When Conchita won in 2014, Eurovision made the news here across the pond. I found it on YouTube a few days later and remember watching Mariya Yaremchuk and her now infamous hamster wheel and wondering what was I watching?! I've since converted a group of friends into Eurovision fans and we've watched every Contest (and many NFs) ever since.
Watching Eurovision 2022 unfold in Turin was an experience I'll never forget, and I look forward to many more!
