I will watch.

It's not until May 13, though.

Italy to win!

Hopefully they'll stop discriminating and let America compete.

Good thing Batlord has the definition of a joke handily in a text file on his desktop.

It is originally for members of the European Broadcasting Union, so that would rule out the US. Then again, Australia are now competing, so who knows?

Stephen Colbert made a good attempt at an American entry on his show last year. Coulda been a winner!

I'm sure Trump will demand the US participate (and win) or he'll nuke Europe out of existence.

Miss P explained it before. Anyone can compete.

Not quite true.

Not just anyone can compete. For example, the US would have to be "invited" as a guest participant - they can't just decide themselves and then rock up.

It's for members of the EBU - also Australia, conveniently an "associate" member.
