Non-qualifiers reactions

I fear next year we'll be lucky if we are close to 35 countries...

I think only and will leave. And we may get and back, so let's be more optimistic!

Austria, Slovenia, Montenegro and Croatia (maybe Israel too) could join them. I hope not!

@ The Greek Votes

I always find it very, interesting and amusing that the Greek entries every year generally send Euro-trashy (in a good way) songs to the ESC, yet when it comes to voting, they sometimes vote for the the more refined taste - such as Serbia and Albania last year (Albania I can rationalise in other ways...), and Amaury was given the 12 points back in 2011, and Italy the 10. I love it!

not sure about the others, but I think will stay. Western countries such as or have made it through and that may encourage them.

Eurovision are very political and unfair, participation is too expensive to some countries, 3 minutes duration of song and other things need to be changed. Ola Sand, do something !

Actually, I don't agree... if the only chance of having some success in this contest now is by importing some cheesy or dated safe pop/ballad from Sweden and sing in English, then countries should withdraw as a counter-reaction until something in the rules are being changed, because there's no point any longer if you get punished by sending entries that actually represent your countries (according to the actual concept of ESC), but being praised if you just buy your entry from abroad and compromise to something that is not genuine.

Enough is enough A-lister, you are just angry because some countries that did not sing in English did not qualify. Its a competition and its not just english songs that wins/gets a lot of points.

I'm kind of fed up with this too. This year we have nine (NINE) different languages in the final. So yes, it's not like having all countries singing in their different languages, but hello, just remember a couple of years ago, with only three or four different languages (and thanks to proud Iberians who have always stuck to Spanish and Portuguese, even if composed by Swedes or Croats)...
