Is that why England sent what's 'er name? I caught the "highlights" (or lowlights depending) on TV news this morning, and she looked like a paraplegic with arms worked by strings from the rafters... (And sounded like a flat-pitched donkey being chainsawed)

What is the big deal with it? There are so many singing reality shows anyways and many do not care about them. Why anyone cares about it? Music is gauged on opinions anyways. Not a sport.

I think it's because it driven by the rivalry between countries.

FYI: "Euurovision" is not a music show or contest. The "Eurovision Song Contest" is. "Eurovision" is a television distribution network, managed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). All sorts of programs are distributed through Eurovision, from sportscasts to operas to documentaries and news.

That's like saying "The Super Bowl is only a football game". It's a tradition that's been going for nearly sixty years - people have parties and dress up as ABBA. It's a fun way to waste an evening. And maybe it contributes slightly to international peace and understanding.

In what way does the ESC even remotely resemble a reality show? It's a competitive music festival the likes of which have been going on for centuries. The only difference with this one being that it is televised live in all the participating countries (and allegedly China and Australia) and the audience gets a say in who wins. It's not a talent contest - most countries pick their performer from the top of the national music tree (a policy which UK used to adopt and may finally have realised they have to return to according to reports here this morning). And whilst it can be a tad bizarre at times that's no more bonkers than festivals which involve chucking coloured powder or tomatoes at each other. It's entertainment and spectacle and ritual, circus and gladiators all thrown into one night. Read your history. You'd be surprised how popular that sort of thing has always been!

Just one more reality show, what's the difference it's just one more right? and one more and one more... Pretty soon they will have Justin Bieber bath time reality show or...?
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever! Rich Tennant 5th Wave
