  Eurovision Song Contest : Eurovision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
By the 1960s, entries were limited to one song per country (participation in the contest had almost doubled), and the songs had to be sung in one of the national languages of the country.
Many viewers of the contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the English-language broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision song contest drinking games and the like has evolved in some countries.
The 2003 Eurovision Song Contest was held in Riga, Latvia on Saturday 24 May, 2003, hosted by Marie N, the singer who won the ESC 2002, and Renars Kaupers[?], a singer whose group competed in the ESC 2000.

Portugal, for example, have been in the contest since 1964 but are still awaiting that first victory (and in fact they haven’t even troubled the top ten since 1996), and their recent entries have suggested they may even have given up trying to win.

Unfortunately, the song 'Du bist', performed by the boyband Tie Break, was written off almost from the start, its 9 points (from France and Greece) being 9 more than most people had expected.
Soult.com Eurovision voters seem unimpressed, rating it 34th out of 39 in the Poll 2005, but I feel that this is a song that might do better among the public at large than among the fans.
In 2004, the first seven songs performed in the Semi Final all failed to qualify, so the Austrians could be forgiven for feeling a sense of some trepidation, having the unenviable task of kicking off the Semi Final in 2005.
