Just saying if Kosovars enter for Albania in most contests, why is there an issue if a West Timorese represents East Timor? They're the same culture anyway... And for the record, Timor Leste was occupied by Indonesia from 1975-2002 so there's a good chance families would have travelled between the Former Portuguese colony and the original Indonesian territory

Then he is born Indonesian, not East Timorese. Moreover, I don't think that Albania has ever invaded Kosovo in recent history like Indonesia did for East Timor. For me, East Timor chosing a contestant with a connection with Indonesia would be as realistic as Ukraine sending Polina Gagarina to ESC.

I'm going to take a quick stab in the dark here and assume that despite how many responses you leave here arguing your point, that the results aren't gonna change. Also I CAN'T BELIEVE I ( ) qualified OMG

According to wikipedia, her father is an Indonesian born electrician who came from East Timor. It's not possible for Mihai to know whether that is true or false.

I'm sure we can all face the fact that this is just a fun online song contest, not a diplomatic issue?

According to Wikipedia, her father is born in Kefamenanu: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_AustraliansAnd according to the Sydney Morning Herald, the family of Jessica's father comes from Kefamenanu: www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/lunch-with--jessica-mauboy-20131030-2whyc.htmlAs I said, I trust the Sydney Morning Herald more than Wikipedia or Mihai.
