Yeah, me too! :nail biting: I'm so glad that Australia will join to ESC this year.

The 2014 Eurovision Song Contest has been the most successful one to date for Australian broadcaster SBS. The contest, which is shown on consecutive nights over the final weekend, achieved a total audience over the entire weekend of 2.7 million. The best viewing figures were reached on Saturday night, when the second semi final was broadcasted. 1.028 million tuned in for the show in which Australian Jessica Mauboy performed as the interval act.

People need to understand Australia has been following Eurovision for over 30 years with SBS as the Broadcaster. SBS is also a Member of the EBU & whilst it’s Eurovision’s 60th Anniversary, SBS has contributed to Eurovision by bringing the singing contest to Australian homes, whom many are of European decent. btw, Melbourne alone has the second (2nd) largest Greek population in the World after Athens.

LITHUANIA: Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumila - This Time

Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila will represent Lithuania in Vienna with the song This Time. The last-minute collaboration between heavy favorites Vaidas Baumila and Monika Linkyte proved to be a success. His voice was powerful, her voice was an artistic asset to compliment his. Although their previous attempts to represent Lithuania in Eurovision were unsuccessful, they knew that it would be different this time. The This Time lyrics tell us about how they know in their hearts, they have to persevere.

DENMARK: Anti Social Media - The Way You Are

We can always rely on broadcaster DR to produce a great National Final, and this year was no exception. The 2015 edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix was a spectacular show where Anti Social Media won the Danish ticket for Vienna with the song The Way You Are. The boy band consists of Philip Thornhill, Nikolaj Tøth, David Vang and Emil Vissing. The Danish cuties have taken a new step on their journey to Vienna with the release of the music video for ''The Way You Are''. The video puts the Danish four-piece and their two glamorous backing singers in a 1960s-inspired set, with the band looking dapper in mod suits. We also see the band hanging out in the back of a car, sometimes joined by perfectly dressed ’60s-style girl – the ''you'' of the title.

I don't find it boring

I wish Jon Henrik Fjällgren wins

warp9 said:
Yes, that's very sad, 'cause Andreas Kümmert is one of the best singers I've ever heard.

He shouldn't have taken part in the contest if he was gonna hand/reject his victory. He took the spot of another artist(s) who were interested in winning!

I don't think she'll get a 0. Who I think has possibilities to get a big fat zero this year is the UK.

I always have to be at home
I always have to do chores
I always have to eat well
I always have to drink well
