Good evening Moscow!
Yep, it's that time of the year again. In fact, it's only hours away! Glitter! Glamour! Awful music! Bad haircuts! Fake tans! Hilarious accents! Comedy metal! Suits that suddenly turn into dresses! Ice skating! Petty nationalist voting! England making a fool of itself! Lots of completely unnecessary exclamation marks! !!
It's also the night we get to see how well Greece has managed its annual assignment of combining whiter than white® clothes, an insanely complicated dance routine (culminating in a clever flip, jump or leap), and a girl named Maria into yet another irresistibly catchy tune! The night that Eastern Europe puts fear into the hearts of, well, pretty much everyone else!
Want to know who will win before the show even begins? Just us this handy chart and a calculator!
It's the Eurovision Song Contest! aaaaaagh! The TV equivalent of staring at a 12 year old girl's Myspace profile for 5 hours!
Let the madness begin!
