Re: AUSTRALIA 2014 - Jessica Mauboy - Never Be The Same

why it wasn't "Never Be The Same" as said everywhere before? :confused:

Probably because they weren't aware of the restricted time. Jessica was only allowed 2.5 minutes to perform so I guess they scrapped NBTS. :'(

Jessica was extremely croaky! I think she let her nerves get the worst of her...

I liked the video part. Australia knocking the UK out of the way was especially funny :lol: Also the dancing part was great, but Jessica's part was... I'm sorry, but on the moments she sounded lika a goat.

An idea for Australia - buy little Greek island (Greek sells now some) and make it Australia in Europe, so you can enter EBU and participate in ESC :lol:

I wish EBU could let go of their stupid rule and let Australia join, I mean, is the rule more important than Australia?

What for? Is Australia a special country?

I don't think that the fact that participants must be in Europe (or at least close to it) is a stupid rule at all? Do you remember it's EUROvision, right?

I hate to break it to you but there is a risc that even more countries will withdraw next year, such as Slovenia, Georgia, Israel, Macedonia etc.
What would be better than to have a new nation that loves Eurovision a lot?

Next year will be the 60th edition of Eurovision, I don't think that'll happen. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria are likely to come back. Serbia, Croatia & Cyprus may return too.

And if it happens to have less participants than this year, than so be it, one semi-final will be enough. There are Eurovision fans here and there all over the world, that doesn't mean that Mexico or South Africa are legitimate to take part. Personally, I found it nice when they mentioned in the past that people in Australia were watching the contest, but that's all. Inviting a singer this year was excessive, could it be more random? We're in Denmark after all, it was out of place.

I don't know why it's a fan wish to get Australia taking part, I mean it's on the other side of the planet, there should be a Wordvision then, not Eurovision. Anyway, one country wouldn't make up for the series of withdrawal, if it were to happen.

withdraw next year, such as Slovenia,

I don't think that after a rare Slovenian qualification, :sl: will withdraw.
Maybe :tr: will come back, and why not the microstates return and a :kz: and :li: debut ?

An Australian becoming a true ESC (UK) fan

Well I was born in the UK, so I always been a UK fan xD

The interval act wasn't so bad after all, but it was still pretentious and could have been much better.

Re: AUSTRALIA 2014 - Jessica Mauboy - Never Be The Same

In terms of what?

Well I don't need to go into detail, but you mentioned geography. Azerbaijan is part of Europe on a technicality. I, and many, don't consider it to be a European country.
