Because parts of the countries are in Europe.

TONIGHT... GERMANY DECIDE.

It's likely to be Cascada, but some amaze songs on offer. I'd love Saint Lu to take victory <3.

[Maia]

Can't imagine it being anyone other than Cascada though, their name sticks right out

[MTVN]

Cascada's doing it? Not heard anything of her in years

[Locke.]

Anyone but Cascada

[MTVN]

Everytime We Touch and Miracle are absolute classics

[Locke.]

Well I don't know what is going on, there should be English subtitles

[Locke.]

I wonder who these people are

[Locke.]

Finn Martin!!!!!!!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

Yeah. Cascada has won this already, and she's on last so even more confirmation.

Would rather Ben Ivory or Saint Lu though, but I do love a bit of Cascada.

[Locke.]

Finn is going to win

[Black Dagger]

Saint Lu

Youtube video

Why isn't this representing Norway

Oh and Ireland are likely to be represented by either Ryan Dolan or Zoe Alexis Bohorquez (She knows Niall from 1D and has by far the most views on Youtube)

Kasey >>> both

[Withano]

I preferred it when it was racist, judges giving 50% of the points take the fun out of it for me

[Maia]

The song/artist representing the UK is officially announced on March 18th, can tell it's bound to be a disappointment though

[Black Dagger]

It's probably Kimbo Walsh.

Still hoping it's Hurts.

[Black Dagger]

Hurts are just ideal. While it's political, they have a strong European fan-base. Germany love em, they've had top 5 album sales in like 15 of the countries involved.

Bonnie Tyler, the 61-year-old Welsh singer who had a No1 hit in 1983 with Total Eclipse of the Heart, will represent the United Kingdom at this year's Eurovision competition.
It's something of a move for youth by the UK selectors who last year chose Engelbert Humperdinck, then 75, to sing in Azerbaijan. He came in 25th place (out of 26) with 12 points after his performance of Love Will Set You Free.
Tyler will perform a track called Believe In Me — a power ballad which was recorded in Nashville — at the event in Malmö, Sweden. The big hair, padded shoulders, soaring vocals and dry ice machines will surely be out in force to give 1980s nostalgists a Euro treat.
Tyler, who was born in Skewen, South Wales, said: "I am truly honoured and delighted to be able to represent my country at Eurovision and especially with such a fabulous song. I promise to give this everything that I've got for the UK."

She has a new album called Rocks & Honey out tomorrow and is presently touring as a guest on the "Rock Meets Classic 2013 Tour" in Germany. Her career started in 1970 when, aged 19, she entered a talent contest, singing the Mary Hopkin hit Those Were the Days. She finished in second place, winning £1. In recent years, the three-times Grammy-nominated singer, whose song Holding Out for a Hero (written with Meat Loaf's songwriter Jim Steinman) was featured on the Footloose film soundtrack in 1984, appeared on the Romanian and Ukrainian series of X Factor as a special guest artist.

Thirty-nine countries will participate in the 58th Eurovision Song Contest and as one of the “Big Five” countries (along with Spain, Germany, France and Italy), the United Kingdom gain automatic access to the Saturday grand finale on Saturday 18th May. The UK has won the competition five times since 1957. The last victory was Katrina and the Waves in 1997. Eurovision attracts an audience of more than 125million viewers.
The bookies weren't immediately impressed with the choice of Tyler, with Ladbrokes offering 40-1 on the UK winning the Eurovision.

come on england
