Re: CHINA 2016

ESC 2015 appeared in CCTV-1's "Xinwen Lianbo", China's most viewed news program, which is the first time in its history. Generally only Chinese political, economical news appear in the 30-min program, and only 5 min for international news. Cultural event like Oscar and Grammy may appear but is not guaranteed a place.

One of our fans said he heard Mans' voice in the program and got scared because it was so unexpected.

Re: CHINA 2016

As much as I think China's an awesome country, it's a no from me for them in Eurovision. I'd be very for there to be a Worldvision where we compete alongside each other though ;)

Re: CHINA 2016

I think it is not a bad idea to include every year a guest country. Why not?

Yes,
but before China,
there are some other countries that broadcast ESC for years now,
like New Zealand, Kazakstan, Canada, Qatar.

Hmmm...I feel that a guest country would really only be a good idea now and then, like, maybe every 5 years.

Re: CHINA 2016

If China is joining, I would love them to send this song - modern with world music fusion
technically she is Malaysian but she build her career in China :)

(the official version of the song will be out not so soon, so it will definitely fit the 10 months' rule)

^If it's been performed or released at all before 1st September it's ineligible, this isn't FSC

Re: CHINA 2016

Why the hell are they doing this? Why is Jan Ola Sand trying to destroy something that took place (normally) for 60 editions (well 59). It's like allowing songs in english, french and german in SAN REMO. But it would never happen...because they actually care about the tradition and they know it doesn't make any sense.

I love China but NO. It's EUROvision.

Re: CHINA 2016

As long as they are just a guest, yes....I still have mixed feeling towards this (ESC is something that I wanna keep hidden somewhere, locked in a cage ,were only Europe can see it and play with it), but I'm in the same time curious to see others part of it.

Re: CHINA 2016

If they will allow China to participate, then they must allow Kazakhstan too.
Personally, I think it would be better, to allow non EBU channels, that are in EBU countries send their entries. We would have Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, Jordania, Liechtenstein.

Re: CHINA 2016

I highly dislike the "guest"-idea and I hope and pray that EBU come to their senses and keep Eurovision well... EUROvision and start to have some good darn respect towards the tradition and concept of the contest its the long time fans for once...

Bye bye Australia, no no China...

If they want to create a new Worldvision contest concept... sure go ahead! Could be fun to watch I guess... but don't make Worldvision out of Eurovision though... !

Re: CHINA 2016

We're asking who do you like to represent China if China is allowed to debut in 2016.

Mainly people go for Huo Zun and Li Yugang

Huo Zun - A Poem of Tang


Li Yugang - Chang E


I'll go with Twins the band, though they're a bit old-fashioned.
