First - I really enjoyed the film, especially Sigrit's chatacter ❤ Second - Yes, we needed Eleni! 😍 Third - Another possibility for the UK hosting is that the previous year's winner wouldn't or couldn't host the contest. Scotland hosted the contest in 1972 because 1971's winner, Monaco, couldn't or wouldn't host. The UK also hosted in 1974 because 1973's winner, Luxembourg, didn't want to host the competition two years in a row, etc. Just a possible explanation 🙂

In my opinion the movie would of been better without will Ferrell in it. I know his character was suppose to bring comedy to the movie but something about the character rubbed me up the wrong way and I didn't enjoy him much plus I feel like he ruined the songs when he was in them I feel like he should of just stuck to directing it . Also I'm sad how they used demi lavato in the flim. I liked she got some screen time but I didn't like the way she was portrayed they could of used her better.

I actually don't like Americans getting involved in any Eurovision-related media. They should only be good viewers. don't ruin the contest by participating. but if they still want to participate, get EBU approving NABA, CBU, and OTI to co-produce the continental, pan-American edition instead. by that, the U.S., plus Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, and so on within all of the Americas, can experience it without ruining the original.
