Yeah they all got the chance, but italy celebrate 10 years today, they have not competed since 1997 be it good or bad :)

Edit : and the others you mentioned got voted out in semi-finals

Ah, didn't even realise there were semi-finals tbh ;)

Why oh why is Ukraine doing so well, if this is anywhere near serious - i.e. people actually like the music they're voting for and it's not really political then the whole of Europe needs to be destroyed :p Ukraine song was probably the worst song I've ever heard in my entire life :p

The voting does seem very odd - a lot of it is blatantly political (Belarus/Russian love etc.) but at the same time I'm not sure why Israel votes for Belarus because I was under the impression they weren't particularly strongly tied politically. Is say, our taste in music in the UK really so much different to the rest of Europe :p ? I just can't believe anyone on this planet would think like the Ukraine song was worth voting for :p
