Eurovision lives on — kind of

The World

Due to the pandemic, the annual, international Eurovision Song Contest will look a little different this year. Instead of an in-person finale, a virtual show called “Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light” will air. There will be no voting — and no winner. Which takes a bit of the fun away, sure. But the contest still promises its familiar kitschy delights. The World’s Marco Werman previews the upcoming stars who are set to take the virtual stage.
