A fact: Ten of the songs in this final are written by Swedes. We're good at exporting horrible music, that for some reason is very popular. Luckily we're good at good music too.
What is the coverage like in your countries? Over here we have a 'commentator' who basically sits there with a few bottles of wine making jokes about pretty much everything. Terry Wogan used to do it, but it's done by Graham Norton now. I much prefer Graham Norton. To be honest, it's the only reason we watch Eurovision in the UK, to laugh at everyone, including ourselves.
I'm sure there's a country out there that actually takes the event seriously...
