Turkey TURKEY 2015 - not taking part

[Jim]

Again, I feel very sorry for Turkish fans. They have a terrible broadcaster, their country don't participate in contest for the third consecutive year and they need to bear that ridiculous drama (also known as Türkvizyon).

And almost all the Turkish entries were really good in the last years...

How the heck Turkey became last in final after being 2nd in semifinal? #justturkvisionthings

Turkey's juror gave over half the entries in the semifinal less than 4 points out of 10, all scores were made public after the semifinal because #justturkvisionthings, and some are suspecting that the other jury members sought revenge in the final.

I actually love watching Turkvision for the entries, but the voting...

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Turkey is laughable, acting like a little kid. Finishing 7th in the final and withdraws from the final creating their own format aka Turkvision which is the worst crap I have ever seen in many years. They should not bother coming back because Eurovision is too good for them

TRT still have a butthurt for 2011 SF result, they participated in 2012 "to not offend our brother nation (Azerbaijan)".

B*tch please! They got what they deserved that year, and still they were lucky to get high placings most of the time. How could they withdraw because of "bad results"? Tell this to Latvia, Slovakia and Portugal for instance. Yeah, "childish" is the word to describe the Turkish delegation.

I'm sure the Dutch would have something to say as well.

It's what happens though when a broadcaster gets cocky and expect good results every year. Same thing happened to the BBC and other western broadcasters around 2003-ish, and they are only starting to recover now.

What does Turkey actually want to come back? Or are they just being stubborn?

 

[Sean]

So I noticed TRT will be hosting the non-competitive Asiavision..

 

[lowyby]

I wouldn't be suprised if Turkey will be in after all.. I really hope so.. They may act pathetic but almost all their songs are gems

 

[RainyWoods]

Yeah, can Turkey just get over themselves and enter again please? I really miss them.

 

[pressman]

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that we're getting Funda with Hoppa for Vienna. It'd be epic xD

Epic indeed! I wouldn't rule out a surprise comeback from them in the last minute... all they need to do is send what they sent for Turkvizyon.

 

[DanielLuis]

I just find it stupid that TRT is taking part in the Asian song contest and not in Eurovision. As RainyWoods said, TRT should get over themselves.

 

[BGN]

The silly attitude of TRT towards Eurovision is coming to an end. The new Director General Senol Goka announces clear perspectives for return in 2016

[Sammy]

He says "if everything will be ok, we can return". That can mean anything! for instance: if the juries are abolished, if turkey will be part of the (then) big 6, if we are granted a top 5 position every year, if we rename the contest into turkvision,....

 

[BGN]

This could mean "hopefully" as well and most probably he uses this expression with the meaning of "hopefully". And I think so, because this is the second time he is saying that TRT is about to reconsider its attitude to Eurovision.

We'll see. I hope you are right

Why you want another Hadise? One is not enough?

Funda looks like a talented girl but the ''producer'' Sinan Akçıl behind her is a disaster. If he would die today, i wouldn't say ''poor thing got so much to offer''. He made me want to be deaf with his summer hit.

It's not so much about her song which is really meh or about her, who doesn't sound bad, but not great neither, it was just because of her swearing in the Turkvizyon semifinal and her Getter Jaani on the final xD
