    Interesting idea for the next contest, I presume the artist can have left the group some time ago Terry?

    Can probably put me down for October 13 if you want Weedy. :)

    Yeah, no time limit restrictions as long as they were (or indeed still are) in a group/band then they will be allowed. I am also thinking of allowing solo singles from someone that took part in a duo too.

    Does it matter whether they were in a group or a solo act first?

    No, I am happy to accept artists that had a solo single either before or after being in a band/group/duo. :)

    Yeah, you can enter someone who has been to Eurovision as well, but like the fantasy contest no song that was at Eurovision or a NF.

    I asked for that!!

    I reckon it would have qualified easily. Couldn't have done much worse than what they sent anyway

    Germany have launched their search for their entry.

    http://www.unser-song-fuer-oesterreich.de/

    They're encouraging people to send YouTube videos of them singing for a chance to be considered for a show. You can view these videos on the side - could be fun :P

    NF will take place in February.


    This is my personal favourite so far: http://www.unser-song-fuer-oesterreich.de/videos/detail/43 :D:D:D

    Excuse my ignorance, so is this a contest of former Eurovision artists? Or just anyone who has had a solo song...ever?

    It's neither.

    It's a contest for solo singles by artists who have been part of a group/band/duo.

    The solo single could have been released before that person joined a band, during their time together as a band, after they split up, or indeed if the band are still together. They could have been in Eurovision or not, I was just saying the song entered cannot be a Eurovision or NF song.

    I hope that is clear, it's entirely possible I am not being clear enough, I do tend to waffle. :D

    Unsurprisingly after their qualification this year, Montenegro confirmed today also.

    ESCtoday still behind the times considering the BBC confirmed in May. We also know the process if Guy Freeman remains in charge, which I am sure he will.

    Didn't they just say in passing? I believe it was ESCtoday who reported it then also. But wasn't it with the people in Copenhagen with Molly, so they wouldn't have had much of a say anyway. Then I think they said they were hoping to in an e-mail also? meh.
