EBU tried really hard to make them win this year, it's clear they're permanently in.

Also, Ukraine's national final will consist of 3 semi-finals + 1 grand final on February 25, 2017

Samantha Jade for Australia or bust.

[Mr Greenbird]

I heard some big names applied to Ukrainan NF, so hyped.

[Kayhan]

No turkey ugh flop

[KillingYourCareer]

Am I the only one who doesn't miss Turkey at all? They've never sent anything listenable apart from Everyway That I Can, Dön artik and Dinle

[Kayhan]

I only want to participate its fun to participate tbh + dont wanna mess with Eurovision.tv every year

[IMadeYouReadThis]

I miss Turkey tbh... their last few songs were horrendous but Every Way That I Can, Deli, We Could Be The Same >>>>>

I have Turkish origins and Turkey participating was the only thing that got my country hyped for ESC so I may be biased.

[greeneyedsoul]

Australia won, poor United States and China...

[greeneyedsoul]

How is San Marino in? Didn't they sue the EBU?
I miss Turkey, they would always give 12 or 10 points to Bosnia.

Turkey's votes were always a mess. Always voting for Azerbaijan and former Ottoman countries (Albania, Macedonia, Bosnia) and giving NOTHING to Serbia which had similar but better songs

[Mr Greenbird]

I am still waiting this

Jon Ola Sand: "We don't know if Australia will be a permanent member in the future but for sure they're in next year in Kyiv."
The lies...

[LuLuDrops]

The Final is finally on my birthday after a decade of barely missing the date YAS!

Imagine my least favorite wins now

[LuLuDrops]

Sand: 43 or 44 is the maximum we can do - Australia got saved by Turkey and Slovakia ha ignoring the show

[LuLuDrops]

We all know he'd do 46 if B&H paid their bills, Turkey and Slovakia returned and Australia still wanted to be in it

[KylieistBoi]

Yeah ok I won't stand for another year of EBU trying to make Australia happen. Good luck to y'all I'll be outta here after the MF final

[Navyofbadgals]

San Marino in? yass ready for the kiis
