so disappointed! I was glad that there was a bit of metal this year to make up for how boring the show was. (Honestly, those last two years were really boring.)

I'm not the person you replied to, but it's definitely more about the show than the music and has been for a long time.

There are literally whole groups of people who get together in Eurovision parties to watch the nutters rather than see the music. Some countries are known for bringing the weird and they're definitely more enjoyable than the 4 forgettable ballads that crawl in every year.

Indeed, the best part of the Eurovision for many British people is the commentary from Graham Norton (and formerly Terry Wogan) because seeing fantastic Irish people take the piss out of the crappy acts and silly show is a good portion of the fun. I find it a bit hard to believe that a lot of people watch it for, uh, musical appreciation, but ... maybe they do, who knows.

The countries who send boring acts are probably the ones who take the show too seriously. It's pretty much an expensive joke at this point and that's the best bit.

"Who knows what hellish future lies ahead? Actually I do, I've seen the rehearsals." - Terry Wogan's commentary on Eurovision LOL

RIP Sir Terry

Well to each their own, but the quality has been rising year by year. Both Cyprus and Israel are modern pop songs that will be played on the radio this summer.

And it's not surprising that countries are making an effort - arranging the contest is a fantastic way of promoting your tourism industry.
