I'm not a betting man, but I would put money on your song beating ours.

Unless I (purposefully) get up on the wrong side of the bed tomorrow morning.

And the all of the sudden meet for a few nights at a casino

I managed to avoid ever seeing a single episode of American Idol. I'm positive I'll pass on the international version as well.

American Idol. Is that something to do with the Presidential election?

Would you watch the Eurovision Song Contest if it started at 3am?

Due to time zone differences, this is the decision viewers in China will have to make this year when the grand final is broadcast live on Chinese television for the very first time.

The only good part of American idol is when they're searching for contestants, but when they got rid of Simon Cowell it really sucked... I would only watch the tryouts to get on the show but the actual show sucked .

Russia was good but won't win because politics gets in the way.

 

[Kaat72]

Ha, wondering what would happen if Australia wins?
They'll probably step out right after tonight, since the Asian version is hosted in Australia next year.
