'Eurovision is just a song contest - what's so special?'

If it weren’t for Eurovision, I wouldn’t know…

About the Crimean Tatar deportation That San Marino, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Andorra even existed Which countries were in the USSR When each country claimed independence About the Bosnian War and the Sarajevo Siege All the things I know now about the World Wars The connections each country have with each other and their relationship with their neighbours About the Nagorno Karabakh battle About the Armenian Genocide

Also a lot more! And of course, I wouldn’t know about all the people in the community and all the amazing artists that spend hours upon hours to do their best on stage for 3 minutes :) That’s what makes Eurovision special to me :D

I learnt so much about the Armenia-Azerbaijan hostilities, the history of the conflict between Greece and Turkey and how Cyprus fits into that, the persecution of the Saami people in Scandinavia, how Tito broke Yugoslavia away from the USSR (diplomatically), the Yugoslav break-up wars, and lots about the relationships between various countries and peoples in Europe because of the Contest. Sure, it may not have actually taught me these things, but it gave me the impetus to look it all up.

💥BREAKING ESC NEWS💥 HIDDEN IMAGES DISCOVERED IN THE LOGO AND SLOGAN OF THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Eurovision 2016 may be over, but we will never stop bringing the latest news to our readers. After carefully examining this year’s slogan and logo, we have come to this shocking conclusion: Both the logo and the slogan contain hidden images of Serhat, who represented San Marino with his song “I didn’t know”. We still don’t know how and why those images were put in the official logo, but we WILL find out why. Stay tuned.

What I learned From Eurovision 2016

  • Petra and Måns worked amazingly well together. By far the best eurovision hosts. I enjoyed them so much
  • Stockholm 2016>>>>>>Malmö 2013, either by quality of the songs or atmosphere
  • Stockholm 2016 also beats Vienna 2015 by a mile
  • The musical numbers were FLAWLESS. “Man vs. Machine” and “Love Love Peace Peace” have a special place in my heart now
  • UNPREDICTABLE AF. DRAMA AF. Those last minutes gave me so much anxiety tbh.
  • With the new voting system ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. Dreams really do come true. Eurovision is ultimately being Disney-fied.
  • LIKE WHO EVEN SAW POLAND COMING????
  • FYI HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN 600 POINTS AND BEAT EVERY OTHER COUNTRY THAT WAS AHEAD WITH THE JURY VOTES THIS IS AMAZING
  • Every one has a love-hate relationship with the voting system, however no one can deny that it fuels Tumblr and Twitter drama to the extreme
  • Guess what? Ukraine won and it was actually well deserved??
  • Jamala is my new queen and I bow down to her
  • Needless to say, Rybak’s record was beaten. He looked very dead inside
  • Australia ALMOST won and Europe was weeping. 
  • Russia had every one biting their nails. Ultimately they got 3rd. Keep being dangerous, Russia.
  • I really agreed more with the jury vote? Sorry Sergey!!!
  • Sweden got the place another country deserved TO NO ONE’S SURPRISE. Keep being predictable, Sweden
  • France actually did well fuck me
  • France and UK switch places year after year, in terms of placing.
  • UK did get more points than last year (even 12 points from Jury vote) but they still got 24th place
  • Germany…
  • They didn’t get 0 points
  • ANIME WAS A MISTAKE
  • WERE WE TALKING ABOUT UNPREDICTABLE? Donny Montell was the most successful of the Baltic Boys. He got 9th. He was in the top 10. Justs placed 15th. We’ll get to the tragic story of Jüri later…
  • Tumblr, your predictions are shit
  • Bulgaria came 4th so that’s good
  • Bulgaria was the most successful Balkan country. Serbia didn’t do very well and the others didn’t do at all
  • Israel deserved better
  • Serbia deserved better
  • Croatia deserved BETTER
  • CZECH REPUBLIC DESERVED BETTER
  • Azerbaijan got what they deserved
  • HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE
  • Can we talk about how hot the moldovan spokesperson was pls send her next year
  • Subliminal message somewhere in the middle of the show
  • Douwe Bob and Amir Haddad. THE NETHERLANCE
  • THE NETHERLANCE BEATS SWESTRALIA ANY DAY
  • Justin Timberlake was as american as he could get. Welcome to Europe, Justin!
  • Norway didn’t give Sweden any points. Finland gave them 12. Denmark gave them 6. And that kids is an example of an arithmetic mean.
  • Ok so no one saw those results coming. Can we talk about those semi-final results?
  • Jüri Pootsmann placed in the very last place in the first semi-final. Was everyone asleep that day?
  • NOT ONLY DID HE NOT GET THROUGH HE WAS ALSO LAST IN HIS SEMI
  • THIS IS THE WORST RESULT ESTONIA HAS EVER ACHIEVED
  • HOW DO
  • Low-key expecting him to return with a bloody revenge
  • J Poots did not deserve this shit
  • Greece and Bosnia didn’t qualify for the first time ever. The spokespersons looked very dead inside
  • Greece seemed like they didn’t even want to be there
  • Advice to Greece: Take a break like Ukraine did. SEE WHERE IT GOT THEM?
  • SEE YOU IN UKRAINE NEXT YEAR BITCHES
  • I mean friends. You’re all lovely
