I finally bought the album for this year's Eurovision. I listened to it on random today while sorting papers.

Much to my surprise, a song came on which I did not recognize. I'd watched all the videos, I'd seen the semis and the final. I figured maybe I'd forgotten the introduction? But no, the song never did become familiar.

I checked what it was. I'd managed to forget that Ukraine had banned the Russian contestant, and thus she did not compete. And as a result, I had managed to make it through Eurovision without ever hearing her song.
