What do people in your country think about ESC?

[Impressive]

I wish people knew what Eurovision is. Then they would think about it.

Edit: I just saw Little's post. And OMG 3 3

Turkish people are like "Duuuuh,Eurovision,is like the worst contest ever.It´s all like,bad bubblegum pop.Nobody cares it except us,duuuh."
And it sounds really stupid after seeing MF,MGP and so...

 

[justjazzy]

Most people in the US don't know what it is. And when I do run in to someone who knows what it is, their reaction is usually "HAHAHAHA! That is such a campy show."

To each his own I say. I love Eurovision, and I don't care if people think it's silly.

Indonesians don't know what eurovision is, except a little minority of Indonesians. But because of Anggun joined ESC last year, the popularity of the song contest in the country increased a little bit. ABBA and Celine Dion are famous here but no one probably cares about them won ESC

I haven't heard people talk about ESC while I was in other countries like Turkey and the Netherlands.

But Jedward made it to the front of German magazines.

EURGH! Well... in the UK everyone who doesn't like it likes to think they know EVERYTHING about it. Everyone who likes it I swear lives and breathes the contest and takes it far too seriously. But we all use ESC as an excuse to get merry!

Well i would say pretty much the same however i would say that EVERYONE has heard of it, and people don't really speak of it. Its the ultimate guilty pleasure. People are like eurovision, really?... But watch it. No one admits it.

I guess more and more people are starting to know what Eurovision is in the States. I mean this year, some people that I know (that I've never talked about Eurovision to) watched the final online.

 

[Evangeline]

Well, Anouk has made it more popular, we were ashamed of entries like the Toppers and Sieneke. I hope a second Anouk will step forward.

Lol I know the difference between "merry" and "marry" haha it was a joke!

Definitely - I remember my ex boyfriend saying how ridiculous I was for loving eurovision so much, but guess what, he still watched it! Even said to me he really enjoyed Azerbaijan.

In people are extremely pessimist. Every year, even if they don't know our entry yet they say : We will not win. 2 oh gosh
