@albonor Active members are those whose states fall within the European Broadcasting Area, or otherwise those who are members of the Council of Europe. The European Broadcasting Area is defined by the International Telecommunication Union. The "European Broadcasting Area" is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1 (see below), on the east by the meridian 40° East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30° North so as to include the western part Russia and the countries...
@albonor that use to be a part of the USSR,the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Iraq, Jordan and that part of the territory of Turkey lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area.
The western boundary of Region 1 is defined by a line running from the North Pole along meridian 10° West of Greenwich to its intersection with parallel 72° North...
@albonor thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 50° West and parallel 40° North; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 20° West and parallel 10° South; thence along meridian 20° West to the South Pole.
Plus if that is the case then Cyprus (since 1981), Armenia (since 2006), Georgia (since 2007) and Azerbaijan (since 2008) which are all in Western Asia and Morocco in North Africa (which entered just in 1980) shouldn't be allowed either...
@albonor and Turkey (since 1975) and Russia (since 1994) which are both transcontinental countries with most of their territory outside of Europe maybe shouldn't be allowed either. They are all allowed and that is that so stop being so negative, it is a wonderful contest and has been enriched by the inclusion of all these wonderful nations, stop hating and just enjoy or don't watch, why comment and leave horrible comments that infuriate the real fans of the wonderful show!!!
Horrible comments??? what I said was not horrible at all. Its a FACT!!!! And I am just saying what everyone is think of........ Again, EUROvision!!! Euro like in EUROPE!!!!
@albonor Well it is the way it is and has been for several years, I think it has enriched the contest, well I think it is horrible to say that you want these countries to leave, when they have sung in this contest for several years and some of them have won, why comment on here saying that, if you don't like the EBU rules then don't watch there contest simple as and don't comment about such things on here!!!
@albonor that doesn't matter. Israel and other countries might not be in Europe but they belong to EBU so they have a right to enter. And IMO especially Israel! This country brings to the contest amazing songs! And the proof is their 3 victories! ;)
Im israeli and american but i always watch eurovision with my family. I love watching what the countries from around the world comes up with and what creative visions they bring to the stage and listen to either an americanized song sung in english or a song sung in their own folk or own language. Its a wonderful experience to watch on tv. Boaz Amuda is a great singer, but i think everyone should listen to the original version of this song that he sung in a duet with a girl! Its a lot better
after 3 years of ballads! the israelis want to send some of their up-tempo songs ! its time to send some happy songs and to win this contest after long time of dissapointing results ! COME ON ISRAEL ! we can do it! we did it 3 times for god sake lol !
Great song!!! Absolutely better than Russia that won... But that's the way it is... Only the countries which have good relationship with others win... Wonderful song!!!!
The semi's performance was better but one has to consider that this is the moment of performing in front of millions of people both in their homes and among the audience, so the nerves must have played a part on it. Nevertheless, he was fantastic and really should have finished among the top 3.
Spine-tingling, riveting. What a haunting, strong melody and my, what a performance! Truly one of the best songs this year; that it at least came 9th shows that there's hope yet for Eurovision!
I have a slightly different take on it - because it only came 9th I think theres very little hope left. Although he struggles with the chorus, this is a wonderful song
Well, those are two sides you can take to it, and I prefer the optimistic one. Though, as you say, it should have finished much higher. And you can hardly tell that he struggles; a great song indeed.
Well, you know me, I'm such a softy, so willing to 'not hear' in favour of the whole picture. You're right, his semi performance was more spotless, shall we say.
Wonderful song. I voted for this one (also for the danes and french). I just love how they are able to play by the rules of modern song making, but also include the native folk motives. From the very first chords in the semi I felt that I like this song, but he sang it better in the final, somehow it seemed more finished. Anyway, as now Eurovision is a political contest, winning is not the first place. People finding good songs like this is the real victory. People know which songs are good.
I love this song! And I'm happy my fellow Finns thought like me and gave it 8 points, only surpassed by San Marino's 10 points ... Even better'd have been a 12 of course.
This song is great because it gets better the more you listen to it, it's very rich. First I thought it was a bit odd, but the more I listen the more I love it!
Awesome song! My favourite song of Eurovision 2008! From my point of view it was the best one, but couldn't win because of politics.. (Israel is disliked)
As an Israeli I think we will never have the chance to win - All comments are right! Why Russia didn't sing in their language? Why wev'e got only the 9th place when there were worst songs? why Russian's neighbours gave 12 pts to Russia again? It's not fair. I have nothing against any country but if you ask me - Boaz has a (MUCH) better ballad than Dima and I havn't compared their voices yet. Thanks for all the people who had a better taste & supported Israel! We appreciate you all!
Thought this was going to be awful when he first walked on the stage, but it turned out to be a pretty original and high quality ballad. Much less predictable than most other entries this year, Im glad it did relatively well, the singer seems a nice guy
