Does Eurovision aid or hinder a person's career?

Celine Dion managed to do quite well after representing Switzerland in 1988 :-)

I agree, only Eurovision.  Lordi are very tame by the standards of European rock and metal music; they're very tame even within the context of their own country.  There are much more odd and genre-defying bands in Finland!\n\nthe only change you could really see was the fact that they overruled some of the local political posturing that sometimes (inevitably?) takes place with reciprocal voting between neighbouring countries.  They just flat out won :)

There's no question that it's more about popularity than it is about actual singing ability, that is, after the point where America first gets to choose who goes on and who doesn't.\n\nThe beginning of the competition is more about singing ability, as the judges get to decide who goes on, but you couldn't say with a straight face that none of them are bias towards any of the contestants.\n\nI saw a couple of great singers the first few episodes that didn't make it through, and I was really disappointed, but now that singers who are more talented than others are getting voted off... it's kind of pathetic.\n\nYou have a good idea there, it might prevent the best of the performers from getting the boot!

they are different individuals and different crafts. it is not the singer's fault that the songwriter can't sing his own songs nicely!

Yes, believe it or not I heard that it could help... I am actually about to start taking vocal lessons too even though I can't sing worth anything... my mother used to be friends with a vocal instructer and she explained taht everyone could have beautifull good voices; it was just how it came out when you sang. For instance, I think that she said something about people who had bad voices usually weren't breathing the right way when they sang, or just weren't letting it some out loud enough... also Pink (the singers) mother used to be a horrible singer. But in a recent interview, Pink said that her mother had been taking vocal lessons and  she said that she was so good she sang at her wedding...\n\nhope this helps... if theres anything else click on my picture and  it has how you can contact me on there....\n\ndont listen to anyone until youve actually tried your hardest at these lessons ok? if you love doing it it'lll be worth it

Of course!!! If I liked the music then it wouldn't matter - good music is entertainment enough...singers don't need to be humping the stage or doing backflip to keep me happy (if they need all that packed into their performance they're probably making up for something!).

Sure, let it flow.\n\n   All you need do is the best you can. Judges may not choose you as best, but I doubt you'll endure any humiliation such as on AM IDOL. \n\n   If your passion is to sing, then please don't let minor rejections stop you from enjoying and/or sharing that passion. You know what you can do, let others know as well.\n\nRev. Steven

I agree with what everyone eles said it depends on how good you are and how famous you may become.  Seeing as your well experienced with the instuments, all you have to do now is get someone to hear you play. someone that can help you out

I think his song is pretty good and deserved to win Eurovision. And no, he's not gay! May be he dancing can be classified as gay! But he's a hottie anyways!

Paris Hilton should never set foot in a music studio for the rest of her life. It just proves how if you have money, and the "looks" you can be a singer. Tell that to the people trying hard to get into the business that has to start from the beginning and may never make it anywhere. Those are the people with real talent.

No, I don't think so. It isn't really necessary. For example, look at Ronaldhino, he isn't extremely fast, but he is still the best player in the world because of his skill. Speed doesn't mean much if you don't have the skill.

If a female has the equivilent skill and apptitude of a male sportsman in thier chosen sport then I dont see a problem with it.As far as I'm concerned as long as the person as such is dedicated then why not.

there's such a thing as not good enough for the eurovison song contest ??? LOL i can't believe that\n\nmaybe they just realised what a joke this whole thing is?

THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO KEEP THEM FIT.\nI DONT THINK QUITE MANY MATCHES WILL AFFECT PLAYERS..\nMOST OF THE TIME..THE INJURY OCCURS UN-EXPECTEDLY.\nBUT ONETHING..\nPLAYERS SHOULD NOT TRY TO OPERATE OR DISPLAY THEIR SKILLS BEYOND THEIR ABILITY TO IMPRESS ANYBODY.

I would like to be a singer. I think the recording studio is fun but, I'm not good at it. I feel like I wouldn't be a completely hopeless case if I had the right training and voice exercises...oh yeah...and somebody pushing me to actually do them would help too!

Yes, it can be very frustrating! I've entered each and every contest there is to ensure that I can have a flight ticket to Germany for the World Cup this year. Still have yet to win! :(

Not my career. But it can affect others, if they are not documented.\n\ncc
