^If you're telling me they chose Icebreaker over Afterglow that's nuts. Well I mean it's not terrible but it's pretty forgettable.

Haven't and won't listen to the UK entry. Housemates had the UK song choice thing on the TV while I was making food the other day and my ears have been assaulted enough. Ugh UK.

While I'm not really an Eurovision fan, it's always amusing how both my mother and older sister both watch it and then talk about it until it's over for another year.

This year, my country's gonna be in it. For the choices of singers, I have to admit, I want Delta Goodrum to be chosen.

^ Australia also participated last year.

They said it was going to be a one year only kind of thing, but we all knew it'd happen again. :monster:

I know. Though last year it wasn't a real entry...or was it, I can't remember. Guy Sabastion(sorry for the spelling mistake) preformed and that's what made people crazy over.

So, is Australia really part of the EBU then? Or is this the UK lobbying because clearly the reason they didn't win the last ten years is all the Eastern countries voting for each other? :monster:

(Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany are all Eastern countries see)

I don't think the UK has anything to do with Aus entering the fray tbh, but I don't really understand it myself if I'm totally honest.

Australia are mega-super fans of the whole thing, so they were allowed to perform because I think it was the 60th year last year? I'm not surprised they've been allowed to enter again, as there was a real buzz around it the first time.

I've become addicted to their videos over the last few months, imagine my delight when I found this! <3

The UK can still apparently enter, even if we leave the EU.

I'd imagine us leaving would leave quite the impact, considering we contribute financially towards the contest every year.

I've also got the week off work when it's on (also for Uncharted 4, yay!), so I'm going to be getting spectacularly drunk during the semis and finals. Are we doing a Skype call again? :awesome:

Us leaving would have little to no impact IMO, and being in or out the EU has never had an effect on a country's ability to enter the competition. There are four other countries in the "big 5" that are a part of fronting the money for it, and I'd say if one of those 5 left there'd be someone there to replace them or they'd just have a "big 4".
