Beware, it's Eurovision time again! Depending on who you ask, this is either a great event that unites all of Europe in the spirit of friendly competition, or an embarrassing spectacle of the cheesiest side of European pop entertainment.
For those who don't know, this is a song contest broadcast annually throughout the continent, with each nation sending it's own submission. The winning country hosts the event the following year- this year's competition is in Russia. Many of the previous winning songs are probably unfamiliar to most US and Canadian residents, although Eurovision is responsible for inflicting ABBA and "Waterloo" on the rest of the world.
So, if you're in Europe next week, you can watch the competition on any of the national TV networks. We in the US can only see it through an internet stream on the official website:
