Subject: If you (correctly) think American Idol stinks, check out Eurovision

From Wikipedia
The Eurovision Song Contest (French: Concours Eurovision de la Chanson) is an annual competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Each country participates via one of their national EBU-member television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to represent their country in the international competition.
Here's a sample of an entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74mBEXL9UgM
Of course I should point out, that while it's an official Eurovision entry, it's also a parody Wiki. Still, it did receive over half the vote.
For more Eurovision entries, check out their YouTube channel and prepare to cringe.

I think Eurovision falls under the 'so bad it's good' category personally. I used to love watching it. Although recently I found Terry Wogan's commentary a little too annoying.
