Anyway, along the way we'll see Thomas Edison rock out for America, Poland's entry also try and achieve world peace as well as a win, a bunch of Renaissance men sing an Italian power ballad, German Nun Hildegard von Bingen seeking to inspire everyone, Greece's entry aim for the stars, Elizabeth I somehow representing both England and Spain, and three Egyptian Pharaohs sing a song from beyond the grave!
