YouTube: Måns Zelmerlöw and Comedian Petra Mede have the recipe for the perfect Eurovision Performance: Love, peace, memorable costumes and some strange old folkloristic instrument.

They seem to be making fun of the music and competition which seems a bit weird. Does the music (bands,singers) stand up on their own musically, or is it all gimmicky as its a tv show(i assume) and all about the most exciting visually? Have any great acts come from the competition?

Well, I think that depends on how highly you rate ABBA! I think it's really about the entertainment rather than looking for the next great talent.

You can check out the list of previous winners at Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eurovision_Song_Contest_winners

Of course some of them were already well known before entering the competition.
