Since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest is Europe's favourite TV show. After more than five decades featuring some 1,100 songs, the contest has become a modern classic, strongly embedded into Europe's collective mind.

Collective mind?

Not Bucharest but Budapest -> Hungary.
Since I knew what it is about and who will be the winner, I did not watch.
Why "pollute" my soul with this kind of "entertainment"?

Welcome! Any unusual military movement to the east there on behalf of europe's cheap gas vision?
Waking in the rubble
Walking over glass Neighbors say we're trouble
Well that time has passed
Peering from the mirror
No, that isn't me
Stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be
You wouldnt know me at all today
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
Go about your business
Act as if you're free
Noone could have witnessed
What you did to me
Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see
To believe
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
I rise up to the sky
You threw me down but I'm gonna fly
And rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
A lot of highly spiritual people are involved in that show
Some of this enormous sum can be recouped (sponsorship, broadcast fees, ticket sales) but basically it's the cost of showing off to the rest of Europe for a week.
