The Eurovision Song Contest Is The Original Reality Singing Show

The song contest has been going since 1956 and it pits European countries against each other to see who can write the best and most infectious tune. Celine Dion, France Gall, ABBA, and Katrina and the Waves are all past winners. Today, the final prize went to Loreen of Sweden with "Euphoria," but decide for yourself whether she deserved it...
