Ok, so why is this an essential factor in THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST - clue in the title....... it's not about the singer or their life history, the backing group, the costume (though God knows they seem to get weirder every year), or any other factor.... it's the song that's the thing that the show is all about....... unless you are trying to sway some sort of sympathy vote (and that happened the other year with Ukraine, showing just what a farce this contest has already become). So, whilst it's a point that could be mentioned in passing, it's hardly an essential part of the musical assessment is it?
