As reported by esc24.org sourced to TVP representativa Aneta Wrona, Polish Television is planning comeback to Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Polish representative in the show will be winner TVP2 show ''Mini szansa''. Junior Eurovision is also planned to be broadcasted by TVP2. It is not clear yet whether TVP participation has already confirmed by EBU.
http://esckaz.com/jesc/2008/ I hope they come back, would be great 
|

| cool kid |
wow that just made my day
|

| Stardust |
That is so exciting Poland was good even if they came last! | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Oh, I'm sure they will end last again. It's a curse.....

apparently a welsh broadcaster wants to enter JESC for the UK..... this would be good if it's in english.... but a bit stupid if it's in welsh! |
||||
| JulyY* |
I like it that countries are coming back to the contest well that they are intrested to comeback
|
||||
| Lisey |
It's great that there's an interest, but I don't think it's good if a TV station that only broadcasts in Welsh takes part for the UK , because it is not a fair representation of the country. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
OHHHHHHH Will we hear at last some Celtic music in jesc? COOL!!! | ||||
| Stardust |
better than no uk, and I hope they do it in welsh
|
||||
| cool kid |
Hmm I wouldn't believe this one

Ahhh, too much silence from the greek side... Cyprus is our brother nation, but i don't think we'll participate in jesc 2008. We have to wait to find out what will happen... | ||||
| Stardust |
They really should... hopefully!
A country like Austria or Germany should, or Ireland! |

Oh, and i'll send an e-mail to ERT to find out what they will do. |

I cant see anything wrong with her skin, not up close anyway, when the camera zooms out its probably just the pixelation. Nice duet, by the way. |
||||
| kosm1fent |
At least two of my top 5 artists made it to the final (Teuntje, Roufaida)
Btw SASDG i don't know if it is the pixelation, but it seems her skin is covered with black dots...
|
||||
| Sara |
i don't see anything wrong with her skin, either, she's very pretty =] I am not a fan of her voice, though. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Well, OK, I must be decieved by my computer screen then...
|

| cool kid |
Azerbaijan and Israel join!!!
http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3519 |

For God's sake! All Eastern European countries are now participating!

Portugal withdraws..
http://oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3518 |

