I'd be here for Kazakhstan's debut next year. They're geographically partly in Europe after all
Imagine the mess if also Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan participated tho... 60 free points to Russia

Tbh the only country which would be economically possible to participate would be Kazakhstan. I'm here for ha tho!

Well, for the last 15 years, whenever Sweden won - Denmark won the year after, so I guess Copenhagen 2017

They should go back to the 100% televote system next year. Italy doesn't normally get neighbor votes, yet it would've won (by far). On the other hand, the winner, Sweden, would've been 3rd. They should learn from this and just let the people decide.

Imo, the juries are needed for a balanced result. However, they should go back to the old system where the juries ranked their top 10 instead of their top 26/27. That, or they should have less impact - maybe 33% jury vote and 66% televote etc.

Well, I think it's completely unfair that because of the jury, Poland was 5th in televote in 2014, yet finished 14th. And Poland is normally a flop country at the Eurovision!

Only cause of the Polish people abroad voting for it and there are plenty of Polish scattered throughout western Europe.

And Switzerland that year it was their first top in God knows how long

It's probably for the best that we have a jury that can somewhat manipulate the results. Imagine if a broke country like Greece or Portugal wins ESC, what would happen then? I don't think they have the resources or are even allowed to spend money on hosting this contest.
