Controversy

The Eurovision Song Contest is intended to be apolitical, but Europe's relations are often exposed on the Eurovision stage. Allied countries tend to vote for each other, rival countries give the cold shoulder, and some subliminal messages always seem to slip in to someone's lyrics.

With the controversy surrounding Israel's participation this year, it's the perfect time to revisit Eurovision's most memorable (and most controversial) moments over the years. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the juiciest drama Eurovision has served decade after decade.
