Eurovision 2017

Lene Alexandra

Eurovision is this week and it's got us all gagging! Like literally a cough drop is stuck in my throat right now. The first semi-final to pass in order to take the European crown starts TODAY, May 9th.

For those in the United States, EuroVision is an annual competition, where all European nations send their strongest singer to the rings to represent their national pride. It's given us such moments as “Prima Donna” from Norwegian singer Lena Alexandra. Known primarily for her Nordic hit “My Boobs Are Okay!” And, even bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst hailing from Austria.

There's been tensions this year between host country Ukraine and Russia. But, what is a little reality TV without some international drama. Ukraine roundly rejected Russia's representative citing the singer's travel violations that denied her access to their country. Americans can catch Eurovision on Logo starting may 13th at 3p Eastern / 12p Pacific Standard Time. Hosted by none other then Ross Matthews and Michelle Visage!
