A Bit Of A Stretch...

I still think it's weird that Israel compete in Eurovision, but really, AUSTRALIA!!!
Apparently a one-off, and they can only return if they win.
Guess who's gonna win this year then?

At yone weekend, I had a dream that the United Kingdom came seventh in the Eurovision Song Contest.

I really need to start having less boring dreams.

if the Australians can get lawn mowing into the Olympic opening ceremony, Eurovision might well be worth a watch

They should drop 'Eurovision' from the title and let any country that cares to enter have a go.

sandyRoe - "They should drop 'Eurovision' from the title and let any country that cares to enter have a go."

That would rather defeat the object of the exercise wouldn't it?

Since the contest is organised by Eurovision, they can't really take them out of the title.

Israel, and now Australia, have been accepted. It's hardly European now.

I will laugh if they win.

They would have to hold the event next year.

I doubt if Greece could afford to send their entry down under.

Heard someone on radio 2 today saying that even if the Aussies were to win, the event would have to be held in Europe next year. Didn't hear if any reason was given.
