I’m calling it now, the Eurovision Song Contest should be an annual holiday. It’s got everything – talented musicians, over-the-top costumes, wacky performances and fierce competition. As the biggest and longest-running music competition in the world, it’s also responsible for catapulting global treasures like ABBA, Celine Dion and t.A.T.u. (All The Things She Said!!!) to fame.
It’s also one big, beautiful party. Racking up over 183 million viewers worldwide in 2021, it unites a whole chunk of the world to celebrate music from other cultures, with artists performing in all different languages. (As a side-note, I reckon Eurovision teaches us more about Europe than high school geography ever did. Sorry, Mr. Craden.)
