I had no idea she was on Eurovision. Why did she represent Switzerland when she is Canadian? I love "My Heart Will Go On". It's a timeless classic. I used to sing it a lot.

@lovebuglena No. In the article I read. I will look for it now. You don't have to be from the country you represent; and Canada was not participating.

@LindaOHio That is a ton of money. I am sure her husband left her a chunk of that. And I am not surprised about the Vegas money.
