i dont know the details about why Georgia refused. Can it be because of the previous war between Georgia and Russia about Osetya?

as usual Poland will be last, our 'society' chose ballade again :/ I'm so happy… (it's irony of course, I'm not happy, I'm devastated that Polish are so stupid and chose such song…)

I´m not from Europe, but I like to watch this competition!! I have seen only the internal competition in Spain.

I don´t understand some of the rules (for example that some countries go straight to the final competition and stuff like that).

Last year I love "The fire in your eyes" from Israel, "Qele qele"  from Armenia and "Secret combination" by Greece. I don´t like  that "Believe" had won the last year competition…

I remember 'Qele, qele' it was nice song, I liked that, did you watch Eurovision when won 'Lordi'? I was so surprised, their song and wearing were strange… :S

Hahaha! Yeah! It was kind of strange!!!

I have heard that Lordi films a horror movie… something stranger than the fact they had won Eurovision, don´t you think?? Hahahaha! It has not been released here in Mexico, so I suppose it will be released directly to DVD.

Abt Georgia:  yeah, as far as i understood their song content was politiacally incorrect. One line in particular,sounds like "We don't wanna put in"( but Putin is a surname of russian Prime Minister) I don't know the details, but  it is surely because of the conflict between these two States!

I thought every country has freedom to participate with the song they want…. not matter the lyrics. In fact, I think is kind of stupid not allow Georgia to participate only because the sound of "put in", but well, there are rules I suppose, then we need to follow them.

Their (Lordi's ) voice would have been better to act in a horrror movie rather than singing. And thanks to God, soon they found their way :D

This year our biggest rival will be Armenia of course. because i heard that S.O.A.D. (System of A Down) will participate in. They are making good music in rock and i also like their songs. But they are a big fan of "Genocide Claim", which is still remaining to be as a crisis between Turkey and Armenia. And i heard that they will join eurovisin with such a song, in which the sentences usually imply the genocide. The diplomacy is still trying to work to interrupt them for their aim. And i hope soon the diplomacy can manage to find the truth and do whatever is required.
