Following the cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, the EBU and its Dutch Members NPO, NOS and AVROTROS are excited to confirm they are producing a new show, 'Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light', to air in place of the Grand Final on Saturday 16 May at 21:00 CEST.

Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light will honour all 41 songs, in a non-competitive format, as well as providing plenty of surprises for fans and viewers at home. The show will be hosted by Dutch Eurovision presenters Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley (Eurovision 1998 and 2007) and Jan Smit.
Sounds pretty rear end but I guess it's better that nothing. Also, it's only two hours long and airing on Youtube, lol.

It's where you jack off in front of an unwilling but intimidated victim, except while smoking.

A bunch of countries in Europe and a couple Middle East ones, plus sometimes Australia for some reason, all send musicians to represent them in a big contest. Most of the countries just send bland ballads or pop ballads that sound the same, but one or two songs are actually good and have interesting stage performances. Though I wouldn't call the best of this year "good", borderline mediocre.

The rest all sounds like this

Some of it has bass drops, some of it has this slow piano music but it's all so generically bad.


One of those rare good songs. Nothing this year reached that height.

It's a song contest where countries can prove they like another country by voting for their song. Like Sweden and Finland always give each other high points. It's extremely an euro thing you wouldn't get it.

I don't know, I was pretty impressed with the guy from last year. Not with the song, or singing, or staging, I've just never seen anybody eat a meat pie mid-song before

I think I love the idea of Eurovision more than the actual event. Every year I see the thread and I'm like gently caress ya gonna watch Eurovision, but then I just watch all the classics that get linked on the first page and forget about it until next year.

No it's just spangly Europop if you lose the political voting. And the screaming in rage at your TV as the scores dome in is part of the joy

I'll take your word for it. Me and my friends are usually too drunk from the eurovision drinking game to know whats happening when the scores roll in.
