America will finally be getting its own (presumably) blander imitation of the Eurovision Song Contest on NBC this summer finally giving states like Ohio and Iowa a chance to potentially achieve relevance outside of an election year but the
real thing already went down across the ocean this weekend (as seen on Peacock, if you have Peacock). Though “Jaja Ding Dong” was unfairly snubbed, the actual winner of this year’s Song Contest was Italian metal band Måneskin and its song “Zitti E Buoni” (“Shut Up And Behave”), which earned 524 points and handily beat second-place finisher Barbara Pravi from France. We say “handily,” but as Americans, the intricacies of Eurovision are largely lost to us.
