Eurovision 2008

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!!!
