Who is excited about next month's Eurovision song contest?
43 countries - including AUSTRALIA for the 2nd time - competing, two packed semi-final shows, one awesome final, all in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2016. Where are all those crazy Australian fans? Are you ready?
Who are your favorite entries this year? What are winner songs for you?
How do you watch it? What do you do (food, drink, games) during the ESC nights?
Lot's of upbeat songs this year.
Finland, Netherland, Russia, Armenia(!!!), Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Belarus, Australia XOXOXO, and Belgium
are acts I am really looking forward to.

Also: China is broadcasting the show live since the last time Denmark won ... now they want to start their own format based on the Eurovision! Quote

. Not with a Danish song of course, but maybe you want to listen to the strangest language on Earth? 
Here a translation of the lyrics "Hjerteløst - Heartless":

... in the Superbowl, competitors of equal strength, experience and training meet for a showdown:
you never know who is gonna pop up on the Eurovision stage, young or old, celebrity or newbie, rapper, rocker, opera singer, jester, stripper, astronaut, monster masked heavy metal band ...
... they face each other in a game governed by strict rules monitored by fans and referees:
you NEVER know what is gonna happen in Eurovision, a true night of artistry and on-stage magic, fans are judges and all want something different ...
... all takes place on a well groomed field:
this is one and the same stage? Cages, animals, trampolines, barbed wire, transparent pianos, water tanks, 150.000 Swarowsky stones, and 71 million pixels in the background allow for every artist do to whatever they can come up with ...
... it features the highest paid and most anticipated commercials:
if you see a commercial during Eurovision, it will be a quick one by your local broadcaster, the show must go on, though in some countries they block the transmission of specific countries with longer breaks
...... everybody is looking forward to the intermediate show act:
because it features water fontains, Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, Riverdance, Australia plugging itself between UK and Scandinavia to participate, and .?!. No? Oh, sorry, Eurovision again ...
... it is not a good idea to be an openly gay participant:
last year a reporter asked poor Måns if he believed that he "only won" because of the sympathies of all the gay viewers *giggles*, that was AFTER the Bearded Lady won
...... everybody wears pretty much the same outfit:
dresses, staging and props are a well guarded secret ... THAT is more like the Oscars
and a reason to peak into those 20-30 seconds of rehearsals for each participant. I am immensely happy and proud to see an Israelian gay man on stage this year and like Paulina, Russia, last year all covered in Swarowsky stones ...

China is doing that since 2013! Australia is our biggest fan for decades and contributing to the show since 2013, having participated also with a contestant the past two years! Welcome all! The Old World is the New Crazy

It would be nice to know how your fellow North Americans liked it. Did you watch ALL of it or only the songs
? I've once been kicked out of a bar during the voting phase, because they had to close for the night
.Justin Timberlake has clearly written ESC history with his contribution to the show!
If you are not convinced yet that the Eurovision Song Contest is one of the craziest events we celebrate here, search for Eurovision Bingo cards
, that's THE party/drinking game for viewers at home.
