| Eurovision Song Contest News - 2008 Belgrade, Serbia 

Leonardo Vaz Couto Pereira

Hi! My name is Leonardo, I'm a Brazilian fan of ESC.

Yes! In Brazil we are able to be updated about the ESC through many ways, just like europeans. But I should say that here Eurovision is a completely unknown word for most :/

I started watching it very recently: in 2005, I captured the satellite signal of RTP International on my TV set, just about the ESC season. They aired some ads, calling Portuguese fans of ESC around Europe to vote for their entry in countries outside Portugal (of course), so I've listened to "Amar" and raised some interest.Then I watched the shows, and fell in love with ESC...
