The Eurovision Song Contest is an international competition that's been held annually since 1956. Each 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 kickstarted their career on Eurovision.
