Yes. But "I love it" is an overstatement. I care in the way that I'm curious about the outcome.

Like 500m people watch it every year so it's actually pretty gigantic. Most are, naturally, European though, but this year I heard they let Australia enter the contest because it's popular there.

I care about it more than ever, because were finally sending some good people. Got 2nd last time, behind the manwoman.

obviously yeah, but I don't care.

many bad artists and songs. Also quite a few artists aren't even from the country they represent. What sense does that make?
Furthermore the voting sucks. Usually you already get a few points from your country neighbors by default or you don't, depending on the relation between the countries.


Australia and other non-Europe countries taking part in that competition is nothing in comparison.

It's a music celebration / contest. So i watch it since there are awesome songs (mostly:P). Im not gonna judge the voting country love/hate

It's kinda super-big in Sweden so it's hard to miss. In fact I'm going to watch round 2 of our national contest tonight. Not really enjoying the music (it's quite terrible) but it's that insane level of suckiness that fascinates me enough to make me want to watch it.

To get a better picture of how big Eurovision is here in Spain, I've found the number of viewers and share since 1992:

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espa%C3%B1a_en_el_Festival_de_la_Canci%C3%B3n_de_Eurovisi%C3%B3n#Audiencias

Min in 1992 with 3.005.000 viewers and 25.4% of share.

Max in 2002 with 12.755.000 viewers and 80.4% of share.

Last year 5.141.000 viewers and 35.2% of share.

I can't believe so many people watch it.

About a third of the people in Sweden watch it so its quite a big thing here :). Also, we have had some of the biggest winners ever, for example ABBA with "Waterloo".

I'm from Greece,so I loveeeeeeeee it! ;;;;;;;;;;;) I'm a great fan of eurovision,I'm not joking!Believe it or not I feel proud when I'm seeing the greek representator perfoming on the stage!The contest has great songs and perfomances at most!
Televoting results announcing is my favorite part,what a suspense!I'm seeing if our neighbours and close/connected countries to us are voting us and how much!:P
Eurovision song contest hits 70-80% ratings,it's very popular among all ages!
Our song selection contest is on 4th of March and we open the second semifinal on 21th of may!

It's official!A new great ally for Greece!:P

I have, and I'm very sorry I know of it. It's the worst thing in the world and the Swedes are nuts about it.
