Just because something originated from one continent doesn’t mean only people from said contient should enjoy it. It’s not even an European Union competition, it came from Switzerland which was never part part of EU.
By your own logic only Greeks should participate in the OLYMPIC games. Olympe was in Ancient Greece. Mount Olympus is literary in Greece.
australia is really appreciating our inclusion! we’ve always participated a lot - from loads of watch parties all over the country, to australians representing countries, even australians organising various aspects (there are some aussies that work on various countries’ teams every year)… being included and able to participate fully is so nice!
we do love europe! even if it is over 22hr in the air to get there 🥺
if you liked this years from australia i highly recommend the music video! completely different vibe and imo makes the whole song much better… way more unhinged. i wish they went with a similar concept in the live performance!
Switzerland is a EUROpean country, the Eurovision existed before the EU… Like… Decades before.
If the Olympics were called “the Greek games” I certainly would be saying it’s not meant to be an international competition, but the name isn’t the name of a country, or continent, it’s based on the name of a mountain.
Modern Olympic games were invented by a French guy. Inspired by, but have nothing to do with, the original ancient Greece games. They have nothing in common other than the name. I mean, the Greeks were stoked to host them since they had fought for their independence a few decades earlier. But the whole universalism and global fraternity and peace thing was made up by de Coubertin.
Although there are many complains to be had about the EBU, I feel like being inclusive outside of european borders shouldn’t be one.
I’d love to see more countries join. Just not genocidal ones though.
So you want the Olympics of music, not the EUROvision
Your closed mindedness speaks for itself.

I’m really grateful Australia joins each year.

I never mentioned the EU

As it has been done since the dawn of time ans as it shall be done. MOGA! MOGA! MOGA!
Make Olympics Greek Again!!!
Just as long as the US never joins (and I say this as an American)
We take things way to seriously (and can’t laugh at ourselves) and it would just kill the vibe…
