The most eastern host of the Eurovision Song Contest, the oil rich country of Azerbaijan was ready to show the world who they were.

I loved this. I mean LOVED. I knew this had to win. Everything about this is a yes from me. "Euphoria" was a game changer.

"Suus" may be one of the most personal and emotional performances to grace the Eurovision stage.

70 years before the 2012 contest, USSR dictator Stalin destroyed many churches throughout Russia.

The weird and hilarious this year were a complete toss up. They both qualify as funny but I decided eventually that "Shake Your Booty" was the weirder of the two.

Another perfect guilty pleasure track from Eurovision. I listened to this song way too much, on repeat, and loud.

Before I can even get to this mess of a song, I feel like I need to explain San Marino.

I'm sucker for late 80s/early 90s new-wave music, so this was awesome to get a little of that Depeche Mode sound on the Eurovision stage.
