Leonardo Pereira

Hi! My name is Leonardo, I'm a Brazilian fan of ESC.

Yes! In Brazil we are able to be up-to-date about the ESC through many ways, just like europeans. But I have to say that here Eurovision is a completely unknown word for most :/

I started watching it kinda recently: in 2005, I randomly picked the signal of RTP International on my TV, in the ESC season. They aired some ads, calling Portuguese fans of ESC around Europe to vote for their entry in countries outside Portugal (of course), so I've listened to "Amar" and raised some interest about it and the whole concept of "countries united for music".Then I watched the shows, and fell in love with ESC...
