Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Eurovision: What is it and what time is it
on?
The Eurovision Song Contest, or simply
Eurovision is an international singing contest organized by the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU). As the name suggests, the participants are mainly from
European their neighboring countries like Russia, Israel, and somehow
Australia. The contest has been held annually since 1956 and given chances to
great singers, such as Abba, Eline Dion, and Olivia Newton-John. Every year,
the previous winner’s country hosts the event and this year, singers and groups
from 41 countries took part in the contest and 25 finalists competed at the
grand final on May 18 in Tel Aviv, Israel, which was estimated to be viewed by
nearly 200 million people mainly in the participating countries.
When it comes to music or art, it is the
individuals that move people and bring success, not the scale of the country,
economy, or military. Will we see more of this kind of international or regional
events in the future that could give people the chance to compete in a fair and
friendly way?

is about.
