Bits and pieces of Eurovision news found in various places. (Most of which has something to do with Oikotimes, so I apologise for their inaccuracy)
Apparently Liechtenstein, even without full EBU membership
are eligable to compete in 2011. This is because of a new EBU rule. Can anyone see a Liechtenstein entry not finishing dead last in the first semi final?
Austria are having a NF in 2011. This is actually all over the internet, but I totally missed it and am sorry if you've already heard it. There hasn't been an Austrian NF since 2005 so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with. Coupled with the first Swiss NF since 2004, the possible participation of Liechtenstein and the fact the contest is in Germany - Eurovision seems to be going Alpine in 2011!
Oikotimes reported that Slovenia were considering either cancelling EMA or withdrawing completely next year. That would fit in with Kargo's cryptic clue about a popular NF being cancelled last week. Another website (which looks even more dodgy than Oiko tbh) is reporting completely the opposite and Slovenia is now on the Participants list on Wikipedia.
San Marino are looking to come back in 2012 and apparently the winner of the Italian X-Factor will be offered to go to Eurovision instead of San Remo next year, which would be a bit of a tun around by RAI.
Also, has anyone heard any of Dutch representative 3JS's music? This song charted quite recently . . .

Just me who hates it? Also, can they
please sing in English? I normally love songs in a native language, but everything in Dutch sounRAB AWFUL imo.
