In a world that is so divided, this is one night to see that we are all not so different from one another. I am from Ohio and started watching this in 2018. From then on it has opened my heart and mind to welcome differences. Music unites us all. May peace prevail. ♥️🤍💙
Yes and no. American singers can compete in Eurovision but they would have to represent a different country not their own because the USA is not in Eurovision.
I'm really glad that US media is giving Eurovision more attention. I mean it is an institution in Europe - an entire continent for Pete's sake! And while it does have its share of crazy entries, it also has a lot of straight up just good music! I really think all of the US should be more aware of things outside of the US in general, but I'm partial to Eurovision. I don't think folks in the US should interfere in it too much, but they did have Justin Timberlake one year, and Madonna another year as interval acts.
As an American who’s watching Eurovision this year, I’m so excited to see the competition gain more recognition stateside!!
Me too! But like I said, the stereotypes and making light of it have got to go!
The atmosphere in Liverpool is fantastic, love it
I always describe Eurovision as European football, but without the hooliganism and bloodshed.
Hi, Alesia! ❤

"Never heard of this before" those words hurt 😭
I Went to the Jury final on the Friday - it was Epic and Liverpool didi Ukraine proud
Flo Rida was actually on Eurovision funnily enough! So that counts as an American act right?
He sang with Senhit for San Marino.

😅 I beg that they keep Madonna away at all costs.
@@0hffs yeah, I was kind of looking forward to her but it was a bust, unfortunately!
