Australia is European by culture and still European by race. I wish the Australian government could close the doors to the Chinkies and other non-white immigrants.

>>74503752
Because no one here gives a fuck about eurovision. It always had bad ratings when we participated.

They profit way too much from chinks to stop them from coming. At least they gain something from it unlike us.

Think of it like this: The Eurovision is a international phenomenon, bigger than Idol, exfactor, got talent or any other music competitions, amplified by the fact that the musicians represents their respective countries and therefore national pride and identity are involved. In 1956, only 9 years since the end of WW2 in Europe and in the middle of the cold war, someone thought it would be a great idea to have a singing competition between nations. This could happen in no other continent than in Europe and these other nations like Armenia, Israel etc. see this and seeks to enhance their ties to this community of nations that celebrates shitty pop and national pride through dance and song

poor russia people are having such a bad time now, we just wanted to watch a show and see our representative there, but ukrainians just decided to kick us out.

Just give their land back, Ivan.

>>74504347
Then return Crimea and you can participate in Eurovision, seems like a fair trade

>>74503072
The fact that nearly every country sings in English should be enough to boycott this shitshow. How cucked are Europeans?

i would do that but the ordinary people here can't influence what politicians do since this country is corrupted to the core.

Eurovision is not about politics but it may not be the best idea to let Russia participate in an event celebrated in Ukraine security wise.

You know, no one has to deal with an angry Ukrainian mob beating to death any Russian in sight.

>>74504659
Yeah I think Russians should be glad that they can't participate this year. Remember the last years when the crowd was booing at the Russian participants? I can't imagine what would happen this time...the BOOS would be louder than the performance itself

>eurotrash songs that all sound the same

>>74504872
Yeah but they could all sound similar while singing in their native language to bring the diversity up a notch. Language is an important aspect for people and their country.

>>74504765
It's become a tradition, ABBA is probably the most famous example, but our success in eurovision and international music overall is a great source of pride in sweden, it's also become a tradition to talk trash about the competition in public and point out how goofy it is while still cheering sweden on in the final. If you want to read up on the swedish obession of eurovision further just google Schlager music

Il Volo should have won btwtbqh

>>74504547
One of the best songs we've ever sent finished second to last because the lyrics were patriotic and we were still under Salazar's regime and denying the independence to our african colonies.

i bet tatars and other minorities in russia want to see themselves as european more than anyone.
it's mostly so-called ethnic russians who insist on being unique and non-european

>>74505470
There's 1.2 millions pakis in Europe, it's not "millions"

>>74503560
It's basically a colony of european jews and their descendants, ironically the few jews who lived there before are treated like shit.

>>74505605
Israël population is mostly mizhari, moroccan jews, arabs muslims, only """euros""" are Russian jews.

>>74503560
>>74505605
I think it's mostly about how they have very little in common with their neighbours and Europe is relatively close and have relatively common cultures

>>74505526
Why? Wouldn't Tatar identify more as central asian, why would they identify as Europe? I mean Buryat etc don't, do they?

>>74505762
No it's because the contest is run by the EBU which is just a geographical broadcasting union. North Africans could participate too if they wanted to.

>>74505526
>>74505788
It's ironic, but I'd believe it. There's a bunch of places in Central Asia where I'd bet they'd love to be able to interact with the rest of the world without having to go through the Russians.

>>74505150
Il volo was pathetic. The lyrics were pathetic, one of the guys couldn't sing for shit, the whole thing looked like a joke opera.

>schlager music
I don't think I grasped the concept of it. But judging by wikipedia's article on this, it's popular in many european countries but not a thing in the Iberian Peninsula, which might help explaining why we're shit at eurovision.

Not sure why we stopped participating,we even won a couple of times

Not here because the regime discourages national pride and probably because the state broadcating company which decides the candidate just doesn't give a shit about "representing our country" and wants to appeal to foreigners instead since Germans can't vote anyway.

Didn't they only arrive in the 13th century and genocide abos who lived there before?

It's kinda respectworthy that Bongs and Maoris signed a treaty to establish NZ as both Bong and Maori. Even if the version in Maori was a different version kek

>>74507439

No that's a myth. There was nobody here before they arrived, but there were clashes with the Moriori tribe of Maoris.

You're right in that they did only arrive around the European middle ages
New zealand had never been populated before then

>The Luxemburgois broacaster currently concentrates on news features rather than music and entertainment shows. A participation at the Eurovision Song Contest would be both a financial and organizational strain on the channel, taking into account its low financial budget. The broadcaster has no plans to return to the contest at the moment.
