Somehow I won't be surprised. tbh I expect a Greek or Cypriot withdrawal more than the Portuguese one.

I honestly can't fathom the day Greece would not be in ESC. Part of me thinks it'll be positively strange without Greece walking into the Final, but another part will miss Greece as well.

We just want to participate.Not to be in Final necessary.Last decade Greece was many times in top10 of Final,so its time for other countries to be also in the Final,
like Netherlands,Slovakia,Bulgaria,Croatia etc.

I'd miss Greece, as much as I'll miss Portugal - the 'old' countries are fixtures, without them for me the contest isn't the same! Even with Italy missing, it felt like a huge part of the contest was absent! Of course, a final without Greece will be strange indeed - for me, Greece were always among my personal 10 qualifiers in whichever semifinal they participated! *fingers crossed*

Why is it when Scandanavian countries host the contest, the number of participating countries drop significantly (Norway had 39 countries).




I'm being silly of course and it's just a co-incidence but let's hope we won't lose any more countries.

it's too cold up there

 

[A-lister]

it's too cold up there

Really... in May?

Well Oslo may be a bit colder, but Malmö is not that far from continental Europe...

Well I got the joke nevertheless

It's interesting question though... probably the coincidence
