Isabella

i really hope they all come back,not sure that will really happen, but it would be cool

Emma

I am sure they won't, lol

Music Ranger

Please Bring Uk back with there Awsome Emo Songs.

Just kidding but it will be fun If The Uk Returns and it will be awsome if France and Germany Compete too.

Isabella

well i just saw that on the norwegian site there is a link to the officilal site 'international mgp', and they explain you have to download the plugin and such

weird if they don't participate...

cool kid

Yeah, I wonder if it indicates something...

Caroline

I am almost sure UK won`t return. I can`t really see how they will get enough countries for jesc 2007. Everyone says that Malta, Greece and Cyprus will withdraw. And they`ll maybe discalifice Croatia because the don`t showed jesc live. Then there`s just 11 left!

I think nrk did that just to be a little kind. I am sure Norway will not return. They have set deadline for 2007 and there the age was still 8-15. And they gonna be host country for mgp nordic so it is impossible.

Pacha

I heard that rumour and I say that a JESC without Uk is not a JESC, so.. I want to a return

Also, I had heard some rumours (ONLY RUMOURS!)
-Norway and Denmark maybe returns if EBU makes some changes on the rules
-Sweden will be represented by TV4 again
-It's true that Andorra has emitted the fesitval this year, so that could be a proof that it is possible that Andorra interested in participating next year

Lisey

time will tell!

cool kid

Lithuania and Bosnia-Herzegovina are almost certain for next year too remember...

SASDG

Yes I heard it was transmitted live in Bosnia, but has there been confirmation like Lituania ?

cool kid

Yes oikotimes reported few months age that they started a show this year which will be used as the national final from next year onwards Smile

SASDG

Great ! The more new countries the better, see what Bosnia has to offer.

Pacha

There is a doubt that I have...

Will be Croatia on JESC2007?

I said that because of this notice

(extracted from esctoday.com)

The EBU will investigate Croatian broadcaster HRT's decision not to broadcast the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on a national channel. HRT reneged on its promise to the EBU to broadcast the 2006 Junior Eurovision Song Contest live on a national station and thus broke the rules of competition. The show was live only on Satelite channel HRT Plus, leaving many Croatians unable to see the show or to watch on Bosnian or Serbian stations.
Speaking exclusively to esctoday.com immediately after the show, Svante Stockselius told esctoday.com:
"This is a violation of the rules and we will have to see what happened and what is to be done".
esctoday.com asked if there could be a punishment for breaking this rule and was told:
"The steering committee of the Eurovision Song Contest will look at this matter, but there is a clear violation of the rules and a penalty or punishment of some kind is possible, yes".
esctoday.com then asked whether these penalties could apply at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, or whether it would only apply to the Junior Eurovision Contest. Mr. Stockselius explained:
"No the two competitions are completely separate, any punishment would only apply to the Junior competition".
It also remains to be confirmed whether or not enough people were able to watch the show fo rthe televote to be valid, or whether the Croatian vote came from the back-up jury.
esctoday.com will investigate this matter further with our partner-site www.eurovision-croatia.com, who raised the alarm bells earlier this week. esctoday.com immediately contacted HRT and were told on Tuesday by the international relations department that HRT would broadcast the show live on their main channel!

Caroline

A little better with 13 of course. I don`t hope and I don`t think Scandinavia returns. They were fighting for new rules. EBU didn`t agree and that was why they withdrew. Why should they suddenly do it next year?

Martina

What's a rules? I supposed they gived up...

cool kid

Caroline

20 I think..

cool kid

SASDG

Caroline

oh maybe 20 was an older number because I am sure I read that in an interweiw with Svante Stockselius after jesc 2004.
They have a limit because it is a kid program and they doesn´t want it to be too big and the program to be too long. I think it is good.

cool kid

Or maybe that was the old limit and 20 is the new one??

Caroline

yeah that maybe because I found it again now it was after jesc 2005 he said it "next year we may have 20 countries but that will also be the limit"

Isabella

yeh i agree, there shouldn't be more than 20 countries participating, if they don't put a limit to it, maybe someday they'll have to do a semi-final thing like esc

but i don't think there will be 20 countries in jesc next year

cool kid

doesn't sound to me like it will happen but anyway Smile

Lisey

in a newspaper it said that the UK will be returning but with Channel 5 as its broadcaster!

Emma

OMG that would be really cool
Unfortunatly I wouldn't be in the UK anymore to see it Sad

Lisey

i'm not sure how reliable the source is but it's a step in the right direction!

Isabella

yeh at least it is not a rumor about other countries leaving....i really hope it's true

Tasha

I hope much other countries will do it too. Maybe Israel would be great also.
