What is it?

Oh, just a little competition we Europeans have that involves crazy costumes, showmanship and music,

Who are the contestants?

The following gents and wents, each one representing an entire country!

Luckily, the official Eurovision site provides a free stream that is available for everyone world-wide!

Clicky, clicky!

Get mildly intoxicated and enjoy the show!

PEOPLE!
THE SECOND SEMI-FINAL IS ON TONIGHT 21:00 CET/20:00 GMT/16:00 EST/15:00 CST/14:00 MST/13:00 PST

    Can't believe the UK are putting out Blue this year.

    The most flamboyant, OTT competition in the World and we send out a dull boy band whose lyrics once included:

    "We're dancing so close...
    ...it's almost like we're sexing"

    If Moldova manages to be even half as awesome as last year I will consider this Eurovision a resounding success.

    I just kinda asssume it's happening just now. I have no idea whether that's the truth. I'm ashamed to know that Blue reformed for this though. And that Dana International is back. All world events are being overshadowded.

    God I wish for the times Tsunamis and Nuclear Disaster were knocking on our door.

    So this is a competition, by they send a representative for each country in Europe?

    How mean are the judges?

    There are no judges, which is kind of missing a trick I suppose

    Instead it's a giant public telephone vote, but it's all politics. Of course.

    They are so neighbourly biased, that the Fifa looks uncorrupt.
