Eurovision Song Contest - Can It Beat American Idol?

Eurovision Song Contest, a new show to me, not to the Europeans...

This particular reality show calls participants from countries all over Europe to put in their song for a competition to see which song will be the one most favoured by people of Europe. This year's was the 54th edition of the contest, held in Moscow, Russia, following the winning of Dima Bilan in last year's.

This year's winner was Alexander Rybak from Norway, with his song "Fairytale" which he wrote and composed himself. Second place goes to Iceland, third to Azerbaijan, fourth to Turkey and fifth to United Kindgom.

So far, the songs I've heard from the finalists of this year's competition was superb! I can't really tell what's the "X Factor" in their songs, but they are really good! Also, this competition is not like Malaysia's "Akademi Fantasia" and United States' "American Idol" because this competition uses new, never-before-heard songs from countries in Europe. So, we will be in a surprise to actually hearing new songs each year from this competition.

Out of 5 stars, I'll give this show 4.7 and I'm looking forward t actually watch this show next year, which will be held from 25th-29th May, 2010 in Oslo, Norway. I suggest you all to watch this show, ONLINE at www.eurovision.tv

With all due respect,
