Is Eurovision sort of like the American Idol stuff that we in the states have and mostly suffer through as well?

Take care all.

I guess this year if Jordan goes, no-one will be paying any attention to her song.

We did get votes man! Fame Academy's James Fox came 17th with a song I can't remember. it was painful though. BTW, Javine will be going to the Eurovision and hopefully she'll pop out of her skimpy dress on live T.V again. That was sweet.

First off, I'm pretty sure Pop Idol is a British concept and we have been suffering longer. Simon Fuller came up with the idea and American Idol is one of it's many spin offs.

Basically Eurovision has been around for about 40 years and it's a song contest where something like 20 countries make it to a final and then comes massively biased political voting from each country to decide the winner. The songs, with very few exceptions, are cheesey, crappy, poppy, poopy, experiments in shizzle. If you can catch it on some random American cable channel, you should, just for the experience.

Ah, so it's closer to American Bandstand, minus the band aspect?

"First off, I'm pretty sure Pop Idol is a British concept and we have been suffering longer. Simon Fuller came up with the idea and American Idol is one of it's many spin offs."

That makes sense. Just about every reality show that the USA has was 'borrowed' from Europe as well.

Thanks for the info good sir!

Take care all.
