Madonna is performing this year. She got 1,3 million dollars for the gig. Justin Timberlake performed a few years back too.

We all know Pearl Jam is like tops two tours away from playing a full ABBA cover:

So do you think they would accept 1,3 million dollars to perform the at ESC?

    Eurovision is great and currently on in my lounge. A yearly treat of all things camp, naff and occasionally brilliant . I can't think of anything more weird and wrong than Pearl Jam turning up to play it wherever it is.

    Edit: Norway for the win this year btw

    Admittedly, I don't know what this even is...I googled it and still don't know. Too lazy to read about it, I guess.
    (I will fully admit, by the way, that this is probably one of my most useless posts ever in this community).

    I hope people don't think I was taking a shot at SC. I was making fun of myself as my post really didn't add anything to the conversation.

    I'm in Europe (Italy) and I don't even know what this is. But maybe it's just me not watching any TV lately and just getting drunk listening to Stoned Jesus and waiting for EV in Florence.

    Have PJ ever played Israel? If they haven't yet, I can see them not doing so... for political reasons.

    Well now that Netherlands won and it will be held in Amsterdam next year who knows lol - i joke!  Good job Madonna was paid that much as her performance put final nail in her career coffin. It was beyond awful. Eurovision is basically a 4 hour tv show full of cheesy euro pop and a reality check for the UK on how many countries really dislike us now when it comes to the voting.  Its such a crazy event that you cant help but watch it.
