    2013 is/was an encouraging year for Hungary, the Netherlands and Moldova. Keep it up.

    Other Countries

    Bosnia & Herzgovina - They are currently in talks and have not officially confirmed a return.

    Kazakhstan - Negotiations with the EBU are going well and it is expected a deal could be struck soon meaning they could debut soon.

    Luxembourg - They have said that there would be no problem returning but have not officially confirmed a return. They have not ruled it out.

    Poland - They might come back after the 2 year break.

    Portugal - Same as Bosnia & Herzgovina.

    I guess the United Kingdom will confirm late as normal probably to express how enthusiastic we are as a nation for Eurovision.

    It will probably be down to ratings although the BBC can afford to enter either way.

    Well it's going to be interesting who doesn't return - I worry about Bulgaria, Slovenia and San Marino.

    I think he did not say that this year because last year he said "see you in Stockholm next year" and got it wrong since it is in Malmo. :D

    We have been in it every year since 1958 it would end the tradition if we withdrew and also the funding we contribute to the contest is a contract that would be hard to get out of.:D

    EDIT - I have not seen the end yet I am watching a recording due to missing the start I am currently up to Italy singing.

    They have the fancy new arena in Herning that hosted their national final with capacity of up to 15,000. Although they might just use their football pitch again.

    Going by this year my bet is on Herning because it is a proper arena and would be cheaper than doing a Germany (2011) again.

    Will we (the UK) pull out next year? If not our only hope is One Direction, we're guaranteed win with them!

    No we won't and I can see juries voting One Direction types down due to vocals but they'd storm the televote (not that it would ever happen)

    Yeah but they would only participate if Simon Cowell got behind the show.

    They have been going for 2 years. I don't like them though.

    I don't really listen to chart music anymore since I realised I could write better songs than are in the charts and enjoy it more.

    Only if we leave it too long, before making a last minute choice and getting hammered again. :D

    Greenland? Plenty of space but not many hotels.

    Isn't that a bit too far away? If they enter, the EBU may as well let Iran also :-S

    Iran cannot enter. It is outside of the European Broadcasting Area and therefore its broadcaster, IRIB, is only eligible for associate membership of the European Broadcasting Union.

    The place is quite underused it has only had 6 concerts and it opened in 2010. Is Denmark empty???

    I must add though that the concerts were from major artists.
