It's time for smoke, wind machines, swearing at the national juries, and drunkenly figuring out bloc voting is going to go this year! Last year, Netta took her Pikachu home right back to Israel, where this year's contest is being held in Tel Aviv, for the first time in 20 years since the country last won the contest! edit: This was the live performance, but those jerks have geoblocked the 2018 live videos outside Europe, so instead have Lynda Woodruff's cover of it, plus Eric Saade covered in feathers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceFmiihREw0 This year's contest takes place the week of 12 May with 41 countries participating. Semi-Final 1 is on 14 May, Semi-Final 2 is on 16 May, and the Grand Final is on 18 May. This year's contest is happening at the Expo Tel Aviv. In... Tel Aviv!  Once a year, the internet becomes flooded with ridiculously strange/awesome images, GIFs, and music videos that resemble nothing so much as American Idol on LSD. The Eurovision Song Contest is the longest-running annual international TV song competition, held primarily among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1956. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Viewers in the countries of the Participating Broadcasters are invited to vote for their favourite songs (without the possibility of voting for the song representing their own country) by means of televoting, which shall be implemented in all the countries of the Participating Broadcasters. In both Semi-Finals and in the Final, the final scores of the songs in each country shall be calculated on the basis of both the results of televoting and the National Jury's vote. Since 2008, the Eurovision Song Contest consists of three live shows, aired prime-time to millions of homes across Europe. During two Semi-Finals, viewers and juries across Europe determine which countries will be represented in the Final.  Some famous artists have gotten their start in the ESC, such as Celine Dion and ABBA. Why we actually care is this contest gives life to performances that can only be described as Eurovision such as the ones mentioned below (Though there are many others as well.) Winning the Eurovision Song Contest provides a short-term boost to the winning artists' career, but rarely results in long-term success.  14 May. Voting open to participating countries plus France, Israel and Spain.  Cyprus - Tamta - Replay Montenegro - D mol - Heaven Finland - Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman - Look Away Poland - Tulia - Fire of Love (Pali się) Slovenia - Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl - Sebi Czech Republic - Lake Malawi - Friend Of A Friend Hungary - Joci Pápai - Az én apám Belarus - ZENA - Like It Serbia - Nevena Božović - Kruna Belgium - Eliot - Wake Up Georgia - Oto Nemsadze - Keep on Going Australia - Kate Miller-Heidke - Zero Gravity Iceland - Hatari - Hatriđ mun sigra Estonia - Victor Crone - Storm Portugal - Conan Osiris - Telemóveis Greece - Katerine Duska - Better Love San Marino - Serhat - Say Na Na Na 16 May. Voting open to participating countries plus Germany, Italy and the UK.  Armenia - Srbuk - Walking Out Ireland - Sarah McTernan - 22 Moldova - Anna Odobescu - Stay Switzerland - Luca Hänni - She Got Me Latvia - Carousel - That Night Romania - Ester Peony - On A Sunday Denmark - Leonora - Love Is Forever Sweden - John Lundvik - Too Late For Love Austria - PĆNDA - Limits Croatia - Roko - The Dream Malta - Michela - Chameleon Lithuania - Jurij Veklenko - Run With The Lions Russia - Sergey Lazarev - Scream Albania - Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju tokës Norway - KEiiNO - Spirit In The Sky The Netherlands - Duncan Laurence - Arcade North Macedonia - Tamara Todevska - Proud Azerbaijan - Chingiz - Truth On 18 May the top 10 countries from the semi-finals will join Israel, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK in the Grand Final. The big 5 get in the final automatically because they bankroll a large portion of the costs of the event.  Israel - Kobi Marimi - Home France - Bilal Hassani - Roi Germany - S!sters - Sister Italy - Mahmood - Soldi Spain - Miki - La Venda United Kingdom - Michael Rice - Bigger Than Us The contest is open to members of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) and Israel is a part of it. Australia is just special. Does UK get the boot after Brexit?   This section is usually longer, but all that's really changed this year is that Bulgaria and Ukraine have left the competition. Nobody's come back, so we're at 41 this year.  Chat with Goons in Discord! Join us in irc.synirc.net channel #eurovision as we get ready for this year, and drink straight through it!

Goon vote at http://crucialweb.net/eurovision as usual. I usually do test runs of the site to make sure it works but I won’t be able to do that this year so we’ll just have to hope for the best. The drinking rule sheet I have I believe is the one that the Op used to have, which is http://crucialweb.net/eurovision/drinking I believe I made a few edits just so you can print it across two pages cleanly. There’s also a Eurovision Drinking Twitter feed that takes the hard part out but I have no idea how well it’ll sync.

I had been looking for this! Really looking forward this year as it seems we finally might have a chance to win this thing again. The Netherlands is sending in a really good, catchy song, sung by someone who can actually sing! Now to go watch/listen to all the other songs...

Australia's entry this year was chosen by popular vote as opposed to executives due to last years disaster. Also Dami Im was robbed so hard because of Ukraine/Russia bullshit and we're still not over it.

I am thinking of a song/video, but I can't remember what it is called. It's basically the sleaziest old motherfucker ever (with a 'stache?) singing while being surrounded by dancing young women. I think it was from the Balkans.

Was it Serhat representing San Marino in 2016? Anyhow, his live performance was geoblocked so here's the official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYKFKgwVbV4 Good news is that he's back again this year.
