About the Eurovision Song Contest:
Ever since I first watched the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004, I've been fascinated by the annual festival. The question why I love the festival so much, is a tough one to answer. However, the element of competition and the spectacle, the stories and the people from all over Europe, and the songs you never want to forget or would like to forget as quick as possible, all play a role.
