When do you started watching Eurovision ?

[Verjamem]

So, in which moment of your life (how many years ago, in which year ?), do you started to doing this great activity ?
Me in 2011 (I know, very late )

 

[DanielLuis]

I think I watch it since I was born, I have really old memories of watching the contest with my family when I was 5 or 6

 

[Nicholas123]

I was watching ESC since i was a child, i have lots of beautiful memories. But as an ESC fanatic, it was back in 2001, the year that put Greece in the Eurovision map...

 

[DanielLuis]

As a fanatic, it started in 2008, with our lovely Vânia Fernandes

Yes, Portugal 2008 was exceptional! A true diamond!

Indeed! It really was what made me become a true ESC fan

 

[A-lister]

My fist ESC that I followed live on TV was probably 1997, when I was still just a little kid. My first Melodifestivalen was probably a year or two prior.

However, I've since listened to ALL ESC entries since 1956-

... and of course like most people I knew about the big classics even from a quite early age

 

[Shqiperia]

2003, but I started to watch it full on as a fan in 2004 and the same year Albania debuted.

[GermanBango]

My first Contest was the one in Athens back in 2006, I remember my parents being shocked about Lordis victory
My first Contest as a real Fan was the wonderfull ESC in Helsinki 2007 ! Great memories!

 

[GRE]

1991.

 

[QwaarJet]

I think 1996 was my first, but the first one I fully remember was 1997. Watching Katrina And The Waves win live was still the greatest moment I've ever seen at ESC.

 

[Celia]

I started watching it in the early 2000's but became a fan from 2005 on.

 

[Centrix]

One or two years before first Romanian participation, but I am a big fan from 1994 when was first apparence of Romania. I never lost another year from then.

My earlier memory is from 1991 and that's the year my first eurovision tears date from, when Sweden won instead of my favourite Greece -hence my nickname.

Then I watched it until 1995 when I lost interest somehow, (not because of 1995's winner surely) and only watched again in 2003. Loved it, watched again 2004, didn't like it, missed 2005 and been hooked ever since 2006 after Lordi.

2008 was an important landmark, as it was the first and only time I loved my country's song. Also, it was the year I discovered the whole madness was on the internet. Brand new world

 

[ESC]

My first contest was back in 2004, when Ruslana won. As a fan first in 2009, don't know why it took so long

 

[CPV4931]

My first ESC was the one in 2006. I really liked Germany´s entry "No No Never" and so decided to watch the contest.
Until 2009 I only watched the final and didn´t pay much attention to the songs before the contest, but since 2010 I also watch the Semis and national selections of other countries and listen to the songs before the contest.

 

[Nikkita]

My first contest was 2003(i was 6) but i started to watch it as a fan at 2007.

 

[Narmina]

My first ESC was in 2001, but I'm watching it on regular base since 2006
