Don't know about the singing , but

You can join me in singing out of tune Eugene ...like most of the country

Just to warn you: I'm still trying to get food ready, etc. , so might not be posting much for the first 15-20 mins...

BTW: the Eurovision area is (IIRC) based on longitude and latitude, so isn't just reserved for "Europe": Israel's competing this year, and Morocco has in the past too...

IIRC, Australia were originally invited as a "one-off" for an anniversary year, but they then asked to stay.
I believe Eurovision's big in Australia: lots of ABBA fans over there...
@slimfern posted:Switzerland...nice voice
Not sure about the dancers...

So they should change the name of the contest.....
Maybe 'Best of Whomever Wants to Join in'
