Hinz und Kunz

Hi everybody!
As long as I can think back I always watched the ESc with my family but the first ESC I remember really well was in 2003, when fantastic Sertab brought her home country Turkey the first victory ever and since 2005 I'm really infected with ESC Virus. The reason why I like this event so much is that it's not only a wonderful opportunity to hear great music from all over Europe (where else can I get in touch with music from Finland, Portugal or Croatia?) and it's always a lot of fun to watch over 40 countries coming together and try, more or less successfully, to win this unique event.
