Ukraine won two years ago, and their winning singer Ruslana was successful in drawing large crowds to the Maidan for the ORange revolution.

Eurovision migth be as a silly contest as American Idol or other digusting stuff shown on American MTV. Why should not we care about Eurovision ?

The only reason I will be watching it on May 20th is out of pure curiosity and of course because I want to see people's reaction to the Armenian entry Andre about whom I know almost nothing. Undoubtedly I will be telling all of my none Armenian friends here to watch and vote because any media coverage of Armenia is better than none at all, even if it is in a vomit inducing cheese-fest !
