I think we know what I'm about to say.
Do we think vampyres do their own Eurovision Song Contest? And how popular would it be if they did?
My thoughts are that they do. Being Eurocentric as Western vampyre culture is, It's not necessarily that vampyres aren't permitted from performing in the usual one (they totally can) -- just that they have very different musical tastes to human audiences and (rightly or wrongly) they often don't care to play to what human juries and voters love. They compete by country as well, but only because competing by "region" (in which there can be multiple per country) would turn the semi-finals into its own FA World Cup-length event. This also helps nullify (most of) the political bias.
The impression on vampyres though is mixed. Some love it, some like it just fine but only watch the grand final, and some think, due to the frequent focus of the songs, that it's a tad too sanctimonious and the performers could do with turning it down a skosh.
Imagine if Songs of Praise were an international song contest; I'd give it a miss too.
