Latin America in Eurovision (or Wordvision)

[Carrie]

Why only Argentina?

It was an example.

Some people can't undestand that in the same way Australia-New Zealand-Canada-USA are connected with UK,
Latin American countries are connected with Spain & Portugal.

xyeah

Really, I can't believe how ignorant people can be...it's better read a book before giving some opinions about culture or history.
I want Eurovision in Las Malvinas xwoo

I'm sure we can make that happen if the UK wins again

 

[cegs5]

or Australia

 

[Carrie]

or Australia

Why Australia?

 

[cegs5]

Why Australia?

Apparently there are many people who want ESC to be held in the UK if Australia wins.

How can USA be considered European enough having 54 million latinos, but not Argentina with only 42 million people, most of them with Spanish background, and a huge Italian and German community

And not only that, Also Brazil, Venezuela (My country) and Mexico also have a hugeeeee Spanish, Italian, Portuguese even German population background living here. Lastly also the Russian & Belorussian people are coming to live in Latin America too due the growing interest to our lands

In Chile, also we have a lot Croats & Serbs living here (Chile could give 8-10 points to Croatia ans Serbia).

So, the Latinos we aren't European ..??

Yes, it was just an example, but as Argentina was mentioned I wanted to point that. I could write about Peru as well, having a community of Croats bigger than in Chile even, plus Italians, French and Germans, they even have an entire town in tge countryside under their administration...and not saying more about the Spanish background.
Perhaps MyHeartIsYours think that Peruvians are all still living in Machu Picchu and having llamas instead of Volvo or Mercedes Benz cars, speaking tribal languages, having Inka's surnames and eating insects. Not enough European roots.

Clearly this thread is just a wank-fest for lovers of Latin America. Well Im afraid that most people, the EBU and the United Nations all disagree with you and say that Latin America is NOT European, therefore it shall not be participating. Thank you.

this thread is obviously a sarcastic way to prove the hypocritical arguments of people like you with double standards or just a big ignorance about the world history and culture. You got nothing else to say after we proved you wrong, but assuming that we all want LA countries in ESC, which is not true. I don't want them in as I don't like Australia taking part...EBU can say whatever, it's just my opinion.
You are missing the main point, Australia isn't an European country, neither Argentina. I also have news for you, UN and EBU don't consider Australia as part of Europe, the fact that they accepted them to be in Vienna doesn't make the country European.
Get your facts straight. If you didn't get it, those examples were not written to prove how European LA countries are, but how ridiculous your arguments were.

Australia participating is a one off. It is the most loyal non-geographically European country involved in ESC and is therefore being given a treat for the 60th edition. What's the fuss?

That's a more sincere and actually only explanation that I can accept, besides the fact that some economic reason might have been on the table as well; but telling how "more European" some countries are and thus they are very welcome because of that doesn't really help, because it's only bullshit.

 

[Guilep]

I would be really happy if this happens tbh, but sadly, at least my country, does not show any interest for international music competitions. We won Festival OTI de la Canción 3 times, but nobody here knows about it, so why would somebody care for something they're not even participating?

 

[ParadiseES]

Oh, that crap

Yeah, obviously. But you don't need to disturb the EBU or United Nations for that. You just have to look at the globe. Same for Australia

 

[cegs5]

Festival OTITIS

 

[Franco]

I say: let them IN!
In South America the show would be aired at 15:00 - 17:00 local time, thus it's even easier to watch there than in Australia, where it's aired at 4:00 - 6:00. So, why not? It's all gain and no pain.

 

[LoveHate]

Then it's not really Eurovision anymore. I'm not too crazy about Australia either, and I hope it's just a one time thing (unless they win and come back for one more year).

Israel, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia etc. can be questioned as well, but I guess they're close enough. The problem is you can always go just a little bit further.

 

[Sabiondo]

So, first Australia, now China, and then could be our turn as well..?
