| Eurovision Song Contest News - Germany 2011 

Martin F

I'm a long time ESC fan and like all kinds of music. IMO it's only the music that matters and the best song should win. For me it's not a competition between countries but a competition between songwriters & singers. Through the ESC I learnt a lot about music from other countries and that's my reason to follow the ESC every year to find out something about new trends in Pop Music in different parts of Europe and the world. I wish everybody a great time by following all the events during the ESC season. Let the music unite us and make us forget all the differences!
