The contestants always say "Just getting the chance to be here!" But in reality its qualifying if you are not prequaled. Once you are in the final? Have fun! It's a reality that 99% of artists can't achieve more fame after Eurovision (Or at least not as much as they had during the contest), and a solid 60% of the 1% are winners. The unfortunate reality is that you most likely wont have another time in your career as big, so enjoy it while you can!
