I think this means no Slovakia in 2012?

They'll probably go for internal again or yes, I fear they might skip 2012. So sad when countries who are really actually interested can't go because of money. For 2011 I hope they pick a great live voice, poor Kristina let it get to her.

The voice of Nela (2009) was great, but the song was dull. I hope for a great voice too.

The BBC finally woke up and said that soon they'll make announcements on this year's selection via Twitter. About damn time!

Releasing their songs on their official pages or performing their songs live before any deadline.I hope all future singers READ THE RULES of both Eurovision (nothing public before September 1st) and the rules of the selections too.

Lena's new album will be released on February 8th so that's when we'll know all the songs that will be competing in the German selection.

Georgia's getting ready

It's accepting entries from now until February 5th in both Georgian and English. All singers AND songwriters must be Georgian citizens. The national final will be held in mid-February.

Cyprus will sing in Greek

The song that was chosen among the other 10 today was San Aggelos S’agapisa which means I loved you like an angel. Haven't found any clips of it yet. Good luck.

Thanks escdaily for the news and video link.

Here's a clip of him singing and it's good that they chose Greek because he sounds fine as opposed to his performance in English that won him the ticket to Duesseldorf.
