Ukrainian pop duo to defend country's title at Eurovision, world's biggest song contest

Be it ABBA for the Baby Boomers, Gina G for Gen X or the 2023 Grammy-nominated Måneskin, the Eurovision Song Contest has been a touchstone through televised time. With an audience bigger than the Super Bowl, it is the world's largest song competition — that most Americans have still never heard of. 

"I used to say it's like American Idol meets the Olympics, but better. Now I feel like I'd have to say it is the Olympics of song for Europe," said Alesia Michelle, a Eurovision YouTuber in Washington, D.C.

"I mean, the scale is just so grand. The fact that you might not be watching it is crazy," she said.
