It's that time of the year again when I try to force you all to listen to Eurovision songs and become as obsessed with them as I am. It's a fun time to be my friend lets put it that way! I'll be honest, the day that they cancelled the contest last year was one of the worst days of 2020 for me. I genuinely cried I was so upset, trivial yes but after dedicating months of your life to something, to have it torn away from you was just a little emotional okay! I've done two of these posts before, way back in 2017 and then also last year. Eurovision has been such a huge part of my life for the longest time. I've been watching the contest every year since 2008 but I didn't start following the contest properly until 2016. I feel like people, especially in the UK, have a bit of preconception of what to expect with Eurovision so this post is really here to show that there really is no such thing as 'Eurovision Music' and that this contest, that a lot of people don't take seriously, is actually such a great source of music and so many great songs and artists come out of it every year. Arcade by Duncan Laurence, which you may know because it is currently in the UK charts, actually won the contest back in 2019! As usual, this isn't my personal top ten (I'll likely make a video on that at some point soon so keep your eyes peeled over on my youtube channel for that!) but just a few songs that I think have a universal appeal that people not familiar with the contest could find some enjoyment in. I've included a selection of different genres so hopefully, there's something that suits your tastes here. Also, enjoy me milking the use out of this t-shirt I bought when I went to the contest in 2018 because it gets wheeled out every year at every party.
