Stars That Got Their Start On Eurovision!
There's a new appreciation for this singing contest!
The new Netflix movie Eurovision: Fire Saga stars Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams and is about the actual Eurovision Song contest that has been held annually since 1965-with the exception of this year.
The song contest sees a participant represents a country while each participating country submits an original song to be performed live on television and radio. Each country then casts a vote for the other countries’ songs in order to determine the winner.
There’s been plenty of famous artists that have appeared on the show, but these five artists kick-started their careers on Eurovision.
Celine Dion represented Switzerland in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest at just 20 years old.
Olivia Newton-John appeared on the show in 1974
Enya represented Ireland in 1973, ABBA performed in 74’
and Julio Iglesias represented Spain in 1970.
