Opening number

Feel the rhythm, y'all, it's Eurovision time! The crowd goes wild as the opening number kicks in. As the 2004 Summer Olympics proved, no one does opening numbers like the Greeks. The song is awful, with lyrics like "Praise the man who raised his voice" and "Praise the resonating winds", but it's still better than the song from the Netherlands.

Tonight's hosts are floating to the stage from across the arena on wires right now. The female host, Maria Menounos, is an American who speaks fluent Greek, while the male host, Sakis Rouvasis, is an actual Greek. He once came in third at Eurovision.
