Just Kidding! Bosnia and Herzegovina Will Not Compete!

Because life is a hard and cruel game, Bosnia and Herzegovina announced its withdrawal from next year's Eurovision Song Contest. This will be the third year that Bosnia will not compete in the Contest, siting financial reasons.

The following nations have confirmed their participation in the 2015 Contest: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Finland, FYR Macedonia, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, The Netherlands, and The United Kingdom.

Greece will be allowed to compete as soon as its membership to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is approved. Bulgaria is still making a decision in regards to its participation.

And sadly, Eurovision-favorite, Ukraine, was forced to withdraw due to ongoing political turmoil in the region.

Last week, FYR Macedonia held the very first Eurovision national selection of this year, Skopje Fest. Daniel Kajmakoski and his song, "Lisja esenski," were chosen to represent Macedonia next May.

Rejoice! Bosnia and Herzegovina Confirm Participation in 2015!


Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of my favorite Eurovision countries, will be back after after a two year absence. Bosnia has never won the competition, but they are a well-liked country. In 2006, they came in third place with the song "Lejla" by Hari Mata Hari.


Bosnia joins a long list of nations who have confirmed they will take part next year: host country, Austria, as well as Montenegro, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, France, UK, Germany, Greece, Belgium, FYR Macedonia, Switzerland, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, and The Netherlands.

Turkey, Monaco, Luxembourg, Andorra, Slovakia, and Czech Republic will be absent from the competition.

And Bosnia Herzegovina is Out!


Yes, I am sad to say that since my last post, things changed for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Though they submitted an application for Copenhagen, an outside sponsor was never established. Bosnia announced their withdrawal from the competition earlier this week.

There are currently 37 countries preparing for Eurovision 2014.

Bosnia Herzegovina is Back!


After sitting out the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 for financial reasons, Bosnia and Herzegovina has announced it will return for the 2014 competition!

This is great news for me because B&H is always one of my favorite entries. Bosnian performers are very well received at Eurovision, and they have reached the final every year since 2004.

A Celebration of Sluts

Sluts are a proud tradition at Eurovision. Girls with high heels, tiny dresses, and big hair are a staple of the performances. Guys stand in front of wind machines until their shirts are literally ripped open, exposing toned, shiny abs underneath.

I love sluts. Sluts rock. The following are some of my favorite Eurovision sluts.
