Re: CYPRUS 2014

It's been only a year and a half since you sent someone special!

We still had money back then. And right now, we don't have any new "rising star" like we had Ivi back then, so we'd most probably would go either with a "has been" or a totally unknown one. We have few local singers/songwriters and bands that could do something good, but I don't think any sponsor would be willing to pay for someone unknown and risky.

As I see, we are out, and I'm not really sad for that. I don't think we'll be out forever.

Sad to hear it. :( I think it's time for EBU to do something about the fees, like ASAP. SOOC

Re: CYPRUS 2014

I wouldn't mind if we take a break from ESC, because right now I don't see us sending anything special, so instead of sending something average just to be in the contest, it would be better if we stay out. :|

I agree! That's exactly why I don't care about :pt: being out. Better that than sending average/bad songs only to be there. :|

^^ I agree. That is also why I found the potential withdrawal of :rs: like something that wouldn't bother me so much, because if we would participate with something as mediocre as "Ljubav je svuda" than it's better to stick out.


Still, I am sad that there will be no :cy: in the contest :(

^^ That bad entry was one of the few exceptions, Milos. :rs: is one of my favourite countries! :D

Ofc, I also think that the lack of money or interest that makes countries leave the contest is sad. :( Hope to see :cy: back with great songs ASAP! :D

Whaaaaat?! xshock
This is going to be the meagerest eurovision ever!
I think that the 2 semifinals are gone. I hope that there will be enough countries to fill the final, at least.

i'm totally opposite, Its no real big loss to me to be brutally honest. I did expect them to withdraw, and i expect Greece too as well.

When my taste in music is considered trolling please tell me what is yours? xrofl2

First of all, who the hell talked about your taste? Everyone knows in this forum how bitter and weird you are, and you proved this once more by saying that a country that has been in ESC for so many years is "no big loss". I'd react if you said this for any ESC country, how much more now that you said this for my own country.

My taste trolling? When and where? You are the last person who would call someone's taste trolling, because you tend to vote for the most horrible songs that exist in general opinion, and for some of these songs you are the only voter, so who is trolling then?
