EBU – The Event Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, Sietse Bakker, told an Armenian news website, that the European Broadcasting Union will release the official list of participating countries for 2012 next week. Usually the list is released earlier. Possible explanations for the delay may be the unsure participation of Armenia, who is in a “cold war” with this year’s host Azerbaijan. It may also have to do with efforts of the EBU to convince Polish national broadcaster TVP to stay in the contest after all.
Well next week all our questions will be answered.
Armenia, I LOVE YOU. But please..WITHDRAW
,an one year break doesn’t hurts
Poland, STAY
Morocco: RETURN
I don’t wanna sound naive or romantic, but I really anticipate for the year that every single member of the EBU will take part in the ESC. Good luck to Azerbaijan on hosting this year’s event. have a great weekend everyone
And a third semi-final on Sunday ^^ … I think that would be like a Golden Age, cause that would mean peace between Israel and the Arabic countries and enough financial resources everywhere!
well, i guess it seems too good to be true, I know
There should not be any chances of a third semi-final, because EBU has a limit for participating countries, which is on 45 at the moment, but due to Italy’s return last year, then the limit might be on 46 countries, in 1 competition the same year, so there would be 26 countries in the final, and 20 countries in each semi-final.
The EBU has changed that limit in the past and they would do it again I think..
The last time all the already-participating countries participated was in 1966. The other times it has happened were in 1956-1957, 1960-1963, and 1965.
I hope so too.
Doesn’t this sound like TOP 5 or more for Hungary??
I would be quite surprised if this would be enough to reach the top 5. Anyway, good song and I love the Lion King feeling what gives… LoL
Do you know if she is a good live singer?
Well, she is the winner of the Hungarian Idol 5. This is one of her best perfomance:
Wow, good dress!
I like how she sings…
@ Jazmin
There is a number for Serbia to vote, I could actually vote in that competition! lol
Wow i didn’t know in Hungarian idol ppl from Romania, Czech republic, Serbia, Croatia, Ukraine and Austria can vote! :O I suppose because of Hungarians who live there, but why not Slovakia, in Slovakia 600 000 Hungarians live..
And tonight three semis:
Bulgaria
Iceland
latvia
I MUST see Anmary – “Beautiful song” performing at number 4 in Latvia, and then I will see what next to watch..to continue Latvia or move to Bulgaria!
Yeah, the first big night of the season! I will watch Bulgaria and Iceland. The Icelandic shows are always so cosy and I love the language very much too!
Iceland is later, I think I can watch Iceland after…but I have to see Anmary – “Beautiful song’”, I’m listening to that song for weeks and i don’t know how Anmary looks like, it’s quite strange feeling! LOL
Tomorrow is the big day… Can’t wait for Bulgarian NF , i think i will enjoy it more than the other 2
I’ll try to catch performances of Sofi and Desislava and some others! YAY!
Will there be a webcast for Latvia? I would also like to see Anmary.
And of course later… Iceland!
It will be, we watched the first semi here, when the cake won! xD
Great then, I hope the webcast works well, unlike the german one yesterday
But by next weekend I will have moved to another town and I will have faster internet
I will mostly watch latvia so that I can see all songs performed, and won’t “have to” watch the final later on ; iceland is a “must” watch, with that amazing group of songs, can’t wait to hear Regina Osk’s one either!
I just looked it up : Bulgaria starts at 7:30 ; Latvia at 8:20 ; Iceland at 9:30 CET so I can watch most live shows (I have two computers, so I can start on Bulgaria, then Bulgaria-Latvia, then Latvia-Iceland) : yay!
so Armenia..hurry up! It’s actually my favourite Caucasus country in the contest.
And I hope Luxembourg, Morocco and Monaco take Italy as an example and participate again.
Especially Morocco would be interesting and I think the Moroccan points would be very neutral
we don’t want to see you in Baku armenia, Poland please stay
