Wouldnt it make more sense to to try and add North and South American countries to Eurovision and call it Pangaea or something? What? That sounds awful. I don't want to listen to lyrics from languages I can't understand. A US-only show would be better for me. How does Eurovision work anyway? Wouldn't people be biased towards songs they understand? Songs in English tend to have an advantage in Eurovision these days but there are always non-English entries which do great each year. 2016s winner had an English chorus but the rest was in Tatar while 2017s winner was completely in Portuguese. Each country has two point giving entities: a national jury and the televoters. The jurors and the televoters in each country both give points to 10 other countries. 1-8, 10 and finally 12 points. The first 40 years only had jury voting though while 1997-2008 only had televoting. 2009-2015 the jury and televotes in each country got meshed together but since 2016 they both give out points separately. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:921919198] in Eurovision...
