Summary/Abstract: This paper makes an attempt to prove that analyzing the results of the Eurovision Song Contest can be useful for sociologists. For this purpose, the author uses the division of tastes into legitimate, middle-brow and popular and examines whether this division is reflected among those voting in the Eurovision Song Contest. The author also presents the history of the Eurovision Song Contest and distinguishes Jurors Eurovision, Public Eurovision, Transitional Eurovision and Mixed Eurovision. Each of them confirms the correctness of the above-mentioned division of tastes.
