	Eurovision Song Contest 2003 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eurovision Song Contest 2003 was the 48th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 24, 2003 in Riga, Latvia.
		The presenters were Marie N (Marija Naumova, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, Estonia) and Renārs Kaupers (anglicised by himself to Reynard Cowpers), whose band actually came in at third place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 held in Stockholm, Sweden.

		Bizarrely, the UK's song was chosen after the date of the international final but the EBU adopted the idea of contacting the international juries by telephone and this was introduced in 1957 and used until 1993.
		Some viewers of the Contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the UK broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision Song Contest drinking games has evolved in some countries.
		As mentioned previously, the Eurovision Song Contest was the central focus of an episode of Father Ted.

	On the Eurovision 2003 Song Contest
		The early favorite to win the contest was a pair Russian, teenage girls called t.A.T.u., famous here in Europe not just for their music but also for an intense lesbian kiss, though the pair says they are not lesbians just free.
		They were in fact prohibited from any of their usual sexually and romantically charged antics but expectations were high given their success and open and none too pleasant criticisms of the Eurovision contest.
		The contest was also held in Riga, Latvia this year and every time t.A.T.u got points there was a "Boo" from the crowd; there is certainly no love loss between the Latvians and the Russians.

		The idea of televising a song contest with children first began in 2000 as a spin-off from a children's show on DR TV, but already the next year it was launched on Danish TV as an independent show called "mgp 2001" - and became an instant success!
		This was not just a European "box" placed on top of the Danish show; all 16 entrants to the JESC 2003 had organized their own national contests thereby establishing a new TV tradition which hopefully will continue and develop in the future.
		An international children's song contest is about showing that children are competent, possessed of sufficient energy, willpower and skills to lift a show on this scale.
