Azerbaijan 2009 and 2012 were amazing because you kept some of your traditional music. 2012 was just a song ANYONE from ANY country could've picked up. Would someone say this song must be from Azerbaijan if they listen to it? No.
What people seem to forget is that Eurovision it's a CONTEST, where the only purpose is to win or a achieve a good position. It's not a festival to promote your artists. If TVR would be able to pay Lady Gaga and she would participate for :ro with a song from an american composer and win Eurovision, I think everybody in will say that WE won, even if neither the song or the artist is ours. It's just like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona achieving succes with non-Spanish players
