Eurovision international song competition -

I think today is the 70th Anniversary finals. I first stumbled upon the channel on Youtube in 2021 and was entertained, although I knew that Abba was first noticed for their entry of Waterloo back in the 70s. Looks as though being there for the live final performances would be a blast. It seems too prejudiced towards electronic dance music, but also songs performed in English apparently have greater appeal than German for instance.
Have seen a few performances that I would prefer for the Superbowl over what we've been getting.

It appears that the finals livestream began already. Who you got?
Seems that France is considered one of the favorites, although in French.

My favorite is receiving criticism as glorifying deviant sex, but it is a really good rocker.

Australia has a nice entry, so why does the U.S. not participate?

Not going to inflict all the '26 entries on the board, but maybe a couple entertaining ones from first visit back in '21. Cute singer, Stefania Liberakakis, was 17 back then so completely legal in all countries now. Greek, but also Dutch I think, since she had another song on her channel I liked, "Swipe".

Lithuania. Get a kick out of the chubby guy dancing.

And finally, one for the O-Ters who may wander into this board, by an O-T 9. Cute song, though I don't care for feminist anthems generally.

The winner of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest was
Bangaranga - Bulgaria's first winner ever, posted above.
Second place was Israel, whose participation was protested by five countries which boycotted the contest, including Spain. Do you think political issues should influence international music contests, or sports like the Olympics or World Cup?

We fought two wars with Great Britain so we don’t have to care about this.

LOL! Spent a few days in Bulgaria. Great country to visit BTW.
I stay in touch with someone from Bulgaria we met on a cruise a few years ago. Her comments today on that:
Those who know me know that my work meets people from over 12 nations! Well this morning I'm going to work at 5 And instead of Good morning, every whole morning greets me with Bangarangaaa ??, it is a success for Bulgaria! And most importantly, no matter how mixed opinions there are about the song, Europe appreciated it. May be it's time to get out of social thinking and open our eyes to Western Europe. I also do not tolerate Western European propaganda of gendarism and Satanism, but in our song I do not see any of these, but rather a modern European sound, which is of course Ganyo, who does not know English, has no way to translate ??, and Western Europe, excluding the above-mentioned 2 minus, there are and 200plus compared to our Balkan thinking syndrome as I like to call it.
Bulgaria broke out with something normal in Europe, bravo to the girl who fought to the end and succeeded.
The staging was heavily inspired by the traditional Bulgarian Kukeri ritual, featuring costumed figures who chase away evil spirits. Look it up. It's an amazing site.
You would not believe the excitement and pride brought this small country. Bulgaria's first-ever Eurovision victory!
