People outside Europe may not know what the "Eurovision Song Contest" is but it was recently held and broadcast all across Europe. "Eurovision Song Contest" is a program where an singer or band from each country competes against the other countries in Europe in a big television show with people from the various countries voting. Most of the entrants sing in English although some sing in their native languages. A few countries outside Europe are in the contest such as Israel which is strange but oh well. This years contest was held in Russia which seamed to spare no expense and, put on a great show. After the last contest long time English host Sir Terry Wogan quit after complaining about the voting system; Where countries seem to vote for their neighbor countries such in the last contest where Eastern block countries were said to have voted together for Russia which won. This year there was a new voting system and a new host on the English telecast Graham Norton. Part of the fun of the show would be Sir Terry Wogan making fun of some of the contestants right before they were shown but im sure Graham Norton was entertaining to watch. I wish this show was shown in the United States and other countries are you listening BBC America oh well. Anyway this years winner was from Norway and is a catchy song and the fact he is good looking im sure didnt hurt with some of the voters so click above to watch the video.
