Are top fifty billboard musicians allowed to compete or do you have to be a amateur?

it's mostly newcomers, well known singers don't take the risk to loose their reputation. sometimes there are singers who don't even get ten points. You never hear from them again.

I mean, there are certain artists whose mere presence could already make them win the Songfestival, it wouldn't even matter if the song sucked or not.

[/QUOTE]it's all about status, nobody wants to lose their rep. On the other hand, abba became famous after winning the contest, so sometimes it works out well.

Good heavens, a well-traveled geography nut American! Who has a passport and *uses* it! And who knows what and where places like Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius are! I hope I didn't give you too big a scare.

Anyway, I have heard nice things about it, can you tell me what Tallinn is like?

Denmark came LAST [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
