Eurovision Song Contest
The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among active member countries of the EBU. The contest, which has been broadcast every year since its début in 1956, is one of the longest-running television programs and most watched in the world. It is the world's largest music festival, with viewing rates of 100-600 million recorded. In 2004, Rouvas won third place with the song "Shake It", which was tied for the highest placement Greece had ever received in the contest since the 1974 début, up until that year. In 2006, Rouvas would go on to host the contest in Athens along with hostess Maria Menounos. Rouvas will also be Greece's representative in the 2009 contest with the song "This Is Our Night" in May in Moscow, Russia.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or contest:
“To you, God the Singer, our voices we raise,
to you Song Incarnate, we give all our praise,
to you, Holy Spirit, our life and our breath,
be glory for ever, through life and through death.”
—Peter Davison (20th century)
“Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
