So I just heard that Australia is to return to next year's Eurovision Song Contest. They had originally took part this year as part of the 60th anniversary of the contest but have now been invited back next year as possible full time competitors. Now I have a big problem with this. I was a bit skeptical originally for this year. I have nothing against Australia and have plenty of friends there but for them as a full time participant of Eurovision causes problems. The main problem is the massive time difference as well as the distance. Eurovision was originally meant to be about Europe hence the name EUROvision. Plus it is getting too big as it is. I am a big fan of the contest and look forward to it every year but I do not want it to get too big and be ruined by overly long finals and semi finals.
