Russia just won the international Eurovision Song Contest. To those of you who don't know, it's a contest where 42 European countrys participate with a song(it has to bee a song never preformed before), wich they choose by individual elections. Then the 25 best are chosen for the final, held in the capital of last years winning country. The songs are preformed and all countrys give points from 1-12(exept there is no 11). Russia just won, after a close battle with Greece, but they won three years ago. Norway(where I live) came 5th.

It's much older than Idol(54 years now), and it's not from America(duh). It's inernational(in Europe, anyway) the singers can be well known already, but they have to use new songs. Also, after losing, the other countrys complain that it's all about politics, 'cause most countrys give high points to their neighbours. This year they're b*itching about the Soviet Union voting for Russia, but so did the rest of us(!) and Russia has never won before either...

I gave up Eurovision once I realized the contest was not about the good song but about loving or hating the neighbours...but well Timbaland rules anyway

If it's really like that, how come there's a new winner every year. We do give good points to our neighbours, but lets remeber, we're the same kin of people with smiliar taste in music. Besides, every country only has like three countries or less on the friends-list, and exept from that, we vote for the best song.

Not to mendtion Waterloo, the Eurovision song of all time (it was actually voted that during the 50 year anniversary). ABBA is from Sweeden, our closest neighbour.