I'm peeing myself with excitement right now! GREECE WILL PARTICIPATE!!! I will never believe stupid rumors again! GREECE STILL LOVES JESC!
http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3526 |
||||
| Stardust |
woohoo!! | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Haha, let's both stay cool! Or maybe... OK, forget it..... YES! YES! YES! We are going to win! GREECE 12 POINTS! 
|
||||
| Stardust |
Well greece has a chance with all these new countries so who knows! | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Hehe, we will send an rhythmic ethnic song, i'm sure! And don't forget that Cyprus is our brother country; we will get a very warm applause! | ||||
| SASDG |
Im glad for the new countries joining but sad for Portugal leaving, but I totally agree with them for leaving. You can have a fantastic show, like in 2005 and then you have to sit through 30 minutes of voting and then be dissappointed with the show because the winner didn't deserve to win, like in 2007, it was obvious Armenia had the best song on the night.
I just hope the EBU changes the voting system, they can use Junior Eurovision as a test for the Eurovision, with a jury voting or something. |
||||
| kosm1fent |
Well, juries are the best choice... Maybe they should choose 2 kid jury members, one older and one younger, dunno... | ||||
| SASDG |
Well I guess things can still go wrong with juries. Maybe if just Svante (EBU chairman) voted ... maybe not ! | ||||
| Stardust |
no way!!
they should get people in australia to vote we have no ties to anywhere 
|
||||
| kosm1fent |
No ties at all? Are you sure?... Don't forget that the Greek community there will vote for Greece, the Serbian community will vote for Serbia etc. Your voting probably will be the most political of all... :S | ||||
| cool kid |
yes but nobody actually watches it
|
||||
| kosm1fent |
|
||||
| SASDG |
Who actually watches the show in Australia, I wonder how the viewing ratings are ??
Hasnt Russia and Romania selected the winners ?? The song from Russia is quite grown up but a bit 'all over the place' I was just wondering when the chorus was going to come... but I liked it. The Romanian song is quite good as well, the singer is good. |
||||
| kosm1fent |
|
||||
| Stardust |
well SBS plays it on boxing day afternoon so it doesn't get much not many do I love it though!! Well we have no eastern block |
||||
| kosm1fent |
You have a lot of diaspora, though... Everyone will vote for his home country!
|
||||
| cool kid |
At a guess I would say a couple of thousand, but hard to know. |
||||
| kosm1fent |
|
||||
| cool kid |
because it aired in non-ratings period in the middle of the afternoon who knows how many people are watching tv then??
|
||||
| Stardust |
Australia, a successful PRIMETIME show on a big channel gets 1 million or over. On SBS or ABC.. less. Eg eurovision got about 400,000 people. That was in primetime with advertising and normal day. JESC is boxing day.. in the afternoon.. so it won't get much. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
I had thought that Australia had a big population, i've opened my encyclopaedia now and realised that you are just above 18 million. But I still don't understand. A popular show attracts 1 million viewers ONLY? | ||||
| cool kid |
The tv ratings are generally only counted from the 5 major cities. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Yes, but the ratings should represent the whole country. Australia isn't just these cities! | ||||
| Stardust |
We have a bad ratings system, it only counts like 1000 people then multiplies by a set #
most of our population is in those cities (bar hobart, darwin not counted) but it's weird. We never go over 3 mil, even 2 mil isn't often the olympics will get 2+ though it's weird |
||||
| kosm1fent |
Yeah, it's VERY weird. This sustem doesn't count your tv-preferences, it fools you. Anyway... Let's hope there are lots of people like you, Stardust, who are big JESC-fans...
|
||||
| Stardust |
I make my friends listen
|
||||
| Stardust |
Actually here is more detailed ratings (btw, what do your countries rate esc and jesc?)
http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/05/week-21.html http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/05/ratings-week-22.html so semi 1 was like 200k, semi 2 and final were like 450k |
||||
| kosm1fent |
Here is the official website of the company which counts the tv-ratings here in Greece:
http://www.agbnielsen.com/wherewe...ish&id=315&country=Greece According to the site, 1200 households are chosen from the greek mainland and the island of Crete. The company measures their tv-preferences. The way which households are chosen ensures that their tv-ratings represent the whole country. I'm very sorry, but the top 10 tv-ratings are in greek only, so i'll briefly present to you how many Greeks watched Eurovision: 1st semi: 2.264.367 2nd semi: 1.515.816 Final: 3.228.126 |

Wow for you semi was was more :O
My friends hate it, except for 1 lol.
My sisters love it though, my 7 yr old sis got quite passionate about belarus not deserving the win
Australian voters pick their Eurovision winner 6 June 2008 | 11:27 Email to friend Print Enlarge text Shady Lady ... Ukraine were a popular choice as Australia's favourite Eurovision 2008 performance / Getty When history looks back on Eurovision 2008 how will it be remembered? As the year Dustin the Turkey bit the dust? The year Terry Wogan quit? The year Russia stormed home with its first win? Or the year that Australians could vote online? * Join the discussion For superpower Russia it will be an unforgettable night. Iconic hunk Dima Bilan is still basking in glory over his memorable and medaled ballad. The Russian victory was well deserved; it didn't come without rigorous examination of the impartiality of the European votes There were over 8 million votes cast in the European televoting polls, and to ensure that there was no fraudulent behaviour the EBU contracted Deutsche Telekom, and the specialised German company Digame, to monitor and control the televoting system. For heightened security, impartial company PricewaterhouseCoopers audited the voting system and the results. (Yes, Eurovision is very serious business!) Whilst SBS didn't get ASIO to conduct a democratic audit of the online poll, our scrutineers have closed the voting, collated your votes and are proud to crown an Australian Eurovision winner. Shady Lady performed by the Ukraine was the stand-out Aussie favourite. Ani Lorak rated exceptionally well with our audience, wooing the voters with her sharp choreographed moves, luscious legs and Shakira style shaking hips. Closely following the Ukraine were The Netherlands, Armenia, Serbia and Malta. Until next year. |

Thanks for the useful news! I din't know that you could vote for your favorite! Ukraine was GREAT! You probably know that Ani Lorak's choreographer was a famous Greek choreographer, Fokas Evaggelinos...

