The Red Carpet
All the artists were granted a grand entry, arriving by buss and then walking a red carpet were they were welcomed by the hosts of the contests and a crowd of fans and press. An hour after the start still less than ten of the deleagtions were weldomed, later on it speeded up, but we decided to go in because we were getting a bit hungry....Twelve Points about 12points.tv

We're still building up, but eventually we would like to be your Eurovision reference.

Well what can we say about the contest?
Quite a lot actually, where do we start? And where should we end... We could say the contest started back in 1956. That ABBA started their career in the contest back in 1974 by winning it with Waterloo. That even Céline Dion once won the contest, although she isn't even European. That it was our favorite show already when we were kids and were allowed to stay up late that one evening in the year. That at some point countries still had to sing in their own language. That until the late nineties an orchestra was still part of the setup for the evening, etc... etc...
But there are quite a lot of prejudices about the contest too. Things we have to explain over and over again. Not that we really care because we remain passionate about the contest anyway, but still, as of now we can refer to this page. Let's look at a hard to beat Eurovision prejudices, or well, some of them might even be true too... Not yet sure if we will admit though.
