General ► We need to talk about Eurovision

[AegisXIII]

Cite me an event, bigger than the superbowl and that Americans rarely know about? That's right, that's Eurovision. Each year, nations send their most flamboyant contestants in a singing competition. Some argue that's why european countries don't go to war with one another. We simply fight at Eurovision.

Now, we need to talk about this year finest choice:

What the f*** was this?

And this?

And we should not forget about this one as well:

Only the last video appears to be available to watch in the US but holy hell, that was quite a way to start my Monday 😳

Really? Oh that's a bummer. Apparently they really do not want US to know that this contest exist. 😂
I will try to find a solution.

I managed to find a piece of the second one without restrictions:

I’m so mad I missed it this year. I’m not European but I absolutely enjoy watching the contest

I heard the US are gonna get their own singing competition. I hope it's gonna be as flamboyant as ours.

Ugh end me. It won’t. It will be trash. Half of America is into country music so it would be hell for me hahaha

Oh no that's not the spirit at all indeed. The goal of shows like this is to experiment and invent new music types. People need to genuinely ask: what the f*** is that? while watching. 😂

I don’t quite think Americans know how to do that. They balk at wild and crazy stuff like Lil Nas X. I’m sure if people tried to do something like that, we’d never hear the end of it from some people.

To be honest, I do not think the US would be able to keep politics out of this. And that's the most important rule of all: no politics in songs.

Have you heard about Little Big? They were supposed to participate last year. It seems to me that it would definitely be a victorious performance.
