I still can’t work out how or why Australia competes in this. Last geography lesson I had, Australia was not in Europe!

I mean, I’m Australian and we came second last year, but seriously, why and how? I reckon Aussies should leave Eurovision to Europe!

What’s the bets the uk gets really low scores again because of its brexit position!

The theme this year is “diversity” but it’s being presented by 3 white men. I think this is the first time a woman hasn’t been one of the presenters. :confused:

Really? :astonished: So much for diversity then! I suppose at least Australia’s entry is an Indigenous man, Isaiah Firebrace.

Yeah, I’ll probably watch it. They changed the voting system now and it makes no sense to me though. It was quite simple before.

What do you mean @everhopeful? What’s the new voting system?!

It’s a bit confusing in practice

I’m pretty sure diversity in Ukraine means that people are welcome regardless of their skin color and gender, as long as all the leaders are white and male. :smile:

I just watched some of the official music videos for the Eurovision songcontest. Some of them are not very good. :grimacing:

so to promote togetherness… they pit the countries against each other in some next top euro sing song contest… dammit America some how this is your fault… I can smell it… like hotdogs and gun powder…

@flameoftherhine It is our fault due to our tacky pop song influence. Most of the Eurovision songs seem to be pop songs sung in English.

My personal favorite was this entry from Montenegro cause of the heavily-accented English, the over-the-top dancing, and the whipping of the braided pony tail around in wild abandonment. :smile:
