Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

Well, we'll see how it goes. I'm just not very supportive of countries who are sore losers. (and i'm referring to the ones in charge, not the people of course).
I'd love for Italy to return but only if they reall want to be part of the contest.

Well, they actually withdrew before (1992, 1993...?? not sure). 1997 was just a quick return, cause Jalisse really wanted to go to Eurovision.

I guess they paid a large sum of money. :lol: The Italian broadcaster is total crap if they think they can win every year (I'm sure they totally feel like that :lol: ). When they get a new mentality, they'll be more than welcome.

I don't think they want to win every year. They just put much effort on this + they have one of the best music scenes in Europe (if not the best) + they were usually so underrated.
And yeah, Italians are too proud of themselves and clearly are not the best losers...

Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

I think Italy just has a case of sour grapes...they're so proud of their entries that they should win just out of pride. :roll:

The thing about Italy is if they did come back all it would take is one DNQ and they'd be gone for another 10 years.....

But I thought they'd become part of the big countries and make the number rise from 4 to 5.

Maybe they would, but my statement before still stands. It's something that I could see happening if they did have to qualify.

Make sure to time the return of Morocco at the same time... otherwise Morocco won't get any points. :D

Re: ITALIA - Italy 2011

too good to be true, imo. He could also mean Eurovoice, he could mean any European contest. Still, it's always like that... EBU negotiates with them until the deadline and in the end it's all same.
eh, still not gonna lose hope :p
