Slovakia and Greece will almost definitely withdraw due to financial reason. The United Kingdom also may withdraw due to low interest and decreasing support for the UK in Eurovision.

"Jedward jetted home from Azerbaijan yesterday and insisted: "Ireland can still win the Eurovision ."
But the wacky twins, 20, admitted they won't be hoping to head back to Eurovision for a third year running - unless the President asks them to do it.
Now the lads want U2 to man up and represent Ireland at next year's concert in Sweden - to ensure Ireland definitely win again."

I didn't like when UK came up with Blue in 2011  . It was a catchy song, but such an average and forgettable song. |

 Eurovision 2013: New Rules May Exclude Belarus, Azerbaijan or even Russia
EBU – The Eurovision Song Contest 2012 was arguably the most controversial edition in the contest’s history due to human rights and freedom of the press infringements in the host country Azerbaijan. The newspaper Dagens Nyheter and several websites now report, that Nordic countries and the United Kingdom have now pushed for new ethics for the European Broadcasting Union, which organizes the contest. The new rules apparently contain, all the competing countries in the Eurovision Song Contest must be democratic, and that dictatorships can not participate. The details were presented at a meeting attended by representatives of the public service companies of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. In addition to the Nordic countries the United Kingdom and Austria also pushed for an ethical sharpening of the rules. The EBU will allegedly have the right to exclude existing members or prevent them from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. The new rules, which according to the newspaper were formally adopted at the EBU conference in Strasbourg in late June, highlights the basic requirements of democratic rights that need to be respected by a participating country. These new rules may affect Belarus as well as this year’s host country Azerbaijan. Other countries that come to mind are Putin’s Russia and the Ukraine, which has come under fire for arresting former prime minister Julia Timoschenko. What do you think?
LOL. Poor Azerbaijan |
