haha

I think Elia and Cath were just talking about this in the spam thread. I've never even heard of this. Is it an American Idol type thing or what? :unsure:

(Don't laugh at me if the answer is totally obvious by watching the video you just linked, 'cause I can't right now. lol)

its a european thing LOL

its a song contest ...every country sends in a band (max. 6 people) and they sing (mostly terrible) and it has like 6 billion people watching it every year ..who than get the chance to televote for the winner

recently they split it up in a couple of semi-finals (too many countries were joining LOL)


as expected...belgium didn't make the cut

I gathered it was a European thing (being called "Eurovision" and all, lol). Sounds weird. Maybe I'll check out the videos you linked above later for a laugh.

this is the only belgian winner EVER LOL

Sandra Kim "J'aime la Vie" ...she was 14 at the time (still is a singer today) ...that was before the minimum age was brought up to 17