Haha yeah. Well We can't vote in australia so we just vote for fun lol.
Read this: HOW bizarre. Russia thinks its win in last month's Eurovision song contest is a national triumph. Even weirder is that Britain is still moaning over its assumed humiliation. Just this week, Labour MPs even tabled a motion in the House of Commons demanding the BBC quit screening this "farcical event" after singing dustman Andy Abraham, a TV talent quest runner-up, came last, putting Britain once more in the basement with most of the rest of the West Europeans. But steady, my tone-deaf friends. Eurovision produced the very opposite results to the ones you imagine. Eurovision, of course, is not the most precise indicator of cultural power. It may be the world's most popular song contest, but the acts that 100 million viewers switch on to watch each year are almost all of spectacular mediocrity. They're like pre-chewed food - tomorrow's "easy listening" music today. Yet touchy Russia has still spent the past week and a half swaggering as if it had actually beaten Napoleon again - rather than been conquered by yet another Golden Horde. Its Dima Bilan was the first Russian in the competition's history to win first prize, leading to celebrations so mad that a Moscow News headline blared: "Russia in Ecstasy over Eurovision Win." President Dmitry Medvedev publicly rang Bilan to congratulate him, while Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent a telegram declaring this was "One more important triumph for all of Russia". Except it wasn't. Bilan won not because he was being Russian, but because he was being Western. He sang in English a number inspired by Australian self-help guru Rhonda Byrne and produced by America's Timbaland which sounded, sadly, much like all that man's stuff. It was no different with the two runners up: both the Ukrainian and Greek songs were typically Western genre songs sung in English. In fact, 17 of the 25 finalists sang in English, including even the French. The ceremony, too, hosted in Belgrade, was conducted almost entirely in English. So if the English had any sense of cultural history they'd take pride, not offence. Here is a tiny island nation whose language now provides the lyrics of international music, with 23 of Eurovision's 53 winning songs having been in English. If top Western artists competed in Eurovision as top Eastern ones such as Bilan do, there'd be more trophies to take home, too, but when a Russian bear sings in English, you know the West has still won. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/.../0,21985,23816843-5000117,00.html |

That's right... Very few countries choose to sing their own language. That's BAD...

Some news about JESC...
Bosnia-Herzegovina will be the third newcomer, after Ajerbaijan and Israel: http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3582 At last! Juries will appear again in Eurovision (starting with the junior one) :
http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3585 The JESC 2008 stage (same as Senior Eurovision 2008 stage for me): http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3586 And finally Ukraine will be the host country of JESC 2009! The host city will be Kyiv. Notably, Kyiv was the host city for the Senior Eurovision 2005. http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=3584 |

Nooooo Israel has pulled out 
|
||||
| kosm1fent |
Really? That's sad...
Anyway, I didn't really believe that Israel would participate...
|
||||
| JulyY* |
They won't participate because they don't have enough money to organize a national contest.. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
Silly excuses... IBA has more money than any European broadcaster 
Don't forget that Switzerland hadn't had money to organise a national selection too. But they participated... |
||||
| SASDG |
That why they sent a participant from a show 2 years before JESC 2004 !!! Switzerland didnt have a national final IBA should have pulled out a few days ago because then they wouldnt have to pay anything. But they dropped out after the last deadline, where they have to pay the "participation" fee. |
||||
| cool kid |
They didn't really seem that keen any way
|
||||
| kosm1fent |
|
||||
| SASDG |
Maybe IBA should just do an internal selection, like Armenia did. They already paid the joining fee. Same with Bosnia last year they dropped out after they paid the fee too. Not much point of that ... only realising they cant afford it after they've paid. I wonder how much the fee is to join Junior Eurovision ? They should let the Western European countries join for free because they are never going to win with all the Eastern European countries anyway. |
||||
| kosm1fent |
No, that wouldn't be a fair decision, the Eastern European countries could protest!
|
||||
| Stardust |
Yeah, it's jury now so who knows. Spain won. | ||||
| kosm1fent |
...the only Western Country who won!
I hope that the winning country of JESC 2008 will be Greece!
