That's what Ukraine is claiming about their entry this year as well. Russia (Putler) thinks otherwise

That what One Direction are for ;/)

Israel, for example, has been in Eurovision since 1973 - so "a few years ago" there were already non-European countries participating. To take part a country merely needs to be a member of the European Broadcasting Union. They don't have to be in Europe.

I'm glad you explained it to the idiots.

In regards to Australia they buy it as loads of them watch it. Since they are making it cheaper for the "big 5" including the UK, we may as well let them enter.

How can Australia take part in Eurovision?

Somebody thought they'd written Austria on the application?
