2024 LC Thread: Name That Tune

I think us Americans can see Eurovision on Peacock

ABBA won with Waterloo. But in general its a novelty show and very lgbt oriented

Oh interesting. This makes it sound better. I thought it was some self-serious thing like American Idol.

I think Maneskin also has been reasonably successful.

They seem to for me.

Watch the links i put and let me know how they’d do on american idol

I watch several Eurovision clips yesterday but had to VPN to do it.

One disco band discovered 50 years ago. Impressive.

Croatia by far my favorite of those 3.

Also true of American Idol right? The most famous people are from 20 years ago in the first few seasons?

Who watches American Idol?

Thank God Eurovision and Soccer are banned from broadcast in the USA.

Not sure if you know but Peacock streams Eurovision live in the states now

The winner from 2 years ago, Maneskin is having some pretty largescale mainstream success

And for some reason Arcade by Duncan Laurence got some radio play here a few years ago.

That song is horrendous.

The Eurovision winners I have heard of are Abba, Celine Dion, Katrina and the Waves (who won after becoming famous), Ruslana, and Maneskin.

Eurovision isnt about good songs or music. Its about ridiculous shows and yelling at countries who did not vote for your country

There’s almost no way you could have avoided hearing Maneskin’s version of Beggin’:

Ya didn’t know they were from the show either. The lead singer is so good. I don’t really listen to them but they obviously rock.
