This is an excellent time to mention my best friend The Eurovision Song Contest! It's the longest running international music contest show and it gets hundreds of millions of views.

Here's last year's crop of music videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmWYEDTNOGULUJYEhh-EUa32rEcHuNXO7

Croatia's Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a real banger. It's about the stress of moving to a richer country or city for work and losing your culture.

Italy's La Noia is amazing. Angelina Mango's live performances are stellar, and if she's not huge internationally in a few years I'll be super disappointed. Her new song (not part of the contest) Melodrama is exceptional too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqF0MSpPcj8

Switzerland sent Nemo, who became the first non-binary person to win the contest. It was said that if he could nail the vocals from the video in the live performance, there would be no stopping them. And they did! Amazing work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO8cQpGNplc

I have so many recommendations, if anyone wants more!
