Josh ‘The Hammer’ man writes: The band Teapacks was selected to represent Israel at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland in May. For those who aren’t in the know, Eurovision is the most prestigious song competition in Europe, and several hundred million people watch it every year. Israel’s Eurovision debut was in 1973, and since then, has won the contest three times (in 1978, 1979, and 1998) and hosted it twice (in 1979 and 1999). Even though Israel is not geographically part of Europe, it is still eligible to participate because its national broadcasting service, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.

Yeah, but come on Josh, Eurovision gots nothin’ on American Idol…

Eurovision… Prestigious? Moderately entertaining, yes, maybe even compelling, but prestigious?
