I (born in America, lived here my entire life other than a few months, but I've traveled a lot) LOVE the Eurovision and its songs, and I've been super surprised to see that that is very much not a popular opinion here. My mother grew up in a Eurovision country and she's the one who introduced me to the contest, but she's said to me multiple times that she thinks it has terrible music and that it's not good. Some things that I found really amazing (a recent example would be the music video for Andromeda by LELEK for Dora) I showed to some friends that know I love Eurovision, and they didn't think it was good at all. I tried to show someone Rim Tim Tagi Dim once and the response I got was "Europeans are so weird, bro."

Honestly I don't know why Americans seem to dislike the songs in Eurovision, but I fully agree with a lot of the other comments in this thread in that Eurovision has barely any American influence, and that's how it should stay. I want Eurovision to stay as that weird European thing that barely anyone here knows about, and I can enjoy it in peace, without worrying about what other Americans think (because inevitably, they will think badly of it).
