Who should host the first International Song Contest

[MatthewFirth]

I have a new timeline coming out based on Eurovision.

It's an International adapation of the event, with popular songs instead of new ones.

Question is, who would have hosted the first one in 1959.

Contenders would have been:

New York - The contest would have had to be agreed with the Americans, so they would want it first

London - England was the country the EBU, founders of the Eurovision, was formed

Lagano - Hosts of the orginal event?

Who do you want?

I vote Paris.

 

[jkarr]

votec london due to, being in 1959, it was still a quasi-empire over multiple nations, as the commonwealth still is today (but with some nations having lefted)

 

[MatthewFirth]

London has a clear lead, but do keep voting!

 

[The Red]

Geneva, but London seeing as we don't get an 'other' option.

Don't worry, if people want others, state them, and I'll bear those in mind too.
