It turns out pretty much everyone, at least according to Eurovision. Yes, readers, I watch Eurovision. My wife worked for the ESC (Eurovision Song Contest) in 2014 and 2015, and she’s hooked, which means I’m hooked. It’s like if the Superbowl didn’t bother with ads or football and just had a three-hour-long halftime show.

Note how Switzerland received the fewest popular votes but was given first place by the judges, while Israel received the second-highest number of popular votes but was ranked very low by the judges. Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a legitimately good song, and so is Teresa and Maria.
