Eurovision? What the heck is that right?
I thought the same thing 6 years ago.
Eurovision is some wacky, super duper awesome music competition between many of the European countries. Think American Idol on a much much much bigger scale, and much more exciting. (At least in my opinion)
Tonight I will be watching the finals in Denmark at 9:00pm, while Michael watches them online (http://www.eurovision.tv/splash/index.html) at 2pm Dallas time. He was completely bummed when he realized he would be in Dallas and miss it until I saw he could watch too. The voting is interesting. You text in your vote but you cannot vote for the country you are in. Every country then tallies their points and gives them to another country. They give 1 through 8 points to their lowest choices and 10 and 12 points to their favorite contestants. The country in the end with the most points wins and gets to host next years Eurovision.
This year, Denmarks contestant made it to the finals.... He is quite good.
Check him out!
GO DENMARK!!!

I think you described it perfectly! "Wacky, super duper awesome" is what it is. It used to be very kitschy but I think many countries now choose acts that are more updated but you probably know that better than I. It's been quite a few years since I watched it. One year, while we were living in Århus, I decided to watch it - and Denmark won! So that was pretty amazing since it hadn't happened in almost 40 years.
Nis is going to a party tonight with the cast and crew from "Den 11. time" (DR2) so maybe I'll watch it if I don't find the royal wedding more interesting.
Have fun with it!
sounds amazing.. I will have to get hooked on this when I start having my American Idol withdrawals!!!
